This week, Spags is back, and the boys are talking about Greg Schiano leaving.  What that means for the Patriots moving forward, and whether or not some of the coaches they lost would still be here had they not hired him in the first place.  They also recap Pats Madness, and preview 4 OT prospects the Patriots could be interested in this month.  They finish by discussing the AAF folding and leaving all their players and staff out in the cold, and the Jets holding a ridiculous celebration just to unveil pretty ugly jerseys.
