Transcript

00:00I feel like that the what I find interesting today down here is that it feels like the Patriots are

00:05where the Red Sox have been which is the fan base has been for the Patriots it was like okay they'll

00:11spend this year okay well we got to get somebody around the rookie quarterback this year okay we'll

00:15trade for for this player and they've been let down so many times that they're just waiting and

00:21seeing to see what they do as opposed to being excited for its existence and I have to say I've

00:26been watching the Red Sox whatever the games are Saturday Sunday JetBlue it feels different last

00:32couple years we've been down here it was dead yeah completely dead and I feel like the Red Sox today

00:37are in a position where there's drama their talent they could be really good Aaron Boone

00:43talked yesterday when the Yankees game got postponed and he was commenting on how you know

00:49he hates that they're good but it's great for baseball I really think the Red Sox have the

00:54potential with the Bruins and Patriots being middling to get back to somewhere close to where

01:00they used to be in terms of a daily topic in Boston it's also interesting I've been down here

01:03since Thursday night and this is basically Boston down south when you walk around you

01:07see so many Patriots shirts you see so many Red Sox hats you see so many Celtics jerseys

01:12and you you start talking to people you know go Celtics go Pats whatever and years past everybody

01:18said oh the Red Sox oh the Red Sox this year nobody's talking about the Patriots people will

01:23talk about Celtics if they're wearing Celtic stuff right Bruins same thing but everybody is

01:27saying I think that this is the year that the Red Sox could turn it around and now I'm excited I'm

01:31back in on the Red Sox and so that's the biggest change that I've seen the optimism around going

01:36into this season whereas years past down here everybody's like yeah spring training yeah

01:41but it's all about and we'll see what we'll see what the Patriots all about adding talent
