These guys won't stop talking.

And you can pretty much do it.

In perpetuity.

The sports hub.

The simulcast where we beam across New England and the country on NBC Sports, Boston, is brought to by Supercuts Real Smart Hair.

Now, Maz, I don't know if I have many strengths, but I do have one.

And I feel that it does set me apart in the sports commentary realm because for some reason, not enough people employ it. Now, just to back up one step. Yep. One of my strengths is not telling the future. I'm not smart enough. I'm not smart like you people. I can't tell who's going to win and who's going to lose. Who's going to be good? Who's going to be bad. Sometimes I have an idea. Sometimes I share it because I'm just not as smart as you people. I can't tell you that. Okay? So I try and avoid predictions on games. Sometimes again, I like a player. I don't like a player. You'll get some of that.

But for the most part, I'll just leave that to you because you people can tell the future.

What my strength is, and you'll know this because I've given you several tips just based on this one simple thing.

And my strength is this. The scoreboard. I can read the scoreboard. I can read history.

Yes, you can. And as we know, history tends to repeat. And history tends to inform generically about

what might happen and what will happen in a certain situation based on what's happened in the past.

And it's very simple.

And the best example I'll give you was recent.

I told you all offseason.

It was a core tenant of our offseason commentary was in the NFL how teams go from worse to first and how it happens all the time.

And the reasons why it happens all the time in easy schedule, a coaching change,

a good young quarterback.

Every year, 36 straight years, four teams that miss the playoffs, make it the next year.

And why can't that be the Patriots?

I pounded it into your head all offseason.

And once again, I was right.
