Brian shares a couple of leftover thoughts as the Celtics get started with the preseason (1:00). Then, he chats with three-time Super Bowl champ Ted Johnson about the Patriots’ upcoming game against the 49ers, the ways opponents have been exposing the Pats on offense and defense, how the Pats can possibly have a shot against the Niners, game picks, and more (12:35). Then, Brian and Jamie give out their best bets for Week 4 (41:30).
