04/21/09 – The moral majority
Fred opened today’s show before going live to Head Coach of the New England Patriots Bill Belichick’s pre-draft press conference where Erik and Andy were both heard answering questions.
Following a break the guys returned to the show from the press conference with digs from Fred about not having their questions fully answered. They then discussed what Belichick said, including how there wasn’t any consensus #1 pick and the amount of times he mentioned Matt Cassel.
Fred then stated that Mark Sanchez will be a better NFL QB than Matthew Stafford before Fred talked about the nominees for this year’s Hall of Fame Class. He let slip the names of three players that make up this year’s class being Jon Morris, Jim Nance and Houston Antwine.
The guys then went back to Bill Belichick’s press conference before (finally) getting to John in LA’s call who talked about Erik’s question to Bill and some of Bill’s comments. Fred read an email from lunch buyer Cormac about what proportion of the Patriots previous draft picks they had worked out and if private workouts are smokescreens.
Craig from South Carolina called in (welcome back Craig – it’s been a while) to talk about Julius Peppers dropping hints about becoming a Patriot and asked the guys who will be calling the offensive plays this year. Craig then offered his draft picks before Fred continued with Cormac’s email which brought up a question on how the draft works behind the scenes.
Mike from San Francisco called in, to the requisite Singletary joke, to talk about the grey area in Bill Belichick’s answers before asking the guys some over/under questions and brought up a debate about Pat White and Percy Harvin.
An email from xx in the Vineyard, calling Paul ‘the moral majority’, gave the guys another game of over/under to play and following some talk about fish sticks and a Haveline commercial Jim in Texas called in to talk about the draft. He ended the call to talk about Paul’s anger and how the word ‘synergy’ summed up PFW in Progress.
An email from Cedric brought up potential Patriots’ LB draft prospects Rey Maualuga, Larry English and Clay Matthews, the possibility of trading for Julius Peppers on draft day and what Tight End prospects were available in this year’s draft.
An email about the availability of the Patriots throwback jerseys was brought up to which Fred announced that the ProShop will be taking orders online and in stock from tomorrow (04/22/09). John in Dallas called in to talk about the draft and offered his thoughts on some prospects including Connor Barwin, Clay Matthews and Jarron Gilbert.
The guys played an in/out game about Patriots players who will make the NFL Hall of Fame before discussing some recent talk in the PFWinProgress.com forums about Erik being credited on an artistic nude model’s website. Erik denied all knowledge of Daisy May until he saw her picture and “mysteriously” admitted knowing her. The guys then grilled Erik about it without getting very far apart from getting him to admit he took photographs of her before Fred returned to the emails.
Strippers emailed in a quiz which reminded Andy about ESPN.com’s ‘all-time’ draft before an email from Salt asked about Chad Johnson’s trade situation and unpro-rated contracts. An email from Matt in Oregon asked for the return of Swig and talked about the pass protection situation with the return of Tom Brady under center.
