HR 2 - Its a basketball hour as Christian gets into Jaylen Brown's comments that are still hung up on things of the past. Is Brown still somewhat being hung up a concern ahead of what will be "his" team this season. Then, Dan Greenberg of Barstool Sports joins the show to discuss Jaylen's comments and how different this offense will be from other Joe Mazzulla coached teams of the past. And, like it or not, Caitlin Clark is bringing eyeballs to the WNBA, but the over-protection from fans is reaching a new low.
Recent quotes from Jaylen Brown have him seemingly still hung up on him making sacrifices for winning and all the previous issues he may have had. Why being the Celtics' new number one option should be more exciting to Brown and are these comments concerning to fans?
Arcand chats with Barstool sports' Dan Greenberg about the recent Jaylen Brown quotes being something to keep an eye on, but not get hung up on and how this upcoming season will look nothing like a typical Joe Mazzulla offense.

(22:05) Thoughts on last night’s Home Run Derby and calls on everything the guys have talked about today. (31:24) Comments on the red-hot Red Sox and whether they should trade away highly rated prospects at the trade deadline.
HR 1 - A 10-game winning streak is how the Red Sox enter the All Star break and Christian seems to be bought in on how good the Sox can be; mainly because of the moves both during and before the season Craig Breslow made. Also, the Rays get close to finding a new owner and interesting comments from Jaylen Brown and Robert Kraft in the 6:30 Headlines. And, Damian Lillard being added to the Celtics on a cheap deal would be something fans should start to want for the 2027 playoff season.
SEGMENT - The guys react to a latest interview from Jaylen Brown where he seems to insinuate that he's not thrilled with his situation Boston. Ted explains why he hates that line of thinking from Brown.
HR2 - In today's Three Point Stance: Andy wants to see more nicknames in sports, Ted thinks Caitlin Clark is wildly disrespected in the WNBA, and Dan Bahl thinks the Red Sox need to get creative in order to land Twins SP Joe Ryan.
