My team of investigators has been hard at work to bring you inside information through wiretapping. Here’s a sampling of some of the conversations they’ve intercepted:
This first one was recorded before Donovan McNabb was traded:
Devaney: Hello?
<Unknown>: Bradford doesn’t want to play for you! You need to trade your pick!
Devaney: Who is this?
<Unknown>: Trust me! He wants to play for Shanahan! He won’t sign if you pick him!
Devaney: Adam..? Adam Schefter…? Is that you?

This one is from my South Bend office:
Clausen: Hello?
G.Tate: How’s it going Jimmy?
Clausen: Golden! S’up, dog! You know, I’m just chillaxin’ here, reading about all the #%& they’re saying about me on line and in the newspapers. Fools don’t know who they’re dealing with! You know I’m da bomb, and…
Beep!
Clausen: Wait a second, G… I’ve got another call… Yo! Jimmy C in the house!
Devaney: Um… is this Jimmy Clausen? Its Bill Devaney and Steve Spagnuolo from the Rams.
Clausen: Oh…. Hello Mr. Devaney... Mr. Spagnuolo. It certainly is a lovely day. I hope you are both well.

Here’s one from nearby Gainesville, Florida:
<Unknown>: Good morning. This is the Tim Tebow Foundation for Saving Third World Kittens from Illiteracy. How can I help you?
Kiper: Um… this is Mel Kiper. I’m looking for Tim Tebow.
<Unknown>: I’m sorry, Mr. Kiper, but Mr. Tebow is currently carving a shelter for homeless manatees from a slab of limestone. I can fit you in for a ten minute call between his 2:00 lecture on “why lying is bad” and his 3:00 seminar on “leadership through superior talent against weaker opponents.”
Kiper: Never mind.

And… finally, from my Oklahoma office (we were only able to tap one side of the phone line for this one):
Bradford: Hello? Yes, the shoulder is fine. Yes, I’m sure. Thanks.
Bradford: Hello? Oh, hello. Yes, of course its good to hear from you again. Yes, I’m certain. No pain at all. Yes, I’m positive.
Bradford: Hello? Yes, my doctor has cleared me medically. Yes… 100%. Yes, I’m sure!
Bradford: Hello? Look, how many times do I have to answer this question. Yes, I’m sure… the shoulder is fine! No pain at all! You have to stop calling me about this!!! Yes, I like talking to you too, but enough is enough. I don’t want to talk about the shoulder any more! Okay… okay… love you too, Mom.
