As training camp wrapped up and preseason starting tonight what should you be watching for and a Top 5 Friday!

What is important to see out of the Patriots tonight in their first preseason game of the year?

Here is how the show looked today

HR 1 - The Roman Anthony Contract Hour

HR 2 - Pats defense + Maye won joint practice | Bradfo joins the show

HR 3 - Sam Kennedy gives Breslow's deadline props | What to expect at Pats preseason in 60 seconds

HR 4 - Pats Preseason watchlist | Smelling salts update | San Diego Guy revisited

Listen for all the details of the Roman Anthony extension.

Does the Roman Anthony contract extension prove the Red Sox are cheap? He will not become a free agent until he is in his 30s. This is one of those guys who you can see going really far in MLB. He came into the league exactly as advertised. For some that are celebrating this, are you trying to distract us from a terrible trade deadline? The guys break down the Red Sox front office decisions as a whole. We are still upset over the trade deadline, but the future is bright for Anthony and the Sox. There should be no outrage over this move.

Great attendance at the Roman Anthony press conference. Wonder why. John Henry cigar? What does the Red Sox future look like? Are they set for the next few years? We prefer what the Rangers and Dodgers are doing, but this could be a good move for the Sox. The sky is the limit. We hope it works out. Did Breslow break dance on the Devers trade?

Jayden Daniels v Drake Maye discussion. Who had the better joint practice? It seemed as though Drake Maye was more accustomed to throwing the ball downfield. Wiggy said Jones would run a slow 40 yard dash. How fast is Jones, really? He would rather be strong than fast, but he is naturally fast. There has been races before at WEEI. There has been beef. Wiggy was really upset with Jones about this. Keefe thinks Maye had a better day than Daniels at joint practice.

Bradfo joins the show and discusses the Roman Anthony contract. He is a guy who knows he is going to earn the money. These types of guys are the ones who are hard to find. After Mookie, the Sox had to be super aggressive. Outfield excess discussion. Who is in your outfield? Bradfo thinks all four could be included, but Abreu and Duran both have not had contract talks yet. What level of free agents are Duran and Abreu? Which free agents will the Sox go after this offseason? Bradfo specifies which prospects were offered to the Twins for Joe Ryan. Minnesota never said what it would take! Which prospects will be called up to help the bullpen?

John Henry alerted Roman Anthony via email about the contract extension. We want to see the email. Locking up their core is the Sox strategy. Will it work? Emulating the Atlanta Braves. They won a World Series. 2018 World Series team was very home grown. How much of a comparison is there? If the Red Sox ask you to a commercial, say no! There is some kind of curse there. ALSO, On the Clock, what to expect from Patriots preseason game 2, and some betting tips.

Who will play during Patriots preseason? Who needs the most reps? Who will be the most determined to impress the new coaching staff? Joe Milton talk. Is a “flant” a real word? Joe Milton discussion. Why did the Patriots trade him for almost nothing? Keeping Milton resulted in the offense splitting up into factions. Terribly managed last week of last season.
