Podcasts about Wiggy

Hour 3 The issue of Jarren Duran as the starting Center Fielder and Cora sticking with this lineup has the gang scratching their heads. Wiggy is giving the kid some credit since Duran's main position used to be second base. A caller thinks Chaim and Cora are doing this to prepare for Xander's inevitable departure. Are injuries ever a good excuse? The Red Sox are riddled with them but that doesn't excuse the lack of depth in the roster and bullpen. Mac Jones stock was soaring going into camp with past Patriots staking 10 to 12 wins on the season. Has the past two weeks disproved this or is step up for the sophomore QB still in the cards?

Hour 2 The media buzz out of Patriots camp after their second full week is that Mac and the offense might be showing signs of regression from last season. Everyone knew the offense would be the focus of conversation with Bill not hiring an OC, but never did people imagine the QB situation would be hot button issue. Is it too early to hit the panic button? The crew thinks preseason assessments are fair game.

Hour 4 Matt Light joins us to talk all the latest Patriots training camp developments. We debut a new bit: Hot mic with Wiggy! It's a little behind the scenes look at the bizarre things Wiggy says during commercials! You don't want to miss this!

Hour 1 Major news out of the NFL this week with Deshaun Watson being suspended along with the owner of the Miami Dolphins, Stephen Ross, for tampering. Ross had communicated with Brady and Sean Peyton during the season about making a move to South Beach, breaking league policy. Should owners be kept to a similar standard as players? Or should the standard for players be reevaluated? Wiggy brings up the idea and believes players are being mistreated in how their accountability is approached.

Hour 4 Tiger got an outrageous offer between $700 million and $800 million to leave the PGA for the LIV Tour. In response, the PGA ponied up a little bit on their prize winnings. Will Tiger ever join or are somethings just bigger than Sports? There's been nothing but praise for Mac coming out of Foxborough but how much can we sink into the hype? Wiggy is weary but Courtney and Greg are willing to believe in a sophomore standout.  Additionally, the worst person possible took a stand with Deshaun Watson.

Hour 2 Courtney isn't happy about how the Red Sox handled the Vazquez trade. Cora told Christian he was "part of the Family" after allowing him to take BP despite the possibility of being traded. Is a emotionless Red Sox what we have to look forward to? Also, Wiggy weighs in on Patriots outlook after the first week of preseason camp. Wiggy isn't buying into rumors of a brand new look offense until he sees it. 

Hour 3 Greg and Wiggy get into it over the moves that Chaim is making at the deadline. Wiggy thinks he's acting rationally to build for the future while Greg is on the frontlines running the President of Baseball Ops out of town. Is it time to look for a regime change or stick it through to see these prospects mature. Was it bad business letting Vazquez go out on the field? It looked like Cora and the powers that be gave Vazquez a false sense of hope by allowing him to take BP after just telling him he could be traded. Is this how a World Series vet should be treated?

Hour 3 Wiggy heard grumblings that Jaylen was displeased with the Celtics front office that is leading many to believe these last trade offers to obtain KD might have been the last straw for Jaylen to remain in Boston once his contract is up. Is it fair for players to hold grudges against their employers?  Jared Weiss calls in to go over what Wiggy had shared on Twitter and the resulting article in The Athletic. Sam Kennedy made the claim that Cora and Chaim are the best manager-GM duo he's seen despite being around for Theo and Francona.

Hour 1-  With last night's loss, the Red Sox fall to last place in AL East. Reaction to last night's loss on Big Papi night. Sam Kennedy said the Red Sox are trying to get back into it yesterday on this show, is he just saying that or are the Sox actually trying to crawl back into this thing?  If the Red Sox aren't going to sign Xander Bogaerts, why not trade him?  Jaylen Brown denies Wiggy's report that he is going to opt out; Is Kanye really going to put pressure on Jaylen?  Today's leads. 

The Celtics are in the Kevin Durant game now. Did Wiggy saying Jaylen Brown wants to be the alpha start something?

Hour 3 No one believed him a few weeks ago but Wiggy might have been on to something saying Jaylen Brown is unhappy in Jayson Tatum's shadow. Ken says Brian Hoyer will be in uniform calling the plays for Mac Jones. How far can the Patriots get with no offensive or defensive coordinator?

Hour 2 There are reports that the Celtics offered Jaylen Brown and others for Kevin Durant! Is this a good move for the Celtics or will it blow up in their face like Kyrie? It's hot in Boston and people are starting to get aggravated by everything. 

Hour 3 Kyler Murray locked up $160 million guaranteed with some more to come to remain in Arizona with the Cardinals. This signing had Wiggy asking the gang if Mac Jones has similar thoughts on how much he can garner from Bill and Kraft. Will Mac be the first QB Bill is willing to pay, or will the BB have the ability to talk him down? Ken gives his thoughts on whether or not the Sox will be sellers, Wiggy wants to demolish Fenway to create urgency, and Greg predicts Xander will be traded or at the very least left out to dry at the end of the season.

Hour 2 The gang listens in on former Celtic and NBA champion, Glen Davis's, comments on Lebron and racism from the fan base here in Boston.

And once again Courtney and Wiggy have failed today's US history test.

Hour 1 Asante Samuel made comments that Tom should get more credit than Bill for the Patriots' success over the years. Wiggy claims that Asante is still slighted by Bill and that BB does so much more than what is seen on the turf. The gang has the Red Sox front office back despite critiquing them on how they spend their money. Is it fair to say John Henry doesn't care after four championships?
