florio on weei now

http://v6.player.abacast.net/2099

think he started a bit ago, though, so not sure what's left

His article was very critical of Mort. I'm assuming hes saying the same thing on the air.

Who cares? Tanguay will ruin the interview anyway. After listening to Tanguay try to school Michael McCann about the law yesterday, I have no hope of there ever being a decent interview on WEEI with him on.

I don't need to listen to know Tanguay argued with Florio that the Krafts did apologize to Mort and it was Belichick's fault that Brady got the punishment he did because Belichick was the first person to mention Brady's name.

oh, maybe I missed it -- I think it's just this gary tanguay guy + some jerry

looool this tanguay is just like you guys say he is!!
what an ******* --- why do you guys listen to this dude?
is this the usual troll routine to get listeners, or do you think he believes this?

People don't listen to him. He's just been the beneficiary of summer vacation, a guy leaving weei and someone having an alcohol problem.

oh, these guys are filling in for dennis + callahan?

On top of his idiocy Tanguay is a terrible interviewer. I actually cringe and feel bad for how awkward the interviewees must feel.

Mike Florio just said that he requested the actual PSI numbers from the AFC Title game from the NFL on Super Bowl Sunday and was denied.

That tweet doesn't actually go far enough.

He said that he requested them "several times" from "different people" over the entire course of the five-hour pregame show.

We know now, of course, that they obviously had the actual numbers, and were perfectly fine with putting out the lie that they put out. Somewhere around that time, Florio smelled a rat and his coverage started to change. Good job outta him. I still am not a Florio fan ("Randy Moss will be cut before the season starts"), but good for him for being an actual reporter in a time where there are not that many.

He challenged McCann again? He did it a month ago too. It was aggravating listening to a clown with absolutely no background at all in law trying to argue with a lawyer who was brought on the show specifically to enlighten the listeners on the legal process.

It's sad that WEEI apparently feels that they need to bring in their own contrarians in order to compete with the two contrarians on the Sports Hub's afternoon show

Keeping Tanguay around as long as they have must be meeting some type of federal government quota about hiring and employing mentally-challenged people or something. It' the only reason I can come up with.

Florio indeed made the point that he requested the actual numbers from the NFL for the Super Bowl pregame show, but the NFL wouldn't give them in order to keep the Patriots in the dark.

Now that raises an interesting point. Hold onto that thought while I reintroduce something we've all talked about ad nauseous. Namely, that the NFL knew about the rumblings that the Patriots tamper with footballs, but:

(1) Didn't talk to the Patriots about it before the AFCCG and say, look, no funny stuff, and
(2) When they discovered McNally and the footballs were missing (and Anderson was "distraught"), still used those footballs instead of immediately removing them for retesting, and using the backup balls.

If the NFL is so concerned about the "integrity of the game", why weren't they concerned about *GETTING THESE THINGS RIGHT*? Why would they let the Patriots play the first half of the AFCCG with footballs that they had reason to believe might have been tampered with? And why would they let the Patriots swing in the wind leading up to the Super Bowl, which would have given the Seahawks an advantage, at least in terms of time and energy spent on game prep?

These things speak directly to the "integrity of the game", and in both cases the NFL chose courses of action that clearly went against it.

D&C ARE contrarians. they always have been and they are just as much garbage as tanguay. I remember when i was living in an area that got WEEI, driving to work i'd try and listen to d&c in the morning and it was awful.

His interviews are agenda driven. He doesn't want the interviewee to answer how they want, he wants them to back his points.

I almost never listen but I vaguely remember how in 2007, D&C would whine like babies about the Patriots running up the score and try to pepper Brady about it during their Monday interview.

Will you please stop with this? Stop asking perfectly logical questions that deserve real, truthful answers. Much more important to make assumptions to try and justify $5M being spent then lie the whole way to try and not make yourself look bad. And fail at that.

I want to know if Walt Anderson was significantly distraught and/or did he lose two pounds because he could not eat?

If you are following this whole saga it's surprising you're still asking all those whys.

They obviously wanted the Patriots to keep doing their stuff in order to hang themselves, to have more basis for this sting. The NFL has proved in this whole saga that they can create a story out of their asses if they want to. Totally out of nowhere. And if there's a little indicative of what they are planting even better.

Then I make my point, regarding your (1) idea. I still believe nothing happened but If there were really rumors about the Patriots doing some ball stuff I find hard to believe that that would have never been heard around Foxboro. So even though I despise Greg Bedard after this shame, he has a point when he says the Pats needs to stay out of the gray zone, I mean, far away. That's why I think Belichick was really totally unaware of those possible things because he would've known better that all the NFL wanted was a minimum issue to transform in something bigger than it is. Brady is so much a good guy that he must believe in a better world, BB on the other hand has a lot more street smarts than Tom, first because he is older and that comes with experience, second because he is a bad ass. BB knows he has a target painted in his back since spygate and this target gets larger every year because he owns this league coaching wise, GMing wise, and does stuff like getting to the AFCCG without 8 starters, win a game after trailing for 14 points twice making the other coach crazy in the process, gets in the head of another SB coach forcing them to play what he wants, win every trade he makes, etc. He knows he is not welcomed in this league with this current front office and would not tolerate the team staff doing things that would possibly be used against him.

I find surprising that Ted Wells totally cleared BB on this issue, he must have naked pictures from someone like Jake Bequette has his and told people to back the F off.

Yep.

It was the worst. no matter what the patriots did these two would complain about it.
