Brian starts by assessing the Patriots’ offseason thus far and how it stacks up with other notable Boston teams’ offseasons in recent years (0:30). Then, he chats with NESN’s Lou Merloni about the Red Sox taking two of three in the Bronx, Chris Sale’s injury, the Sox’s young starting pitchers, and more (22:30). Brian ends with some comparisons between the Nuggets and Celtics, and he reacts to the news that the Celtics are hiring Charles Lee as an assistant coach (55:25).
