Will Mike Vrabel win Coach of the Year in 2025? Travis Thomas and George Balekji kick off this episode diving into Vrabel’s potential to lead the Patriots to success, as he’s currently tied as a co-favorite for the award. Could Vrabel be the catalyst that brings New England back to greatness? How much improvement can we expect from the Patriots with Vrabel at the helm? The guys weigh in on whether you should bet on him for Coach of the Year and discuss other NFL head coaches who could challenge him for the title.

Next up, it’s What’s Trending? — 3 minutes on each hot topic, including the Chargers heading to São Paulo, Brazil, for the NFL's second-ever regular-season game in the country, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander parting ways with his agent to go solo. Then, get the lowdown on the new 2025 F1 car liveries and a look at the next big stars who might be on the move—like Tee Higgins, Myles Garrett, Deebo Samuel, and Cooper Kupp. Will any of them land with the Patriots? We break down the next-team odds and who might join New England.

Lastly, Travis and George are joined by Kasey Hudson to discuss Charlie McAvoy’s injury from the Four Nations tournament and what it means for the Bruins. Should the team be worried with the trade deadline approaching, or is this a minor setback? Plus, Andy Brickley weighs in on how McAvoy’s absence could affect the team’s play on NESN’s Hockey Hub.
