(12:37) The guys discuss Josh McDaniels saying he's "smitten" with Drake Maye. Zolak suggests McDaniels must be excited to work with him. Beetle says if the offense struggles, McDaniels should take all the blame and asks if the Patriots will have a top 10 offense this season.
(26:13) Zolak and Bertrand thank the fans who made the trip to Lucky Strike to see them and take more calls on the Joe Milton trade.

(36:45) The guys discuss the Bruins' 10-game losing streak and their current position with the 4th best odds for the #1 pick in the draft.
