Mego and Turp react to the Ravens moving on from John Harbaugh, Trae Young's trade request, and Snoop Dogg on the mic during NBA action in the Arcand Fire.
Mego and Turp end the show revisiting the Patriots' chances this Sunday to advance against the Chargers. Is New England the better team and how much of a let down would a loss be? Then, John Harbaugh is out as Ravens' head coach and Snoop Dogg plays the role of NBA announcer included in the Arcand Fire.

With Mego and Turp in, some Celtics talk has to be included with the roll they're on thanks to Jaylen Brown. When the time comes for Jayson Tatum to make his return, will he be able to fit in to what Brown and the rest of the C's are doing? Then, in the New England Nightly News, a new bill is proposed to limit how much drivers can drive and travelers are stuck due to the Venezuelan conflict. And, all of the uncertainty from Stefon Diggs off the field plus the salary increase doesn't make him a slam dunk to return to the Patriots in 2026.

This current Celtics' stretch has Jaylen Brown's fingerprints all over it as he makes his MVP campaign. Brown has been the driving force using his own play style and Jayson Tatum should hopefully be able to fit in when he returns.
