06/04/09 – “You are a pussy”
Following the great new Gilligan’s Island intro from Tree Hugger, Fred opened the show with an apology for his performance on Tuesday’s show blaming Alyssa Milano. Paul told about a visit to his son Will’s school show, in which he sang six songs, and spoke about how several parents came up to him to talk about the NECN show.
The guys quickly touched on Rodney Harrison’s retirement before talking about the NBC conference call officially announcing Harrison and Tony Dungy as analysts. The guys discussed former players who become television analysts before discussing whether Harrison would do anything for Patriots Football Weekly.
Fred then brought up the comments made by the Jets new head coach Rex Ryan about not kissing Belichick’s rings and Tony Dungy calling the Patriots the team of the decade. The guys then discussed Harrison’s Hall of Fame merits, in which they all thought he wouldn’t get in, comparing him to other defensive backs in the Hall and whether his suspension will hurt his chances.
After a discussion about Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett’s almost no-hitter, John in Palm Bay callled in to ask about the Patriots’ All-Time Team before Fred played an mp3 from Mikey Vandalism that discussed Rex Ryan’s comments. Fred then went on a tirade about how the Patriots are “going to pull his pants down and spank him so hard”, “humiliate him as a coach and a man” and “send him home with the something up his you-know-what”.
Tree Hugger called in to talk about his excellent Gilligan’s Island opening and who will fill Rodney Harrison’s shoes in regard to being a go-to guy for the media. The guys discussed at length potential replacements including Adalius Thomas, Shawne Springs and Patrick Chung (when he finishes his rookie season) before discussing where this off-season ranks in Patriots history.
Following a break, the guys questioned the Doctor on why Toyota Tacoma isn’t working the boards before discussing Nikki Cox. Fred then read a few emails that discussed putting Erik “in check”, Vince Wilfork’s absence and the quality of the conference calls. After Andy revealed that he was going to see Billy Joel and Elton John, Fred said “You are a pussy” before Erik called him AC/DC.
Several emails brought up another discussion about Rodney Harrison’s Hall of Fame merits before Craig in North Carolina called in to talk about Fred getting worked up over Rex Ryan’s comments. He also compared Rodney Harrison and current safeties, including Ed Reed, to further the discussion of Harrison’s Hall of Fame merits. This led to another typical Fred and Paul argument over what Ed Reed could do that Rodney Harrison couldn’t and how the Pro Football Hall of Fame is different to other sports.
Fred then played another mp from Stevie H that sung a song for the guys that maybe should have been screened. Andy claimed that this was the “most vulgar show ever”. After further Rodney Hall of Fame discussion the guys discussed the potential 09 Patriots starting lineups with Fred saying Sebastian Vollmer will be starting at right tackle, despite never playing there and only taking reps at left tackle.
An emailer brought up some ideas to promote PFWinProgress including invitation cards before Fred announced that he had a fire at his house. The guys brought up whether this would affect Fred’s annual party and ended the show with possible time changes for next week’s shows.
