Jayson Tatum can't recruit and the Patriots are still Bad
Training camp is around the corner, and the Patriots are officially everyone’s favorite dark horse — but why? The boys dig into the hype, the Drake Maye preseason PR blitz, and why the offensive line still smells like a dead skunk in July. Then it's off to the parquet floor to break down the Celtics’ offseason — who’s in, who’s out, and who’s (emotionally) checked out. Tatum’s recruiting like he’s on Tinder, Jaylen Brown is spilling his soul to Celtics Blog, and someone on this show might owe an apology about Damian Lillard. (Spoiler: it’s not happening.)
Treveon Henderson still hasn’t signed — but does it even matter?
Drake Maye’s leading pre-camp workouts and leaking it everywhere — future face of the franchise or just a good PR team?
Quick Unit Check:
Offensive Line: Still hot trash
Wide Receivers: Still glorified gym teachers
Defense: Overrated (again)
QB Room: A giant shrug emoji
“The Patriots are everyone’s dark horse!” — the boys ask why exactly?
Rich re-evaluates his take on a Terry McLaurin trade. Was he wrong? (He won’t admit it either way.)
(Dr. Big Mac eats something on mic. Rich yells. Chief Bobby makes a fart noise.)
Was Rich wrong (again) about the Celtics landing Damian Lillard? Possibly.

Feels underappreciated
Feels stifled
Feels like Boston isn’t the place for Jaylen being Jaylen
The crew breaks down his quotes and what it means for his future.
Prediction Time:
Jaylen Brown gets exposed in 2025-26
Lillard-Tatum-Brown core falls short in 2026-27
Jaylen is gone in 2027-28 — and nobody’s shocked
Boston sports: the highs are high, the lows are emotional damage. See you next week for more pain.
