- If Bruce Arians isn’t happy with Tom Brady at the end of the season - would you trade for him and add one year to his contract at $15mm (would have to add talent and draft a QB in first two rounds)?
- Cam records by attempts in his career:
- Under 25 attempts….17-4 (.809)
- Over 35 attempts……5-21 (.193)
- players whose stats were misleading and didn’t correlate to winning:
- Jim Rice
- Andre Tippet
- Tuukka
- Russ Francis
- Dice K
- Sony Michel
- Rick Porcello
- Joe Thornton
- Roger Clemens
- Tony Eason
- Paul Pierce
- Reggie Jefferson
- Milan Lucic
- Winovich is no Bruschi - First two years:
Bruschi……86th pick / 6’1″ 247 lbs / 41 tackles/ 8 sacks
Winovich - 77th pick / 6’3″ 250 lbs / 56 tackles / 8 sacks
- This was discussed on WEEI this week:
- Julian Edelman - LIFETIME earnings $43mm: Three rings / Super Bowl MVP / One of two receivers in NFL history with at least 500 regular season receptions AND 100 plus postseason receptions (sacrificed his head and body for team)
- Jayson Tatum - ANNUAL pay $40mm / Never been to a championship series / Never been in top 14 in scoring (never seen him dive on the floor)
- How the 40-1 odds Red Sox could win it this year:
- Take Jackie Bradley, Mookie Betts, Porcello, Moreland, David Price, Pedroia (1 more year) money and with $70mm a year sign Springer (4 yrs @ $110mm), Brad Hand (2 yrs - @ $25mm), Kluber (1 yr $15mm), Lester (1 yr @ $15mm) and hope E Rodriguez is ok and Benintendi finds it
- Line up: Springer, Verdugo, Bogaerts, Devers, Martinez, Benintendi, Vazquez, 2B, RF
- Rotation: E Rod, Sale (in May), Lester, Houck, Pivetta
- Bullpen: Hand, Eovaldi, Barnes, Mazza, Seabold
- Brady and Tampa
- Brady stats in wins and losses this year: Wins - 20 TD to 2 INT / In Losses 5 TD to 7 INT
- If Bucs lose to Chiefs this weekend - they will be 1-3 since Antonio Brown joined the team (6-2 before)
- That many stars on your team is like the cast of Ocean 11 - none of they can shine
- Don’t count Brady out BUT he is starting to look like Willy Mays in the World Series for the Mets kneeling at home plate after being thrown out
- Amazing Stats - Top salary slots from 2018 Patriots not with the team last week: 1. Brady $22mm / 3. Gronk $11mm / 4. Hightower $10mm / 5. Gilmore $9mm / 6. Cannon - $6mm / 7. Gostkowsk $5mm / 8. Edelman - $4mm / 9. Clayborn - $4mm / 10. Dwayne Allen $4mm 11./ Chung - $4mm / 12. Harmon - $4mm / 13. Van Noy - $4mm

- From the Belushi documentary on Showtime - at the same time - He was on the number one TV show Saturday Night Live / Number one movie Animal House / Number one album - Blues Brothers
