And, early predictions for the Super Bowl matchup and winner in New Orleans.

HR1 - Travis is embroiled in the chaotic comments from Jahlani Tavai and Deatrich Wise and further illustrates why this should cause Jerod Mayo to be let go. Then, with Mayo potentially being out, Robert Kraft should give the new hire the keys to let them choose their own coaching staff AND general manager. And, draft position is on the line with Travis Hunter and a bevy of needs on the table.

Is confidence really the key to success in sports?

Travis is all fired up about Jerod Mayo and is ready to whack him away from the head coaching position. Why the Krafts need to rip the band aid off and fire Mayo to make room potentially for Mike Vrabel. Then, you can separate everything else that's bad around Mayo, but he brings nothing to the table that could indicate he's got to stick around. And, NESN's George Balekji joins Travis to look around the entire Boston sports scene including the lack of big moves from the Red Sox.

HR1 - Travis is back and is riding high on the Red Sox trading for Garrett Crochet. However, there is another arm on the market he believes the Sox should throw the bag at: Corbin Burnes. Also, what other moves can the Red Sox make in addition to Crochet to have a great offseason? And, if the Sox wanted Max Fried, then they'll have to pay much more to Burnes.

HR2 - Travis transitions over the Patriots coming off their bye week and has a wish list for what he wants to see in their last four games of the season. Then, Bill Belichick is going back to college, but the reason why he's going to UNC has everything to do with his son Steve. And, the NFL coaching openings (and openings to come) that are the most and least appealing.

HR3 - Travis is joined by his NESN co-host Ountae Campbell to talk all things NBA and the Celtics. Also, which teams in the East and the rest of league are actual challengers to the C's? And, NBA Cup predictions and where Jimmy Butler could get traded to.
