The Challenge Ahead for Mike Vrabel With Khari Thompson. Plus, Should We Be Worried About the Celtics?

Brian discusses the reasons behind the Celtics’ current slump and whether the players are simply tired (1:00) before getting to some Red Sox thoughts following Fenway Fest (26:15). Then, Brian chats with Boston.com’s Khari Thompson about the Mike Vrabel hiring, potential offensive coordinator candidates, the ceiling for the franchise now with Vrabel and Drake Maye, and more (33:30). Brian and Jamie end with a few listener emails on the Patriots (1:03:35).
