Mat and Nick

Hey, we're finally back! It's a quick one, but a lot still can be said for the recent move of Giancarlo Stanton to the Yankees and what it means for the Red Sox moving forward. How does the immediate World Series outlook bear for both clubs, and is there even a debate as to who is more situated for the long term? How much is Dave Dombrowski to blame, and is he just lying to us? What are the Red Sox next steps? The show ends briefly with Patriots discussion and a lack of concern for the upcoming opponent despite a horrendous game Monday night.

00:00 - 23:20 - Mat and Nick begin the show contemplating just how much longer the Celtics can continue their win streak. Does it tell you anything about the team and their chances of making a deep playoff run? Is it just too early to tell? The guys also discuss the development of Brown and Tatum. 23:20 - 49:15 - The show changes gears and focuses on the potential Giancarlo Stanton trade rumors. How realistic is it for the Red Sox to land him? Mat and Nick try to figure out what the Marlins would ask from the Sox and if it would be enough to outbid other teams. A few haunting alternatives surface as a result of missing out on Stanton... 49:15 - 57:12 - Lastly, the guys produce an in-depth analysis of Patriots-Broncos and attempt to keep it brief as to not waste your time. Chances are if you made it this far into the show, you can stop listening now.

00:00 - 32:38 - Mat and Nick open the show with a continuation of the Red Sox discussion last week regarding the coaching staff. Did the team make the right hires? Also, the guys dive into the free agent market and try to figure out what ideal moves the Sox can make. Surprisingly, a competent alternative to a Stanton trade is discovered through pointless rambling. 32:38 - 52:20 - The guys switch focus to the Celtics and how they've already achieved cult status from their amazing start to the season! Topics include who they'll beat in the NBA finals, If they'll extend their win streak to 80 in a row by season's end, and how many MVP's Kyrie can win. 52:20 - 1:06-11 - Lastly, football is discussed very briefly as the Patriots head to Denver to take on one of the worst offenses in the NFL, thanks in large part to a miserable quarterback. Will we get a game Sunday? No.
