Poor Fred having to face his idol after being so critical of his latest acquisition was comical. And Glenn forced the issue with Fred leading off and reiterating his concerns in the form of a rambling question that was winding up with - of all the guys I never expected to see here - and BB (laughing) cut him off with "TO?"
Bill is comfortable with his decision. He understands why there would be concerns voiced, but he asked Fred to give it a chance. He will also not put it back on his players to make this guy work. This is between him and Randy, and he believes the potential upside outweighs any potential risk. Says Randy will be OK with his "touches" because more than any player in the league he understands the double team and how you beat it (personally or as a team).
Said they could yet use some of the draft picks they traded for to improve the team this year, or not, or could end up trading them again next year. Said they will do whatever helps the team this year or represents value because they plan to be open for business here again next year!
Also reiterated for the umpteenth time that he expects Troy to be a part of the team. Said he fulfills a variety of rolls (bingo to BB) and what he brings continues to have value on this team.
LOL He is in rare form with this crew whom he obviously loves talking with. Said he did it all just to give them something to talk about! That was actually the driving reason behind the acquisition. And they say he has no sense of humor...
BB on WEEI!
