I was thirstier after games, (Weis) did his best.
When I turned on the TV one day and saw he was the offensive coordinator for the Patriots, the first thing I thought was ... Charlie? Wow, maybe I should have known that since I'm in sports broadcasting. Of course, now I try to get tickets and can't, and he doesn't return phone calls.

He was one of the guys ... there was this perfect communication with him. When I heard he was getting this job, there was no doubt in my mind from a personality standpoint he was perfect for this job.
