He said close game all the way with a Pats score late to break it open. He doesn't trust Ben on the road.Close game = 14 point difference?

Red herring that lets him avoid having the debate. Why does it need to be a Chamberlain/Russell comparison at all?Mike is hyping Peyton's post season record. Beat Brady 3 out of 5 times in the AFCCG and two SB wins are pretty good. Not a Chamberlain/Russell comparison anymore.
Because it fits his narrative and involves two GOATs (inc one from Boston) from another sport who won championships.Red herring that lets him avoid having the debate. Why does it need to be a Chamberlain/Russell comparison at all?
Yep, he's been the champion of the Wilt/Russell comp for years.Because it fits his narrative. He realizes he's onto something: I heard him use the "it's not Wilt/Bill comparison" several different days this week.
Over achieving is just another way of saying you sucked in the first place?The injury-ravaged Pats had no business even reaching the AFC Championship Game back in the 2013 playoffs, yet that loss is going to be used against Brady? Haters gonna hate.
Mike conveniently ignores the fact that Brady handed leads to his defense in both Super Bowl losses and they blew both. I'm sure he will have excuses for the Steelers today and try to minimize the Pats making another Super Bowl. The fact that he holds Super Bowl losses against Brady and Belichick just shows the lengths he will go to in pursuit of furthering his stupid narrative. The Ernie Adams stuff is just demented. A caller pointed out the fact that Adams appeared on camera in the Do Your Job special and he told her that it wasn't true. No wonder he supported Trump. They both like alternative facts.And I'm guessing when it comes up, Peyton's losses are on the defense but Brady's aren't?
Joe Benigno is a die hard Jets fan. He is also friends with Belichick and has him on the show occasionally. He's a moron but his sad sack routine can be entertaining.Listening to the Fan this morning waiting for Francesa. The callers (and the hosts--Benigno and someone else) just seem resigned and defeated, like the only thing they have left to ponder is how long they'll have to wait until Belichick and Brady retire.
Pure Schadenfreude listening
He's Mike's bogeyman behind the scenes who organizes all the cheating.What is his issue with Ernie Adams?
He considers Ernie some sort of amalgam of Darth Maul, Keyser Soze, James Jesus Angleton, and Karl Rove.What is his issue with Ernie Adams?
Exactly. As someone pointed out earlier, he uses the term "black ops" when he talks about Adams. It's bizarre.He considers Ernie some sort of amalgam of Darth Maul, Keyser Soze, James Jesus Angleton, and Karl Rove.
"We STILL dont know what Ernie Adam's job even is!!!"
Coulda sworn I heard him tell a caller last week that they'd be cutting way back on it, but nothing about cancelling it completely.No Super Bowl trivia contest this year...couldn't find a sponsor
It broke through a little at the end with the "I'll be rooting for the Falcons" and using the word "unfortunately" when saying that the Pats have the better defense to go with the offense. He hats Belichick and Kraft so much that he just can't hold it in.
Very fair. I rarely if ever hear the Boston shows, but my impression of them matches what you said.At least he owns it. I'll take that -- and his sensible take on the games -- over the passive-aggressive lunatic takes of F&M, who offer nothing valuable in analyzing the game.
Just said that it still could happen, but they need to find a SB approved 'pass through sponsor' to hook up with (so it's not completely an issue of money).No Super Bowl trivia contest this year...couldn't find a sponsor
The fat man is reaching way down in the bowels of his brain to come up with that one.If Atl cannot put a pass rush on TB, they will not beat him.
And this is a challenge when you're hosting a 5.5 hour show. Eventually, they'll get to you, and he cannot help himself.Now he's being insufferable. Losing Super Bowls is worse than not getting there. Making 7 Super Bowls isn't that big of a deal. Belichick winning a fifth and becoming the first coach to do so, "if that matters to you", isn't that big of a deal. The hate is palpable.
