Rich and Ken with Ted Johnson

In a dugout sit-down with NESN, Craig Breslow says the Red Sox's narratives could be cleared up by simple questions nobody asks, and nobody can figure out which question he means. Callers pile on with the stats he left out, and one shops for a new team to root for in October.

ESPN's Raiders reporter explains how Kirk Cousins and a versatile, attacking defense have Las Vegas at 3-1, and how often Tom Brady is actually around the team. Then the guys can't let go of Mark Davis' legendary conversion van, flip phone and Hooters wing nights.

Adam Schefter weighs in on the national media shrugging off the win in Buffalo, a season of officiating headlines, and how involved Tom Brady really is in building the Raiders. He also fields Lane Johnson and Guardian Cap questions before the guys hit him with the Drake Maye moon question.

Ted breaks down the old-school moves he's seen from Mike Vrabel, from jamming slot receivers at the line to signing a player straight out of Bills camp days before the game. He also tells the story of the Packers grilling him on the Patriots' red zone defense during a free-agent visit.

Cora was supposedly waiting on Dave Dombrowski and the Phillies job. Now he's sitting out 2027, so the guys debate Phillies vs. Yankees for him, react to Max Fried's baby news before the Yankees' elimination game, and look at how few Red Sox managers ever managed again.

Rich says nobody outside the studio picked the Patriots on Sunday, and now Albert Breer and the national crowd are explaining the win away. Kevin Byard admitted a second-to-last power ranking fired him up, and the guys say keep it coming.
