Vinho: thanks so much for posting this. What a treat. Brings back a lot of great memories for me. I've always thought these two to be miles ahead of all the Boston guys and of Mike by himself. I put in a lot of hours listening to them back in the day. I also couldn't care less if they bash the Sox or any other team I care about. In my opinion the two of them together are just the best. Thanks again.
Mike running some serious revisionist history there. Troy Brown told him the story of that kickoff earlier this week and Mike didn't remember that he was out of the game at that point. His version of that story is exactly what Troy Brown told him.
When they used to actually watch the college games and teams they talked about.I have wonderful memories of driving to/from NY/CT and listening to their show. Absolutely the best during college basketball season
LMAO!That's why the Marlins are a better franchise than the Yankees.
His counter is that 'our society punishes Super Bowl losers.' He would say baseball/football comps are apples and oranges. Not saying it's right but he would dismiss this argument quickly and not give it much thought.That's why the Marlins are a better franchise than the Yankees.
To be fair, with the advent of one-and-done in college basketball, no one cares in NYC anymore. 30 years ago Georgetown- St. John's was the hottest ticket in town. Now St. John's gets less ink than the MLS teams, and the big national programs aren't followed much either.When they used to actually watch the college games and teams they talked about.
Uconn women got higher TV ratings on any in their against temple on SNY than the Knicks, nets and every men's game on espn family, cbs family and NBC family in NYC when they played that night. NYC cares about college basketball BUT the conference realignment stuff has generally deflated the interest in all college sports in the northeast. From Boston to D.C. It's way down. College sports are southeast, Midwest and Texas.

This is the easiest prediction in the history of ever.Appointment listening tomorrow.
Will the Sports Pope bend the knee to Belichick and Brady or will he go on an epic rant against the Falcons?
He'll say the game was over and then the Falcons blew it by passing on their last driveAppointment listening tomorrow.

This is scary accurate.This is the easiest prediction in the history of ever.
He'll begin by being complementary and gracious. By about 1:45, he'll start to emphasize that the 2 losses means that The Pats record is not as good as the Steelers or 49ers dynasties. Then - around 2:30 - he'll start in on cheating and the show will go downhill.
Yup. And he is going to be pissed about it.If I had to bet, I'd put money on him saying something like, “But let’s be honest, if the Falcons had just run the ball three times after getting the ball to the Pats 22, they kick a FG and the game is over, so the Pats got lucky there like they did when Carroll passed the ball in the Seattle game.”
This does seem to be the narrative this morning by a certain segment of people grasping at straws. Which means this will absolutely be Mike's take.Yup. And he is going to be pissed about it.
Narrative -- they were handed last 2 SB wins by coaching blunders

Side note: it's crazy how cynical you have to be to not be amazed by the past 15 years. But, this is the modern media, I guess.
