" Our program into -- following. Special."

" It's may have been paid for my notebook."

" Okay -- mulling you have you read the sports columns and a newspaper Brian Hanley. -- just got newspapers -- well maybe I'll take him out there. It's no. Because here comes the inside the."

" Somalia it's handling his Chicago Sports Radio SIX SEVENTY The Score it's time now for our reporter’s notebook -- has brought you by Menard save big money -- no hard."

" It's. Okay -- we kind of touched on the subject a little bit earlier but I find it fascinating that. That Thomas Jones. Former Bears running match you via the New York Jets. Our guys that that now has made a Pro Bowl. For the first time in his career after the after the and the Jets season again and that the failure to make the playoffs takes a toll on everybody -- And the Jets seemed to be right there and they seem to be one of the best teams in football and and they just melted down toward the end of the year. And a lot of that blame when I'm Brett Favre shoulders and we know it exists door. Reports linking -- Favre wasn't getting along with Eric Mangini Mangini ends up getting fired paid the ultimate price. For the failures of the New York Jets and and again when you're in New York. And you're the second team and the other guy just won a Super Bowl and you try to keep track trying to keep pace with them and you make all these moves injury in position and all the sudden. You if you get Brett Favre there with a league worst 22 interceptions. He still made the Pro Bowl my interest. Thomas Jones goes on -- radio station right after the season ends he says. We're a team we win together but at the same time if you can't turn the ball you can't turn the ball over and expect to win. Against Favre had three interceptions and the -- season ending loss to Miami. He says and the other day the three interceptions really hurt us I mean that's just reality. If I were to sit here and say oh man it's okay that's not reality I don't like it. I know I don't know anybody else on the team that likes it if somebody's not playing well they need to come out of the game. -- jeopardizing the whole team after having a bad day to me that's not fair to everyone else."

" Well here's here's my problem -- the Jets lose for the last five games Favre throws niners are optional two touchdowns in that span. You -- said this before that final before days after the last loss now. Mike Brown gets applauded when he says we suck OK we all stand up for sale finally someone said that would blow everyone in the stands insane. Someone finally -- instead of giving you the path of Wallace though things are fine and -- a tough loss for the guys have played hard and they know little doll that's all -- don't think our guys are working hard given an effort well I'm sorry you still suck. My question he was with with if with Urlacher. If he is totally frustrated with the system does he go to the coaches and say hey you know this system doesn't help me at all doesn't help the team. Or do you just feel good soldier keep your head down and should keep trying to work within the system they you don't believe and -- working anyway. Or do you."

" Trying to do that it in in professional football you're trained to be the good soldier needs to the other is this. Military type it didn't fire me into it they don't like anybody talking out of turn they monitor who's talked and Alou and that's. What's sad they don't want any anonymous quotes from anybody if someone has something to say. Have the guts to say everyone's while someone says something but for the most part it's very rare that you would see some pointers -- coming from from Thomas Jones let alone anyone else. Having said that. I think that there was a serious problem with Brett Favre there I think that Favre was just doing his own thing and it it blew up five man. And it and in the middle of that four -- did like he had he had three interceptions the last game I hit -- and so that was the game that was all they had to do is win one game that was a game where they they needed to take."

" Up at nine interceptions only two TDs going to get up today the that the point is. If Brian Urlacher certain guys have the right to stand up and say what they -- Believed it needs to be sent a may have at some role player or back up young you don't want to hear from you want to hear Larry Hughes Tony. I gotta get my minutes and go up there and go one for ninth. The driver -- Urlacher say something so suddenly stand up and take notice okay here's the other one I want to get a real quickly played this is unbelievable. If your Dominic franks is coach Oklahoma what do you think about this talk about Tim Tebow. You know set I really think he's only the would be probably the fourth best quarterback in our conference now this is a pretty much the on the eve of the championship game. I really think it's -- to prepare for those guys meaning guys like Colt McCoy and and Sam. Bradford all these guys do you really want that -- bulletin board material still come and play in the college level. And -- urban Meyer used that to his advantage yes and yes and yes they had defensive coordinator Brent venables says I think it was that this Oklahoma State's set defense coach. -- just young guy doesn't know any better doesn't watch enough tape I really mean that but I think he's going to bat for a lot of guys his respect for. We appreciate honesty for -- you can believe that does sooner nation was hoping that does he would have kept the small -- that this."

" and there's your answer as to why it's better to speak after the fact -- before the fact remaining you know it's Thomas Jones X amount to send the stuff he says before Brett Favre played in the last game. Q can you imagine what would have gone on a New York seven it's easier to talk about it after it's."

" Did you talk about her opponent that is your teammates yeah it is possible -- but your teammates as striking and exposed but it innocent talk about it while it's happening then really. Yeah Brett is Brett Favre coming back but just make sure I -- I highly highly doubt beginnings and I want to want to back into the Jets at this point this -- just goes yeah. Seems to be. An invitation to."
