I was told that this is cambridge, massachusetts. What is this eagles country nonsense doing up here. The boss is from philly. [ laughter ] im from philly, too. Its hank im in cambridge massachusetts with Police Officer whitey, patriots no surprise there but my take is when the boss bleeds philly green has cunningham and reggie whites jerseys on the door it makes for real interoffice rivalry. Come on. Thin blue line the Cambridge Police department has a hard edge of eagles Green Running through it. His name is Branville Bard hes the commissioner and yeah, hes from philadelphia. Defense wins championships and until the Third Quarter when he gets planned. Bard took off the department in office after a nationwide Talent Search and so far he says smooth sailing. But now the patriots are in the super bowl again this time against his beloved eagles. Whats a guy to do . Represent, thats what. So when the eagles, um, won the nfc championship, i immediately the next day came in put the jersey up sort of as me throwing the gauntlet down knowing that the ribbing would increase. However, i wont take credit for the banner downstairs. I found out later on that someone put it up under the us a spiece that i put it. Other art appeared on headquarters walls including this masterpiece imploring the patriots to beat bads birds. That commissioner got some nerve, dont he . [ laughter ] got to be careful here. Officer whitey a local guy. Patriot season Ticket Holder he says from the outset commissioner bard has very clear about his loyalties and the question i asked him after i shook his hand was, hmm, are you a philadelphia sports fan . And he said, i am. And he said, im a diehard and thats not going to change because im here. And i said, you know what, i can totally respect that as a diehard patriots fan. I can respect that, because if i move somewhere else, this stuff wouldnt go away either. Both men say the rivalry remains fun at work while not seeping into the crime fighting. Like a lot of us commissioner bar doctors hasnt waiting for this super sunday for a long time. Hes got tickets. Hes going to the showdown. Lets hope for all of us that he gets to see his eagles dreams come true in person. Well all enjoy that. Im hank and thats my take.
