00:00but I think I did see Brandon Ayoub there last night on his way from Logan uh probably to Fox
00:07Bro stopped at the show Curtis I think Courtney wasn't actually going home she was heading to
00:12the rental car pickup at Logan where she spotted Brandon Ayoub I mean is it possible oh if they
00:18don't get him I'm gonna be so mad now I mean it appears to be between our beloved New England
00:24Patriots and the Cleveland Browns so I mean if you were what's a better place Fox Bro in between
00:33Boston and Providence or Cleveland if you were Brandon Ayoub would you choose Boston or Cleveland
00:39well I'm obviously biased to Boston being from it let's just look at it in the football world
00:45of how he's looking at it because Cleveland and Boston might be the same place to him is it he's
00:52looking at one team as a playoff team and the other one got a young quarterback who's not star
01:01and so I think you have to look at it like the way he potentially could be looking at it where
01:07you know one of the teams seems a it seems like they're a better team and it could be a better
01:13opportunity for him to be successful in the winning aspect of it earlier if if you are and
01:19it seems like there's a lot of smoke so there's probably fire if you're in the running then that
01:26says to me that you've overcome one obstacle which is Robert Kraft being willing to pay somebody 30
01:33million dollars a year that is a big one right there and we can agree this is not something
01:37Bill Belichick would have done he would not Curtis can we please what like five well you can't say
01:43Bill would do it Bill well you said things change that's what changed so Robert changed
01:49well but but can't have both you can't have it both Bill would have traded for a depressed asset
01:54like Randy Moss when he was with the Raiders or Wes Welker when he was with the Dolphins
01:58underutilized do you think Bill wanted to have DeAndre Hopkins on the football team
02:04um yes yes yes Curtis yes but either way he Robert Kraft wouldn't pay come on now right
02:10you can't have it both ways you can't grow Bill Belichick didn't pay receivers period
02:16he paid other people Randy Moss did he pay Randy Moss then he then he traded him what he wanted to
02:20raise I know so so you got you can't have the argument that it was Robert who was tight with
02:26spending because maybe he felt like Bill could make things happen and now say well this wouldn't
02:33happen if Bill was here because I think if Bill's here does Robert maybe go well you could figure it
02:41out with those other players our budget's not as high where now he knows he doesn't have Bill
02:46he has to spend well I think maybe if it is percolating over there it gives you somewhat
02:53of an explanation on why they have been unwilling to add something to Matthew Judon's contract so
03:02maybe they are saving money and maybe they are I am I'm praying to the the football gods that
03:10the Patriots are in and are going to land Brandon Ayuk it would be just an absolute
03:17a banger of a game changer Curtis you want to talk about parallels and back back-to-back years
03:23remember the feeling when we saw what DeAndre Hopkins went to the Titans for and we were sitting
03:28there we were we were up at um are the worst nacho place in the world in New Hampshire and
03:33that story that is the uh that's the margaritaville chain is that what it is no no the it's a Mexican
03:40margaritas margaritas right get a margarita skip the food yes um but the uh that that feeling we
03:48had where you had La Familia in the locker room with Judon posting and the way you felt after when
03:54you saw it was six million could be up to 10 whatever what is the deal gonna be is it gonna
03:59be a first round pick is it going to be a second round pick I really I don't care at this point no
04:06because you have an opportunity to get a guy that you can build around with your offense everybody
04:11says the wide receivers have been popping well now you get somebody to be the obvious number one
04:16everybody falls in place behind him it would be spectacular as far as I'm concerned if they want
04:21the lighthouse I would unscrew it and send that out to them as part of the deal right give send
04:27the lighthouse to the Niners I don't care right I do not care give them whatever they want yeah I
04:32think that's the in the and also if it turns out where I most people believe that we're gonna see
04:40Drake May at some point in time whether it's week six week seven week eight during the season it
04:46just makes things a lot easier for him when he does become the quarterback of this team because
04:52he'll have a legitimate number one to be able to help him get out of some jams you can text this
04:58show anytime this morning every single day on the Subaru of New England text line and a 508 text this
05:06morning which says that uh it is a great time to spend because you have Drake May on a rookie
05:14contract so if you are going to invest 30 million dollars in a player like Brandon Ayuk this is the
05:21time to do right because you know for the next three years even if he's good you wouldn't
05:25restructure his deal until after his third year and this is what the new NFL is it's like quarterbacks
05:30the receivers are a premium position which means you're not going to be able to get the best
05:36receivers in free agency every free agent I'm sorry every top level receiver will either remain
05:42with his team or be traded for a haul like you've seen with Steph Diggs like we've seen with Tyreek
05:48Hill Tyreek Hill Devontae Adams all these guys so this is the only way you're going to be able
05:53to get one especially when you don't have a hall of fame quarterback and this is why it's just a
05:58no-brainer to me for them to do
