Brian looks at the Celtics’ first-round pick, Creighton’s Baylor Scheierman, and how he can help the team in the short and long term (0:15). Then, he chats with Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed about the Patriots, and they both make some bold predictions about the upcoming season (20:45). Brian and Jamie then discuss the predictions and add a couple more (1:13:15).
