Brian chats with three-time Super Bowl champion James White about the Patriots' disappointing loss to the lowly Commanders, the team’s subpar receiver corps, the dumb mistakes that cost the Pats, whether Mac Jones could be on a different team next season, and more (0:30). Then, Brian talks about Jayson Tatum’s great start to the season, and makes the case for why he may be the most complete player in the NBA (42:00).
