00:00Tommy Kern was on with Jones and Keefe yesterday, on a Tommy Tuesday, and had this to say on the Patriots' lack of a pursuit of wide receivers.
00:09I completely agree with you. I was thinking that yesterday. What was their plan B at wideout?
00:15I don't think it was Devontae Adams. Certainly wasn't going to be T. Higgins.
00:19Cooper Cupp, as Diana Rossini reported late Thursday, the Patriots weren't really in on it.
00:24Now I don't know if that was Cupp's decision or the Patriots' decision.
00:26Metcalf they pushed away from the table on.
00:28I think you're right that the Chris Godwin money went to Carlton Davis.
00:33So that to me, they were non-starters in terms of conversation at the wide receiver position,
00:40which the most important thing to them right now, one of, is making sure that the huddle and atmosphere around Drake May is pristine.
00:51They want it to, they want the most important voice in his ear to be Josh McDaniels,
00:57not a wide receiver who just showed up and is going to be here for two and a half or three years,
01:02who has his own set of self-interests to serve.
01:06D.K. Metcalf would have been here, what, four years because they would have signed them on a four-year deal?
01:10Who cares if they're only here for two years?
01:14That's the way it works in the NFL.
01:17Like, I don't understand this. I don't get it.
01:21All you're doing is, this is what you're doing.
01:23You're saying, okay, we don't want that guy that could potentially be a issue or in the quarterback's ear saying,
01:31hey, Drake, I'm open on this or whatever.
01:33You're saying we don't want that guy.
01:35We want the guys who don't say nothing, but those guys might not, they're not going to make any plays
01:41because you know what you're going to have in two years?
01:43You're going to have a problem because now you're going to be looking for a new quarterback.
01:46You have those guys anyway.
01:48They're just not at the same skill level as the guys that you're saying no to.
01:53You had a guy last season who told you that he has the best hands in the NFL, who was able to catch the ball five times.
02:01Like, how good do you think Drake May can be without talent?
02:06Like, it's going to be really difficult for him.
02:09So do you think if he has no talent around him this year,
02:13do you think he's going to progress or regress?
02:17I don't think he's going to regress.
02:19But if you have no talent, Greg, it's going to be hard for him.
02:22He's going to be out there like, or maybe he's out there running for his life or he's trying to make a million plays
02:28and he's going to be throwing interceptions because now he's trying to fit balls into skinny windows
02:33because he knows like, well, I got to put more of this team on my back.
02:37You run into those issues with him as a quarterback.
02:41If you're really questioning receivers, I just, I encourage you to look around the league
02:47and see what Tyree Kill did for Patrick Mahomes,
02:50Stefan Diggs did for Josh Allen, DK Metcalf and Jackson Smith and Jigba have done for Geno Smith.
02:56I mean, Kirk, Justin Jefferson, what he did for Kirk Cousins,
03:00Sadie Lamb for Dak Prescott, Tyreek Ntua and Jalen Waddle,
03:04like Joe Burrow for, and Jamar Chase.
03:07Like across the league, every really good quarterback has a really good wide receiver.
03:14It kind of comes like that. That's how they get above the fray at quarterback.
03:19AJ Brown, Devontae Smith, what they do for Jalen Hurts.
03:23Outside of Mahomes and Brady, there's nobody that wins Super Bowls without one.
03:27Right. And what's the biggest knock, the biggest problem that he had up until last year?
03:35Shout out to my boys, the Eagles, Lamar Jackson and what's his name?
03:43Flowers, Zay Flowers. Up until last year, like Lamar's biggest knock was he needs a wide receiver
03:49and they never got him one. Then Zay Flowers, they draft.
03:52He looks like he's pretty good. Unfortunately, he gets hurt.
03:55Then they go out and they signed DeAndre Hopkins this year.
03:58So every great quarterback, unless you're Brady, but even Brady still had Rob Gronkowski
04:08and then he had, I mean Moss was a short period of time, but he had Gronk who was a great tight end.
04:15And Mahomes has Kelsey.
04:17And even before that, he also had Tyreek Hill to start his career.
04:20Brady's the only one where you can go, all right, he didn't have like that type of wide receiver
04:25was able to do it.
04:26And you can't use that argument anymore. Not you Wings, but in general,
04:29the one where you can't win with the elite receiver. Tyreek Hill won a Superbowl.
04:33Stafford's been good. He was great with OBJ. OBJ would have been the MVP of that Superbowl
04:37if he didn't get hurt in the first half.
04:39But he also had Cooper Cup.
04:40Right. Yes. Cooper Cup. I mean like all these guys, but if you want to say Cooper Cup's more of a
04:44AJ Brown.
04:45Right. AJ Brown just did it. He was, he was making an issue on the sideline.
04:49Two minutes later, he catches a 60 yard touchdown.
04:52Like, it's just the game's changed. You need those guys.
04:55What's next, Sean?
04:56Next, let's go over to the NBA.
04:58One of the most important pieces for the Boston Celtics as they gear up for the playoffs
05:01would be the health of Kristaps Porzingis, who played really well last night.
05:06We can hear from Porzingis and how he's feeling after last night's game.
05:10I'm feeling all right. I'm feeling a little bit better each day, I would say.
05:15Energy's going back up.
05:18But still, for sure, working my way back into the best shape.
05:23Love it. I'll take it.
05:25Love it. You got him healthy, and you're like, I wish the playoffs would start.
05:30Like, let's go.
05:31I think it's like 15 more games, so they got a nice little road run here.
05:36Oh, stretch.
05:37Yeah, you get through that.
05:38All right. Is that it, Sean?
05:39One more quick one for you, if you want.
05:42The hero, though, from last night's game, Baylor Shireman,
05:45talked about how Boston has quite possibly the best environment he's ever been in.
05:49Probably the top three environment I've ever been a part of,
05:51and obviously I've played in a lot of big games,
05:54and so it's just special, and that's obviously what makes Boston so elite
05:59and the best sports town in the country, best city in the country.
06:03Hear, hear.
06:05I will say one thing about the Celtics.
06:06I saw early this morning on Twitch somebody write in
06:10that they spent a lot of money on their ticket last night to not see the Jays play.
06:14So Greg always brings that up,
06:16and that is something that people still get upset about.
06:18Yeah, but it's the NBA in general.
06:21Right, and at this point of the season, it's like, what do you expect?
06:24Yeah, I understand that argument, and I do,
06:27but I think you have to be aware that if you're going,
06:30you may not see the superstars that you want to see in the NBA.
06:34You have to look at it and compare it.
06:37They should do a cheaper ticket for load management nights.
06:40They should call it load management night.
06:43No, they should.
06:44And it's a half-price ticket.
06:45But you got to look at it how it would be like if your team was good in the NFL
06:50and you went to a week 16 or 17 game.
06:55You might not see those guys.
06:57This is their week 16, 17.
07:00Okay, that's they said it.
07:02Quick back and forth on what they said yesterday.
07:06Reminder that you can watch this show every day,
07:08either on YouTube or on Twitch,
07:10and it is brought to you every single day on Twitch by Springers Jewelers.

07:25And Terp running the pitch show this morning.
07:27Yes.
07:28See what happens?
07:31I did not know that.
07:33I did see Terp come in early.
07:34Yep.
07:35Twitch Mitch announced to me yesterday he is flexing the next four days.
07:39First time he's ever flexed.
07:41Ever since he started with us, ever.
07:44It's a trickle-down effect.
07:45It is.
07:46Trickle-down effect.
07:47Yep.
07:48Trickle-down effect.
07:50Oh, you're unbelievable.
07:51They look around.
07:52Oh, they're taking off.
07:53They're flexing.
07:54See, that's what happens.
07:55People go, well, she's flexing.
07:56Oh, Courtney's off to Florida.
07:58Oh, Shime is off to Florida.
07:59She took off two days.
08:00Oh, Curtis is working remotely.
08:02I hate flex days.
08:03I just didn't know that Wiggy was such like a Gestapo, you know?
08:06No, I'm not.
08:07You really are.
08:08No, I'm just saying for my fearless leader, Courtney, the one who sits here and says-
08:16What am I supposed to say?
08:17Mitch says, I got a bachelor party and a wedding that I have to go to.
08:21So what am I supposed to say?
08:23I just can't wait for Wiggy's next day off because I am just going to just talk only about that.
08:29My next day off might be when we're all off because that's the type of work that I'm putting in.
08:34Well, that's a decision you make.
08:36Courtney.
08:37That sounds very sad.
08:38I'm sorry that you have to-
08:39No, no, no.
08:40Greg's our leader.
08:41He sits here and he criticizes and you always get on his case.
08:44Oh, you're a boomer this, you're a boomer that.
08:46He criticizes-
08:47Stop keeping it 100.
08:48Yeah.
08:49He criticizes people who don't go into work, use all these flex days and remote.
08:56And when I'm here on those days when you take vacation, what are you going to say then?
08:59He allows his staff-
09:01He just doesn't listen to you.
09:02No, he doesn't care.
09:03He allows his staff to do the same thing.
09:06Yeah, but Shyam works a million weekends.
09:08Hold on.
09:09So what are we talking about?
09:10So I worked every weekend for like the last eight years.
09:12You did like four years ago.
09:13Yeah.
09:14We're still talking about the Sunday football show from when I started.
09:17The first season I was here, that was three years ago.
09:19Last year was the only year I didn't do Sunday football.
09:21No.
09:22No, yes it was.
09:23No.
09:24It was the last year you were here.
09:25I will.
09:26It was the last year it was the only year I didn't do Sunday football.
09:27Right, the year prior, you called in driving to your home.
09:30And all I said-
09:31To do your three keys.
09:32All I said-
09:33The year prior, you called in.
09:35Yeah, right.
09:36You said keep it 100.
09:37While driving to Gillette on a bad AAF phone.
09:38Right.
09:39No, no.

09:41You said, all right guys, now we got to win the curtover battle.
09:42Now.

09:50Courtney, you said keep it 100.
09:51Yeah.

09:54Number one, ball control.
09:56Now, Greg you're soft.
09:58Greg you done got soft.
