Tedy Bruschi gives damning criticism of the Patriots. Does Kraft learn from his mistakes? Will Vrabel have too much power? Bill took all of the heat for the Patriots struggles when he was the coach, but last season’s disaster was on Kraft. What kind of assurances do we think Vrabel received when he was hired? The Patriots have the worst roster in the NFL. They need to get some stars. Next they get to They Said It- what did George Pickens say to the media? Should the Steelers fire their coach? Lamar compares Derrick Henry to the movie cars. Curtis recaps what he learned from all of his Red Sox interviews this weekend.

The Lead wraps up. Wiggy’s Lead – Mike Vrabel gives credibility for the Patriots to go out and get fresh young free agents. No more suck tax? Drake Maye also helps with that. Is Vrabel a run first guy? Greg speaks about women who have a backup to their husband. Does Courtney have a backup? She explains that she understands why some women have backups. Next, why was AJ Brown reading on the sidelines during his game?

The Lead continued: Curtis breaks a story from 2004 from David Ortiz. He took everyone out before game six in Queens and called his shot. What a great guy! Courtney’s lead was about an ex Vrabel player explaining how great the new Patriots head coach was to him. At the end of the day, he cares about all of his players.

The crew reacts to the Mike Vrabel hiring from the weekend. The Patriots are finally on a good enough track. Vrabel knows how to win. Curtis does not know if he will be successful, but the Patriots are now the second best team in the AFC East. Vrabel will get rid of the nonsense and make the guys follow the rules. Wiggy offers a comparison between Parcells and Vrabel compared to Bill. Jerod Mayo’s wife tells all on social media. How much of a relationship does Mike Vrabel have with Greg?

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Sammy has a "Who Says No" proposal for Gordo and Pat that beefs up the back end of the Red Sox bullpen with a young established closer. Do the Athletics agree to send Mason Miller to the Sox and do the Sox part with Wilyer Abreu and two rotational pitchers? The response from the guys is a first and might not happen again. Also, the A's have had a specific need during this free agency that Sammy says fits perfectly with what the Sox offer despite it being a potential overpay. And, does Gordo break his idea of not giving long term deals to relievers with Miller?
