and rich.

Sounds like the biggest nightmare and why anyone would choose it, I don't know.

985, the Sports Hub. Hour number two of the program, Toucher and Rich for a Friday, John Wallach, Ted Johnson, Joe Murray here until 10 o'clock.

Still to come in later on this hour, Joe McDonald of the Worcester Telegram and Gazette.

And later on the program, Belcatchett, the Providence Journal and Brian Rob of Mass Live.

But since we do have Ted Johnson here before we talk Bruins and Red Sox and Patriots,

we really, or Bruins and Celtics and all the other stuff, we really should talk Patriots

with Ted.

And Ted Johnson, in case you did not know, and two summers ago, I did a show with Ted. And Ted said, I don't know, John, I don't like this Patriots team. I think they're going to finish seven and nine. And you know what happened? They finished seven and nine. And Ted was the only voice in the wilderness saying that they were going to finish under 500. Finish under 500.

Belichick teams don't do that.

And Ted Johnson hit it right on the nose.

And we worked another show during training camp last year.

And he said, I really like this team, John.

I like it a lot.

You know, even though they're going to have a rookie quarterback in Mac Jones, I like this

team. I think they're going to win 12 games. You remember saying this? I do remember saying that. And I said, Ted, you're out for a second straight year. I didn't learn my lesson. Previous year, I said you're out of your mind. And I said, you're crazy. This team isn't going to win 12 games. They're not going to go 12 and 5.

Middle of the season, people were talking about the Patriots

playing in the Super Bowl against Tampa Bay.

They won. 12 games. They're not going to go 12 and 5. Middle of the season, people were talking about the Patriots playing in the Super Bowl

against Tampa Bay. They wound up going 10 and 7. So your track record is pretty good.

And so here we are again. Training camp is what? A couple of weeks from now.
