03/26/09 – Soda in soup bowls
With a mouthful of food Fred opened the show to thank Bryan in California for today’s lunch which they were washing down with soda in soup bowls. The guys then went into the recent rule changes that were discussed at the owner’s meeting, some of which Paul had a problem. One of which was the potential of extra games added to the regular season which the guys discussed in depth including the potential ramifications including the loss of quality in “the product” and player salaries.
Follwing an email from lunch buyer Bryan in California, Chris with a tian called in to discuss the potential of extra regular games and ask a question about the Patriots draft picks before he had to leave quickly as he seemed like he was in a party. After a break, the guys talked about the impending birth of Andy’s daughter before John in Palm Bay called in to ask for the Patriots records in the various locations they have played.
Jim in Texas called in to talk about Torry Holt visiting the Jaguars, asked the guys what they thought of former Jaguars WR Reggie Williams and brought up the Julius Peppers situation which seemed to have gone quiet. He left with an offer of lunch and a shot at Tugender before the guys joined in with Andy going too far having”crossed the line”.
The guys then talked briefly about moving SuperBowl to Patriots Day before Andy brought up Rodney Harrison talking about the rule changes and how he thought they would make the game ‘soft’. Fred then read out a few emails that discussed the rule changes and an extended season before Paul left for the Big Show.
The guys then briefly discussed draft prospect Pat White before delving into the supposed elite prospects that included Everett Brown, Brian Orakpo and Aaron Curry. Fred declared that he will begin his draft prospect research “next week” as he needs to “get upto speed”. This made Andy and Erik laugh particularly when Fred said he’d be watching all the tapes.
After Erik hit out at the emails concerning the show’s switch to Flash the guys discussed events that will be held at Gillette Stadium including rumours that the NHL winter classic would be held there. Fred also hinted that Metallica would be coming to town.
Erik then directed people wanting to discuss the Flash/RealPlayer issue to go to PFWinProgress.com and talk about it in the forum. He had good things to say about the website but, can I remind you Erik, that “Wales and England are different countries”.
The guys then talked about the news that Robert Kraft had inducted former Patriots owner Billy Sullivan into the Patriots Hall of Fame. After a game of over/under Fred read a few emails which brought about discussions on Zach Thomas, Tony Gonzalez and Alphonso Smith.
The show ended following an email from Craig Bunse about the Patriots’ O-Line, one from Matt of Optimum Performance and an announcement that PFW in Progress would be getting it’s own T1 line.
