You know keep in eleven games this year where it was Wes Welker did CC right before he broke out prior started as a major. He's actually get better answer than that well I think. And I thought it's better note here and obviously industries but. You know it -- -- -- -- -- -- injuries and stuff thought I think that they think the bill although Lucas I think the player that particular player on the offense. Wes Welker side of the Denver Broncos look for the national reaction to west out west. Well I think doctor -- about it and see what happens up front office you know I mean it was.

You wanna get that number one seed if you -- that -- with a three point lead -- -- right now. We finally have a NHL PA ratification. On realize that what do you think about the proposed realignment. I'm not the biggest they said. He didn't really tactic to go with assists for division alignment there were some more outside the box solutions because that. Especially when you have Detroit and Columbus going to be peace and that was something that was done this.
