Boston Bruins sign, then release Mitchell Miller / Patriots at the bye Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

The Boston Bruins have the best record in the NHL, it's their best start in franchise history, and we should be celebrating them. But instead, we reflect on the self-inflicted injury of signing controversial defenseman Mitchell Miller. Why would the Bruins put themselves in charge of changing him, why would the Bruins sign him, and why didn't they do enough to look into his background?
We also discuss the New England Patriots at the Midway point of the season, with a 5-4 record. The offensive line, and the offense in general, continues to be a problem, and What's holding Mac Jones back from having success in the red zone, after having such an encouraging rookie season?
----------
TIME STAMPS
2:58 Bruins sign then release Mitchell Miller
5:04The Bruins are so stupid for signing him
6:28 Mitch Miller was drafted in the fourth round by the Coyotes and all the other franchises in the NHL were contacted by Isaiah’s mother.
17:40 The Boston Bruins have an issue with race.
27:17 It’s time to fire Don Sweeney.
38:48 Defense wins the game for the Patriots.
48:04 How did Bailey Zappe do in the second half of Chicago?
51:56 Green Bay’s loss looks worse by the week.
1:09:18The AFC East standings.

Patriots upset the Jets, don't make a move at the NFL trade deadline while AFC East teams improve Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

YouTube version: https://youtu.be/8Xmndk8ZId4
The New England Patriots did what they do best last Sunday, they beat the New York Jets for the 13th straight game.
Mac Jones overcame a terrible day by the offensive line in his first whole start since returning from his ankle injury and being replaced by Bailey Zappe after 3 offensive series vs the Chicago Bears last week.
Bill Belichick moved into sole possession of 2nd place of wins of all time by an NFL head coach. While the New England offense repeatedly stalled as Mac faced the most pressure of his young career, however, Nick Folk was able to bail the Patriots out on the back of 5 field goals
We'll break down the victory and if there were more questions coming out of that game than answers.
Also, the NFL Trade Deadline came and went on Tuesday with the Patriots making no move, while The Jets, Bills, and Dolphins all added to their roster.
We discuss if that was a mistake or if it was right for the Patriots to stand pat.

18:09 Rhamondre Stevenson was the only offensive player to shine through in this game.
19:04 Patriots big money playmakers have been a complete bust
21:50 Mismanaging Jonnu Smith, Hunter Henry, and Kendrick Bourne.

Reaction to the Patriots and Celtics beatdown losses to Chicago Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

YouTube version: https://youtu.be/lgfarvPw_nw
A horrible week in Boston Sports, but a really great one for Chicago as the New England Patriots were crushed by the Chicago Bears 33-14 on Monday Night Football, and The Boston Celtics suffered their first loss of the season to the Chicago Bulls 120-102, in a game that saw head coach Joe Mazzola and Grant Williams ejected.
Was Mac Jones set up to fail in his return from an ankle injury, could Bailey Zappe simply be better? Where do the Patriots go from here after suffering one of the most embarrassing defeats in Bill Belichick's tenure as head coach?
Was it just a bad night for the Celtics, as they were embarrassed off the court Mondy night, or does it show what the Celtics' flaws really are especially with the loss of Robert Williams till Midseason?
