" And he will be calling the Bears and angles 3:15 central time kick off on fox Sunday afternoon Sam Rosen is -- hello Sam."

" I knew okay you got me -- since Wimbledon okay."

" Around the country kind of avoiding new but it got me."

" Have to say EUU actually unwittingly destroyed by Sam Rosen comedy bits. What happened we'll use started talking about your -- at Lambeau Field. -- It was crazy says something about how you'll like coming to these games because they have the bagel before the game yet and I bagel with cream cheeses safe and it ruined my whole bit of so Sam Rosen that the -- I'll take a pounded kind of tarnished his --"

" This song men in Green Bay goes to show you can get a decent thing going Green Bay well."

" That's when you buried the lead because really that's the national story has been -- good -- I played decent -- founded green bay of."

" Bad news was we drove up to the hotel Lee Westwood and into Cincinnati -- And right around the corner is a bruegger's bagels oh I know I can go for bagels tomorrow and Sunday morning."

" I think that's the key element. Williams days patent on the road when you go -- want to know you can get up and I have a night bagel and coffee --"

" love life and always have this debate she's from New Jersey and she insisted actually for whatever reason that the bagels in New Jersey are actually better. -- ones that are so famous in New York deficiency bagels are better."

" I don't know how that that would we -- we'd probably do great long and hard on that because I have to lose I have to lean toward the New York based goals. I don't know it's something in the water no -- what everything is that I would guy would favor the New York break."

" While you fight with a very good I'm tired of I don't know what it. Now you're you've been doing your homework for Bears and angles what stands out early on for what we should be thinking about looking for."

" My elementary problems for the Bengals could be could be a big concern for them. The other Brandon. Would everybody knows is these Cedric Benson's stories and I think that's very important part of this team. Not only because we have a former bear but because you -- leave. Top running backs in the league right now and the Bengals beat him to run well that he does I. You can go a long ways to for those angles when this team."

" What does -- have -- this year and if they don't even -- lesson against the Falcons puts him I'm sure you know we're very disappointing for Bears fans. The really big at a fairly decent job against good when he -- this year I mean I'm not saying you're gonna continue -- UC -- seems to be a continuing problem. But they've done a decent job better at. Better against the run that I thought they'd be coming out of camp."

" Well I think they've got a good rotation on the defensive line and -- certainly the guys that have stepped in the -- Nick Roach who's done a real good job. Hunter Hillenmeyer lose kuwaitis have been the fill in for Brian Urlacher that was important -- I think they've done a good job. The versatility of the linebackers -- the Bears have have you been very important they've been able plugging guys so that when guys have gotten hurt. Hello my went down roads closed and lose. The middle linebacker spot does a nice job of course planned to bring to bear I Jamal Williams has stepped in when they've needed -- I think the front seven. The rotation on the defensive line has been very effective for the Bears and I think that's the only way into. Helping them to shut down the big running back."

" When you do with these say we have these phone calls from coaches to prepare for games -- of the league mandates that coaches that share some information. But Bears coaches these get under Lovie Smith they really don't see anything to anybody -- more forthcoming with you because they have to be -- greeted teeth --"

" I think BR -- I really do I think part of it is because. We've been around. For several years they know does that familiar with us. They feel comfortable. Exchanging. Information. And I happen to be working with Tim Ryan who is -- five years Chicago Bears defensive lineman. I think he played in the league always. Total coaches -- Newsweek can. And I'll put them all beat and I think that's very important. Made just exchanging ideas Phil. -- is -- Film fanatic. He watches coach's film from the beginning no way to the end of the week and right up to game time you don't need to watching it on those computers so. I he can speak to what teams are doing the team's. Personnel hold. We're pleased that they have been there and I think coaches relate to that. And as I said before I think because love be knows me for a long time the years that I have been with -- I think when we get in the room when we talk about what's going on there's a certain. I hadn't I won't go so Far -- because they're not going to open up and trust me they weren't as good as their power another coach it. But at least okay they'll give us some information that they feel loose relevant and trust us knowing that don't will use -- in the proper way."

" When this is just a general question about broadcasting of the NFL. Is -- I don't know how long it takes you know sometimes it just happens but the chemistry. Did I think it's necessary between you would combine the guy who's analyzing the game with your is that that's a necessary can have a guy there that. Maybe you don't like maybe I don't think they have much of which is still have a little chemistry going on."

" I think you always want to be professional but I've always found that if you can build up for a player. -- Analyst -- goes a long way to make that comfortable broadcast. And night and go the pig goes through the personality of the individual. And the way they approach the game I know that. In this preparation is second to none I know that moment what everything and no matter what I throw at him he'll be able respond -- guys in an intelligent manner and relay the information to leave viewers. And I know that what do you I don't know on the microphone he's got the -- he knows when to give it back to me so there's -- our comfort level where there's talent -- there. And I think just being around being friends and talking over things and exchanging ideas. -- he respects my knee approach to broadcasting the game. And I certainly respect his knowledge in his approach and I think that chemistry. Does make for better broadcasts."

" We have a conversation with -- with our listeners often about the differences between national broadcasts and local broadcasts and how big because of the -- full length of power the involvement of the NFL. Fifty it's understandable that a national broadcast he's used to sell a product largely ended the 88 default is always going to -- kinder more positive. Been harsher and more critical and that's sort of maybe what our job is is is to counterbalance that a little bit. Before games he is there -- this feeling it easier for stuff off the year were you guys basically I think that guy can't play. Or or or that this -- because fitness coach and maybe and you hear the whispers that you hear this stuff for the hotel bar like this coach is a complete. -- would you ever tried to inform viewers of of something like that that you know but it may be difficult to say."

" Boy that's and that's -- tough one to lose to answer all the I'll say this we went into last week's game. We were in Oakland he had these goals. As the Oakland Raiders the week before we saw these -- spare parts of Tampa Bay Buccaneers and play a near perfect. Our offensive game and we had in our production meetings. -- actually had dinner Friday night no no at the beginning of our production me on Saturday and we said. There is no way that the Oakland Raiders can win this game. I think you're going to get squashed I don't what can we say about them that -- in any way positive I think he's going to. If they can be answered your question is you don't wanna go in pairing up. A team and just ripping the old -- stated that this team is awful. Dolan met the you don't belong in the league there they're just an embarrassment they got killed by the Giants last week. You're looking for something to say about the team and then if you let a game play out. And as it turned out last week. The Eagles stumbled the Raiders play their best game they've played inspired good defense and they wound up winning the games so have we come out. And ripped -- Raiders at the start of the game. Are we would -- because they were the ones of the little one on and played very well on the on the game and surprised everybody. I don't know I don't know. I think he's going to a national telecast. With the approach of let's see what these teams have. Let's try to find positives however you don't avoid saying negative things -- someone is playing badly he. You've got to pointed out and it's Tim Ryan's job as the analysts who say why are they playing badly and I think it's my job to. Let people know would do what's going on what I want I'm observing and the information that I have about players who. Might be underachieving or whatever. And and I think that all been combined into -- national telecast and the other thing I think that differs. From the local broadcasters that we have to go try to find a balance between two teams I think when you to a local broadcast. It's weighted towards one side obviously."

" No lasting if we're going to ask if we would talk a lot about chip Carey. -- speed is getting pounded by the critics for his workout on how the crate -- put you over the years in UK are. I mean does some guys they really do do your job as the crystal lake breeze so -- it. I mean how little we've been good you've -- bad do you it in the media attention as somebody write something about Sam Rosen -- Course several as a really blows."

" I have I would think yes I think we -- care I think overall sensitive to that. If you can't to a broadcast. Who believes the critics I think you have food to the broadcast your best of ability and there's certainly -- weren't doing a good job and applied bosses didn't like it and -- feet. Who didn't like it and -- there was a response that we get back to the critics as well I wouldn't have a job and I think that. And to my good fortune and I have good no treated very nicely by the critics down through the years tonight. I've been very lucky about that but I think it goes through. The hard work and preparation just like the players prepare for game. I've got to do my preparation and that comes out you and in the way of presenting information to the viewers and the way I call -- game. As far as how I see the excitement of the game and pointing out certain things and as we said before and our idea interact with -- I -- I've been lucky that way and I yum but I'm very fortunate and I appreciate that but. You have to go wind and dude got shot -- and you can't think about what is that one of the critics going to say someone like what to do. Others wanted to very subjective business of."

" And you're still doing Rangers hockey primarily I like I don't know I'm okay this is my 26. Season of doing the Rangers. Now let's look cool if you could give 11 sport the one game that was the work brings you more joy isn't hockey or football."

" Why did you want and -- night and I'm not good looking ahead."

" My comment on this. I love both but I really do."

" He is he gave me one game."

" You know I've I've never had the good fortune of doing most improved I'd love to I'd love to do that I've been several games seven of the Stanley Cup finals. And I can tell you -- Hunt for a whole. Second. Just being there. And the ultimate moment then capturing the moment of winning a Stanley Cup is unbelievable. Friday. -- somehow it is curable if ever guys can have committed to the Super Bowl I'd run in a heartbeat to do it."

" The first and foremost the TV show but I don't. All right so have we really appreciate your juvenile winners and -- Into the -- played okay. I don't mind the home black -- a couple good seasons and you know and who."

" You know your way I'm I'm always hopefully it'll be a Rangers black caucus. Stanley Cup final original six how good would that be."

" the problem is it's it's not that easy good decent bagel in Chicago believe it or not to like two places."

" You I don't know I had tend to disagree really it."

" Well there's there's NYC bagel because the guys from New York let the record show I'm from Chicago but I I try to think clear -- about a bagels. And there's a place and Dempster if you wanna get into club in Skokie it's called New York bagels and be ours are those the only two other officially recommended -- nothing about how do you feel somebody running game wherever the hell yeah we get somebody break into -- damn world is right it's not very broad and only wanna be a dozen bagels are."

" While he's got a call -- good that they got ready for. Leave on the field."

" It's. -- we really appreciate the vice president will be Watson on Sunday night. -- pleasure thank you Sam Rosen in the NFL on fox in the long time voice of New York Rangers hockey."

“…they woke up and they were playing the kind of football that Marvin Lewis wanted to play. The other thing that they did they have continued to bring in malcontents and troublemakers but somehow they're managing them now. Member all high draft picks wasted on the O'Dell Thurman of the world -- brooks is the world and and then tragically David Pollack who was a good kid from Georgia. They drafted in the first round they would it was a defensive end -- they try to make standup linebacker he had the neck injury and who lost a high first round pick there.
