This sparks debate as Kadlick's offseason plans do not exactly align with Jones and Mego's.

Mego says it will be a two year minimum process.
Mego gives Sam Kennedy's radio appearances an F-
February 29, 2024 22:12 - 9 minutes - 9.1 MBIt is time for Triple Play! It is report card Thursday. Jerod Mayo received poor notes from Kadlick, Jones, and Mego for his media appearances, but Joe Mazzulla would make the honor roll for his!

Veteran QB pick'em: Jimmy G, Brissett, or Flacco?; Curran calls in
February 29, 2024 21:40 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MBHour 2 - Which veteran QB fits best for the Patriots? Jones wants Joe Flacco, Mego wants Brissett. It will be a mad dash for the QB starting job next season. A race for the ages, will the number three overall pick win the job in week one? Jones does not care, he just wants to see him at some point, Mego thinks it is a pointless compromise, either play him or don't. They can agree that Jimmy Garoppolo has no place on the Patriots roster. No storylines there!

February 29, 2024 20:55 - 13 minutes - 12.3 MBNBC Sports Boston's Tom E Curran joins the Jones and Mego show to discuss Jerod Mayo and his walk balk of "burn some cash" comments, the Patriots dire free agency needs, and the Patriots new weight room.

Jones wouldn't want a season of a veteran QB with a rookie on the bench
February 29, 2024 20:31 - 13 minutes - 12.5 MBMego thinks that Caleb Williams and Drake Maye are the two most league ready QBs in the draft. Because of his size, Jayden Daniels may not be as ready according to Mego. Jones says that if the rookie QB needs to sit a couple of weeks, fine. He should be playing in year one! He hates to get through another year and they play some veteran or bum at QB all season. It would be boring. He would want to know what we have!
Jones hates process, but Patriots are a work in progress right now
February 29, 2024 20:21 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MBHour 1 - Jones and Mego debate what kind of situation the Patriots are in exactly. They probably will not "burn cash" and go after big name free agents, especially when most of the big name WRs are off the board. The Patriots offseason plan is becoming clearer and clearer. Veteran QB + rookie QB. Jones wants it to be a competition for the rookie QB. Like when Mac had to compete with the ghost of Cam Newton. He could be talked into Joe Flacco starting weeks one and two and have the rookie go ...
Jerod Mayo has walked back his "burn some cash" comments... why?
February 29, 2024 19:28 - 13 minutes - 12.1 MBMayo walked those comments back! I kind of misspoke, he claims, but I was excited to see those numbers. Jones says that this is going to be a process… he hates that. Jerod would respond that acquiring free agents may work for one season, but not as a long term option. Words Jones hates the most: PROCESS. Mego says he misspoke. He's calling his boss big thunder and is so excited and happy. He knows what the potential to spend is, but he got in front of his skis. Behind closed doors, he admitt...

February 28, 2024 21:17 - 9 minutes - 9.1 MBJoe Mazzulla went on the record last night saying that the Celtics should be able to win without relying too much on threes.

February 28, 2024 20:55 - 18 minutes - 17.4 MBJones and Mego react to a recent report stating that Bill Belichick desired Jayden Daniels to be a member of whatever football team he was coaching. However, they speculate that he leaked this information simply because the Washington Commanders are locked in on Daniels at pick two. This means Drake Maye, the desired QB for Jones and Mego, should fall into the Patriots lap at three... if Kraft decides to hold onto the pick.
Jones and Mego are fed up with Henry and Kraft as owners
February 28, 2024 20:19 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MBHour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show, Jones and Mego break down the real cheapo owners of New England. Robert Kraft received a D- on his ownership NFLPA report card. He cares more about lighthouses than his own players. He has no family rooms, and no daycare. The Patriots are one of four NFL teams who does not offer either, which speaks to the owners cutting corners. The same could not be said about John Henry. Jones and Mego remark that Henry loves to spend to keep his ...

February 28, 2024 20:02 - 8 minutes - 7.66 MBAre the Red Sox a community service? Sam Kennedy wants you to think so! Are we supposed to believe they do not make any money on the Red Sox? Are you the BBC of baseball? Ownership must be doing this out of the kindness of their own hearts! Maybe John Henry doesn’t talk to the media because his wardrobe isn't nice enough.
The Patriots received atrocious grades on their NFLPA report card, who's to blame?
February 28, 2024 19:25 - 12 minutes - 11.5 MBJones and Mego would never dare to go home to their families with grades as bad as the Patriots received on their NFLPA report card. With grades this bad, Mego says the Patriots have to be reevaluated by a professional. Players should not be leaving college to come to worse facilities than in college. Players who come in from big colleges go to every team. This is a league wide survey. It is embarrassing for the Patriots to be in the same company as the Commanders. Patriots players would rat...

Most of the good WRs are off the free agency board... what now?
February 27, 2024 21:10 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MBOne of the biggest questions in this NFL offseason is where are the marquis wide receivers going to go next season? Well, the question has mostly been answered, Higgins has been franchised tagged, Mike Evans is probably going to re-sign with the Bucs, and the only name still out there and available is Calvin Ridley. The Patriots better have a plan to get a big name WR1 or else their new rookie QB who they take at three will have no one to throw to.

Patriots leaning towards a QB at three, Jones and Mego are happy
February 27, 2024 19:33 - 13 minutes - 12.2 MBJones and Mego have made it clear that they want Eliot Wolf and the Patriots to draft a QB at three in the upcoming NFL draft. Wolf spoke to the media and implied heavily that they will be taking a QB.
