Events we have participated in:
Last evening, September 13th, more than 50 patriots gathered in support of Neil DiCarlo at his Primary Election Party at the Quality Inn in Fishkill.
The mood was positive and uplifting as campaign volunteers, friends and advocates from 4 counties awaited the voting results.

It took more than hour to order a chicken sandwich at a New Jersey Chick-fil-A yesterday as hundreds of diners descended on the fast-food chain to show their support for the company's CEO — a vocal critic of gay marriage.
GOSHEN — Under a brilliant sun, on a grassy field sprinkled with fallen leaves and blown by a slight breeze, a battle raged in Goshen on Saturday morning.
With less than three weeks to go before the presidential election, nearly 100 people gathered in Village Square to protest a federal requirement that employer-based health plans cover certain preventive services for women, including contraceptives.
It's been a long and seemingly never-ending battle between the Obama administration and the Catholic Church. With most faith leaders still uncomfortable with the government's contraception mandate, the stalemate between the two parties hasn't improved much in recent weeks. On Thursday, in response to this ongoing fight and a perceived increase in threats against liberty for people of faith, the Church announced a new religious freedom campaign.

This month marked 2 years since Obamacare was signed into law, against the will of the American people.
On Friday, March 23rd, about 500 energized people stood together in Goshen, N.Y. against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services mandate (part of Obamacare). This law forces religious institutions to provide services that directly contradict the teachings of their faith and strips away 1st Amendment rights.

GOSHEN – Hundreds rallied in Goshen Friday as part of the nationwide Stand Up for Religious Freedom events on the second anniversary of the Obama Administration's health care program.
Organizers in Goshen maintained the rally and call for an end to mandated contraception and other mandates on women's productive rights violate the US Constitution.

On Saturday, September 10, 2011, The Orange County Gathering of Eagles (GoE) will be honored to present to Troop Member Diane (& Family) the Memorial Flag, in Honor/memory of her father: "US Army Private First Class, Jay Lewis Ellis" which will be flown over the GoE, on that day.

On July 12, 2011 4 brave individuals filed a lawsuit against the NY Board Of Elections, NY Republican, & NY Democratic Parties.
An injunction was filed on the same day which required all 62 counties in the state of NY to accept Petitions with the Committeeman title. The lawsuit and injunction could not have come at a better time. For example, on July 13 several Monroe Tea Party folks were denied their petitions because they had the "wrong title and the positions were already filled" according to Orange County Board of Elections Commissioners.
Read more at http://nycommitteemen.org/lawsuit/lawsuit.html. The paperwork is easy to understand and you'll begin to the see bigger picture on how important this case is. Please donate and visit the proceedings when possible.
The first hearing is scheduled for July 20th which looks to be interesting.

We had crockpot chili, Italian bread and cupcakes.
Mike will be missed (as both a friend and Troop member) as he has been a mainstay since "Day 1" and has been my backup and "goto " Troop member, as well! Mike has also served as the "Site Commander and Leader of the flag ceremonies which we conduct at flag raising and lowering."
Along with you folks, present were Diane, Everist, Doug and me. Bill and Sandy stopped by for a few minutes and we enjoyed their company.
Later, Joann and her two daughters dropped by as well.

Christmas Concert Classic Choral Society-free
December 18, 2010
Location: The First Presbyterian Church in Goshen
33 Park Place
Goshen, NY 10924
Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Music: This Christmastide, Christmas Day, Deo Gloria, Anniversary Carols, Hodie, O Holy Night, Issay, Issay!, I saw Three Ships, Christmas Lullaby, A Christmas Suite, Caroling, Caroling, A Traditional Sing-a-long too!
A wonderful review from Debbie:
Neil and I had a wonderful time at the concert. The atmosphere was so beautiful and festive. I was imagining the angels singing along in perfect harmony with you all!
I especially enjoyed the songs "Issay, Issay!", O Holy Night (always gives me the chills), and the Hallelujah Chorus. I loved how everyone stood up for the Hallelujah Chorus. The power in the Spirit of that song requires no less and I found myself tempted to sing along :).
I haven't sung all of those sing along selections in such a long time with a large group of people like that -- it made me want to teach my kids every one of them and then bring them out caroling around the neighborhood (maybe one year I'll actually get around to that... Lol!!) It brought me back to my high school / college chorus and days which I always looked forward to.
Thanks again for the invite and for taking the time to participate in such a memorable event!!! You looked stunning!
P.S. The West Point brass instruments at the end were a perfect touch!
Look at me -- I can't stop writing about it... Lol!! I also wanted to mention about how professional it was -- can't believe it was a free performance!!! What a great date night it made for us -- glad we left the kids with the babysitter so we could sit back and soak it all in.

The Lame Stream Media Covers The Carl Paladino Q & A
Lame stream News 12 covers the Carl Paladino Q & A in Middletown NY. A few hundred people come out to ask Carl the hard questions and News 12 shows the 15 protesters who show up across the street. This is an outrage! Then they say, "Carl says he stands for the people" and then they show his mugshot with a mugshot of Cuomo. They do not even show Carl answering the hard questions. The Lame stream media is so in the tank for Cuomo. It's time for the Tea Party to become their own media.
I say, "Call News 12 and tell them what you think." ~ C4F

Glenn Beck Show 40 Days and 40 Nights Pledge Airs Friday October 8, 2010
On Friday I received a call from a Fox associate with an invitation to attend the Glenn Beck show featuring the Glenn Beck 40 days and 40 nights pledge. I was able to put the invitation out to you here at C4F and 5 of us were given passes to the show. My husband John, our friend Linda G., Lisa and Scott D. and I were in the audience this evening.
Glenn was his usual emotional self as he remember the 8/28 Rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial . The audience was very small, maybe 24 people which made it even more exciting. When we entered the studio there was Glenn at his chalkboard. I couldn't believe it but none of us yelled out, " Hey Glenn."
Both Lisa and I got to speak to Glenn. I'm so glad that I didn't leave there without speaking to him. The show will air on Friday October 8, 2010. Please watch ...
No cameras were allowed in the Studio unfortunately and you know how John likes to take photos. But we would like to share a few photos from our walk on over to the Studio and outside of The Fox Studio. Glenn Beck 40 Days and 40 Nights Show

We want to give all of you that attended the Lazio debacle last night a huge THANK YOU!
We turned lemons into lemonade.
Many people who came to see and support Lazio were disgusted at his "no-show" and indicated they are fed up. They asked for Tea Party literature.
So, what could be seen as a loss for us was actually a gain. We will grow our ranks.
Mr. Lazio requested what we call a job interview with THE PEOPLE of O/S 912 and the community. He failed his job interview. Rule #1, you don't skip out on a job interview if you really want the job.
Thanks go out to Annie Rabbitt and Nancy Calhoun for speaking to the people.
All I can say for Mr. Lazio is:
Stop The Madness! Freedom From Tyranny Rally was a success because of you.

Thanks to our fellow patriots for coming out today for the "Kill the Bill" rally. We had patriots from Citizens4freedom, Orange/Sullivan 912, As a Mom, Let Freedom Ring, White Plains Tea Party and Kingston Tea Party. If we missed your group we are sorry. This event was well attended by 50+ patriots. Since we didn't have a permit the police shut us down early. LoHud News was there and interviewed some of the protesters.

Greetings Orange/Sullivan County NY 912 Patriots!
The following is a recap of our January Meetup and a call to ACTION!
Many of you like Randy and I have spent the last several months or year emotionally invested in the Tea Party /912 movement. Many of us marched with the 1.7 million other awesome Americans at DC for the 912 Rally. Many of you, like us, attended other rallies such as The House Call November 5, 2009, and the Operation Can You Hear Us Now in NYC December 2009. These events were wonderfully encouraging and energizing. For us, we took that energy, came back home and attempted to find others in our area that felt like us and wanted to continue working for a return to conservative values, including less government intrusion (primarily the resistance of the HC Bill), fiscal responsibility, and the encouragement of competition and business opportunities.
Fortunate for us, we found the Orange County NY 912 Meetup! We have had two great Meetups, December with 17 in attendance and January with 21. We continue to meet more like minded patriots from our area and the group is growing.
At our January 31 Meetup we discussed the name change from Orange to Orange/Sullivan to include a broader area of patriots. We live right on the border of Orange and Sullivan in Bloomingburg. We live in Sullivan County but we do most of our business in Orange County.
Recently, it became apparent the Eldred Preserve Glenn Beck Meetup was without an organizer. We reached out to the Eldred Preserve and invited them to join us at our Meetup. Many members of the Eldred Preserve attended our January 31 Meetup and we were thrilled to have them. If you have not joined us at Orange/Sullivan County NY 912 Meetup we encourage you to do so and invite your friends to join us too. Our goal is to offer our members a place to network, keep informed and become active in local, state and national events.
One way to do this is to register with Jennie and John at their website www.citizens4freedom.com Jennie and John are offering to help us get our message out on a larger scale in Orange and Sullivan Counties. They also post events and news from around the state and nation. Check out their site!
At our January Meetup we presented many opportunities open to us in the coming months. Some of these opportunities are the Blue Print for Change Conference February 15, April 15 Tax Day 2010 Rallies, and the Restoring Honor Rally at DC August 28, 2010. Check our calendar and message board for continuing details about each of these events. We highly recommend you attend the Blue Print for Change Conference. This will be a day of networking and education. There will be several great speakers and Q & A panel sessions that will answer many questions and help us set strategize for the future.
At our January Meetup we had the privilege of having Carl Svensson of the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) and a member of Orange/Sullivan County NY 912 speak to us about the political landscape of our state and counties. Carl is the immediate past chairman of the RLC for NY. We discussed the possibility of helping candidates George Phillips(R) running for Congress against Maurice Hinchey (D) in District 22 and John Carey, a young conservative Republican running against Eileen Gunther in the 98 Assembly district.

Religious Leaders Call for Civil Disobedience if Laws Don't Respect Faith
A formidable coalition of 150 Catholic, Orthodox and evangelical leaders are calling on Christians in a new manifesto to reject secular authority – and even engage in civil disobedience – if laws force them to accept abortion, same-sex marriage and other ideas that betray their religious beliefs.
On Friday, these leaders released a 4,700-word document – called the "The Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience."

Paladino said. "One of my first acts as Governor will be to work closely with the New York Attorney General to examine the issues and file or join appropriate litigation to stop Obamacare in its tracks." … "I agree with Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's position that Obamacare likely violates the Ninth and Tenth Amendments of the United States Constitution," … "I also believe House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's twisted parliamentary trick to 'deem and pass' the President's plan is vulnerable to constitutional challenge," … "Sadly, the political elite in Albany don't have the courage to stand up to Washington on this vital Constitutional issue."
Held at Gander Mountain in Middletown NY on February 6th.
Greetings Orange/Sullivan County NY 912 Meetup!
We want to thank everyone that sacrificed their time on a Saturday evening to come to the Meet and Greet for congressional candidate George Phillips, District 22. We had a wonderful time seeing everyone again and meeting new patriots!
While we waited for George to arrive we especially enjoyed hearing from all of you and how the sad state of the country has revived your love and activism for America. We had lots of laughs, moments of motivation (thank you Raquel!), passion (thank you Marcello!), and emotion (thank you guest John Ryan!). We thank everyone for sharing. Sorry we didn't make it around to the whole group. You will just have to join us at our next Meetup!!
George spent the better part of an hour detailing his platform and taking questions. George's platform consists of protecting our Constitution, reducing waste in Washington, and creating jobs. He opposes the stimulus package, is pro-life, pro- traditional marriage and family values, will fight for term limits, and opposes terrorist trials in NYS.
For those who were not able to make it last night see his website at http://phillips.mypoliticalsite.com/
for more information.
We had the privilege of spending some time with George and his assistants Scott and Chris after the Meet & Greet last night and we now know what we must do to help George with his bid for Congress representing District 22 of the Hudson Valley. We realize many of you in the Orange/Sullivan County NY 912 group are not in George's district so this message is for those that are. We will be sending out new information soon as to our next move with George. We are working on it and we will be calling on some of you to help!
John and I thank you for your support over this past year! God has taken a negative and made it a positive by bringing all of you into our lives. You are a blessing to us.
We hope that citizens4freedom is the Tea Party resource website of information on issues and events that you hoped it would be. God bless you.
God bless and restore our republic. Let's stand for freedom! ~ Jennie and John C4F
Here are a few encouraging words received from our registered users and co-patriots in the cause for the total restoration of our republic.
From our beginnings:
Congratulations and thank you to citizens4freedom.com on your first year anniversary. You provide an invaluable service to our community by informing and encouraging us to stand firm in the commitment to restore all that is great about America. ~ Linda and Howard Geissler
Congratulations to C4F founders John and Jennie Maney -- a.k.a. the Paul and Paula Revere of the 21st Century! Thanks for all your amazing work!! Keep it up! Love you guys! ~ Nancy Karp
When you think back to when you started all this, (thinking of a name for the site) to where you are today, that is something to be very proud of. I am really proud of what you have done. My family and I thank you. ~ Rob Aversa (donated C4F banner in the video) Thanks Rob
Along the way to victory:
We appreciate all your work and effort to help make our rallies and events successful. It is amazing what we have been able to accomplish in such a short period of time. We value your friendship and Tea Party relationship. ~ Randy and Sheryl Thomas
Citizens 4freedom has been our best source of information on all the important political events happening in the Hudson valley. I know this takes a lot of work but it is appreciated. This along with meetings, seminars and know the candidates meet and greet provided a free service that not even the Republican committees provide as thoroughly This didn't exist without the Tea Parties. You have changed the political climate and I believe will have a greater power and influence in the next years campaigns. KEEP IT UP. Thanks Linda & Edward Dubin.
JUST A WORD OF THANKS AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. I HAVE BEEN LED TO PRAY SPECIFICALY FOR YOU TWO AND YOUR MINISTRY... DOC Kovaly
Old friend and fellow patriot ( and you sing pretty good too ! ) ..God Bless you and your selfless work.I never imagined we would meet after 35 years ..You and your family have been my inspiration ..thank You for the encouragement and the ...friendship..Happy New Year...its going to be a tought one !
Kevin and Donna Cote"
THANK YOU for doing such important work. Be assured, that even on the days you don't get the response you hope for, even on the days enthusiasm ebbs, even if you are not told every single day, you ARE reaching people and you ARE making a difference. Please take your satisfaction in even the small victories and continue to have the faith that we will and we must prevail. We are battling for freedom and the freedom cry is being carried by each of us, even if its sound doesn't always reach you! ~ Brenda Bortz
Christ is Born - Glorify Him
Thomas Merton wrote "the Advent mystery is the beginning of the end of all in us that is not yet Christ." To be sure, there is much in me that is "not yet Christ." Yet, there is in Advent a promise of hope. The Church has provided a season for us to prepare our souls for the birth of Christ. It is a time for continuing the spiritual journey of transformation into Christ-likeness. As we become self-emptying, we are able to be filled with the Divine Life.
May your sacred pilgrimage to Bethlehem's Cave be blessed for your salvation.
May the birth of Jesus Christ bring you joy.

Sign Taxpayers petition on line
Carl Paladino running for Governor of NY secures enough petition signatures to create the Taxpayer Party Line. These petitions will be submitted and the line will be officially approved for the NY State ballot. There were over 30,000 petition signatures collected by the grassroots efforts of your average citizen who can make a difference in NY. I know many of you sacrificed time with your family and many nights and weekends to make this effort a success. We here at C4F included. We have made history in NY. citizens4freedom will give you the details as they are received from Primary Challenge. Primary Challenge had a lot to do with the success of this petition drive and we congratulate them, the Paladino Team and all of the grassroots citizens who helped Carl accomplish his goal.

Talib Kweli - Art Imitates Lif
Artist: Talib Kweli
Featuring: Black Thought , Rah Digga
Producer: Oh No
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 9 total votes )
Remember those old Gatorade commercials where female soccer star Mia Hamm would compete against Michael Jordan, while the song "Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)" played in the background? Consider Art Imitates Life, a new promo single from Talib Kweli, as hip-hop's version of that exact commercial. On the cut, released to iTunes on Friday, Kweli, Black Thought and Rah Digga, three established, well-respected veterans, square off against one another, looking to body the vintage Oh No production. Rounding out the record is Digga, who takes a much more aggressive tone than the two gentlemen, and with lines like, "Ice-T gave ya cliff notes/I ain't gotta dumb it down cause I read the book, made the movie and I edit this" she might have just pulled a Hamm and upstaged her friendly competition. Art Imitates Life is not slotted to appear on Prisoner Of Conscious, Talib's forthcoming album, set for release this spring, but if you need more from the BK mainstay, take a peek at the Fly Away (Re-Produced) EP available for free download via DJBooth.

SOHH Whatcha Think: Chrissy & Jim Jones New Reality TV Teaser, Jay-Z & Blue Ivy Hit The Yacht, Amber Rose & Wiz Khalifa Busted At Doctor's Office
Wednesday, Sep 5, 2012 11:28AM
Wishful Wednesday. It's a tale of couples today beginning with the inseparable Chrissy Lampkin and Jim Jones. Thought "Love & Hip-Hop" was much, wait 'til you see their new sneak peek. Then it's a couple made up of Jay-Z and his gorgeous daughter Blue Ivy Carter. Thought helicopters were enough, now peep 'em on a yacht. Speaking of babies, looks like Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa are getting their baby bump examined. All this coming up in SOHH Whatcha Think.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
1. Me & Mr. Jones
No matter how much fighting and hair-pulling went down in "Love & Hip-Hop," there was always one simple constant: Jim and Chrissy were in love. Sure, they may have had their little issues but at the end of the episode, Jim stood up for Chrissy and vice versa. Necole Bitchie has the inside scoop on their new reality show sneak peek:
The trailer for the new season has been released and it looks as though it will be full of emotions as Jim and Chrissy prepare for their wedding. Although Chrissy spent most of the last season of L&HH, putting pressure on Jimmy to get a ring, walk down that aisle and to start making babies, the script has somehow flipped. This time around, it's Jim that wants the family life and Chrissy who doesn't think she's ready for a kid or marriage. [She's even spotted packing her bags and on the way out the door in the trailer]. Meanwhile, Chrissy's good friend and 'L&HH' co-star Emily B will also star in the show as Chrissy's confidant who assists her with making sound decisions along the way. This could definitely get interesting. (Necole Bitche)
Uh oh. What would a VH1 reality show be without some drama? Turns out we are going to have some intensity in this new series, but from this opening teaser, will VH1 even have enough footage for an episode 2? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
2. Hovi's Baby
Is Jay-Z and Beyoncé up for adopting grown folks? I am sure there are plenty of us who would love to enjoy the life of luxury that Blue Ivy Carter has enjoyed since her birth in January. It was just a few days ago she was flying high in a helicopter but now she's sailing the shores? Media Take Out has the proof:
PROUD DAD!!! Jay Z Is Photo'd ON HIS YACHT . . . With Daughter BLUE CARTER!!! (Close Up Pics . . . Of HER FACE) September 05, 2012: After spening the last MONTH lounging in the Hamptons . .. Jay and Beyonce are now taking a REAL VACAY . . . on their Mediterranean yacht. The couple was spotted with Baby Blue - off the coast of GREECE!!! Blue looks EXACTLY like her dad in the face . . . only MUCH MUCH CUTER!!! (Media Take Out)
Blue's living the life and she doesn't even know it yet. Could there be a more precious baby that we don't mind seeing spoiled like this? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
3. L.A. Noire
Is there any real reason why Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa should be so much on the hush about having a child on the way? Technically we have yet to get confirmation on either one, and actually Wiz denied the rumor a few weeks back, but from what we've seen as of late it seems like a foregone conclusion that these two are destined to be parents soon. Bossip spotted these two going to the doctor:
Coupled Up: Wiz Khalifa And Amber Rose Go See The Doctor About Her Gut Full Of "Baby Cam" How about a lil pre-natal preciousness? Amber Rose and Wiz were snapped by the paps making a visit to a Century City medical building. Likely checking on that lil lump of lovin' we've seen so much of this last weekend. Forget about the bump though, is Wiz wearing Amber's pants? (Bossip)
Is it too early to start sending the #Congrats tweets to Amber and Wiz? If this isn't a real baby bump, could the former video model really be carrying a gut around the streets of Los Angeles? #SOHHWhatchaThink?

I'm assuming you read the title. By "big plays" I'm referring to runs of 20+ yards. The Cowboys were pretty average in that category last year and ended up ranked 15th in the NFL with 11. To give you a frame of reference, the Panthers led the league with 24 and the Giants finished 32nd with a grand total of 4. The highest ranked team that had a non-scrambling quarterback was the Raiders with 21.
Of course, the Cowboys run game really picked up steam after the first third of the season thanks to the emergence of Demarco Murray, the improved run blocking and the emergence of Tony Fiametta as a more than solid lead blocker.
So, what I want to do is look at all 11 plays, both individually and collectively, to get a better understanding of how the Cowboys come across the big play on the ground. It might get a bit lengthy but I decided to include a video for all 11 runs in case you lose interest.
A LOT more after the jump...
Traditionally, a writer would present the information and then draw conclusions but I've already seen these plays and I want you to know what to look at for so I'll put that part at the beginning. Just a few things I noticed:
- Demarco Murray and Felix Jones were the only two Cowboys with a run of 20+ yards, leaving out Phillip Tanner, Sammy Morris, and Tashard Choice.
- Only one 20+ run was from the gun, it was a draw. Ironically it was in the same game when Lesean McCoy was thrashing the Cowboys with that exact play.
- Say what you will about Marty B as a receiver but he's a good blocker. Overall, Martellus Bennett played just over 39% of the snaps in 2011 but he played close to 64% of the 20+ snaps and just about everyone was run on his side.
- There was a lead blocker on almost every single one of these runs, whether it be Fiametta from the fullback position or a lineman pulling.
- The amount of runs that started on the right of the center far outweighed those to the left.
- Blocking was phenomenal. The blocking only broke down on one play, which would lead to the conclusion that Felix Jones and Demarco Murray aren't very good at making something out of nothing.
- Felix Jones does well on counters and misdirection plays.
- Demarco Murray is more of a hit the hole right now guy.
- If you watch all the plays, you'll see the value of a really good fullback like Lawrence Vickers who blocked for a rushing attack that racked up a staggering 2,448 yards and 18 touchdowns in Houston.
Before we get to the individual plays, I've illustrated every formation that the Cowboys used to get the big play on the ground. Take note of the number because I'll refer back to those.
- Formation 1 was used on four of the 11 plays. The formation featured Marty B as a blocker. Is there a tight end on the roster who can fill that role on one of the team's best running formations?
- Formation 7 was used on two big run plays.
- Formation 1&7 accounted for 6 of the 11 big plays and both featured a fullback and Marty B.
- Formations 2-6 accounted for one big play each.
- Formation 5 is the only one with no tight end and it also accounted for Demarco Murray's 91 yard touchdown.
I'll put these in chronological order based on week.
Felix Jones, Week 2, 29 Yards, Formation 1
Borderline perfect blocking on the counter. Every backside blocker is dominating his man, Marty B is handling his man, and Tony Fiametta pops Ryan Kerrigan and Felix just has to worry about the safety 10 yards away. I promise you that any NFL back gets at least 10 on this play.
Felix Jones, Week 2, 40 Yards, Formation 1
This is the exact same play as the last one, just with the formation and direction flipped. Again, terrific backside blocking, Fiametta takes out two guys on the lead block and if you pay attention to Marty B, his block gets Felix an extra 30 yards.
Demarco Murray, Week 7, 91 Yards, Formation 5
Again, Hall of Fame type blocking. Everyone blocks there man and the Fiametta lead block on I think linebacker James Laurinaitis sprung him. Doug Free had such a good block on the back side end that I highlighted a second hole that would have got Murray at least 20 yards.
Demarco Murray, Week 7, 43 Yards, Formation 2
This is the first one that didn't have phenomenal blocking. Fiametta, the lead blocker, went outside left, and that's where the play was designed to go. Demarco Murray, however, saw the biggest cutback lane he'd seen in a while and used his instinct to pick up 43 yards. Absolutely great vision.
Demarco Murray, Week 8, 26 Yards, Formation 7
I can hear Vince Lombardi, "You get a seal here and a seal hear and you run through the alley." Tyron Smith and Tony Fiametta made Murray's job way too easy. The alley in the second picture is ridiculous. He wasn't breathed on until he was 20 yards down field.
Demarco Murray, Week 8, 20 Yards, Formation 6
I'll beg that you forgive my sloppy artwork on the picture. The squiggly line going over Tony Romo's face is the line that illustrates Montre Holland pulling from his left guard spot to where he has a lineman on the ground. That block, Phil Costa's block and Tyron and Kyle Kosier getting to the second level almost instantly allowed the big gain.
Demarco Murray, Week 9, 22 yards, Formation 2
I made a mistake on the picture. If you look, Phil Costa is holding steady with a lane on either side of him. In the picture I had Murray choosing the left lane since 6'4" 230 pound Cam Chancellor was sitting in the other lane. In actuality, Murray puts his foot in the ground and goes down the road less traveled, shakes off Chancellor's tackle attempt and ends up with a big gain.
Demarco Murray, Week 9, 32 Yards, Formation 7
Montre Holland pulling and Tony Fiametta on the lead block clear out space and make Murray's job easy. I'm not trying to be a Marty B fan or anything but you should watch the play again and watch Marty who is next to Tyron Smith. For a tight end this guy holds his ground really well. I can't believe I'm saying this but the guy is going to be hard to replace.
Demarco Murray, Week 10, 26 Yards, Formation 1
No picture because it was a broken play. Good effort. Watch it again and watch Marty B's backside block on the will backer. I took Marty B for granted.
Felix Jones, Week 14, 26 yards, Formation 3
Felix's counter step allows Phillips, Costa, and Holland time to pull and everyone gets their man on the ground. At this point in the season Felix had been stripped of his starting role and he was hitting the holes with purpose.
Felix Jones, Week 15, 38 Yards, Formation 4
Just too easy. I don't mean to beat a dead horse but watch Marty B do work on this play. He's lined up to Tyron Smith.
That's the last one. After watching them all again:
- Marty B is one of the best blocking tight ends in the NFL.
- The pulling Left guard was big. Can Nate Livings live up to that?
- They love running to the right. With Tyron on the left and Kosier gone, can they be as effective?
- Demarco Murray is a stud.
This took a lot of time and I'm thinking of doing one for the big pass plays in the future, but I don't want to waste my time if no one enjoys it. SO if you liked it, please recommend so that I know.

Minnesota Opera commissioned Doubt, which will feature a libretto by Shanley and music by Cuomo. The opera will premiere in 2013 as part of the company's 50th anniversary season.
Doubt received a ten-day workshop in early November as part of Opera Fusion: New Works, a collaboration with Cincinnati Opera and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.
Shanley also adapted and directed his 90-minute stage play for a 2008 film, which starred Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis. It received Academy Award nominations for Best Picture and Best Screenplay.
Doubt is set in a Bronx, NY, Catholic parish where Father Flynn is suspected by Sister Aloysius, the school's principal, of having an inappropriate relationship with one of his male students. The young boy's mother only complicates matters in her response to the allegations, thrusting Sister Aloysius into a conflicted dialogue about her own faith and the cost of the pursuit of truth.
Shanley has also penned Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, Defiance, Savage in Limbo and The Dreamer Examines His Pillow, as well as the Oscar-winning screenplay for "Moonstruck."
Cuomo composed the opening music for the HBO hit "Sex and the City." His works also include Arjuna's Dilemma, Only Breath, Kyrie and Black Diamond Express Train to Hell.

Will Knoxville miss the Sutherland apartments?
Jack Neely thinks maybe so, "just because of the sort of people who've lived there, and what they've done for the neighborhood."
Check out his Metro Pulse column here.
(On the other hand, Neely also points out that "They won't be missed for any architectural reason. Their style might be called Soviet Revival. I've had several friends who've lived there over the years. Some were relieved when they could leave them and get back to Pakistan.")

Pitti Weighs In on the Overcrowded Menswear Calendar-------
"We've offered so many olive branches," Dylan Jones, the editor in chief of British GQ, and chairman of the London Collections: Men, told WWD last week. "[The Italian organizers] seem to be intransigent and don't appear to be particularly interested in working with London, so we're just going to go ahead." His statement was in response to an ongoing scheduling conflict that the newly established London menswear shows, which will run from January 6 through 8, have with Florence's long-standing menswear fair, Pitti Immagine Uomo, whose eighty-fifth installment is set for January 7 through 10. In an interview with Style.com today, however, Pitti CEO Raffaello Napoleone and director of special events and projects Lapo Cianchi argue that they've been more than cooperative. "We have had very good conversations with [British Fashion Council chairman] Caroline Rush," offered Napoleone. "And we are totally open to finding a balance and solution to this situation."
The concern on both parties' ends is that, due to the current two-day overlap, editors and buyers will have to choose one fair over the other, and will miss key events in either city. Burberry, for instance, will present its Fall '14 menswear lineup at 2 p.m. in London on January 7. Meanwhile, Diesel Black Gold—Pitti 85′s guest brand—is meant to hold its Fall '14 show in Florence later that evening. Pitti's (rather opulent) answer this time around is to charter a plane and fly about fifty editors to Florence immediately following the Burberry show.
The problem ends up involving all four major menswear cities: If Pitti were pushed back to accommodate London, Milan and Paris would have to alter their calendars as well. According to Napoleone, the Pitti team proposed a fix, to which Milan and Paris are reportedly not opposed: London would always run from January 6 through 8, Pitti would begin on the 8th, Milan on the 12th, and so on. "We'd have to show on the weekend, which is not exactly what we feel would be best for our clients or exhibitors," expressed Napoleone, noting that while there would still be a one-day overlap, it was at least an improvement. "But as the French say, faute de mieux—if there are no other solutions, you have to accept it. The last time I was in London with Dylan and Caroline, I left them this very fair proposal, and we didn't receive any answer." As for why Pitti didn't just concede to start on January 8 this season, Napoleone said, "The seventh was decided with Milan and Paris two years ago, before the new London fashion week had started."
Napoleone insists that he has "no idea" what inspired Jones' comment. "Dylan Jones is a supporter of Pitti. He always attends," said Cianchi. "The real olive branch in this story is that every city is open to renouncing something. We are completely open," Napoleone added.
Peter Pilotto To Show At Pitti W-------
June's Pitti fairs got a little richer this morning: Pitti Immagine announced this morning that Peter Pilotto will be the womenswear guest designer at the tenth edition of Pitti W this June. "We were looking for a modern approach to feminine elegance that is constant, profound, and has the ability to think about itself," Pitti Immagine's Lapo Cianchi explains of the decision to select Peter Pilotto, designed by Pilotto and partner Christopher De Vos. The duo will show their pre-collection at the fair.

Kirk Minihane, Rob Bradford and Alex Speier are back once again with the Hot Stove Show, this week they talk to Red Sox GM Ben Cherington about offseason negotiations with players like David Ortiz and Cody Ross. They also talk with Scott Boras about the other side of free agency negotiations.
Transcript - will not be 100% accurate
As a hot stove show. -- and rob Bradford Alex -- all of WEEI dot com here until 8 o'clock. -- Sheraton Red Sox general manager would join us around 715. And after last week's pilot episode guys it tested pretty well the audience's noise they wanted was her romantic love interest for rob Bradford. -- -- -- -- A chemistry -- important eco complaints Boris in the movies so -- and super agent Scott Morse at 740 talk Ellsbury. Now represents you know much relief pitchers here Mattson. Soria the other guys will talk him ball bat or Sheraton and Boris here in Nextel will start with David Ortiz. The big story today rob. You wrote the other source telling you -- source familiar with negotiations. That appears likely David Ortiz Red Sox won't reach an agreement on the two year deal before the DH. -- is -- open market two days we -- here a week ago on the first episode seemed at the time. A certainty that he was going decided we -- probably thought by next -- here tonight as -- -- you'd be tied up whether it's not what -- Why -- tempered a little bit some people I was more certainty than others but. I think what happened is it you got the two years and you've got probably more money that he did last year but you can get the money that they wanted. And that remains a sticking point in now this could get settled in next what are we yet twenty hours or something Intel. The exclusive period runs out. But you know as of this afternoon that was the case that it didn't look like Ortiz was gonna probably be testing the free agent market in. And I think it all comes -- money. So just to clarify. What you say not get more money than last year you mean more in the offered the reds are on the -- he had no no not he does not too -- -- -- the problem is that is the fact is. They're probably looking -- say hey you know we made fourteen last year around fourteen. And 1457. -- exactly. And and so Lucy OK we made that last year. And so you can pay -- around that for two years in in the coming contract. Red Sox probably aren't viewing the same way -- last year why it was a two year deal was you know it was nowhere near probably one we're talking about this year. You know one of the fascinating wild cards to negotiating with their own free agents that we had kind of seen this coming maybe a little bit in the middle of the summer. Was the fact that arbitration is gone he used to be that a guy like Ortiz would have been able to say OK I made 14575. Last year. I'll make that or more with a one year deal in a worst case scenario. The next year but now. Our our -- -- -- it's going like now there's over what you're qualifying a thirteen point 313 point three million dollars is what you put on the table for a one year offer. -- David Ortiz is looking at this and saying. I had a better year when I was healthy yet that I did last year. And so if what if it's a one year deal their attacks and -- to take a pay cut and as a as a timetable he has to accept or decline. That offer of thirteen point three if we get to that point. Basically a week from now it's it's 1201. On Friday more next Friday in November and because really affect his veterans day we can plan it. Begs the question when you look at his Ortiz -- think I'm like last year's day. On May be that there's a two year deal with their for him somewhere else it's close -- -- -- Game and I've said this a bunch at times I think that the market is different and probably is. In -- -- just -- to talk to -- -- and about in a few minutes do they view it that way do they view this market this situation. Differently than last year because that was Darius in the hall. That they felt they could offer of arbitration -- feel like there was not a team is gonna come in. When we can go through some teams we can go through the lack of players in the market really. If you don't get Josh Hamilton if you don't want just him that he wanna get a free agent guy with power. The big drop off there right it's you know Napoli is maybe the next guy and a list so. So people screaming yell a -- Financial problems and not to get too heavily invested well some teams could view it as hey you know what. Economically this is a good play because instead of investing long term for a guy it would power you're investing two years on. A twenty million -- 120 million units thirty. Yes expertise very busy 37 year old November who played ninety games with -- you know not in significant injury I mean that's. To me when you talk what discipline maturity -- time and time again that press conference. Something that's a really screened us. But I don't I don't then I don't think that the discipline really falls under this whether you're saving four million dollars over a couple of years. Discipline is not giving a guy a four year deal way and you should give -- a two year deal six year deal he should give -- a three year -- That's -- to me that's what he's talking about. If the same way that they were willing to assume that they're willing to assume risks that are associated with one and two year deals you've seen that in the past when guys like. For and some that didn't work out John Smoltz Brad Penny Mike Cameron -- we've seen some of the work out very well with the likes of Adrian Beltre and you know like Marco Scutaro. It's just -- it's it it's a curious thing or does it mean obviously it seem -- -- and a week ago things have changed I just wonder we'll talk to turn him about it a way me. -- specific he'll be answering it. What is change because. It just seems like eight different situation than last -- you surprised because Ortiz was so good last year. And I don't feel there was out there -- is out there but now this happens this year you'd say he's probably more likely that in the normal world -- older. The injury to take it -- -- more but he friendly deal right we're talking -- -- If if it were if it were David Ortiz market -- vacuum he'd waited. It would perhaps be around the same even though we had a better year while he was healthy right right -- -- the same because he you know he put -- and -- nine games but. In a world in which the alternatives. Are less attractive and that's where you didn't do. -- changing certain with -- him when you look at the teams that are possibilities you can eliminate. Half for this in the National League teams decide if Ortiz to a two year 25. It's easy three yes three quarters of the team right at least right. So when you when you look at that mean. You to priestly circled three or 45 that are going to be in the next Walters. Yeah how poll wears on Monday Maloney today they ask that question and the billion names acumen minded team to came to mind Texas. The Yankees might be stretched just because they want -- the -- have the A-Rod prom again -- the G the via catered everything out but you know knows. And aimed at one name a wild card in this situation is Cleveland I think and I know that there are smaller market team. But after seems to be out the door right and end in Francona might be. Going to march a -- Chris Cincinnati -- you know what. This transcends -- presence transcends. What we're talking by the DH position or all the negatives. And maybe there's some value here beyond that except that Ortiz doesn't seem like you were monitored or teams it's going to be I don't know but if they're willing to pay and play for Terry Francona I'm not saying this is the likely scenario -- but we're bringing ups and -- credible alternative the Orioles were -- that report well how close do you think right now and I understand you you. Source code and use the execute them a couple of days. A close do you feel that these two sides are I think their I think their -- guessing armed and they're relatively close but relatively close -- Might be. He might want fourteen year and they might be offering eleven year. Mean it sounds fair right I found that -- you know like it's within the ballpark since last year they were kind of in the eighteen to 22 range of the Red Sox were offering him and this coming off of fourteen this is where it gets so tree it was the same reason why the arbitration case last it would have been fascinating. Because. There's so many arguments to be made for both sides is that not a cut and dried situation and and so when the reds are certain -- saying eleven. And that and Ortiz might be saying fourteen there's no like hey you know what we see your way I don't think they're gonna get to that point. Well we have phone number here you want it right now as you know screw your shirts forever and I mean all calls after that. Jerry to Red Sox general manager -- join -- here after this break we'll talk about the Ortiz. Cody Ross maybe the bullpen budget question press after a manager and Sheraton next on the hot stove show. Rob Bradford Turkmen and Alex -- Joining us now in the AT&T hotline AT&T forgy LT -- the general manager of the Boston Red Sox. And charge and van Kirk Robin out -- to see. Not too bad I guess first up is a story everyone around here's been talked about it's David Ortiz you have until 1201 AM Saturday. Talked him exclusively. Your thoughts on whether any deal would get down with him before and. Well it will work. The thought -- since the end of the Cesar. Good conversation there. Everyone knows that we let's keep them like I think is mutual interest and he's -- dialog boxes and he's he's. They apparently that some ground in some areas but. So lots of work there though. You're working our. It who get. -- You know we'll continue to work -- that remain hopeful that well there are reform. Then if I can follow up I'm curious what's different about talks with him this year you know in terms of the variables going into. What kind of deal you guys might be seeking both from your vantage point and from his. Well you know what is it a little bit in terms of the salute the rules as you know. Arbitration. Product the rules there is Alex's -- this year than last year so or portal for sure it -- well these -- sure. Traditional arbitration process -- all -- Darnell was last quarter. Essentially. Getting close to here and make it last where I think. Eric you know -- -- bucolic. What. That we know that -- that's different. -- and that is. Yeah we have a guy that are wrong -- -- important. Old war and more important salute. Yeah walking. Like -- and cynicism matters. You open source -- -- -- were awesome. You know the war and hopefully it's. Does the amount of money that you're able to clearing the in the Dodgers trade permit you greater latitude to pursue a multiyear deal -- might have been the case last year. Well it's you know that that plays or do you are the picture is that -- -- -- Offseason move forward. Well with Oakland terrace. The -- player. You change the rules for -- is. If the look at the whole thing. -- forty that we in her role as well it. Well wolf you -- earlier this year. You know getting used only lightly -- the -- Whether as well so. I get answers. Yes -- -- Secretary -- the entire architecture and processor. -- But the other guy -- keeping an eye on as Cody Ross. What's your take on where things stand -- that is as specific Susie QB I guess regarded as we head into tomorrow night. Well that. Our code you. Whose agent. Where does last year last quarter. And that Cody Ursula quarterback -- the ball -- off. For. Family. There. Are. Eventually later that you know actually earlier this year. Real strict you know there are things we talked about where. Or has put him in a situation. Where he is. In a better position and opted out last year if there's a law last year our alliances. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I was there or little so. It couldn't or wouldn't wouldn't. -- days. But it didn't work out for error in -- -- and at the end. And the right place for him right all our separate environments call that. The leaders that are there. This year or last year good for him. You know make create a bigger challenge for all transpire. The deal the orchestra. Work for us so you have talked about a lot. Arnold felt it go out you know -- Mark I. Certainly a lot of options. That we got away. What they decide they're -- -- the market. The. It is dark about environment with Cody in order of things that people -- when they're talking about his value the Red Sox is how well he. Was in this environment. Up and even in your time with the Red Sox may -- is this last year may be -- years beyond that have you guys changed how you view. How guys handle Boston. You know weigh in in the clubhouse media Excedrin. Yeah it also talked about but certainly we're. When things don't go well. And you're trying to return. They'll soon then. It back to where more of these. And -- in the towns of organ its errors. -- lowered his move forward. Is. Does become important when you're trying to get through. Is that really -- Is going to be. Processes of military and get their talent. Couldn't have great players and -- -- succeed. So long or are otherwise you know we're gonna. You know we're in these cases university. India is -- Yeah trying to build something it's not a straight line so reporters. Yeah two. Who are here. And role playing here. It is environment. You know it's. There's something there's something -- to -- in terms of guys like that -- help us get through. This talent this certain. -- in this case getting actors or V. So you know it is something we talked about. You know Cody. You know comparable here. -- lyric or at least. Will be a voters there is. It -- urban. You know what. -- -- You know we America circular Cisco Hewlett -- you earned. Or -- himself clear that this is. Certainly Americans. It filters. Red Sox general manager Ben Sheraton -- -- on the hot stove show in 937. Ban on Tuesday the White Sox declined their 2013 option -- Kevin you course I was wondering if you could envision a scenario where you -- comes back to Boston you have an opening potentially I guess at first base. Or if there's any reason why he wouldn't be user reserve potential roadblock. Well Miller. Shutting out the door to tell. An absolutely. Great -- in here in the open minded about. How to put it back together. He's. Part of the Nazis Atlantic it and you're considering all sorts of ulcers. At first citizens and another this. So you know no matter. We're or shut the door. Any potential players as soon as that that -- But I guess just a quick fault but when you goes left. There's not a situation where the BD be no problem bring him back you know attitude wise personality wise you're on board with him and that's. Either it is your players or well let our. Respect. Seven. You know create the first -- -- so a lot of options. This is the first. His career. You know since -- college. Before that first -- It -- -- choice about. Where plays and you know. Pre order and earned the right term they'll learn that it will come along very often so. I think I think you know he's he's got more control a situation that or. But you know leaders are -- where he plays and you know certainly on a personal level. You know certainly. Certainly nothing happened that was you know. So there was no great relationship -- but he Garrett is you know people have choices. And look sources and you know to lose curiosity -- -- Then I'm curious about one phrase that you've been using an awful lot which is the next great Red Sox team and what does that mean what do you envision when you refer to that is that you know in -- just permit from the standpoint of time frame both how near it is in what what that means in terms of sustainability. And what it might mean for this offseason. -- the -- get on base are between. Sort of little. Whose vote. Here. The -- Was secure. Is aggressive. -- the strikes. And yeah yeah yeah. And here. You know over the course of this policy crisis period. All year here. -- had. Along those. Qualities. And then it -- Those who still are also overnight -- boot record and you're always the way from from -- so. We feel like we have. Some of the pieces. It was necessary. To the actor. -- orbit Leo on our way. Our systems appear here these protectors. Regardless our system that we believe the most. We've got to selectively. Against you bring. Try to do all those -- You know really moved. There's over six. We don't know exactly. Where that next treatments that crystallized. A week ago at that hour or are not square foot and your security. Or film or lose. Creative director. -- there. I think that was. Is. In Boston right now you know. November now put their food. -- a look at for. So for directions. Or. Clear. -- it will turn services is -- -- there. I think you know and the Boston personality. I understand that. The very little in the if I happen overnight but they happened. There a common culture you know is to assist the development. Little that a lot. Consultations. With regards to building to building for the 2013 season. How do you approach the rotation differently this year than last last year you mentioned at the start of the off season you had three pieces. That you were able to rely upon you know that you do you view this kind of foundational and then it was a matter of rounding it out. This year you've identified four guys in Lester Buchholz Lackey to bronze who can work going forward. How do you approach the rotation for 2013 and then towards that end of the next great Red Sox team effort. Oh and would like at the rotation. To create your tree you know or both options. You know. You know it might look like at some of our external. Factors you mentioned. And like the fact. If at all possible. The younger our system you may not be. A vote on there too easily. These. Aren't really get their attention goes forward. So. It's a little bit of a little bit of that size salute that a suspect who moved at all. The younger core arm -- -- -- And then the bigger than the ball -- to -- their food is to work that are supposed. Lester buckles is -- In the best possible witnesses succeed. These. It's those. Our secure. Two quote there -- so. And that that can make a bigger difference in our rotations here. -- -- starters. Likely true. And this makes so. Every although the -- earlier certainly focus on opening atmosphere here is better. You'd talked about potentially outing from outside your position for the rotation. Are you how are you viewing the ball and heading into the offseason and do you are you prioritizing at all. Batting may be something someone who might be in days potentially even -- ninth inning guy already having obviously to as our Bailey annoyance in there. -- little bit more in areas where we have got some options. Some. Different look where you know the -- and ultimately left side. And it's. Fairly. Fairly. Glances as. Would not rule out adding that next. We feel like. You know that says that's essential in this -- -- -- be. Will be more selective. How. Or about this policy there -- so we'll wait for. Literate you know there is the right position herbal herbal. Well -- But there's there's some that -- in the -- and the amount is now -- There -- other. Certain common -- triple. Importantly there as well. We also have the the GM meetings coming up next weeks and ran a -- began erupting in Palm Springs. And numb. This serious looking back at last year's GM meetings didn't typically not a lot happens in terms of transactions but what do you remember about. Last year's GM meetings in terms of how it affected that team going forward. Fire rhetoric but first our pyramid were sort of perimeter that are so tour. Certainly a lot of time. -- over Milwaukee -- that there. I think it is for us is that there. And so you focus more attention on. Exploring. You know congress is and an agent. And something authorities started -- certainly in your hands. Revealed -- folks whoever has not earlier. In the business last buses that are of course who got. We've got. You know -- Are more holes -- -- this option or to do certain that an awful lot more though. Was -- conversation besides the managerial search last year. It was their conversation that you had a conversations you had in Milwaukee last year that you remember kind of pave the way to doing something. Player -- yeah. Yeah you know -- if there was direct. You know apartment I can't remember exactly all the conversations the Catholic area that -- that. Everything in life out there on the same place. He is that he has not -- an -- happens actually Japanese but. You -- -- those conversations that and other. There -- -- a little bit between those winter meeting. That's on it that way. The congress that started the year side order. Cooking oil is there more optimism saying you know come together as it. An Election Day party is going on at the win at the GM meetings. -- Unplanned but I remember remember the last several years ago -- didn't remember that met -- you know he. Election also. I hope we're looking for -- -- either so what we're able. Euro lots of weather returns slow or. I'll answer that is around -- you'll probably users. Since since Halloween in and read sites GM's go so well together what was the cost him last night. -- uproot her you know collar church. They're not regulated there really not. Yet three envelopes to meet you want to ground -- and -- -- -- it was. I thanks for your time -- appreciated apparently spent. Many of the envelopes in regards -- that it doesn't Red Sox chairman debenture and China to join us here. A quick break and we'll have Scott Boris joining us after the break I'm -- Let's go show Kirk Manningham out spear rob Bradford here in 937 WB -- ventured in Red Sox chairman just join us and other guests here right now in the eighteen to outline. -- -- -- -- Stop Boris. Scott rob out to Kirk and Boston are you season. About. It's got Harry's got. Guys are my our first question would be the L feel mark how you look at obviously with. Ellsbury is a -- viewers how's it shaping up here next year two's Ellsbury -- heads in the free agency year potentially in the the year plus. Well I think here. You know what you're talking about players you're going to be in the market one there. You know. Fall league players that are played premiere positions that are. There you're younger. There's not going to be many here we are in this. This process where you and you've got a huge killers yeah yeah. -- liquor available that are guys that are gonna give you. -- lead -- or some power there might be a couple up the board. All. As far as corner outfielders. I think that. The market I wouldn't say that there -- or an elite young player that's available all. Horse so. We're really over the next you know couple years he strip via the relatives small. -- people. Are going to be -- election year. Let's just. For argument sake sales -- free agent -- this season's gone after last season was injured. And we came back result as productive as he was the year before what what kind of ballpark figure would you be looking for for Ellsbury worry coming -- here's a free agent. I know a lot of guys I don't really talk about values orders all. We talked a bit on Kirk and the other guy here so you we talk about privately if you. Well I don't do that I reserve that the general managers myself. Yeah I'd rather extensive dialogue about it it's those kind of things or done. Negotiating player Richard hunt for the whole -- let everybody up that's. Scott you're obviously based in Southern California that being the case you're very close to it when the Dodgers and Red Sox. Such enacted that huge trade during the middle of this year. I'm curious from your vantage point what your thoughts when you saw that trade going down to the Red Sox were. You know were making this huge trade in order to achieve financial flexibility into. Really changed drastically the complexion of their team. And as a as a corollary to that. You know that trade was made with the idea of by the Red Sox of achieving. Financial flexibility both they and the Yankees have talked about that as well as getting under the luxury tax threshold what are your thoughts on you know kind of -- big northeast. Financial heavyweights wanting to get under the luxury tax threshold. -- -- McGwire should argue. We're gonna be having each team gets 25 million dollar more double what they got this sport and the national package. We're having an increase. In the billions of franchise. No 718 what little while. The markets. LA and Chicago roots that we have. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- We've just seen a rapid growth economically and I think -- the markets world. -- in those that support the team that level while waiting television ratings. Regional networks. With attendance at the ballpark that you're talking about. Valuations and go on 750 million to. Two point do you rebuild and so. The wish to increase in revenues. Both manually and franchise. I think the standard serving. -- the commitment on the part of those teams to feel all perennial. Competitive clubs. That the chances. You know that you won't have so. Any. I think any reference to what I call the Goliath actually it's frankly. The bitterness issue when it comes to what. Revenues which franchise that I go to each day. And that it is expected -- part of the system that that there are teams that are making four 6700. -- already eight. Hours that they would be spending having a role that. You know we'd be in the mid two hundreds two allowed to have the appropriate number superstars that increased ratings bit. Productive for them to grow their cheap as they have the 2000 they would. In the -- in the decade of the 2010. That being the case where you surprised when. When the Red Sox enacted that trade to essentially. Remove some of their their three biggest salaries -- on the books. You know -- what was what was your initial reaction to that or were you surprised that they didn't just take the approach. Are we should we should answer are are our roster problems by spending more. Well I think that there are -- a lot of that what steps out and discussions. The benefits detriment should trade. A bit harder aren't going to be a bit. I think the red trucks that are very good job and they they. Policies are very valued player. That exceeded ideal certainly her picture for the Dodgers. And I bet you know his value and we go forward and the production he's had particularly in the NL west. -- early -- is gonna be considered a player is valued at this compensation consultants. -- -- truth to achieve. All as to do. You know the -- that any deal there's always packaging war. Other parts of the trader a little bit more. All the concern but that's what trades are made lecture and when you look at shortly shut -- -- the Red Sox the hard part is the and going out and getting. -- -- -- -- back. You abuse both power and are based exchange. And run production. Government cabin crew chief for Boston's success and hope for. And 071. You -- -- those deficiencies with the talent available it's great to be at the cultural. These guys you have some new represents them -- entrusting our relief pitchers on the market right now Ryan -- being one of them. How do you view the relief market. Heading into this offseason and is it any different. That that -- has been the last couple years. Well I think when you go down and keep looking at chains all of there's always been the history particularly a lot of literature at all badgers about. No word we're going to. Not invests. Heavily in the back in the bullpen. And word and -- which side with. Our younger functions humor people along those lines and our strength and the and the dynamic. Are things that are you know you know -- extract from the minor leagues. Let the human dynamic that psychology aspect of the you don't know actual players or rather the nature. And one UCL you'll understand that. In the war for the ball or whatever -- -- look at the human dynamic is not brought to light in any of those. And I'm I'm not a big. Believer in war and because of that because it has been innings component which -- You know obviously or flash reality began emerging between. We can sit there and watched the giants win because the blue coat. Or a guy who's been around a very attractive closer Romo. And income level and orange is way in the big leagues get some experience he committed. And war and close again at all out -- while all on the other side of the game. -- you can look at me sale -- it the wasn't rocket Soriano I don't I don't mean any team that leads. Beleaguered -- shape as you can look at do workshops this year in these early Angel you're just gonna have a difficult time when. And so. To suggest that our strength which measured the minor leagues are even. The other aspect of the white durability. When you have guys that can close and very durable an up close. Yeah it really possible to achieve what did you may have fifteen if you file save opportunities. Out in the post nasal. I think there and we're rarity and having people that can. Put together seasons with 35 saves and an -- postseason. -- are so important we show the necessary experience there and it you don't have that I believe you're running a wrist wolf. Make -- very very good she is a either a non playoff team -- a team that doesn't allow you to actually your expectancy while. Another position question going for the gala tonight of both talking about this in the past is the second base market. You have to know obviously is a unique player around here you Pedroia who was up in a couple years and offer a little bit. How do you view the second base market. In terms of how teams are going to be value in the next couple years. -- you noted that action saying it when you have duality or you can get. Gold glove defense and then game. Middle of the lineup performance SATA the second basement. It puts you at a place where. -- -- You know when you look at. You know players like enjoy -- arc and no one day when they approach form at those levels they're achieved so they bite. Both ends of -- for me it ships. It just gives you a real advantage. It could almost. On average when you when you look at the performance second baseman disparity between. But -- I need to -- RBI 800 runs scored. What elements loop but what those -- second base in the game due to provide that they're just you know you get out of the numbers -- -- three. As opposed to the corner popular as it may be seventeen have a war of sorts that. -- it's something that really really Bible you treat the rare commodity. It's certainly a core relied up when you have one like. -- -- a crusher for me. I -- 5% of a -- is but it's a lot I you have to be giving out full candy bars following your -- -- board. You know let me tell you what we do how it goes in. The first thing we do in. Yeah you Qaeda Halloween is -- is -- bombshell date. Let me personally have to do little. The kids kind of checked out what else are going to they've mapped out they go though. If you don't if you don't get density that you don't. Recognize it -- almost lead in the neighborhood. You'd better vote you're doing it right because the kids already know where not to go slow reply to me and him. So it's it's pretty much. Well. Small -- for a good. Hi Scott thanks your time they Scott you about. Scott Boris. Venture into our guest tonight guys a couple minutes here anything jump out. Usually notable. Me one of those guys from the church and I think addressing. Starting pitching seeing these can potentially go externally define the starting pitchers are the headlines. Yeah I guess that that kind of rules out the idea of where at least it dampens the idea of a -- of -- is -- perhaps filling that that fifth starter spot. I'm so certainly a topic of -- that was in time problem. The -- of it done -- the Red Sox wouldn't rule out adding to the bullpen and it is. It is an interesting dynamic where you look at the final four teams in the playoffs they're closers -- who. Romo and -- Coke by the end for the tigers. Jason Mott who became a closer last year in the middle of the playoffs on the fly well. You know and we talked about we had that conversation before the show little bit. And both you led right into what Boris is saying which we say oh well look at who you end up -- World Series he would Ramallah united -- well. You know Scott Boris is saying well now it doesn't work that way right right that's not a blueprint it's that's for pupil which arguably is. Is true no team is giving Soriano fifteen I can't believe that some teams sort of -- if we don't believe that the Yankees were given three years and whatever 39 last time for a presuming yankees -- -- exposed they're gonna give him and another fifteen million dollar contract. Mean we didn't think the Phillies were going to give it all. Yet all this look at this this juxtapose it against apple bond contract Korea and at first of all we have to ask yourself who'd you rather have -- camera as Soriano palpable. I mean I almost I think I'd rather. Apple -- to speak as -- rather. He had over over its its -- outside it's close it's real all right so if his close then you're talking for years fifty. But the rules of the collected there their rules of free agency changed after Papelbon signed contract yeah like within a week we had in news deviate. It kind of almost made it is if the Phillies said whoops and he for -- -- Jumbo. -- -- -- -- when you start it's obviously a lot of its agenda driven and that's understands it and started as an agent. But it's interesting in terms of how he. Kind of surface is the the issues of the relief pitching for the second baseman or to my mind like the scarcity of the center field market -- right. You know there's a real dearth of those guys available if you look even over time he's he's right when he talks about. -- and Upton being the only guys out there who qualifies as being you know real legitimate and -- options on the free agent market. That drives the supply demand -- and it is viewed the first law we want to thank both these guys for coming on in Boris doesn't do a lot of radio interviews but what he does that the GM meetings in the winter meetings. Case you haven't go YouTube. Boris winter meetings and it's the phenomenon of ham apple these meetings is unbelievable. Because this is what the report -- look at all week or all week at all couple -- long. For him to make it apparent he stands and -- Lou everybody in the lobby for as long as it takes this one time with this -- report is to heparin with -- -- and the question. It's it's a very very strained. For non ideology that it be we're obviously -- -- guys salesman. I mean well obviously we go and that's -- -- our -- why don't I don't -- -- you know. -- understatement with him I guess that right ever on mr. Wright has an agenda to put clearly -- guys. Financial. -- and -- I think the thing that jumped out overall for me Sheraton starting pitching. And a ball and I'm trying to gain a -- -- said is a real grabber. Army with the -- -- in ross' situation I think it's clear that probably Cody Ross is gonna head to the to the to take offers in the free agent market discipline him setting an -- saying hey you know what he's earned this right so forth and so on and I like the fact Scott -- two and one way acknowledge -- that was -- and also that he gives helpful meal is definitely -- disturbance of a -- agreement can. And banks to bank charges job force or guess -- had a date tremendous producer mysteries in the -- job now. Alex fear rob Bradford Turkmen and signing off rob Bradford will be at the -- meeting next week. Yes is that correct yes that is right there at some point with the Alex now beer they -- to be. Determine what it is it a divorce and who knows maybe stick around find out and I fell Thursday night football Kansas City San Diego.
