A Goose Egg at Gillette With James White. Plus, Caitlin Cooper Previews Celtics-Pacers IST.

Brian and James White break down another ugly Patriots loss, as they fall to the Chargers 6-0. They discuss Bailey Zappe’s first start of the season, why the offense couldn’t get anything going, the Patriots’ lack of weapons, the College Football Playoff, and more (0:30). Then, Brian chats with Caitlin Cooper of 'Basketball, She Wrote' about the upcoming Celtics-Pacers in-season tournament quarterfinal, Tyrese Haliburton’s impressive season, which Pacer will guard Jayson Tatum, and give out their game predictions (43:20). Finally, Brian and producer Jamie go over a tough day betting-wise, and look at the week ahead in Boston sports (1:15:25).
