Here is how the show looked todayHR 1 - There are many potential solutions for Sox first base problemHR 2 - Celtics will thwart the "Little Knick Energy" in round twoHR 3 - Bill enters PR rehab | Did the Patriots get an A+ at the draft?HR 4 - Mego previews Celtics-Knicks | Fitzy's fantastic five
Mego joins the show from TD Garden. Reset on Sox first base problems. Fitzy's favorite number fives.
Bill Belichick is seeking some PR rehab. This is not a good look. Even SNL took a shot at them. This is quite the story. Apparently Jordon forced her way into the Dunkin commercial. Then there is the real estate empire... Uy. Does Bill call her honey? He does not seem to be a pet name guy. Hart hits a new low. As a short guy, he is above nothing. The Patriots had a really good draft. A home run, says Andy, and Fitzy agrees. There was one outlet that said the Patriots did not do so well... Rating the class on an athleticism scale, the Patriots ranked really high, but Mr. Irrelevant was determined to have been un-athletic. The new fantasy football rankings are out. The QB list is absolutely atrocious. Who are these morons? Caller says the Knicks have no chance against the Celtics. What would happen if the Celtics played the Warriors?Checking in on the former Bruins in the playoffs. Will the Bruins win the draft lottery? Hart speaks some Bruins optimism.

Three point stance: Hart wants people to shut up about Joe Milton. It does not matter. Fitzy makes the case for Adam Vinatieri over Edelman for the Pats hall of fame. Without him, there would be no Patriots dynasty. Dan says Devers at first base is not a good idea. Knicks vs Celtics preview. The Knicks are the rehearsal for the finals. Everyone is on the Boston bandwagon, even Stephen a Smith. Jrue Holiday appears to be back. Measuring up the Celtics’ stars vs the Knicks’ stars. Will Porzingis continue his slide? The Magic were better built to beat the Celtics, the Knicks are not ready. Clutch play discussion. Little Knick energy says Paul Pierce. The guys make their series predictions. Hart says this is a perfect matchup for the Celtics. Four games. That is it. Maybe the Celtics grow complacent and let the Knicks sneak up on them in a game, but no one sees them losing this series.

In the wake of one of the more disappointing starts of the season, he points out that the Sox are only two games out of first place. All this negativity swirling, two games out! Stiz has beef with tacos? Casas discussion. One of the worst injuries that is out there right now. It does not happen a lot. Big guy with a big rehab coming up for Casas. We cannot even fathom what he is thinking right now. Hart does not think he will ever be the same. The Sox need to bounce back immediately. The plans for the Red Sox start flooding in. Why did the Sox not have a backup plan themselves? More casas plans.

Saquon Barkley has more yards against a stacked box than any other defensive scheme. Bill Belichick has a theory as to why. If you miss him, he is going all the way to the house. Hart says that the best player in the league right now is Saquon Barkley. Mahomes is the greatest player in the league. Ted calls linebackers today soft and gives his game plan as to how to stop Saquon. Make the Eagles rely on their passing game in order to win. You have to have a lead at halftime if you want to beat the Chiefs. You need to hold at least a ten point lead at halftime to have a shot at beating Mahomes. Ted Talk: Super Bowl editionTed takes us back to twenty years ago, a glorious time in Patriots history. It begins with a loss to the Steelers, and ends with Super Bowl XXXIX, a win over the Eagles.

Drake Maye reacts to his new coaches. Mike Vrabel has some serious credibility, which is making Maye excited. Matt Patricia spoke with Barstool Sports about what he was doing as an offensive coordinator. Did Patricia take a shot at Bill O’Brien? Ted asks why on earth Patricia is at the Super Bowl being interviewed? Romeo Crennel joins the show. He has coached Ted more than anyone else has. He gives background about Bill Belichick and who he was off the field. He realized that no player goes out intentionally to screw it up. They are always just trying to make a play. The system is more important than the individual player, and it will make the plays needed to win. He also discusses how the game has changed. It is a copycat league.

Adam Vinatieri did not make the Super Bowl. He was an all-time guy and athlete. People do not value the specialists, we assume. Back to the Bill Belichick discussion. Did Ted jinx his old teammate?

First, the Eagles are sick. What does that do for their chances. Hart knew that Saquon was the man when he stepped onto the field at practice against the Patriots in the summer. Hart thinks Mahomes will make a big mistake during the big game. The Chiefs are due for a bad Super Bowl, but there is one fear… Nick Sirianni. Dan thought he was done, but somehow the Eagles have persevered. Saquon has given that locker room an injection of talent. Saquon has the most value in the league. He has elevated a guy like AJ Brown! Who will be the MVP of the Super Bowl? Can Hurts win a Super Bowl? Celtics talk. It did not seem like the Celtics led the entire game. This game was not close at all. They are 16-10 at home? Hart thought they could go undefeated at home… Now he questions their contender status. What is going on with Jayson Tatum? It looks difficult for them to play defense.

Listen to the best Patriots audio of the week from The Greg Hill Show, Jones & Keefe, and the WEEI Afternoon Show leading up to the Week 11 matchup against the Rams.
Today the show was focused on the lowly Bruins and the Patriots matchup against the Rams. Here is how it lookedHour 1: Patriots culture and identity getting strongerHour 2: Culture and pickups... will they lead to Pats wins?Hour 3: Gruden Fawns over Maye | Picks of the week | Tyson Paul previewHour 4: Arcand's scouting report of the LA Rams
Hour 4 - During the fourth hour of Afternoons with Arcand and Hart, the guys talk through a story of the day with Stiz in behind the glass about a woman who stole 500k and went to a Pats game, then as Andy goes to his son's football game, Arcand breaks down every aspect of the Rams, finally, odds and ends on a man who burned himself on a plane on a hot beverage.
Stiz tells the story of a woman who defrauded people of 500k to see Tom Brady’s return to New England as a Buccaneer. She was messy with it and F’d around and found out… about 30 months in prison. Would it be worth it? Arcand thinks so.
Hour 3 - During the third hour of WEEI Afternoons, Arcand and Hart dissect each NFL team and discuss how Drake Maye would fit with every team. Then, they make their picks for the week. Finally, they offer a preview of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.

Hour 2 - During the second hour of WEEI Afternoons, Arcand and Hart (host 1 and host 2) discuss the Patriots the Bruins, and the Red Sox. First, revisiting the terrible Bruins. When's Monty gone? Then, Pickup discussion, the Patriots had to pick up Caleb Williams during the game on Sunday. This is a little on the corny side, however, it feels performative. Could this actually be beneficial? Hart thinks the players love it. He thinks if it works, it cannot be corny. Finally, Red Sox fumbling Juan Soto in real time?
Soto to the Sox? The Red Sox did not discuss money or term in the meeting, it was mostly informational. Sounds like they had first crack at Soto, but they did not even talk about money? Arcand is furious. Seems like a blown opportunity.
The only thing that matters to Mike Giardi is a win. What does the so called culture even mean if you cannot beat the Rams?
The Bruins were embarrassed by the Stars last night. Swayman is falling from grace and they always seem to lose to good teams badly. Dominated in every way. Their coach is toast. No identity, or a bad identity. Jim Montgomery is not the only one who bears the blame… throw the players and Sweeney in there. Is softness a problem? There is a scrappiness part of it as well, not just a team that does not throw big hits, but a team that is not aggressive at all. Jim Montgomery is a broken hockey coach.
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the WEEI Afternoon Show the guys discuss the Patriots and how they will respond to Jerod Mayo and Alex Van Pelt giving the players some credit for having good practices leading up to their game against the Rams.
Saquon Barkley is a force of nature. He was unstoppable last night. This was the first game where Jayden Daniels has come back to earth. Neither of the QBs played well last night. There is now an opening in the top four, but even when there is an opening, Drake Maye seems to be a little far off at the present moment. Daniels is the best rookie right now until something ridiculous happens.
A discussion on the offense. Who needs to step up in order to win? The rushing. Stevenson needs to break out like the top five or ten running back we think he can be. Why do people say fascinated too much?

Happy Patriots Monday! Here is what the show looked like todayHour 1: What didn't go wrong for the Patriots yesterday?Hour 2: Unprofessional, "soft," and 1-6Hour 3: The only thing consistent on this Patriots team is mixed messagingHour 4: Jones and Maye join the show | Odds and Ends
Hour 4 - The show wraps up with appearances from Drake Maye and Jonathan Jones. Listen to hear what they have to say, also Arcand goes around the league in Odds and Ends.
Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye discusses what it means to be a leader in a locker room of a team that seems to be floundering.
Patriots CB Jonathan Jones speaks honestly about the Patriots defensive struggles, the lack of run defense, his postgame speech and more!
Hour 3 - During the third hour of the WEEI Afternoon Show the crew discusses the Jerod Mayo comments that were backed up and more.
No consistency on this team. Demarcus Covington is avoiding criticism this season. He transformed the defense from the best rushing defense to lower middle of the pack. The talking point of the week is the coaching staff. British cooking tangent. Caller says the only thing that gets cooked correctly in England is the Patriots defense.
Jerod Mayo backed up his soft comment on the Greg Hill Show. He was very adamant about clarifying that. Why are our defenders not laying people out. No one is showing any heart. Soft performance for sure. Why did he take back his comments? When you are apologizing more than once, then you really mean it. Hart is not a fan of all the back tracking… it is the burn cash comment all over again.
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the WEEI Afternoon Show the guys discuss Jerod Mayo and the staff of the Patriots. Jerod Mayo is having a tough start as a head coach. Head coaches get caught in the crossfire of a lot of things, including on this show.
In real time, Arcand thought that going for two was a bad call. You put too much pressure on your defense by going for it. Hart would have kicked it as well, put the decision off as long as possible. Alex Van Pelt discussion, how much are these coaches and managers getting paid? Were there better options available at coordinator who we could have had?
In a world where everyone is very sensitive, shouldn’t you be able to talk to your teammates? These are men we are talking about, professionals, acting like teenagers. It is very unprofessional. Then you have Kendrick Bourne ripping his teammates. Where are the limitations on trips? Are there no curfews?
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the WEEI Afternoon Show the guys discuss the Patriots and their wrongdoings. Where to begin, the lack of run stopping, the lack of discipline, and a coach who calls the whole team soft. Then, what went right for the offense in the first quarter? Finally, Bill Belichick seemed to rip Jerod Mayo today...
Offense was evolving for a second. It had Andy Hart feeling really positive in the first quarter. Then, Alex Van Pelt changed the playbook to all runs up the middle. If the defense played as well as Drake Maye did they would win. Since Brady, there has always been terrible QB play, but now you have good QB play and are finding ways to lose. Make a play, Polk!
What is the worst loss of the season going to be? There are tougher games on the horizon. They stink in the locker room, they stink on the field, and even more. Does Evan Lazar deserve an apology? There are so many theories as to what is going on! You saved Doug Pederson’s job with that loss. Reality has hit. Drake Maye had a top three day in the league and you still lost.
From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo and Sammy are joined by Red Sox personality Ed Hand to discuss his upcoming free agency rankings and if any of them fit for the Sox.

Hour 3 - During the third hour of the WEEI Afternoon Show, the guys discuss the Patriots management and their roster by asking the question: why do super stars never want to come to New England? Then, Arcand goes in depth on the Jaguars. Finally, Red Sox FOMO.
Jaguars scouting report: who can you expect to be a difference on this team? Is Pederson on the hot seat? How BAD is their defense. Find out in Arcand’s scouting report.
This team is not going to get better quickly. They are not good enough to go out and get star players, however, why not try to accelerate the process and get some talent. Right now, the Patriots have no talent! Hart urges Patriots fans to have a little patience.
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the WEEI Afternoon Show the guys discuss the Patriots current status as rebuilder and what role ex coach Bill Belichick had in the Pats demise. First, Bill and Patricia have a conversation about QBs. Then, Hart urges Patriots fans to get over Bill. Finally, what happened in TNF?
Mike Lombardi says that you cannot criticize Bill Belichick right now because the Patriots failed to upgrade their roster. Familiar faces from past seasons, but you still have to field a team. Bill’s drafting had been terrible, no one has achieved anything. These are the best of what is left over. Gotta put someone out there. Should the Patriots continue to blame Bill for everything? NO! Stop talking about it. Let Bill do his own thing.
Hart’s new segment: five pillars of Patriots football. Ownership, QB, Coach, Executives, Roster. Arcand: 5. Executives 4. Coaches 3. Owner 2. Roster 1. QBHart: 5. Coaching 4. Roster 3. Executives 2. Owner 1. QB
Bill and Matt Patricia have a weird conversation. We GET IT, Matt, it was all you! Would Bill have started Maye in week one? Hart thinks so. Drake does not seem to care about the coaching, he just wants to play and get coached! He fancies himself as a QB, not as a brand, like Mac.
Hour one - during the first hour of the WEEI Afternoon Show, the guys discuss the Patriots matchup with the Jaguars and what it would mean for both teams to come away with a win. First, is Drake Maye's knee going to be a problem? Then, Hart lets everyone know that he is rooting for a loss. TANK ON, he says. Finally, MLB Postseason is really fun, why can't the Red Sox try harder?
Are Patriots fans rooting for this team to win? Arcand says that it would be a good win. He is definitely rooting for the win. Hart thinks they can win, but he wants the TANK. The Andy Hart plan. Maye could make history with three touchdown passes. He is rooting for a shootout. How on earth could the Patriots defense allow so many points to the Jaguars? They are not good.
Going to be a great weekend with good weather. Why did the Patriots have their press conference in such a crap school? Arcand would hate to go to that school. Hart loved the vibe that came from the press conference. New age Patriots? Arcand goes on a tangent about the dusty school the Patriots press conference was in. Doug Pederson is on the ropes. This game means more for them than the Patriots, especially with all the money committed to Lawrence. What’s the deal with Drake Maye’s knee? Arcand gives his theory.
From '6 Rings & Football Things' (subscribe here): The Patriots find themselves in a VERY winnable situation as they get set to head across the pond for a date with the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Fitzy and Hart preview all the action, explain HOW the Patriots can win this game, and discuss what to expect from Drake Maye in his second career start.

Both QBs have had a good day recently. Jones: Maye looked comfortable. If Baker can catch or stay in bounds. There is a lot to like about his short passing game, he can also throw the ball downfield.

Jones can’t figure out a place to go for his fantasy football auctionJones has been kicked out of a bar beforeHow much pull does Mayo have in regards to the QB1 situation?Does not feel like a situation that he wants to make
Has Mayo been consistent? Kind of, but there is a lot of pressure to start Maye. If Maye looks like he is ready and Brissett looks bad. It will be hard to justify.The notion that it is all about Brissett and not about Maye is garbage. We don’t know what is going to happen in this preseason game. A lot of the players coaches are on offense. Not a defensive guy, on top of it, he is in the Bill coaching tree.
Mayo is leaning into the anti Bill Belichick media personality. So far to the OTHER side. Annoying coaches who think they are funny are annoying to Jones.Why can’t you just answer a question normallyOutside the QB, nothing else is importantJones did not ask for Jerod Mayo. He did not ask for another Bill Belichick.
Is there really no way that Maye can beat out Brissett for the starting job? Jones: I assumed Brissett would start the game. I still hope he can win the job, and I am done trusting them when it comes to the competitionArcand: there are 23 examples of this situation, a few did not play right away, I tried to limit it to all the guys who played right away. There are 21 QBs, +1 win for teams starting their newly drafted QB. No matter what there is not a significant amount of turnaround.

A lot of people think the main issue is the offensive line. Then, Maye has to outplay Brissett to earn the job. Finally, what will the Patriots roster look like during preseason week three? Mayo stated that all the healthy players will play!
Mego: Maye’s play will make him look like a better QB. I am interested in seeing the reports come out about practice this week. First time head coach and other places on the staff. All of this points to putting a professional football team out there in week one. I do not buy the Drake Maye competition stuff. I think it will be Brissett coming into the third preseason game. Arcand: this will be an embarrassing season. I also think if they are the panthers with a rookie QB with promise, you can sell that to the fans. With Joe Burrow you saw something there. There was hope for the future. There will be pressure if there is a platoon.
An overwhelming amount of Patriots fans think that the offensive line is the biggest concern for Eliot Wolf's Patriots roster

Hour 4 - During the fourth hour of the Arcand and Mego show the crew talks about Drake Maye and the Patriots and the new locker room culture in New England. There seems to be a lot of players coaches in the room this season, Alex Van Pelt is known as a really nice guy, so is Mayo. Coaches are giving Maye the opportunity to do what is comfortable to him. In this hour, we unpack this and more!
Time for the Triple Play! Here are the questions: Triple play;
Rich Hill will play in ___ games for the Red Sox this season
Drake Maye will play ___ number of series in the patriots final preseason game next week
Nick Cage as John Madden in the new biopic will be ___
Hearing Maye talk about offensive coordinator like he did was refreshing. He told Alex Van Pelt what HE liked. Drake Maye can go up to the coordinator and tell him what he could not do. It was great. He is a players coach.
Mego: I think there is not a force to do things a certain way. It is looser, will work in the offenses favor.
Arcand: It used to be a lot more intense. There was no freedom. People never spoke out, when they did, they got punished. Not tolerated.
There is a group of coaches that has been told that this season will not mean anything for their careers
Mego: You are crazy if you do not think Mayo will not get another chance.
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Mego and Arcand show the crew goes through the Patriots roster and listens to callers opinions on the QB competition in New England.
Mego: He should be good in the next game. Washington is not in as good a place as Philly. I just think that they have their plan. This is reminding me of Cam vs Mac.
Arcand: Everyone thought Cam stinks.
Mego: I do not know what they are doing with Drake Maye. He has been secondary to the operations that they are doing. I am 1000x more interested in watching Drake Maye than anyone else. Has he earned the starting job? I do not know
Arcand: He earned reps with the ones next week in practice for sure.
Difference between starting Maye week one vs week 2
Drake Maye and Mac Jones are two very different guys. Even when we interviewed them it felt different.
Mego: you can’t just not play Drake Maye out of fear, then Brissett gets injured and you are going to have to play Maye anyway. This is not a good faith competition. If Maye plays marginally better than Brissett then I still think they will rock with Jacoby. The only sign
Arcand: there has to be some kind of line. It cannot just be decided by practice reps. They are not following any kind of code for the preseason. Jerod is very transparent about this stuff. The line for me is another appearance from Maye and looks netter or as good as he looked last night. That would be it for me.
This Patriots roster is not great on many levels.
Mego: The receiver room has no one. Polk and Douglas will be alright. Offensive line is a huge problem. There is a former chiefs tackle you can go get, but he takes a lot of penalties
Then, Dom Smith just got DFA'd?
Then, addressing the social post hypothetical. People were very angry about it. This is all Jones' fault.
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand (Mego and Arcand today), the crew talks through Drake Maye's extended game action in preseason game two.
First, Jerod Mayo should give Maye first team reps after he outshined Brissett last night, or else, as Arcand says, he would be a LIAR.
Then, it is time to really test Drake Maye. Tom E Curran uses a pee on leg analogy, Mego and Arcand agree.
Mayo looked comfortable last night
There will probably be a big staff meeting to discuss whether or not Maye will practice with the ones from now on.
Mego: At some point you have to get some stuff in, and that time is now. The more reps I get the better I will be. He has to ask for more to do.
Arcand: If he does not practice with the ones, Mayo is a liar.
Arcand asks the Big Q @2:00: Do you believe there is still a competition between quarterbacks to start Week One?
Mego: No. There is no intent to start him in week one. I give Drake Maye a B+ for last night. I was impressed by him. Step forward for him in this process. There is a very slow development process here. Who is joining this offensive line that will make it that much better.
Arcand: the ends were very very soft.
This edition of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand was mostly about the New England Patriots on their preseason gameday and Boyz II Men. Here is what it looked like hour by hour:
Hour 1: Initial thoughts on the Mathew Judon Trade
Hour 2: Drake Maye's mental toughness | Jonez II Men
Hour 3: Mego: The Patriots should cut Zappe and move on
Hour 4: Patriots floor is zero wins | Men activities that turn women on
Hour 4 - During the fourth hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew discusses the Patriots win ceiling and floor. Jones thinks the floor is zero wins.
Then, Megsplaining on a recent report from the NYP that states the activities that turn women on that are non-sexual.
What activities do men do that turn women on?
Using your brain
Reading is just looking at something
Cooking?
Don't grill and read around Mego
Fasten your seatbelts, Pats fans, this is going to be a ROUGH season.
This did not have to be a rebuilding year.
They have chosen to rebuild.
Mego: is rebuilding always a choice?
Arcand: No
Jones: YES. That is a choice
Mego: at some point you have to start over, but you can choose how long your rebuild is.
Jones: You could go 8-9 it could feel much different than a 2-15 season. Patriots ceiling is 7 wins? They can’t win 8 games?
What is their floor? 2? Or 0?
Jones: I think their floor is zero.
Mego: What about a tie?
Hour 3 - During the third hour of the Jones and Mego with Arcand show the crew talks Patriots football and a little Olympics.
First, Mego says the Patriots should just cut Zappe instead of Phil Perry's idea that he will play in the fourth quarter of tonight's game.
Then, they revisit the Judon trade and the return the Patriots received.
Finally, Triple Play! Grade this year's Olympics
Time for the Triple Play! Here are the questions:
REPORT CARD THURSDAY
1 GRADE THE PATRIOTS DEFENSE POST JUDON TRADE
2 SINCE THE ASB WHO GETS A WORSE GRADE - RED SOX BULLPEN OR RED SOX DEFENSE?
3 GRADE THE 2024 OLYMPICS
Jones: this is a THIRD ROUND PICK a YEAR FROM NOW. The guys won’t show up week one. Have fun with 2024. The Patriots clearly do not care about it.
How many teams have a best player who would go for a third round pick!
Then, the bar is on the floor for Drake Maye playing today. Jones just wants them to play Maye, he does not care if he only hands it off and checks it down.
Hour 2 - During this hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew talks Drake Maye and how mentally tough he has to be to deal with whatever is going on in Foxborough right now. Tom E Curran also joins to weigh in. Finally, a tribute to Matthew Judon in an interesting way. You do not want to miss the Boyz II Men segment.
NBC Sports Boston's Tom E Curran joins the Jones and Mego show with Arcand to talk offensive structure under Alex Van Pelt, Drake Maye playing time, Drake Maye's ceiling, and the return for Matthew Judon.
What will the Patriots plan for Drake Maye be tonight? Jones, Mego, and Arcand brainstorm.
Arcand says the Patriots are treating Maye as a third string QB.
Jones: maye will finish first half, Milton in second. No Zappe.
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego with Arcand show the crew talks Patriots football and Red Sox baseball.
First, was the trade a good move? Mego and Arcand think so, Jones not so much. It seems the Pats are Tanking.
Then, should the Patriots have traded Judon before the draft? Jones argues that he would rather have a fourth rounder in this year's draft than a third in next year's.
Finally, the Sox bullpen help acquired at the deadline has bitten them where it hurts...
Jones: I would rather have a fourth round pick in this draft than the third rounder next year.
Arcand: The culture here is so new that having Judon would not have made that much of a difference.
Jones: Now, they will mail it in week one.
Jones goes off on a caller for suggesting third round pick for a left tackle. No CHANCE!
Jones asks the Big Q @2:00: What do you think of the Patriots decision to trade Matthew Judon? and it seems as if a lot of you think it was the right move.
The crew debates whether or not they think it was.
Jones: 78% think this trade was the right move. If I asked this yesterday, people wouldn't say that. I would still rather have Matthew Judon on this team. Every guy on this team does not have to be apart of the future. To me, the better time to trade him would have been before. Better return than before, but this pick will be in the 80s or 90s. Not a premium pick!
Mego: I seems like the Patriots and Judon were far apart in contract talks. I thought they were going to get a fourth round pick, was pleasantly surprised when it was announced that it was a third.
Arcand: I am shocked that Judon had a big market! I think this is Eliot Wolf’s crowning achievement in his career so far. I think its a great return.
The full three hours of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand from Fenway on day two of the NESN WEEI Jimmy Fund
Joe Castiglione shares his insight into the Jimmy Fund all these years later. He tells stories and recounts old memories. He truly remembers everything.
In this hour you will hear from Mason Marc-Aurele, 5, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Windham, NH, with Ariel (mom) and Michael (dad)
Leilani Hood, 1, neuroblastoma, Boston, with Liz (mom) and Chris (dad)
Emelie Brosnihan, 7, bilateral Wilms tumor, Natick, with Kate (mom), Dave (dad)
New England Revolution Head Coach Caleb Porter
Porter discusses the Jimmy Fund and what it means to him, and the city of Boston being a selling point for free agents. Boston is a hungry soccer city, time to build the Revs a new stadium!
Emelie Brosnihan, 7, bilateral Wilms tumor, Natick, with Kate (mom), Dave (dad), Olivia (sister, 12), and Liam (brother, 10)
· During the summer in 2022, Emelie was swimming with her siblings, Olivia and Liam. When they came inside for lunch, Emelie screamed and cried from pain. Her family took her to the local emergency room where it was confirmed she had masses on her kidneys. The family went to Boston where Emelie was diagnosed with Bilateral Wilms Tumors, a form of kidney cancer. Within 24 hours, Emelie had a port put in and began her first round of chemotherapy.
· Starting August 2022, Emelie underwent 12 weeks of chemotherapy to shrink the tumors on her kidneys, leaving her with half of her right kidney and two-thirds of her left. Emelie’s last round of chemotherapy was in February 2023. She visited the Jimmy Fund Clinic on a monthly basis for blood work, and prescription renewal until end of May 2023, when she graduated to quarterly visits and scans.
· Emelie enjoys swimming, playing with her brother and sister, and all kinds of crafts. This past summer, Emelie was a patient partner with Homegoods and HomeSense and designed artwork for their annual bag campaign to raise money for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber. Her bag designs included an underwater scene with fish and turtles, and a panda bear eating a watermelon. Emelie is going to enter second grade in the fall.
Leilani Hood, 1, neuroblastoma, Boston, with Liz (mom) and Chris (dad)
· When Leilani was 4 months old, they noticed a lump in her neck. Her pediatrician ordered an x-ray, which revealed several tumors, including in her chest.
· Her treatment has included chemotherapy as well as surgery to remove tumors.
· Her family is enjoying a treatment-free summer ahead of her upcoming scans in September. They are hoping to be cancer-free for the first time.
· Leilani remains vibrant and happy; despite everything she has been through.
· Leilani’s parents are both former military helicopter pilots (Chris, for the Marine Corps and Liz, for the Navy).
Mason Marc-Aurele, 5, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Windham, NH, with Ariel (mom) and Michael (dad)
· Mason was experiencing back pain that continued for three months. Then one day, Mason couldn’t walk or get out of his bed. His family took him to the hospital where he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in March of this year.
· Mason’s treatments have been tough, and they’re expected to last for two years as he continues to need many procedures and chemotherapy.
· Mason loves baseball, golf, and swimming. He is in pre-K.
During this hour you will hear from Max Gagnon (GAG-NON), 12, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Laconia, NH with his father, Mike
and the Scribner family.
Calista Scribner, 9, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Winchester, with Jennifer (mom), Paul (dad), Caleb (brother, 13), Calen (brother, 11), Calex (brother, 7)
· Calista had aches and pains in her legs, lower back, and shoulder. In July 2023, she developed a fever which continued for a week, accompanied by fatigue, severe lower back and stomach pain and difficulty lifting her arms. She had lab work done to rule out viruses and infections. Her family took Calista to the emergency room where lab work confirmed acute lymphoblastic leukemia in July of last year.
· Calista began chemotherapy treatment. During one cycle in October 2023, she was “off,” and her family reported this to her team. Doctors discovered a blood clot in her brain due to a rare side effect from one of her chemotherapies. Calista is still in treatment and undergoes chemotherapy, a lumbar puncture every nine weeks, and medications. She is expected to finish her treatment in August/September 2025.
· Calista is a huge hockey fan and used to be a goalie. She hopes to return to the ice soon. She loves to craft, cook, swim, go to the beach, and spend time with her three dogs: Charlie, Cocoa, and Cleo.
Jones, Mego, and Arcand debrief the Patriots underwhelming joint practice yesterday with the Eagles. Also, will the Sox get back on track? Their schedule is tough moving forward.
Max Gagnon, 12, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Laconia, NH with his father, Mike
and Olivia (sister, 13).
· Max was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2014. His doctors
thought he was having recurrent ear infections and then they noticed his stomach had
become distended. His pediatrician suggested blood work, which revealed leukemia.
· His treatment included chemotherapy, and he is slated to complete treatment in
September.
· Max enjoys lacrosse, soccer, video games, skiing and sailing, and he’s looking
forward to starting seventh grade.
The family thinks the Jimmy Fund Clinic is filled with especially caring doctors,
nurses and staff who always do their best to ensure that families are safe and
comfortable.
During this hour you hear from Ryan Leavitt, 25, sarcoma: Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT), Rockland, with Vinayak Venkataraman, MD, Dana-Farber
Kristen van De Geer, 43, colorectal cancer, Hanscom Airforce Base, with Juliette Van de Geer (sister) and Veronika Buckley
Nick Pivetta
Sarah Laffey, 27, neuroblastoma, Charlestown
In 2015, Sarah’s right eye swelled shut and she went to the hospital in Colorado, where she was living at the time. She was having lower back pain as well so the doctors did a CT scan, which revealed neuroblastoma.
· Her treatment has included chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation. She has had several remissions and relapses and is currently in active treatment.
· Sarah is singing the national anthem before tonight’s game.
· Kristen Van de Geer was living in Alaska, where her husband was stationed in the Coast Guard, and was experiencing stomach pains. As a teenager, she was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, but with a family history of colon cancer and her mother’s passing in 2017 from gallbladder cancer, she wanted to be sure that nothing else was wrong. For 5 years, she was given different reasons for her stomach pains but never referred for the colonoscopy. Eventually, Kristin got her gallbladder removed.
· In 2022 a doctor agreed to perform a colonoscopy too. A single “wonky polyp” was discovered which led to a rectal cancer diagnosis in early 2023.
· Now living in Massachusetts, Kristen followed a chemotherapy treatment plan and had two surgeries: one to remove the polyp and one for a resection. Kristen’s focus on seeking and embracing joy during treatment helped her through the most difficult times. She is grateful for the unwavering support of her husband, her sisters, and extended friends and family who showed up for her - and still show up - in the most beautiful ways.
· For the past 8 months, she has been out of treatment and feeling better. Kristen’s diagnosis encouraged her three sisters to seek screenings as well. One sister was able to catch an advanced polyp that doctors estimated was within months of turning cancerous. Through genetic testing, which her sister Juliette received first, it was discovered that three of them have a genetic mutation that makes them more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer. Kristen feels grateful for the genetic testing options provided at Dana-Farber, both to her and her sisters.
Kristen loves crocheting stuffed animals, like highland cows and mermaids and advocates for screening awareness to anyone who will listen
Ryan Leavitt, 25, sarcoma: Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT), Rockland, with Vinayak Venkataraman, MD, Dana-Farber
Following a typical, fun night out with friends Ryan woke up the next morning with severe stomach pains. He went to urgent care the same morning where scans revealed several masses in his stomach. Additional biopsies confirmed that Ryan had Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor or DSRCT, a type of sarcoma that forms in the body’s connective tissue.
· This past November, Ryan started his treatment regime of 2-day and 5-day increments on a biweekly basis. Since then, he’s completed 8 of 14 planned rounds of chemotherapy and 2 surgeries. Once he finishes chemotherapy, he’ll have an additional 28 days of radiation.
· Ryan graduated with his bachelor’s degree from Bridgewater State University in 2021 and now works as an Account Executive for the public relations firm, Spectrum Science. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, trying new restaurants, and hanging out with his friends and family.

In early 2020, it became difficult for Clinton to eat. It was during the pandemic
and much harder at the time to see a doctor, so it took a while before he was able to get checked out. In January 2021, Clinton was diagnosed with esophageal cancer that metastasized into his lungs.
His treatment included six months on a feeding tube, chemotherapy and radiation
treatments. In summer 2021, he received an esophagectomy and now comes in for
chemotherapy every other week. He will continue these sessions for the foreseeable
future.
The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be about 22,370 new
esophageal cancer cases diagnosed (17,690 in men and 4,680 in women) in 2024. Esophageal cancer is more common among men than among women. The
lifetime risk of esophageal cancer in the United States is about 1 in 127 in men and
about 1 in 434 in women.
Red Sox legend and Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk talks about the long-time support he has given to the Jimmy Fund and how Fenway has changed since his playing days.
Dr. Hartley-Brown's clinical area of focus is treating patients with Multiple
Myeloma. This is an incurable blood cancer, that affects African Americans more
prevalently than other ethnic populations. She also practices clinical research, mainly in the relapsed refractory myeloma disease setting. Dr. Hartley-Brown actively participates as a principal investigator in clinical trials within the Alliance for Clinical Trials, investigator-initiated and investigator sponsored trials. Her area of interest in clinical trials includes use of immunotherapies and targeted therapies, such as
bispecific/tri-specific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates and modern immune
modulating drugs (ex. cereblon modulators).
Jaimey was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2008. He was treated and received a clean bill of health and remained cancer-free. In May 2015, a routine blood donation led to a life-changing discovery when the Red Cross director urged him to seek immediate medical attention. Jaimey was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), which, contrary to its typical slow progression, advanced rapidly in his case.
Jaimey remained active, cycling and running to maintain his mental well-being.
However, six to nine months ago, his CLL numbers began to rise again, prompting
discussions about future treatments. Although his white blood cell count is high and he has low antibodies, making illnesses particularly severe, Jaimey remains optimistic with Dana-Farber's support.
After obtaining an A.B. cum laude in chemistry at Harvard College, Dr. Davids
completed his M.D. cum laude at Yale University School of Medicine. He served as an intern, resident, and assistant chief resident in internal medicine at New
York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

Matt Waning's cancer journey began in 2021, at the age of 34, when he was
diagnosed with testicular cancer. The aggressive nature of his illness led to surgery that removed a tumor the size of a watermelon, along with his left testicle and kidney, as the tumor had reached his aorta. Following surgery, he underwent two months of preventive chemotherapy known as VIP treatment and celebrated being in remission by August 2021. However, the VIP treatment came with a rare side effect—a potential risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Unfortunately, in January 2023, Matt was diagnosed with AML as a result of the chemotherapy he had previously received.
Matt is an avid Boston sports fan, with a particular passion for the Bruins. Music
is another love of his, offering solace and joy throughout his journey. As the oldest of three siblings, he shares a special bond with his family, including his dog Mogley, named after the main character from "The Jungle Book."

Hour 2 - Day 1 of the WEEI/NESN Jimmy fund Radio Telethon continues with chats with Tina Kennedy about her story with breast cancer.
Then, more patients join including Red Sox reliever Liam Hendriks who describes his new-found connection with the Jimmy Fund.
And, Eva Berk's family describes how her twin brother Joey helped her in her fight with leukemia.
Eva had unexplained fevers for about a week. She was pale and sleeping a lot. Her
parents took her to the pediatrician, who advised them to take Eva immediately to the
emergency room. Her bloodwork revealed she had acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
After two years of treatment including chemotherapy, she was finally in remission,
but cancer returned just two weeks later. Eva needed a stem cell transplant and her twin brother, Joey, was a perfect match for the procedure.
She received a stem cell transplant from Joey in 2022. She also has received CAR-T
cell therapy, a type of immunotherapy. She received her cells in May and continues to be seen twice weekly to track her progress with therapy and platelet infusions.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is aggressive and progresses quickly. It affects the
lymphoid-cell-producing stem cells, in particular a type of white blood cell called T
lymphocytes as opposed to acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) which commonly affects B lymphocytes. ALL is the most common type of childhood cancer. It most often occurs in children ages 3 to 5 and affects slightly more boys than girls.
“It was nothing to worry about,” Andrew was repeatedly told, when he visited
urgent care twice for pain in his pelvis area. But the discomfort wouldn’t go away, so he met with his primary care physician who referred him to a urologist for an ultrasound. The scans led to a testicular cancer diagnosis in early 2023. It was caught early enough, and he was told there was a good prognosis. The cancer had only spread very lightly to his lymph nodes.
Adam works as the director of data analytics for a pharmaceutical company. He
loves vacationing with his family, watching his children play their sports (soccer for his son Jacob and gymnastics for his daughter Julia) and caring for his 2004 BMW. He hopes to help normalize conversations around testicular cancer for other men so they can overcome stigmas and shame around it. Today, he and his wife Kara are
celebrating their wedding anniversary.
Dr. Atish Choudhury is a medical oncologist and clinical/translational investigator
within the Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and currently serves as Chair of the Gelb Center for Translational Research. He also serves as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. His research interests include investigation of genetic and epigenetic biomarkers from circulating free DNA from patients with metastatic cancer, biomarker studies from other banked human specimens from patients participating in clinical trials, and clinical investigation in novel therapeutics for genitourinary malignancies.
According to the American Cancer Society, testicular cancer is not common. About 1 of every 250 males will develop testicular cancer at some point during their lifetime. The American Cancer Society’s estimate for testicular cancer in the United States for 2024 is about 9,760 new cases of testicular cancer diagnosed. The average age of males when first diagnosed with testicular cancer is about 33. This is largely a disease of young and middle-aged men, but about 6% of cases occur in children and teens, and about 8% occur in men older than 55.
Red Sox reliever Liam Hendriks joins to share his personal battle with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, getting involved with the Jimmy Fund, and working back from injury to hopefully help the team as they push for the playoffs.
During the summer before her senior year in Boston College’s nursing program,
Zoe started having chronic headaches, which were brushed off as anxiety and
migraines. Eventually, her left arm went numb, so doctors thought she could be
experiencing a focal seizure: a seizure that affects only one side of the brain. An MRI led to a brain tumor diagnosis. After surgery in 2017, she was declared cancer-free.
Zoe worked at an infusion clinic in Waltham for two years prior to joining
Dana-Farber—Chestnut Hill in 2021. After transferring her own healthcare to
Dana-Farber, however, she learned there is no cure for her cancer. Zoe was enrolled in the Indigo clinical trial and expects to continue taking an oral drug for the remainder of her life to prevent the brain tumor from returning.
Zoe, who is currently pursuing her master’s degree in healthcare administration,
says she often forms emotional bonds with patients and shares her story when it is appropriate and helpful. She’s training and fundraising for the Berlin Marathon in
Germany in September for the Brain Tumor Charity, an organization based out of the United Kingdom.
Oligodendroglioma is a growth of cells that starts in the brain. The growth of
cells, called a tumor, begins in cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells make a
substance that protects nerve cells and helps with the flow of electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. Oligodendroglioma is most common in adults, but it can happen at any age. Symptoms include seizures, headaches, and weakness or disability in a certain part of the body. Where this happens in the body depends on which parts of the brain are affected by the tumor.
Tina was 33 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She discovered a bump
near her clavicle and went to her OGBYN who promptly sent her for a mammogram.
Tina is among a growing number of young women being diagnosed with breast cancer. Tina’s treatment started with six rounds of chemotherapy, followed by a double mastectomy earlier this summer. She is currently doing some rounds of low dosage chemotherapy throughout the rest of this year and recently started radiation treatment as well.
Tina works as a Government Relations Manager and works in public policy for
DoorDash. Tina loves to travel and goes to Ireland several times a year. Tina and her
fiancé Erik also spend a lot of time on outdoor adventures with their dog, Buddy.

The pitchers also react to a walk-off win on the previous night and how ready the team is to make a push for the playoffs in the final month and a half of the regular season.
Dr. James Fanale worked in healthcare for nearly five decades, but never really
knew what it meant to be a patient until he was told he had cancer - Stage 4 lung
cancer. James was president and CEO of Care New England, retiring in 2022, shortly after being diagnosed.
Jim typically ran the Falmouth Road Race and insists on being able to continue
running. Since his cancer diagnosis, Jim has focused on his personal life. He’s retired and planning trips with his wife, Deb.

According to the American Cancer Society, there will be an estimated 234,580 new cases of lung cancer in the United States for 2024. Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., accounting for about 1 in 5 of all cancer deaths. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined. On a positive note, the number of new lung cancer cases continues to decrease, partly because more people are quitting smoking (or not starting). The number of lung cancer deaths continue to drop as well due to fewer people smoking and advances in early detection and treatment, according to the American Cancer Society.

- NOBODY ASKED ME BUT I THINK THE NEXT ACT TO PLAY FENWAY PARK SHOULD BE ____
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Mego and Lyons show the crew talks about the Patriots and Jayson Tatum.
First, the fans were not booing Zappe himself, but they were booing Mayo and the lack of Drake Maye on the field. Of the few and far between things to be excited about with the Patriots this season, why not give the fans what they want?
Then, Good Tweet, Bad Tweet, and Mark Daniels breaks down what he saw at Gillette last night.
Finally, Jayson Tatum did not see the floor yesterday... how come?
Serbia is Jayson Tatum’s kryptonite. It is galling when you can barely get by Serbia and Tatum does not touch the court.
Lyons: you are down seventeen and you still will not play Tatum? If they had lost that game, then a lot more people would be talking about it.
Kerr is being so obnoxious. Only ten guys can play? This has never been an issue before. You are making it harder for this team to win.
MassLive Patriots beat reporter Marl Daniels calls into the Mego and Lyons show to discuss a multitude of Patriots topics including Joe Milton excitement, Patriots young receivers, and the disappointment in the Patriots management for not playing Drake Maye as much as everyone wanted to see him play.
Lyons: I get the broadcast setup, but we could have used a little more information on what was going on.
Mego: People are being super snotty over the performance of Joe Milton III. he was exciting! I get it, it means nothing, but it tells me that this is a fanbase that is so thirsty for any kind of entertaining product coming from the Patriots. Fans are not booing Zappe, but are upset that Maye is not getting in the game.
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Mego and Lyons show, the crew talks Patriots football as they played their first game of the Jerod Mayo era last night.
First, a discussion on the lack of direction from the coaching staff in not playing Drake Maye as much as fans and the media wanted them to.
Then, Mego speaks on Dan Orlovsky, who analyzed handoff fundamentals in Drake Maye's only drive.
Finally, Why did the Patriots take many penalties coming into the second half of the game?
What on earth are "handoff mechanics?"
He watched the ball as he handed it off? Dan, come on. This is a learning curve, but we do not have to make anything out of this.
Lyons: It’s important, but are these the things that will make him a franchise QB? I appreciate him getting so excited over this.
Mego: He is really good at the breakdown stuff, but
At some point you have to figure out different things to look at.
Mego asks the Big Q @2:00:Thoughts on how little playing time Drake Maye got in the first preseason game against the Panthers?
Lyons: I hated it. I said i wanted him to get four series. We didn't see much at all. Even when we talked yesterday, I said I wanted to see a few long passes. Instead, we saw a lot of Zappe, and Milton, but I wanted to see more Brissett too!
Mego: this could have been a soft start for him. He can get his feet wet. This reflects poorly on the coaching staff. Is it the issue of the offensive line? Coaches from across the league are asking what the hell the Patriots are doing.
Today's show was focused on the Patriots first preseason game in the Drake Maye Jacoby Brissett era. Here is how it looked hour by hour:
Hour 1: Maye will play tonight! | Red Sox pitching in SHAMBLES

Megsplaining: Houses
People are knocking down small houses to build giant cubes. What’s the deal!
Mego: Land was cheaper in the 80s, now people are richer here, so mansions on steroid trend will continue.
People want open floor layout, certain layout. What happened to a house having good bones. Isn’t there something about having an old home with great craftsmanship going away.
There is no room anymore
Hour 3 - During the third hour of the Mego and Lyons show, the crew talks Olympics basketball and the Patriots.
First, Big Q revisit, Mike in Randolph says Drake Maye sucks, Mego goes off on Steve Kerr. He is not a master brain coach!

Mego: this is a dark time. Oh wait never mind the US came back.
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Mego and Lyons show the crew talks Patriots.
First, what can we judge tonight for the Patriots? What are we looking forward to seeing in their first preseason game?
Then, Tom E Curran of NBC Sports Boston calls in.
Finally, Mego addresses the accusations that the midday show placed onto her.
Hard Knocks was BORING.
Gresh and Fauria mock Mego?
What did Mego do when a rookie entered the locker room?
Does Mego give off mean girl Energy?
Lyons: No
Mego: I was not scary towards the freshmen on my lacrosse team. Not the mom, but was uninvolved.
Tom E Curran of the Patriots Talk Podcast and NBC Sports Boston calls in to talk Drake Maye, the fact that Brissett has impressed in training camp, Jerod Mayo, and the Patriots suck tax.
Patriots have to look crisp today. How do they look with Mayo at the helm?
Mego: I will be watching Joe Milton. I am very excited to see what he looks like in a game. I do not buy into the Maye-Milton competition, but that does not mean I am not curious about what he looks like!
Lyons: I am also looking at the left tackle position.
Mego: I want to see something out of Polk and Baker. Outside of Gonzales, I cannot see anyone on the defense that I am looking for.
Lyons: Keion White. If he is ready to go, it changes the Judon conversation quite a bit.
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show (with John Lyons filling in today) the crew talks Patriots and Red Sox.
First, how much Drake Maye do we want to see? How good are we expecting him to be?
Then, why does Scheim still think that Brandon Aiyuk will be a Patriot?
Finally, Red Sox rotation...
Mego: I am at a loss for words to describe the Red Sox rotation. This is not what you want to see. Bello has been borderline fine, everyone is falling off a cliff.
Lyons: We have been talking about this for a long time. There were a lot of great pitchers in free agency. Our pitchers have been getting BLASTED. They have always needed more front end starters.
Scheim says that Brandon Aiyuk will be a Patriot?
Mego: My guy, the Patriots rescinded their offer!!!
Lyons: If Pittsburgh and Cleveland offer you the same money, you want to go there. More proven teams.
Mego: Veterans are saying do not come to the Patriots. The sooner you can embrace the reality of the situation the sooner you can move on! SCHEIM!
Mego asks the Big Q @2:00: What do you expect from Drake Maye in tonight's preseason debut?
Lyons: I would play Maye for three or four drives in a row. I expect him to throw an interception or close to an interception. He has been fine +
Mego: I am looking for a big playmaker. Unfair expectations for Maye, but he is the number three pick overall, you picked him because he has a big arm and he is a big kid.
Today’s show was focused on the Patriots failure to convince Aiyuk to come to New England and the beef between Matthew Judon and the Gresh and Fauria Show! The court is adjourned!

Finally, the crew gives their picks in Bet Roulette!
Did the Red Sox buy Cora’s silence?
A sweep would be tremendous
Team chemistry is key- Fitzy
Then, in Megsplaining: what is the price of being a fan?
A revisit to the Judon x Gresh and Fauria beef. Where does Andy Hart stand as he joined the show after the verdict was announced.
Hart: Judon is a fraud. The ball with the fans is not phoney. He is genuinely an emotional person. He is BS’ing.
Fitzy: the guy is a high energy guy and wears the red sleeves.
Hart: This situation usually does not go very well. I have lived it. Judon realized he did not have any leverage in this situation.
FItzy: Would you sit out?
Hart: No, he is going to lose so much money if he doesn’t. He does not have to practice!
Hour 3 - during the third hour of the Mego, Fitzy, and Hart show, the crew talks Patriots.
First, is Brandon Aiyuk at the level of Sidney Sweeney, CeeDee Lamb, and Ja'Marr Chase? Are the Patriots not good enough yet for an elite receiver?
Then, an angry divorced dad calls in and talk of media maven Bill Belichick.
Finally, Triple Play! Where is the best tailgate in the US?
The crew wants to try the disgusting cotton candy burrito in Arizona. Time for the Triple Play! Here are the questions:
- WHERE IS THE BEST FOOTBALL TAILGATE IN AMERICA?
- WHAT PUNISHMENT WOULD YOU HAND OUT TO PREVENT TEAMS FROM FIGHTING AT PRACTICE?
- YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE ARIZONA CARDINAL’S COTTON CANDY BURRITO
fruity pebbles, fruit loops, marshmallows, skittles, mini m&m’s, gummy bears and sprinkles inside the cotton candy shell.
Media maven Bill Belichick.
Will the media use Bill Belichick’s content to ask questions to other coaches?
Fitzy: Bill has a big ego, wants to have the most wins.
Hart: I love that part about that man.
Mego: Maybe he says as a 73 year old this is fine! His need for vengeance can go away.
He is going to do this from his house on Nantucket.
Hour 2 - During the second hour of Mego, Fitzy, and Hart (he joins in the last segment) the crew talks about the new beef between Matthew Judon and Gresh and Fauria, and breaks down the potential narrative that hurts the New England Patriots in free agency.
First, a dramatic reading of Judon's tweet at the midday show.
Then, the case begins. Whose side are Mego and Fitzy on?
Finally, what, in addition to the suck tax, is plaguing the Patriots from signing big name free agents?
Judon should have confronted him in person!
If you are getting crushed on how much you use social media then go back on social media… Mego does not really like that.
Fitzy: Is there going to be a disstrack? Who is Drake in this situation?
Jerod Mayo already has his hands full!
Mego’s ruling: the court must rest. Revisit when Gresh and Fauria are back in Foxborough. Team is off today then has a preseason game.
Is this bleedover to how Bill got fired and should be here? Is that why Gresh is so upset?
Fitzy: Do you believe Judon would have done that this if Bill was here? Yes!
Ryan: I disagree with you wholeheartedly. If Bill was here this would not have happened at all.
Let's set the scene: Matthew Judon wants more money. Andy Gresh hates the fact that Bill Belichick was fired. Gresh, on his show yesterday, ROASTED Judon (audio featured in this segment) and the Patriots defensive end responded via Twitter. Mego and Fitzy open the case of Law and Order: The case of the defensive end. In which there is no bitchier group of people than middle aged men in sports, the ultimate bitch fest, and a dramatic readback from the West End in London of Judon’s response.
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Mego and Fitzy show the crew talks Sox and Patriots.
First, Mego asks the big Q @2:00: Is a Brandon Aiyuk-level receiver a necessity for the Patriots, or a luxury?
Then, Alex Cora joins the show and talks about the rest of season expectations for his ballclub.
Alex Cora joins the Mego and Fitzy show and speaks on the Red Sox recent series win over Kansas City, his speech which made Fitzy want to run through a wall, and the pitching struggles as of late from Houck. He also touches on Casas' interesting answers to the media.
Who remembers the Mego & Fitzy show??
Mego asks the Big Q @2:00: Is a Brandon Aiyuk-level receiver a necessity for the Patriots, or a luxury?
Fitzy: Luxury: the idea that we NEED a star like Aiyuk on the roster who is now just scratching the surface of his potential, who has benefited from playing in San Francisco. How can you lose a locker room guy and a potential playmaker in Bourne. If this was Maye’s second year, then he needs his Stef Diggs. Let this room establish their chemistry as it is. This is a development year for the Patriots. Would it have been nice, yes, but it would be a luxury, not a necessity.
Mego argues that it would be a necessity to acquire the blue chip talent that Brandon Aiyuk brings to the table.

Time for Relationship Roundtable! Today, Mego discusses what it means when your girlfriend does not apologize at all, very normal at the Jones Household! Arcand likes it when women eat ribs.
What was that about the Patriots defense? The deafening silence interrupted by occasional laughter at the beginning of this segment reveals all. The crew cannot keep their minds off of Mego's answer from Triple Play on her favorite small music venues. Also featured, some analysis of Jerod Mayo's plan for team defense.
This hour started with: Who is Tom E Curran's friend, Griff? Leading into interior design talk with Mego. Then, Danny Ainge does not drink, would you want alcohol in your house to entertain people if you did not drink? Jones: No! I would not want a bunch of drunk people puking on my carpet! Then, which southern character does Drake Maye sound like? and Arcand says the words "pants pads." Finally, Mego's risqué flub which derailed an already ridiculous Triple Play!
Yeah, Mego said THAT. Listen to find out.
Also, Jones loves Chappell Roan and Arcand loves the organist at Fenway Park.
Did Arcand see Eminem at the Middle East?
Drake Maye spoke today to the media after practice. Has his accent dissappeared? Which southern character does he sound most like?
Jones: What kind of a sign would it be if Maye plays a lot but Brissett sits in preseason?
Bad sign, unless he lights it up!
Jones: If Brissett is not even dressed but Maye is starting the game, it would be bad. I am still Homer in the bush, but I am still leaving a tiny sliver of a hope he can get out there week one, but I am sinking into the bush.
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew breaks down some advice given to Drake Maye and the Patriots and talks through Jayson Tatum's Olympics.
First, If they pay Judon, then it will set a bad example. If they trade him, the defense will get worse.
Then, Matt Ryan says that if he were in charge, he would start Drake Maye week one.
Finally, Jayson Tatum is laying bricks in Paris... When will he start making shots again?
Jones: OHH wow, really gotta set our lineup based on the depth of Serbia and South Sudan? You can roll out the next twelve, the twelve after that, then the twelve after that. You can win gold with the Marcus Smarts of the world. Talk about getting bored. I am curious about the Jayson Tatum experience, he looked awful.
Arcand: Wouldn't that be a great experience if he was amazing? It has been embarrassing.
Jones: When is Tatum going to start making shots again? He is laying bricks. You are supposed to be one of the best players in the world.
What is the biggest challenge for Jerod Mayo in his first season?
Jones and Arcand agree it is to develop the Patriots offense, Mego thinks it is the Matthew Judon situation and replicating success on defense.
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego Show with Arcand the crew discusses Patriots training camp, Drake Maye, and the Red Sox who look up at the third wildcard.
First, Jones tells Mego Red Sox Nation does not need her as she says the Patriots have a higher chance to win five games than the Red Sox do at making the post season.
Then, Jones: Maybe I am wrong, but I think they are a playoff team. Cora feels so much more on board this season. That is a big piece. This is a young team. No one is going to be complain. You are winning on talent, not attitude. Cora has shifted lanes a little which is sad and pathetic, but I think it is good for the clubhouse.
Hamster dance bit
Maye in preseason will make some boneheaded play. What do you coach out of him?
Mego: you can coach him out of making cross body throws in the red zone.
Jones: When you start worrying about his mechanics and stuff, I do not want to get in his head, I want to use his raw mental talent.
Arcand: You are hinging a lot on the youngest QB in the league. It is rare
Callahan likes Polk and Baker.
Jones: Brissett is not mobile. Maye is more mobile than Brissett.
Jones asks the Big Q @2:00: what is more likely: The Red Sox making the playoffs or the Patriots winning 5+ games?
Mego: I am going to go with Patriots winning five games. There are two up in the air. Here are the winnable games. You could beat the Bears or the Chargers as well. Their schedule is out of their control. I am sorry Red Sox Nation ™.
Arcand: I thought the Red Sox had to make a big move to make the playoffs, I do not think either will happen, but the more likely scenario is for the Sox to make the playoffs. I am rooting for this to happen, but I can see the Red Sox falling behind, but they do not quit. The Patriots are unknown to me.
Jones: Both of these will happen, but more likely the Sox make the playoffs. It is sooner.

They also had a fat dog.
Arcand: She should vacation somewhere else. This is weird
Jones: I do not think this is weird at all. This is part of their agreement. Who knows what she is entitled to.
Arcand: I do not think she won anything at all!
Did Bill get blackmailed?
In a recent interview, Jerod Mayo challenged the media to be harder on him...
He knows the practices have not been good.
Mego: He was up there fifteen minutes early.
Jones: If you tempt the media to ask bad questions, they will take the challenge.
Also, who are the ones that Drake Maye has not practiced with yet?
Jones: He has not gone up against the top defensive unit, and he has not had the one offensive line. He has not had the chance.
Hour 3 - During the third hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew breaks down the odds that each Patriots QB has to start week one. Also, good friend Jan calls in! She has a lot to say. Colin Cowherd has a take that Joe Milton will start week one for the Patriots. Does the crew buy into that?
Mego: I would be shocked if Joe Milton wins the job over Drake Maye. I would even be surprised if Maye won over Brissett. If Milton beats out both of them, we all will be flabbergasted.
Jones: Backflips!!- Move over Simone Biles! I check in on the Herd religiously.
Time for the Triple Play! Here are the questions:
1 GRADE THE ON-AIR SPAT BETWEEN TITANS DE JEFFREY SIMONDS AND 1045 THE ZONE MIDDAY HOST BUCK REISING ON TUESDAY:
2 GRADE THE IOC'S DECISION TO LET OLYMPIC SWIMMERS SWIM IN THE SEINE
3 GRADE THE 2024 HALL OF FAME CLASS
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew talks Patriots.
First, Mego relays her research on how the press reacted to Josh Allen during his first training camp. She found that it was very similar to the rhetoric spread about Drake Maye during this camp.
Then, Tom E Curran joins the show and says his new nickname for Drake Maye...
NBC Sports Boston's Tom E Curran calls into the Jones and Mego with Arcand show to discuss all things Patriots. He invited Jones to join him in watching practices, discusses Matthew Judon's contract situation, and Drake Maye's progress so far this camp.
Arcand has done his research as to how all rookie QBs in the NFL have been performing so far in training camp. Largely, there are some winners and losers. Maye seems to be having the rockiest start. Is there cause for concern in week one? Yes, says Jones. He is nervous that Maye may not start week one.
Jones: Is it fair to compare Jacoby Brissett with Nathan Peterman during Allen's rookie year?
Mego: I wonder if it will take longer for the Patriots to go to Drake Maye if they just keep going three and out and not throwing pics like what happened to the Bills?
The crew reacts to a weird Bill Belichick welcome video for his new job with Underdog. How many times can he say 'underdog' in a minute? Then, Ryan Garvin goes on a rant in regards to "what has happened to Bill Belichick!!!"
Hour 1 - During this hour of Jones and Mego with Arcand they discuss Drake Maye and the New England Patriots,
First, there is a messaging problem with the Patriots front office and coaching staff. Why did Mayo backtrack his statements about players voicing their opinions to the media?
Then, Jones discusses rookie QBs and which did not pan out vs which did. It is a toss up most of the time. It is always good to give your rookie extra reps.
Finally, is the atmosphere at Fenway Park changing for Red Sox fans? Arcand has a first hand account.
Jones: there has been successful rookie QBs throughout history. There has been a lot of examples of QBs who sat and did not pan out. Mac Jones is a different kind of example, there was a very low ceiling for Mac Jones.He stunk at the end of his rookie year. Baker was unplayable for two years and had to bounce around the league
David in the car asks a doctor related question
You learn way more by doing- Jones would trust the new inexperienced doctor with his surgery rather than the old doctor.
Jones asks the Big Q @2:00: What has been most concerning about the start of Patriots training camp?
Mego says the Judon contract situation has been a huge test for Patriots new front office functionality. It also has been a test for Jerod Mayo. Arcand says the Drake Maye situation is concerning. He has nothing to work with, he says. Jones agrees with Arcand in a different way. He says "people were not high on CJ Stroud last season’s training camp, same with Josh Allen. Not the end all be all, but I believe in the training camp reports when things do not look right. I put stock in this time of year. These early reports on Drake Maye, I am panicking on week one. I have not bent the knee yet. The QB battle is still close, with maybe Brissett winning a little bit."
Jones and Mego with Arcand discuss the future between Matthew Judon and the New England Patriots. Speaking of the Patriots, what is Bill Belichick's newest job during the NFL season?
Alex Cora told Jones and Mego with Arcand what went into his decision to take a shorter term deal with the Red Sox. The show has their own theories as well...
Alex Cora joins Jones and Mego to talk about his input on the trade deadline, how things operated with Craig Breslow, and what went into his three year contract extension.
Today on Jones and Mego with Arcand...
New developments with Matthew Judon and the Patriots
Grading the Red Sox trade deadline
Red Sox manager Alex Cora joins the show
Jones and Mego with Arcand grade Craig Breslow's first trade deadline with the Boston Red Sox. Plus, there is breaking news on Matthew Judon's contract status with the New England Patriots. Could this be the last fans see of Judon?
In this edition of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew talks Red Sox baseball and Patriots football, with some Celtics in the first hour. Here is how it went down!
Hour 1: Arcand will take a shot of maple syrup for every Paxton earned run
Hour 2: Patriots training camp thoughts|Jones feels Maye won't start week 1
Hour 3: We have seen trade deadlines like this one before
Hour 4: An inside look into the relationship of Eliot Wolf and Jerod Mayo
Hour 4 - During the fourth hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew discusses the New England Patriots.
First, some speculation on what the Matthew Judon situation has affected Jerod Mayo and Eliot Wolf's relationship.
Then, Mego seeks some dog advice in Megsplaining.
Here are the crew's picks for Bet Roulette!
Mego: Under 4.5 K’s for Paxton
Jones: Over 10.5 runs in tonight’s Red Sox game
Arcand: Phillies
Mego and Mr. Who let their Siberian Husky Killington into their bed during the day and a recent study conducted stated that all dogs carry dangerous bacteria with them. Mego decides to unpack this during today's Megsplaining. She owes Arcand an apology!
Hour 3 - During the third hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew discusses the Red Sox and the Olympics.
First, Jones says that If we are grading on how much more active the Sox are, they are definitely more active than last season, but that is not saying much.
Then, Rob Bradford joins the show and clarifies which lane he thinks the Red Sox will stay in during the rest of the day.
Finally, Triple Play on the Olympics.
Time for the Triple Play! Here are the questions:
1 TOTAL NUMBER OF HOURS YOU WILL SPEND WATCHING THE OLYMPICS (NOT INCLUDING BASKETBALL) O/U 2.5
2 NUMBER OF PLAYERS THAT WERE TRADED WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT UPGRADES FOR THE RED SOX - O/U 5.5
3 PASSING YARDS IN 2024-5 - DRAKE MAYE O/U CALEB WILLIAMS O/U JAYDEN DANIELS (RANK THEM 1-2-3)
WEEI.com and Baseball isn't Boring's Rob Bradford joins the show! He discusses the deadline, Cora's extension, and how this team relates to Red Sox teams of the past which did not buy at the deadline. He breaks the news that Alex Cora was offered five years before they settled on three.
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand they talk Patriots training camp and Drake Maye.
First, how would you solve the Judon situation?
Then, Another poor day for Maye today, no one had a good day. The issue yesterday was that he had a terrible day. Today, Brissett had some issues with getting the team lined up and ready to go. Jones is beginning to feel as though Maye will not start week one.
Mayo realized that Judon crossed a line and his player first attitude is not working.
Jones: takes a victory lap on his paying bum players take.
Caller kisses Mego and Arcand’s asses, but not Jones.
Mayo does not want to be called a players coach… whats the deal with that?
Jones: Yeah the players can do whatever they want and play all the videogames they want, but they are not allowed to call him a players coach? You’re a players coach, but it does not mean he can’t be a good coach, I do not like his chances.
Arcand argues that it would be malpractice to give Judon a big extension when acting like a diva at training camp.
Jones: This happens to bad orgs. This never happened to Bill, Bill would trade him. Bill did not have dysfunction in the middle of practice. You drew a line in the sand with Judon? What about all these other crappy players. Losing your best player on defense and maybe on the team? Part of the reason he hasn’t gotten paid is because he is representing himself.
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew talks Red Sox and Jayson Tatum's lack of minutes at the Olympics.
First, do the Red Sox have to make a big move to compete for the post-season?
Then, Arcand doubles down on his support for Big Maple James Paxton.
Finally, any new theories as to why Jayson Tatum got benched?
Mego: Everytime Paxton lets up a run, Arcand has to do a shot of maple syrup. What defines real maple syrup?
Jones: if it is from Vermont. Otherwise, fake.
Maple syrup discussion
Jones: I do not get a sense that anyone is excited about the trade deadline, Sims is not that good.
Jones asks the big Q @2:00: do the Red Sox need to make a big move in order to make the post-season?
Mego: YES. Whether that's Flaherty, or Crochet, they need to do it.
Arcand: Yes. They do. In the last two seasons we have done nothing and it did not work out
Jones: Go get a real big league bat to hit lefties. I do not think they need that to make a big move to make the playoffs. We are a very talented team who can outslug any team.
Hour 4 - The trade deadline is rapidly approaching and the Red Sox have yet to make a substantial addition. Arcand explains why he thinks that the front office's credibility hinges on meaningful additions. Mego discusses restaurants requiring reservations in Megsplaining. Finally, Jones, Mego, and Arcand cook up a +500 parlay for tonight's MLB slate.
SEGMENT - Jones, Mego, and Arcand make their picks for tonight's slate of baseball games, including the Red Sox big matchup against the Mariners.
SEGMENT - In today's edition of Megsplaining, Mego talks about restaurants with ridiculous wait times and the need for reservations ruining the spontaneity of dining out.
Hour 3 - Drake Maye had a second consecutive bad practice, why Jones is starting to worry about his chances to start week one. Is Jerod Mayo allowing players to walk all over him? Are the Red Sox going to make a meaningful move before tomorrow's deadline? Finally, a buy or sell Monday edition of Triple Play!.
SEGMENT - It's a buy or sell Monday edition of Triple Play! Do you buy Steve Kerr's excuse for not playing Tatum? Will Matthew Judon play for the Patriots this season? Hear Jones and Mego's thoughts on that and more.
SEGMENT - One thing is clear from the first week of Patriots Training Camp, this is no longer the Bill Belichick Patriots. Matthew Judon and Jerod Mayo appeared to get into a heated conversation at practice today, do players feel like they can walk all over Mayo?
Hour 2 - The trade deadline is 26 hours away and the Red Sox have yet to make a meaningful move. What made Alex Cora change course on contract talks and what does that mean for the future of the Red Sox?
SEGMENT - After months of saying he didn't want to talk about his contract during the season Alex Cora signed a three year extension last month. What made Cora change his mind? Does this signal that the big spending Sox are back?
SEGMENT - The Red Sox have made three deals so far ahead of tomorrow's trade deadline. Why Jones, Mego, and Arcand think these moves have yet to move the needle.
Hour 1 - Matthew Judon and Jerod Mayo had an animated conversation on the field during practice today, do you like Mayo's different approach to coaching? Drake Maye struggles for the second straight practice? Is it time to start worrying about the rookie QB? Finally, Jayson Tatum didn't play in Team USA's first Olympic game and Mego thinks he should feel disrespected.
SEGMENT - Jayson Tatum did not play in Team USA's first Olympic game and Mego is fired up about.
SEGMENT - Jones, Mego, and Arcand kick off today's show with the Big Q @ 2: Are you a fan of Jerod Mayo's approach. Arcand is a fan of the new look coaching after 20 years of Bill Belichick, but Jones is not so quick to embrace it.
Hour 4. Is Jerod Mayo ready to be a head coach? Callers weigh in. Jayson Tatum dives into his relationship with Jaylen Brown. Meg'Splaining: Relationship roundtable Friday! Bet Roulette!
Hour 3. Big Q revisit: How confident are you that Craig Breslow and the Red Sox will be big buyers at the deadline? Callers share their thoughts. Have you ever tried prison wine? Triple play: Fill in the blank Friday!
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Mego, Travis, and Arcand show the crew breaks down Jerod Mayo's press conference from today. All angles are looked at.
First, why not pay Judon?
Secondly, it appears that the Patriots do not want to pay their veterans. Wonder how that will work out in the locker room.
Finally, Jerod Mayo lacks "coach speak." How will that impact his tenure?
Arcand's Jerod Mayo quote of the day is when he said the defense will always be ahead of the offense. What does he mean by that?
Travis: you just need your offense to NOT SUCK. I understand where he was coming from, but he has no coach speak. Try to give props, but also say we just need our offense to be good enough, and with the defense, we have a chance to be good. I am anti defensive head coaches.
Mego: He is trying to say there is no foundation for the offense. No one will make the top 100 list.
Jerod Mayo wants his players to be super honest with the media, almost wanting them to talk through the media AT HIM.
Mego: Mayo will not be ok with that at the end. No head coach would be ok with that.
Travis: Bill was rough around the edges with the media, but the players loved him. There were sides to him that no one sees. Is this the opposite with Mayo?
This locker room better be the happiest in NFL history
The Patriots have the money to pay everyone. Distribute this money to everyone. Especially Judon. They are favoring young good players over Judon. I do understand if they are thinking that he is older with an injury history, but at the same time, you can give him a short term deal and give him the cash he wants.
Mego; you can’t even point to the continuity for this stuff. This is not enough!
Travis: Addition by subtraction. They are going to figure something out.
Tua contract reactions. Arcand makes a Hawk Tuah reference.
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Travis, Mego, and Arcand show, the crew talks Sox.
First, Arcand asks the Big Q @2:00: How confident are you that Craig Breslow and the Red Sox will be big buyers at the deadline?
Then, Travis talks about how Netflix could influence the Red Sox to spend at the deadline.
Finally, things are not going to be any easier for this team...
Arcand: hardest schedule in the league.
Carl gives the most positive call of the season.
Arcand: You do not just want Cora to be comfy, you want to win baseball games.
Has ownership lied? Breslow may have lied on a videocall with season ticket holders.
All of us felt like this season was going to be a wash. Think of this as a Netflix special. This team is a far cry from where they used to be. Then the story begins, having fun and winning games, and Alex Cora is leading the train. This is awesome drama. They will be buyers, they will make the post season. Netflix plays a huge role in the decisions that the team is making this season. Ownership does not want to look like real A-holes!
The fans do NOT share the optimism that Travis, Mego, and Arcand have.
Mego: it is important to say what it means to be a big buyer.
Travis: will the continue to make moves like this Paxton one? If it is smaller non-sexy moves with a good personality, it can help the team go on a run. I am willing to mortgage the future a little bit for Eovaldi or someone like that to make a reunion.
Arcand: Their top three prospects are all in the top thirty in the MLB.
Mego: there is still plenty of other prospects that you can trade. I get saying the top three are not touchable. Other than that, I do not care. Look at the returns for Arozarena and Puck.
How confident are you that Craig Breslow and the Red Sox will be big buyers at the deadline? Arcand asks in the Big Q @2:00. Mego, Travis, and Arcand himself are very determined that the Red Sox are going to spend big at the deadline. This recent Paxton move could be the tip of the iceberg!
Arcand: I am confident too. They gave up nothing for Paxton. He does not suck. Writing him off off as garbage is dumb.
Mego: Is this any risk?
Arcand: NO!
Mego: You are bringing him in because he was out there. Time for more!
Today's show was all about the Cora contract extension, Patriots day two of training camp, Reese McGuire vs Cal Quantrill, and Craig Breslow vs Sam Kennedy.
Hour 1: The Cora extension and what it means for the Sox moving forward
Hour 2: Gresh loves Keion White | Clunky second practice | Kennedy's remark

Then, Mego brings a news story about pickleball to light. Is it "traumatizing?"
Finally, they give their locks of the night on Bet Roulette!
Time for Meg'splaining! Today, Mego talks about a news story about the noise that pickleball can create for a suburban community. The crew is in agreement that these people are complaining too much. Embrace it!
Fitzy talks about which Patriots wide receivers did not quite impress him so far at training camp. Where does their wide receiver core rank in the NFL? What about their secondary?
Then, Arcand finally speaks on how he thinks he got his ear infection.
Hour 3 - During the third hour of the Mego, Arcand, and Fitzy show (Jones out today), the crew breaks down the Red Sox president Sam Kennedy's recent statement to Chris Cotillo of MassLive. Fitzy calls him Mr. Buzzkillington, and refers to Breslow as El Bresidente. Also, Triple Play!
Fitzy: Cora would not have signed the contract if he did not believe the Sox would be competitive. Managers were disappointed that he stayed with the Red Sox because it would have reset the market. Why does Kennedy force himself into every single situation. He is a buzzkill.
Time for the Triple Play! Here are today's questions on this report card Thursday:1 GRADE THE CAL QUANTRIL/REESE MCGUIRE CONFRONTATION

Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Arcand, Fitzy, and Mego show, the crew breaks down Gresh's interactions with Keion White at Patriots training camp, Fitzy gives the rundown on how the Patriots looked... he said it was not great, and then Arcand speaks about Sam Kennedy's recent walk back of his GM's comments.
In this segment, we head to the phones! First, Steve in Fall river comes at Arcand for not supporting everything Sam Kennedy has ever said. What a shill for ownership.
Also, Mego, Arcand, and Fitzy break down the fight between the Sox and the Rockies yesterday. Will Flemming had some interesting real time analysis during the game.
Sam Kennedy has walked back Craig Breslow's statement from yesterday in which he said he would look for right handed bats and an arm at the trade deadline. Arcand, Fitzy, and Mego are furious. Every time something good is said by Breslow, master of walk backs, Sam Kennedy ruins it for everyone. Mego: Did Breslow get too happy?
NBC Sports Boston's Tom E Curran calls into the show to break down what Fitzy described as a "clunky" second day of Patriots training camp. Topics discussed include the Judon contract situation, Jerod Mayo's culture, and the QB competition between Maye and Brissett.
Hour 1 - What does the Alex Cora extension mean for the trade deadline? How will it impact the future? Mego thinks that it will not have too massive of an impact for this season, but will effect the culture of the future, especially with top prospects in line to join the team in the next two years.
Then, what is up with the starting pitching? It seems to have fallen off a cliff. It is necessary to upgrade this roster.
Finally, Arcand and Mego break down the Reese McGuire fight in Colorado. What went down?
There was some dredging up of past actions committed by Reese McGuire of the Boston Red Sox yesterday during their game against the Rockies. Mego and Arcand break down what exactly happened and how it could be a spark for the Sox.
Arcand asks the Big Q @2:00: What do you make of Alex Cora's extension?
Mego is really excited about it. She has taken the bait, but nothing would make her more excited than a few moves at the trade deadline. "Feels different. I am in on this. Not gonna make a huge difference this year, but still a big culture shift," she said.
Arcand feels cautiously optimistic, "You can tell Cora gets the team going! In terms of the value a manager can add to a team, he is up there with the best of them. I am worried the Red Sox are going to say that is the biggest move we are going to make," he said.

First, Jones and Arcand debate what is a sport while talking Patriots wide receivers and Drake Maye. Then, Jayson Tatum's attitude going into the Olympics vs Joe Mazzulla. Finally, the crew gives their picks in Bet Roulette!
Here are the picks from Bet Roulette tonight!
Mego: -1.5 Red Sox
Jones: 10.5 over runs Sox Oakland
Arcand: Mets
+566 odds
Time for Megsplaining! Today, Mego brings up a junkyard in southern California. There is a family next door to the junkyard that keeps trying to get it taken away by the police. Jones and Arcand are determined to catch this family in a lie. They do not feel bad for her at all, even though they live directly next to a dump that they cannot get rid of.
Hour 3 - During the third hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew discusses the Celtics, Bruins, and Red Sox. First, revisiting the Big Q @2:00: What kind of future owner do you prefer for the Celtics? Then, Rob Bradford joins the show to break down his outlook on John Henry and the Red Sox going into the trade deadline. Finally, Triple Play! On USA basketball and Swayman's AAV.
Time for Triple Play! Today is over under Tuesday. Here are the questions:
1 HOME RUNS ON THE SEASON FOR RAFAEL DEVERS O/U 39.5 (CURRENTLY ON PACE FOR 38)
2 JEREMY SWAYMAN AAV WILL BE O/U 8 MIL PER YEAR
3 HOW MANY GAMES WILL TEAM USA LOSE IN THE OLYMPICS THIS YEAR? O/U .5 LOSSES (THEIR LOSS TO FRANCE IN THE 2020 PRELIMS BROKE A 25 GAME OLYMPIC WIN STERAK)
Rob Bradford calls into the Jones and Mego show with Arcand to discuss the Red Sox owner John Henry refusing to talk about the team and more.
Hour 2 - during the second hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew begins by talking about Drake Maye and the New England Patriots. Will Drake Maye start week one is still up for debate. Curran compared Maye to Bledsoe, so Jones says week one should be on the table. Then, congratulations to the Patriots for signing the 24th ranked running back in the league, Rhamondre Stevenson! Finally, what did Craig Breslow say to Chris Cotillo yesterday? Jones wants the sox to "fake buy" at the deadline.
Not actually. Why are the Patriots spending money on these people!
also, the Arcand v Jones Olympic debate.
Since professional players played for the US, they have won every time except for 2004.
Jones: I bet they put 60% of effort in every game.
Arcand: they have to put in actual effort and play hard.
Jones: I doubt that.
Mego: I am the Temu radio personality.
Is it fair to compare 1993 Drew Bledsoe to Drake Maye? Jones says yes, but he would frown and say meh if Maye ended up in a similar career path. He needs to start week one, especially if we are going with this comparison because Bledsoe started week one! If the roster is too dysfunctional to start Maye week one, how can you play him in week 7, 8 or 9?
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew takes a look at the pieces of the puzzle that is the Celtics sale. Originally, Wyc Grousbeck was presumed to be the face of the team, with all the money. Then, he went on a show yesterday on CNBC to clear the air. Jones: there is some urgency to correct the record. You think all these owners have lied about what they will do. Wyc lied that he was running the Celtics for 22 years. Then, looking at Jayson Tatum's attitude towards basketball right after winning the championship.
To start off, the crew reacts to Shaq saying that the Celtics had an easy path to the championship.
Mego: No. They were the best team in the NBA. Let’s not punish the Celtics. Don’t discredit the championship.
Jones: They have to do it again.
Jones: Foregone conclusion they are going to win. I hate Tatum’s approach here. I do not want them to be fat and happy.
What kind of future owner do you prefer for the Celtics? Why did Wyc lie about his position with the Celtics? Jones is frustrated.
Jones: there is some urgency to correct the record. You think all these owners have lied about what they will do. Wyc lied that he was running the Celtics for 22 years.
Mego: Wyc looks like a fraud
This edition of the Jones and Mego show was mostly focused on the Red Sox scorching last few weeks!
Hour 1: Time for the Red Sox to make moves to make roster even better
Hour 2: Cora can manage young talent | Wyc's Celtics share | Extend Swayman
Hour 3: Jones takes his victory lap as Red Sox are nine games over .500
Hour 4: Be prepared for a bidding war for the Celtics
Hour 4 - During the fourth hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew first dives into Wyc Grousbeck's appearance on the Closing Bell today. He seems to know that the Celtics are going to cost a lot of money for someone to buy, and he will not be giving Pags a hometown discount...
Then, Megsplaining takes an interesting turn to discuss a topic concerning the gym and attention spans.
Here are the crew's picks for Bet Roulette!
Mego: -1.5 Guardians
Jones: Reds -1.5
Ryan: Twins -1.5
A continuation of the raw dogging conversation. Jones may be taking back his pledge to rawdog a flight... coward. Mego brings up Rawdogging a workout. Jones rawdogs his runs every day, Mego brings her phone into the shower for constant stimulation. She also listens to WAP on her runs.
This probably eliminates Pagliuca from buying
Jones: He is on set on CNBC. He is showing up on set to do this. Set the record straight, he is putting in a lot of effort here.
Mego: He says it is his family’s decision to sell, not his share.
Jones performs his angsty teen Wyc impression
Mego: this is bring in the money, not sell to my friends!
Pags is allowed to put in a bid! How cute!
Hour 3 - during the third hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew discusses the Red Sox, sports movies, and competitive eating.
First, a restate of the Big Q @2:00: how far will the Red Sox go this season.
Then, Jones takes his victory lap after Ryan plays a montage of him buying in after game number one.
Finally, is competitive eating a sport in Triple Play!
Time for Triple Play! Today is buy or sell Monday. Here are the questions:
- ALEX CORA IS THE AL MANAGER OF THE YEAR
- 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND IS THE BEST HOLIDAY WEEKEND
- COMPETITIVE EATING IS A SPORT
Lou Merloni said the other day he would not mind trading a top five prospect for a bat or an arm that would really help the team.
Jones: No one is saying trade Marcelo Mayer. I wonder if Lou knows they are open to it. You can’t trade prospect 11?? I get it your job is different, but you and Cora seem to not be on the same page (Breslow).
Then an old man calls in and debates Mego on her favorite sports movie.
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew discusses the Red Sox, the Bruins, and the sale of the Celtics.
First, Mego states that she had her doubts about Cora managing the new Red Sox talent. He has exceeded her wildest expectations!
Then, John Henry don't pay that way, the crew is highly doubtful that Henry will buy the Celtics, phew!
Finally, what is the deal with Jeremy Swayman and his lack of an extension?
Bruins and Swayman did not elect to go to arbitration!
Jones: I have to think this is a good thing. The fact that they will continue to negotiate.
Mego: this screams they are negotiating in good faith. Arbitration is an ugly process. They have enough money to pay him. What are they haggling over right now?
Jones: this is about bonus structure, NTC, not AAV.
Mego: maybe there is more to the AAV. They could be not in the same league.
Jones: Why did he not elect to take them to arbitration?
There will most likely be a bidding war to see who buys the Celtics. Who will come out on top? Fenway Sports Group? Steve Pagliuca? Jeff Bezos? Jones is very nervous about Pags losing the bidding war to a billionaire with more money than anyone. He and Mego also agree that Kraft and Henry should NOT be involved!
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew breaks down the Red Sox series with the New York Yankees.
First, How far can the Red Sox get this year? And a breakdown of Buster Olney's comments on if the Red Sox will buy or sell at the deadline.
Then, does this past weekend motivate the Red Sox to buy at the deadline? Or at least it persuades the front office not to sell. Also, Mathswine's prank call.
First off, Jones wants all the Sox fans coming out of the woodwork to celebrate the wins against the Yankees to know that you guys are the real pink hat fans. Non committal!
Does this get ownership’s attention?
Mego: I do not know how invested ownership actually is in this team.
Jones; Don’t you think ownership cares about Yankees Sox?
Mego: I do not know at this point.
Jones: the win on Friday and yesterday makes me feel a bit better. Regular season Sox Yankees are different usually, but there was a little more juice in this one. Verdugo is an ass-clown.
How far can the Red Sox get this year?
Mego: ALDS. I do not think they are an ALCS contender right now. We have seen them play good baseball recently. What is different is that they are young, dumb, and full of energy
Jones: I think they can go into the world series. (Jones puts on his pink hat) Teams can come out of no where and make it like the Rangers and the Diamondbacks. Casas’ return is significant. They can do it. They are capable. A lot of all stars. Pink hat fan! Everyone who is high on the team now is a pink hat fan. I bet them to win 90 games in April!
OWNERSHIP CANNOT SELL AT THE DEADLINE!!!
Today the show was all about the Red Sox, the Celtics, and had some Patriots and movie talks throughout!

First, who is Travis Thomas's dark horse to buy the Celtics and how would it make history?
Then, Megsplaining! On summer movies.
Finally, Travis's betting advice
No bet roulette today, but Travis has some betting advice for you! Red Sox are winning this series. Take that bet for plus money!
Time for Megsplaining! Today Mego discusses summer blockbusters from the past. From the Dark Knight to Barbie.
Hour 3 - during the third hour of the Mego and Travis show, the crew first discussed whether they would rather be at a pool or at the beach. Travis tells some funny stories about when he tried to learn to swim.
Then, Chris Cotillo calls in on his way to the Bronx to discuss the Red Sox.
Finally, Triple Play! Which food would you replace hotdogs with on July 4th.

I would replace hotdogs with ___ on July fourth
I have a ___ interest level in the Summer Olympics
Chris Cotillo, Red Sox beat reporter for MassLive joins the Mego and Travis show to discuss the road ahead, Alex Cora's greedy comment, and whether or not the Yankees will get hot again.
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Mego and Travis show the crew talks Celtics and Patriots.
First, how much of the Celtics does Wyc even own?
Then, addressing Tom E Curran's Drake Maye prediction which said he would struggle.
Finally, who would you have in your Patriots WR room?
Tom E Curran says that Drake Maye could look really rough
Better? Still not good!
Travis the CFB junkie watched every snap of Drake Maye comes into the league after being under fire all season with UNC. He took hard hits!
Is it fair to compare Mac Jones to Drake Maye?
New report says that Celtics owner Wyc may only own 2% of the Celtics
Pagliuca has 8 percent stake. Henry hates paying luxury tax, so count him out!
Travis says these are rich people things! Travis: this feels like Pagliuca is going to be the guy to own the Celtics
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the DMV show, or the Mego and Travis show, the crew breaks down the Red Sox and the Celtics.
First, Mego poses the Big Q @2:00: The Red Sox are in the third Wild Card spot and set to face the flailing Yankees. What are your expectations for the team going forward?
Then, they talk Celtics and the Eastern Conference as a whole.
Mego is surprised that ESPN took a break from talking about Bronny James, so we had to grab it. Unless it is a segment about how cringe Tatum is, ESPN never talks Celtics. The Knicks are trying, the Sixers are trying, the Bucks never get any airtime
Are The Sixers any good, Joel will get hurt with the wind! Magic could be good.
Travis says all teams in the East got better. He wants to see the Celtics get challenged. The future scares Mego with the Celtics. Player contract numbers only go up.
Mego and Travis today! They begin the show by breaking down the Red Sox and how well they've been playing.
Also, since they are both from the DMV area, some discussion on what that means to them and how Travis got his start.
Today's show was mainly focused on Alex Cora's relationship with the Red Sox, Bruin's coach Jim Montgomery, and Jayson Tatum's reaction to Wyc's proposal to sell the team.
Hour 1: Jones values upgraded lineup more than Cora| New Celtics owner odds
Hour 2: Did the Patriots whiff on their 37th overall wide receiver?
Hour 3: Bear vs Shark | Bello struggles | First move as Celtics owner?
Hour 4: A farewell to Fajitas and Ritas
Time for Megsplaining! Today Mego asks you what old Boston restaurant would you revive? There are a lot of options. Also, Mego wants you to know she loves TexMex.
Hour 3 - During the third hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew has an argument on which animal is more dangerous: sharks or bears?
They are in agreement, BEAR.
Then, what is going on with Bello? Will his contract bite the Red Sox in the wrong way?
Finally, Ryan asks what Jones and Mego's first move as the Celtics owner would be.
Time for Triple Play! Today, Ryan is in charge as it was too sunny for Arcand to come to work. Questions are as follows:
First executive order as owner of the Celtics?
What would you buy with Celtics money after selling the team?
Most overrated aspect of fourth of July?
First, it seems as if Cora is a standings man and Breslow is a Fangraphs playoff odds guy. How does this impact their relationship?
Jones: Let’s say you have a choice spend on talent or Cora, I choose talent.
And an analysis of Brayan Bello and how his path was shifted by confidence issues.
Finally, shark or bear?
Hour 2 - This hour of Jones and Mego was about the Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox, and the Patriots.
First, not to worry, the Sixers do NOT scare Jones, even with Paul George.
Then, Alex Cora calls in. He discusses a myriad of topics concerning the Red Sox.
Finally, after some Bruins talk, Mego and Jones voice their anxieties about the Patriots wide receiver room.
There is a "schmall" amount of beef between Jim Montgomery and Don Sweeney right now after Sweeney's recent media appearance he appeared to throw some shade at his coach.
Mego: there is friction for sure.
Jones: He goes at Sweeney, Sweeney goes back at Monty. No different than Cora, lame duck coach.
Mego: I do not think he disagrees with Monty, but he is not quoting in good faith. Monty said you can’t win every gane two one, I agree more with Monty.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora calls into the Jones and Mego show to discuss the team during their newest hot streak. Topics discussed include playoff odds, a struggling Bello, and how concerned he is for the Red Sox rotation despite their high innings numbers.
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show without Arcand, the crew gets into the Sox and the Celtics sale.
First, Jones firmly states that even though Cora has gotten as much as he possibly can, it matters more that the Sox upgrade their lineup. Mego disagrees.
Then, reacting to the Celtics next owner odds. Who's it gonna be?
Will it be the Fenway Sports Group? Larry Ellison? Jeremy Jacobs? Mego says that if it is Jacobs, get ready for a million second round exits! If it is Henry... that would suck.
Also, Tatum was "shocked" about Wyc's intentions to sell. Let's unpack that. Did he know before everyone else?
Who would the players get mad at if the Red Sox sell. There is no one to get mad at because Henry is somewhere else and none of the players even know Breslow.
Ryan: Is Alex Cora the biggest reason the Red Sox are adding any free agents?
Jones: So far, he has gotten the most out of his roster, but they still need to upgrade.
Jones doubles down on his take: the most important thing for the Red Sox to do is to upgrade the roster.
Jones asks the Big Q @2:00: How important is it for the Red Sox to bring back Alex Cora next season?
Mego: Very, throw him the bag. Especially if the team continues to perform like this, regardless of what happens, if they get another piece or if they sell, if they keep this kind of athletic baserunning and defense and hot bats, I think that it is enough to earn Cora a bit of a raise.
Jones follows up by saying if Henry signs Cora, he would be a little more confident in the Sox as a whole.
Today's show was mostly focused on the sale of the Boston Celtics and NHL free agency
Hour 1: Who is going to buy the Boston Celtics?
Hour 2: What is Wolf's rush to sign these random players like Tavai?
Hour 3: Luxury Tax discussion | Bradfo on Henry | Who will finish contract in Boston?
Hour 4: Sweeney cannot keep eating into the "Swayman Fund"
Time for Meg'Splaining! Today, Mego gives a step-by-step guide on how to be safe when getting tattoos.
35% of tattoo ink is contaminated with bacteria.
This is important to be because 32% of US adults have tattoos.
Jones; that is a low number.
Arcand: seems about right. I have one tattoo.
Mego: Ryan, do you have a tattoo?...
There is ten million dollars left in Bruins cap space. If they spend two million more they will be fine, but anything else puts the Bruins in danger of losing their starter.
Arcand: I am freaking out. Most of the season into the playoffs I think the second fiddle dynamic is coming back with Swayman. It is poor planning.
Hour 3 - during the third hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew breaks down the luxury tax of the NBA and how many times Wyc and the Celtics have gone over it.
Then, Bradfo joins the show and gives some color to the argument that John Henry may buy the Celtics. He probably will not.
Finally, over/under Tuesday on Triple Play!
Time for Triple Play! Here are the questions on this over under Tuesday:
1 HOW MANY OF THE CELTICS CURRENT STARTING 5 WILL FINISH OUT THEIR CONTRACTS IN BOSTON O/U 3.5
2 HOW MANY PRO BOWLERS WILL THE PATRIOTS HAVE THIS YEAR O/U 0.5 (0 LAST YEAR, 1 IN 2022 -JUDON, 4 IN 2021 - SLATER/MAC/JUDON/JACKSON)
3 HOW MUCH WILL THE WYC'S STAKE IN THE CELTICS SELL FOR? O/U 5.2 BILLION
WEEI.com's Rob Bradford joins Jones and Mego to break down the Red Sox and John Henry and how people have said he wants to buy an NBA franchise.
Other topics discussed include recent Red Sox pitching struggles, the away fans at Fenway, and the futures game.
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew talks Bruins and Patriots.
First, it would be a total disaster to not re-sign Swayman and evaluating the Bruins roster. Do they have enough to make a cup push? Jones thinks so!
Then, Jones: What is the rush to pay these random guys now. Couldn’t you have used that money to extend Calvin Ridley? There should be urgency to upgrade the offense.
This segment starts with Sweeney saying that Lindholm could be a replacement for Bergeron. Jones follows up by saying, " I thought no one could replace Bergeron? Interesting."
Then, a texter calls them donkeys for suggesting that Swayman gets paid.
Mego: You don’t pay goalies I guess
Jones: he is capable of being the full time starter. Who’s fault is that? Maybe this was always part of their process. I will pay eight million dollars for him.
The top priority of Don Sweeney's offseason should have been to extend Jeremy Swayman. However, he seems to be avoiding contract negotiations and questions surrounding them.
Jones: I am still confident they will sign Swayman, but my confidence shrinks every day. I am nervous when I hear Sweeney talk about Swayman. He seems to be avoiding it. It could be ugly with arbitration.
Why would you not take care of this earlier.
Arcand: Every Bruins goalie is Mookie Betts
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew discusses the Boston Celtics franchise and who will spend the money on the team.
Will it be the Saudis? Or John Henry and FSG? Or Robert Kraft? No one seems to know who exactly will spend the six billion necessary to purchase the historic franchise.
It is looking more and more like it will be a casino owner who will pull the trigger.
No one knows who is going to buy the Celtics.
Jones: Used to call it a public trust, now it is a math equation. He is just looking to make a buck. For all the flowers we gave you, now he is just as good as John Henry. We were all saying that he was the best, now not so much.
The next owner could be worse.
Jones asks the Big Q @2;00: Describe your emotions towards Wyc Grousbeck right now:
Jones is angry, Mego is somewhere in between happy and angry, and Arcand is happy with his parade.
Jones: In the meantime, two weeks after you win a championship, you are gonna sell the team? I understand the anger and frustration and bitterness. If it is John Henry, look out! He is being linked to buying the Celtics. Is Kraft going to get in there? Are the Saudis getting involved? I understand that fans are frustrated right now.

Are the Knicks a threat to the Celtics next season? Who are the title contenders in the East? Jones can be convinced to think Milwaukee, but he is out on Philly. No one is scared of Philly. Hart: This Knicks trade adds a legit contender to the East, the Knicks are a really interesting team that could challenge the Celtics.
Arcand says the Knicks are a really deep team as well.
Then, a discussion on super stars in the NBA. Jones and Hart convince each other that Jaylen Brown is a super star.
Hour 1: Jones asks the Big Q @2:00: 82 games into the season, will the Red Sox be a playoff team? Jones says yes, he is bought in, but they also should add and be greedy as Alex Cora said. Andy Hart, filling in for Mego today, says he does not like to look at the standings so early in the season. Arcand says not yet, unless they add at the trade deadline.
An hour of Red Sox discussion.
When asked about his relationship with Alex Cora and whether or not he wants to extend Alex Cora, Craig Breslow worked his way around an answer. He never said that he has a good relationship with Cora, but that the relationship is "growing." As usual, Jones thinks the puppeteer is ownership from behind the curtain. A discussion on the future of the Boston Red Sox manager position.
Will the Red Sox continue the heater into the playoffs? Hart does not think so, as he is filling in for Mego. There is a difference between being " in the mix" and being a playoff team. He wants the Sox to be a first place team, not just a third place in the division team. That should not be the goal. Greed is the key. Breslow has to go out and upgrade the roster at the deadline if the Sox want to make a splash in the post season.

2 WILL WE EVER SEE AN NBA TEAM COME BACK FROM 3-0 IN THE PLAYOFFS?
3 WHAT AMOUNT OF MONEY WOULD IT TAKE FOR YOU TO SELL YOUR TWITTER ACCOUNT A'LA DOV KLEIMAN?
NBC Sports Boston's Brian Scalabrine calls into the Jones and Mego show with Arcand to discuss the Boston Celtics and their path to the NBA Finals in 2024.

3 BUY OR SELL - MOTHER'S DAY AND FATHER'S DAY ARE EQUAL HOLIDAYS
Don Sweeney had a bizarre media availability session today. He finger wagged at the media, said that paying a fine was his biggest fear, and said nothing on the Bruins stance on the bogus goal call from yesterday. He proved that he is more worried about Jeremy Jacob’s money than sparking the team.
Also, if Brad Marchand did what Sam Bennett did, would Bruins fans be calling for a suspension?
Hour 2 - The second hour of the Jones and Mego show was about the Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots. First, Jones urges the Bruins to take a body on their way out by hitting Sam Bennet, the new villain of Boston.
Then, is Jayson Tatum dominant? No one on this show thinks so! Mego says, "He is supposed to be a face of the NBA. He is shooting poorly. He is not playing up to the standard that we expect."
Finally, Jones speaks on the Patriots QB competition between Drake Maye, Jacoby Brissett, and Joe Milton. Don't take TOO much stock in rookie camp!
Jones is growing frustrated by Jayson Tatum's answers to the media recently. He says he dominates and that no one watches the actual games. HE IS NOT DOMINATING. I would not use that word for him. Mitchell has been more dominant.
Arcand: He has to bring back his slithery moves to the hole with the ball.
Mego: Is it bad to say that Tatum’s shooting percentage is way down this playoff run? You cannot shoot the ball, that is the problem. It is irritating to me.
Jones: The Bruins are done, but I want them to send some messages to the Panthers on the way out.
Mego: The Bruins are finished.
Arcand: The Bruins still have some fight left in them.

How much the players feel that is unknown at this point. Will he give the team too much rope? This is his first time coaching." Then, a Pastrňák vs Tkachuck fight breakdown: was it worth it? Finally, the crew reacts to the Luka press conference that was interrupted by some porn.
A reaction to the viral moment from last night's Dallas Mavericks press room. Someone was watching inappropriate videos on their laptop during the post game press conference. Then, it would be embarrassing if McAvoy was out of gas at this point in the playoffs. Listen for Hart, Arcand, and Mego's reactions to a silly media slip-up.

Hour 1 - The first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand was all about the Celtics loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. First, are the Celtics a superteam? Mego says no, but Andy Hart and Arcand say yes, but that is no excuse to lose that badly to a team like the Cavs. Then, a discussion on the Washburn v Mazzulla press conference duel that took place post game. Finally, Hart says that Tatum has to put on his big boy pants and carry this team like he is supposed to if he wants to be the next Kobe.
More reactions to the Celtics 25 point loss last night.
Mego: The matchups were awful. Jayson and Jaylen got exposed on defense.
Hart: Everything went wrong.
Arcand: We see this every year. They get stuck in this routine and believe their own hype. They are not playing till the whistle.
Andy Hart, Mego, and Arcand break down the big Q at 2:00: Are the Celtics a superteam? Jayson Tatum had quite the answer in his post game press conference last night in which he complained about people on TV calling the Celtics are a superteam. Mego thought it was a bitchy answer. She also said absolutely not, the Celtics are not a superteam. Arcand and Andy think that the Celtics could be a superteam, but what even is a superteam, anyway?

It is time for Bet Roulette! The parlay hit yesterday! Here are the picks:
Mego: Braves -1.5
Jones: Under 5.5 Bruins Panthers
Arcand: 7.5 strikeouts under for Chris Sale
Eliot Wolf has his new title! Is it a good one... no! Not the general manager, not the president of football ops, but the Executive Vice President of Football Operations. Jones: The word executive is unnecessary. Who is the president?
Mego: I have no idea.
Jones has an idea of who the president is and his last name starts with a K...
Then, Jones and Arcand yell at each other about movie remakes during Megsplaining.
Hour 3 - The third hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew breaks down the Boston Celtics through many lenses. First, through the lens of the Cavaliers, who cannot seem to find a way to beat the Celtics. Even Brian Scalabrine, who joined the show during this hour agrees that the Cavs are toast. Finally, the hour ends with Triple Play. Would you sacrifice having Jrue if it meant that Derrick White would leave? Jones, Mego, and Arcand agree that they would rather have Derrick White.
Time for Triple Play! Here are today's questions:
1 IF THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP DERRICK WHITE WAS TO TRADE JRUE HOLIDAY WOULD YOU DO IT?
2 WHERE DOES 2018 RANK FOR ALL TIME RED SOX STARTING ROTATIONS? (SALE/PRICE/PORCELLO/POMERANZ/EOVALDI)
3 DRAKE OR KENDRICK?
NBC Sports Boston's Brian Scalabrine joins the Jones and Mego show with Arcand to discuss his thoughts on the Celtics during the second round. Scal: I was struggling on the post game show. You can’t really elaborate on what we did, it was anything we wanted. There's no compelling breakdown for this series. He also talks about Jayson Tatum's inefficient shooting and the threat of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Hour 2 - The second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand started with a continuation of the Big Q @2:00: How far can the Celtics go without better performances from Jayson Tatum? Then, is Eliot Wolf a fall guy for Robert Kraft? Jones thinks so and as does Arcand. Jones also thinks with all the dialogue about the QB competition that Drake Maye will win and start week one. Finally, is there goalie rotation drama between Swayman, coach Monty, Ullmark, and the science bitches?
A discussion on the Patriots QB room from last season and what it will look like this season. Last year it was awkward. Will Drake Maye be good enough to elevate the mid-level talent on the New England Patriots? Also, will Caedan Wallace be moved to left tackle? Sure, he has practiced on the left, but that was in college and he never did it in games. Arcand thinks the offense is going to take it slow this season, not testing anyone too much and that the offensive line will be worse than last season.
First, during a discussion about Jayson Tatum and his passenger status for the Celtics Mego's phone starts calling people around the station. Do we care that Tatum "almost" had a triple double last night? Then, Jones says that the Krafts are hiding behind Eliot Wolf all without even giving him a position on the team. What will his title be after all these sham interviews making a mockery of the Rooney rule? Also, a call from Brandon in Boston in which he refuses to talk about his gaming habits.
Hour 1 - The first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand was mainly focused on the Boston Celtics. First, The Celtics do what we all expected last night. Jones didn't expect White to stay locked in as much as he has been. This series is over before it started. Jones, Mego, and Arcand do not have the Cavs winning any games. One game in they feel like it is a giant waste of time. Bring on New York already. Then an interview with Alex Cora in which he gets into the pitching rotation and how far away it is from being at full strength. Finally, what on earth is up with Mego's phone?
Alex Cora calls into the Jones and Mego show with Arcand to talk Red Sox. He Listen to hear how Cora feels about the Red Sox home record, the rest of the league picking up on their pitching tendencies, and the lineup for tonight.
Jones asks the big Q @2:00: How far can the Celtics go without better performances from Jayson Tatum? We are talking about the lack of efficiency. 41% from field and worse from three. The same thing we have talked about in the past. When Derrick White is not knocking down seven threes a game Tatum is going to stand out more. Jones: It is very rare for a team’s best player to get carried in the playoffs. I think he is pressing, science bitches will say he is due, but I do not. Everyone agrees in order for the Celtics to win, he has to be the best player on the floor, not a passenger.
Today the Jones and Mego show with Arcand talked Pats, Bruins, Red Sox, and Celtics.
Hour 1: The Bruins looked really good last night. Can they win the cup?
Hour 2 : Cup aspirations for the Bruins | Ownership's role in the QB competition | Celtics in four!

Hour 4: Bruins goalie decisions | Eliot Wolf on starting Drake Maye | $40,000 gyms

Then, Megsplaining turned into Arcand talking about doctors touching junk. Finally, they give their picks on Bet Roulette!
It is time for Bet Roulette! Yesterday, no one hit on their bet, but today will surely be different.
Jones: Celtics -12.5
Mego: Jayson Tatum 25.5 points under
Arcand: Over total points Celtics Cavs 211.5
It's time for your Megsplaining. Today, Mego explains that Equinox's new membership costs $40,000 a year! Jones says that if he were super rich, he would throw the money away on it, but Mego says she would rather use her free gym she is at today. Arcand then discusses what happened to the turn and cough exam at his yearly checkup. The segment derails as Arcand and Jones reminisce on the times when their doctors would touch their junk. You read that right.
Hour 3 - During the third hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew discussed the Patriots, the Red Sox, and the Bruins.
First, they wrapped up the Big Q @2:00. Jones and Arcand believe in the Bruins, but Mego does not. Will we see Ullmark in this series?
Then, WEEI's Rob Bradford calls in to talk Red Sox.
Finally, Triple Play! How many games will the Celtics and Bruins series go?
It is time for Triple Play! Here are the questions on this Over/Under Tuesday.

He was asked about Devers as a leader, Chris Sale, ownership's thoughts on the team so far, chemistry in the clubhouse, and the difference between Chaim Bloom and Craig Breslow.
Hour 2 - the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand was all over the map in terms of Boston sports, beginning with the Bruins. Is Sweeney a bad GM? Jones says no, stop overrating farm systems.
Then, a discussion about the QB competition between Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye. What role does ownership have in the decision?
Finally, a Celtics segment about their potential to sweep the Cavs. Jones says, " I do not see a world in which they do not sweep. They should sweep. This series is a dud."
QB competition QB competition QB competition is all the Patriots spokespeople have been saying for weeks. Even Eliot Wolf has emphasized it. Will Maye start week one? Jacoby Brissett probably will not beat Maye in a QB competition because the only QB he has ever beaten is Brian Hoyer.
Do people in the Patriots org. think that Maye can start week one?
What if it is the coaching staff, what if it is Martha the security guard?
Mego: sorry Martha, I don’t trust your opinion. Him starting week one would hype up the fans, but they have not even seen him! They do not know when he will be ready, week one, week five or even next season.
Has Don Sweeney, the general manager of the Boston Bruins, been a good drafter? If the Bruins lost to the Leafs, Jones probably would have said yes, but since they won, he says no. Good ol' Positivity Jones! Look at guys like Lohrei and Swayman, two Sweeney picks producing in the playoffs.
Then, Jones calls out the science bitches who don’t want to go with the hot hand in net. They listen to coach Monty say that sport scientists want him to start Ullmark. He probably wants to avoid that and roll with Swayman, the current Conn Smythe front-runner.
Hour 1 - the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand was all about the Bruins. Jones: The Bruins have inspired some belief in them after last night! Mego: I wish I had seen progress from our top line forwards. I do not believe YET. Arcand: If your goalie is great, anything is possible.
Then Arcand talks about his wife's reception to his comments from the show yesterday.
Finally, a discussion on new father Brandon Carlo and his trip in the private jet to the game in Sunrise.
Major props to Brandon Carlo for scoring a goal right after the birth of his son. In this segment, the crew talks the Bruins and their depth. Is it sustainable to get such great games from Patrick Brown and Brandon Carlo? Brown led the game in hits with nine. He was a force. Also, are faceoffs overrated? Jones thinks so, and the Bruins cannot win them, so hopefully. Did Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs want to fly Carlo in the private jet? Listen to find out.
Jones asks the Big Q @2:00: Are you starting to believe the Bruins can win the Cup?Jones says that coach Monty finally did something by calling a timeout. It woke up the Bruins in the third period. Then he dunks on hockey hardos by talking about two goal leads in hockey. Mego says she does not believe in the Bruins yet. Arcand says that Florida looked rusty and they could not solve Swayman.

Hour 3 - the third hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand begun with a discussion on the Roast of Tom Brady. Jones thinks a lot of the roast was very personal for Bill and Brady. Then, Mack Brown, the coach of the UNC football team, calls in and shares his honest thoughts on Drake Maye. Finally,a buy or sell Monday on Triple Play! It is a roast, Jones!
It is time for Triple Play! It is Buy or Sell Monday. Here are the questions:
1 BUY OR SELL - DONOVAN MITCHELL WILL OUTSCORE JAYSON TATUM IN THE SERIES
2 BUY OR SELL - THERE WAS A "NO ROBERT KRAFT JOKES" RULE AT THE BRADY ROAST
3 BUY OR SELL - BEN AFFLECK WAS THE WORST ROASTER
UNC head coach Mack Brown calls into the Jones and Mego show with Arcand to discuss his QB Drake Maye. He speaks very highly of him, saying that the footwork narrative is something the media made up to talk about something negative. He also says that he would adopt Maye if he could. Listen to learn more about the Patriots future QB!
Hour 2 - the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand was about the Bruins and the roast of Tom Brady. Jones spends the later half of the hour debating to Mego and Arcand that there was some personal beef going on between Bill and Brady. Arcand and Mego do not even disagree with Jones, but he still keeps trying to prove his point. Jones says that, "I did not say they hate each other, I said that Bill think it was about him, and Brady thought it was about him. I still think Bill thinks he could win without Brady and the roast proves this." It is a ROAST, Jones.
Who were the winners and losers of the roast of Tom Brady? Mego could be one because she did not think it would be any good. It exceeded her and Arcand's expectations. Jones laughed so hard that his wife joined him to watch. On the subject of Bill, Jones says: Bill was hiding to start. He did his set up there and people were mocking him, then Kevin Hart (under instruction from Kraft) tried to make a truce between Kraft and Bill. Bill wanted NOTHING to do with it.
Jones, Mego, and Arcand draft their ideal team of players from the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Also, Jones gives Lindholm his praise for the first time after calling him a waiste of money. The crew agrees that the top end talent of the Bruins is better than the top end talent on the Panthers, but Pasta has to be better in the playoffs to outperform Tkachuck.
Hour 1 - during the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew talks Stanley Cup Playoffs and Bruins. First, they answer the Big Q @2:00, What's the biggest factor for the Bruins against the Panthers? Next, they field calls from anxious Bruins fans who think the Bruins are not tough enough to win round two. And finally, was the "Belief" a "BeLeaf?" Jones has to be convinced.
During this segment, a very patriotic caller lets his opinion be known: start Jeremy Swayman because he is American! Jones follows up by posing the question. Are the Bruins American enough?
Mego: Comedy is back (referencing the roast of Tom Brady). Get me an American goalie. I do not want some European goalie in net.
Also, Circling the Drain!
Jones asks the Big Q @2:00: What's the biggest factor for the Bruins against the Panthers? Arcand and Mego say David Pastrňák will have to be the guy if Boston is going to upset the Panthers. This team will go as far as he takes them. There were a lot of close games last series because Pastrnak did not show up. Jones takes a different angle: I think it is the goalie decision. Sounds like it will be Swayman in net for game one. He should keep the net. Also, listen for Arcand's Trump impression and a clueless caller.

First, Arcand suggests the Bruins have the YIPS...
Then, Jones defends Sweeney's drafting and roster building.

Then Mego is dumbfounded by the fact that wearing a helmet could lead to baldness.
Finally, what will the Tom Brady roast look like?
"Did Bergeron have anything to do with the collapse against Flyers, or the Panthers?" Jones asks. Yes, he did.
Arcand: if the goalie rotation people call in, I do not care, there was never ever any reason for them to go back to Ullmark.

Other questions asked were concerning who will be Maye's direct coach, what feelings he has towards the offseason as a whole, and what has changed in the Patriots' locker room. At the end of the interview, Curran clashed with Jones about when Maye will start his first game.
Hour 1 - during the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew talks hockey. Specifically, the Boston Bruins.

This segment starts off with a debate on what the difference between necrophilia and necromancing is. Mego does not know the difference. Arcand: it is going to take a necromancer to revive the Bruins after last night.
Then, would going back to Ullmark wake up the Bruins? Jones and Mego say no. Swayman is better.
Finally, the Bruins boy's club culture of choking has no end in sight, lasting the span of three coaches, unless the Bruins win tomorrow.
Jones asks the Big Q @2: Who takes game seven, the Bruins or the Leafs? and Who is to blame for the loss?
Arcand: Toronto. This is a dead team. Toronto is due. I blame Pasta
Mego is more confident in the Bruins somehow even after thinking that Toronto would win the series in seven yesterday. I blame Marchand.
Jones thinks the Bruins will win because we are dealing with the Toronto Maple Leafs here, the perennial playoff chokers. Will the Bruins take their place and lose to Toronto in the playoffs for the first time since 1959? Also, he blames McAvoy.
Hour 1: Boston Celtics talk. First, Jayson Tatum's toughness is called into question then Mike Gorman and his legacy in Boston.
Hour 2: HockeyJones vs Hockey Hardos. A discussion of the Boston Bruins and how close they are to choking.
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew mostly talks about the Bruins.
First, What on earth is up with Auston Matthews? Mego gives her in depth analysis and speculation.
Second, Pasta and Marchand have to be the guys during tonight's game. Also, Jones v hockey hardos.
Lastly, a discussion on Swayman's postgame comments and what would make Arcand stop supporting him.
Great players like David Pastrňák have to elevate their games in the playoffs. Pasta always commits bad giveaways and never blocks shots, he does not look any different to Jones. All series he has been bad because he does not score any goals! That is what he does really well.
Arcand: Maybe he has an injury!
Jones: He looks physically fine. Does not look hurt to me.
Mego: Auston Matthews is dealing with something that you have not seen since the 1600s.
Jones, Mego, and Arcand speculate as to what is going on with Auston Matthews. What would be a good excuse for him to miss game 6 and 7? Is it flesh eating bacteria? Is it Siphilis? Why does Mego know so much about Siphilis? How close are the Bruins to choking? Arcand thinks it is in the back of their minds. Also, an interview with Matthews's toilet!
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew began by breaking down Jayson Tatum and the Celtics. They are not a tough enough team, so they will have to win in other ways.
Mego: Tatum did not handle the heat well at all. He will have to be better.
Then they discuss Mike Gorman and what he meant to them. Also, which reporters did not stand and clap when Gorman got his ovation? Jones and Arcand speculate.
The Celtics have finally beaten the Miami Heat to advance to the next round. Mego wanted it to end in four, and Jones has found something to rip the Celtics for. After the game, Jayson Tatum said that the media has been laying out a "lazy" narrative that says the Celtics are not tough. The Celtics will not win games for their toughness, they are a skill team. Jones: That is not their style of basketball. Tatum has not impressed Jones, Mego, and Arcand so far this NBA Playoffs. Are you nervious about the Celtics right now?
From 'Slammed' (Subscribe Here): Granted, it was a MUCH different team than the one that ended Boston's season 11 months ago; the Celtics avenged their loss from last year and ended Miami's season with a 118-84 victory in Game 5. completing the gentleman's sweep. Meghan Ottolini, Esteban Bustillos, and Justin Turpin are LIVE from TD Garden, breaking down the win and what to expect in Round 2.

The Jones and Mego parlay streak has ended. Here are today's picks!
Mego: Cavs -5
Jones: Bruins -1.5
Arcand: Knicks -4.5
Also, WormTalk in relation to Auston Matthews sickness. Does he have a tapeworm? (speculation)
It is time for Megsplaining! Today's discussion, haunted houses on the Boston housing market. Where do you draw the line in this housing market with weird things going on in that same house? You are looking at a property in Boston and it is fairly priced, but it was hit by the strangler, what do you do? Mego says the further in the past, the more likely it is haunted. If you save money, then Jones is in! He is buying! Arcand is too.
Hour 3 - During the third hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew goes all over the map of Boston sports.
They begin with the Celtics. Jones wants everyone to know that Tatum and Brown will be the reason why this team lives or dies. "They have plenty of talent," he says.
Then, Rob Bradford calls in and talks about his friendship with Noah Kahan, and of course, the Red Sox.
Finally, Triple Play!
It is time for Triple Play! Today's questions are
1 HOW MANY 30+ POINT GAMES WILL JAYSON TATUM HAVE IN THE PLAYOFFS? O/U 5.5 (SO FAR HAS 0 THROUGH 4 GAMES)
2 HOW MANY WRS FROM LAST YEAR WILL BE ON THIS YEAR'S PATRIOTS ROSTER? O/U 3.5 (BOURNE/DOUGLAS/JJSS/THORNTON/REAGOR/BOUTTE)
3 HOW MANY PLAYOFF WINS WILL SWAYMAN FINISH WITH? O/U 8.5 (CURRENTLY HAS 3)

Garvin pitches a Baseball Isn't Boring croptop.

First, they dive into the Drake Maye pick and what the plan is for next season.
Then, Thor Nystrom of FantasyPros calls in and discusses how he thinks Ja'Lynn Polk was a reach in the second round. He also says that he loves Javon Baker.
Finally, Does Robert Kraft weild his power differently than other NFL owners? Arcand thinks so!
Thor Nystrom gave the Patriots an "F" grade for their recent draft class. He spoke on how he thinks Drake Maye is not good enough to start in the NFL yet, how Ja'Lynn Polk is not a second round talent, and how much of an it factor Javon Baker is going to be for the Patriots. He thinks that Polk was only a number three option in college. Sure, he may have great hands, but he does not stretch the defense like you would want from a round two guy. Do you agree with this new perspective or is he just a hater? Will Baker rise up the ranks in the Patriots WR room?
Was Drake Maye a butts in seats pick? Jones thinks that The Patriots are not as convicted on Drake Maye as they are letting on. Audio from Maye's interview on the show yesterday in which he talks about whether or not he expects to start is played, and the crew reacts. Is Maye ready to start next season? People sure will show up if he does.
Hour 1 - during the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew breaks down the Celtics and their chances of winning an NBA Championship this season. Porzingis just got hurt. He is made of glass. Now the Celtics need 30 minutes a night of Al Horford. Next, they talk about the Heat and how done they are with Miami. Was what Bam did last night a dirty play? Are the Celtics in a "world of trouble" after losing Porzingis?
The crew discusses #HeatCulture and how done with the Heat they are. "The heat are borderline dirty," says Jones. Mego says that she is not sure whether or not Bam intended to injure Tatum. Jones then talks about Al Horford being a sneaky dirty player as well. Is it worth complaining about the Heat being dirty? Time to send them to Cancun. Everyone is done with the Heat and their borderline dirty antics.
Jones is on an island to start the show. He asks the big Q @2: are the Celtics good enough to win without Kristaps Porzingis. Jones thinks that in order for the Celtics to win it will be on Tatum and Brown. You cannot blame your third option for losing. If the Celtics lose, it will be on the "Jays." Mego and Arcand are not as convinced. Denver is a big challenge for the C's, with or without Porzingis. Are you with Jones, or Mego and Arcand?
Hour 4 - during the fourth hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew breaks down the difference between Mac Jones weekly appearances when he was a Patriot and Drake Maye's debut. Maye seems to have more personality than Mac and Jones, Mego, and Arcand could not be happier. Then, Mego discusses sleepaway camps. What went down at Mego's Irish stepdance sleepaway camp? Why are people so obsessed with camps? Listen to find out and more.
Bet Roulette! THE JONES AND MEGO SHOW PARLAY HAS HIT TWO TIMES IN A ROW PEOPLE!!!! So do with that what you will. Mego goes with Tatum over 25.5 points, Jones reluctantly chooses Porzingis over 1.5 threes, and Arcand is rocking with Bam Adebayo over 10.5 rebounds.
It is time for Megsplaining! Today's topic is sleep away camps. Mego discusses what goes down at these camps. Jones and Arcand cannot relate. Jones immediately gets jealous when Mego says that stuff apparently goes down at these $1,000 a week camps. Intern Jacob and Garvin agree.
Hour 3 - during the third hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand they begin by discussing and wrapping up their feelings on the big q @2, will the Patriots roster be better than last year this season? Then, Drake Maye calls into the show and makes his Jones and Mego debut. Finally, Jones and Mego bully Arcand for not getting a namedrop from Maye during his phone call.
It is time for Triple Play! Today's questions were 1 BUY OR SELL THE CELTICS ARE STILL THE SCARIEST TEAM IN THE PLAYOFFS2 BUY OR SELL TANNER HOUCK WILL FINISH TOP 5 IN CY YOUNG VOTING THIS YEAR.
Drake Maye calls into the Jones and Mego show for the first time! He discusses the Patriots QB room, his fellow rookies and the relationships he has fostered with them before rookie camp, his intentions to start week one, and a few anecdotes from his time growing up in North Carolina.
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew breaks down whether or not it is ok to grade a draft to start. Jones: I have no problem grading the draft. Mego:I do not like to grade the draft right after. Arcand: C. Then, they dive into the Bruins and Jeremy Swayman's dominance over the Leafs. Finally, they close the hour with some Celtics playoff discussion. They have to not play with their food and sink the Heat tonight.
Is the series between the Celtics and the Heat over? Yes. As long as the Celtics want to win, they can win it in five. Mego:I am irritated. I do not want to watch 5 games of this series. Jones: I want to see the Celtics step on their throats. Porzingis, Holiday, and of course, Tatum and Brown, have to be the leaders they are paid to be. Listen to hear how the crew is feeling about the Celtics and the NBA playoffs as a whole.
Jones asks one simple question... where did the Bruins goalie rotation supporters go? Everyone seemed to flip flop on their opinion. Swayman is the Bruins number one goaltender right now. Will we see Ullmark again this playoffs? Mego forsees something bad happening to the Bruins, so she thinks so. Arcand does not, Jones says that it would be stupid to go back to Ullmark because he tends to poop himself in the playoffs.
Hour 1 - during the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew discusses the Patriots and their new draft class.
Jones: They were not aggressive enough. They just wound up to him. If they were going to move up I preferred Coleman. They wanted to move up for someone, they could not, so they moved back.
Then, they play Circling the Drain.
An analysis of Javon Baker's first media appearance since becoming a member of the New England Patriots. Jones says that a little personality is a welcome change. Arcand: It is going to be a different way of running things here. Also, who is going to be the guy to look after the QBs next season? AVP? or McAdoo?
Jones, Mego, and Arcand argue about whether or not the Patriots will be better this season than they were last season. Jones and Mego are on the same page, You don’t even have to be optimistic because the offense was so bad last year. Mac Jones starts 11 games last year, Jacoby’s numbers are better than Mac’s. Arcand takes a different approach: We are dealing with a bunch of unproven rookies who have not done anything yet. You had holes in the roster that they should have addressed differently. Where do you stand?
From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): ESPN's Buster Olney returns to the podcast and this time he is joining Rob Bradford to talk about the Cubs and the wide-ranging impact their new manager Craig Counsell has had on contracts and the Cubs. The guys take a deep dive into how managers are viewed (and paid) while trying to see if Chicago might be able to slip into the elite of the elite of major league teams.

It is time for Bet Roulette! Last time they placed their bets, they won! Will history repeat itself? Mego goes with the Celtics -9.5, Arcand chooses the Timberwolves +5, and Jones goes against the Sox and picks the Cubs straight up head to head.
It is time for the relationship roundtable! Today's questions are first date red flags, what do I do if my partner does not dress the way I like, and then Arcand gives some interesting advice. Listen to this to hear Megsplaining devolve into chaos. Also, what does Mego think kickball leagues are for?
Hour 2 - during the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew talks about Motown to start. Jones does not like Motown, and Mego gets offended. If Drake Maye were a Motown song, which one would he be? Then, Dan Orlovsky calls in from the NFL Draft to break down more about the Patriots and where they stand. Finally, Triple Play!
Dan Orlovsky calls in from the NFL Draft in Detroit from a... cat cafe? or a barnyard with Earth Wind and Fire in the background? There was something going on at the NFL Draft. Orlovsky says that he wants to see Jacoby Brissett start for the Patriots next season so that Drake Maye can work on his flaws in practice. He also says that he sees the Patriots taking a wide reciever in the second round or trading for one.
Hour 2 - during the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew breaks down Bill Belichick and his draft takes on the Pat McAfee Show, then Tom E Curran calls in to talk 49ers wide recievers and Drake Maye, and the hour ends on a discussion of Drake Maye's funny media conference at Gillette Stadium.
Drake Maye, in his first media scrum at Gillette Stadium, has a tough time getting his true words out. Such authentic goofyness and personality is something that Patriots fans did not see in Mac Jones. He talks about his offensive philosophy and more, referring to the "big dig" a few times (not actually, he was referring to a play called big dig?). Listen to hear how Maye will sound behind the mic this season.
Listen to hear Tom E Curran's breakdown of the number 3 overall selection of the New England Patriots, Drake Maye. Curran says that Drake Maye's upside is all in the imagination of Patriots fans. There is a lot to fix up with Drake Maye, and Curran says, " He is boom or bust, needs the most work." Also he goes over the Patriots desire to ask the 49ers about Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel.
Jones: Bill has been reduced to a show on the internet next to a Mel Kiper impersonator. Fingerwags from Jones for Bill's comments on Drake Maye. Mego: I did not have any problem as to what he said. He is a project! Arcand feels bad for Bill. If someone told you he would be on the Pat McAfee Show instead of an NFL coach at the beginning of last season would you believe them?
Hour 1 - during the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew discusses the third overall selection of the New England Patriots, Drake Maye. Not only did this make Jones's heart happy, but his other organs too... Mego is also elated by this pick. Arcand is a hater, he thinks the offense is so bad that it will ruin Drake Maye. Should Maye be the week one starter?
Ryan Garvin, our fearless producer, has located the rare audio from the other end of the draft night phone call between Jerod Mayo, Drake Maye, and Robert Kraft. Listen to hear this rare audio.
To begin the show, the big Q at 2:00 is discussed. Would Jones, Mego, and Arcand start Drake Maye week one? Jones says yes because he simply cannot sit through a season of Jacoby Brissett. Mego says 50/50 split with Brissett and Maye because "I do not want him to get ruined on the field. He pops right back up after getting hit, something that will not last if his o-line is bad." Arcand is largely dissatisfied with the pick, but would rather watch Maye than Jacoby Brissett as well. Also, listen to hear what position Jones watched the draft in last night...
From 'Heat Check' (subscribe here): Trysta start the show by marveling at Joe Mazzula and how his approach has the Celtics tied against a Heat team that just seems to have their number. To talk about that series, she welcomes Jonathan Zaslow. Then, she takes a look at Knicks-Sixers and Joel Embiid dirty play. She also touches on Lakers-Nuggets, which is heading to yet another sweep.

TODAY IS THE DAY OF THE NFL DRAFT! Listen to how Jones, Mego, and Arcand preview tonight's Patriots third overall pick.
Hour 2 - during the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew talks Bruins, Celtics, and Patriots. First, they talk Celtics and their loss to the Heat last night. Then they paint Brad Marchand as the pentalty artist that he is according to Sheldon Keefe. Finally, they break down the Patriots draft room and the fact that ownership is to blame for this pick, whether you like it or not.
Sheldon Keefe, the Maple Leafs' coach has said that Brad Marchand is an "artist" at avoiding the box... "Marchandangelo," says Arcand. Has the goalie debate finally been settled? Swayman better be ready to go for next game. Mego: I think that they are going back to the rotation. However, I am now out on the rotation. Living day to day in this series.It is clear to me that Swayman is the guy for this series. Arcand says that the Bruins would be stupid to start Ullmark after last night's Swayman performance.
The Celtics are now up for discussion. Who is to blame for last night's loss to the lowly Miami Heat. They got hot from behind the three-point line, but the Celtics never adjusted. Mego hates the slow ass iso ball that Tatum and Brown run most of the time. Also, Kristaps Porzingis has to be better. Jones: No scheme should lose to that Miami team. It is about the players, not the coach.
During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew talks about the NFL Draft. Today is the day of the biggest draft in recent memory for New England Patriots fans and Jones has one question for Robert Kraft: will you screw up the pick or will you draft Drake Maye?
The crew breaks down the upcoming NFL Draft and the potential for the Patriots to draft Drake Maye at the number three pick. This seems to be the most likely scenario for the Patriots in tonight's draft. Will the Patriots get a trade offer for their pick that they cannot refuse? Mego: Am I crazy for thinking that there is a world in which they get offered four first round picks or a groundbreaking trade. Would ownership buy into that?
With both the Celtics and Bruins playing playoff games tonight, which game will you be tuning into?
Hour 3. Comparing Drake Maye to Drew Bledsoe. Masataka Yoshida out of the lineup tonight. Brian Scalabrine joins the show! Code red for the Heat revisited. Callers share their thoughts. Triple Play: Wild Card Wednesday!
Brian Scalabrine joins the show to discuss the Celtics Game 1 win, previews Game 2 and talks about his "Code Red" comment.
Hour 2. How far back would you be comfortable with the patriots trading in the draft? Does Tom Brady influence the #3 overall pick? Bruins make changes to their line-up. Is Brandon Ayiuk a possibility for the Patriots?
The San Fransico 49er seems upset that he still doens't have a contract and the guys debate if the Patriots could make a move and trade for Brandon Aiyuk.
After dropping Game 2 at home to the Leafs, the Bruins have announced changes to their line-up ahead of tonight's game.
Despite no longer being on the Patriots, could Tom Brady influence who the Patriots take at #3?
Hour 1. Big Q @ 2 You’re on the clock at #3. Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels are gone. What is your decision? Alex Cora joins the show. Bryan Bello on 15 day IL. Why are the Patriots fielding offers for the #3 pick?
Alex Cora joins the show to discuss Brayan Bello's injury and how will it will impact the Red Sox moving forward.
The guys take a look at Brian Hoyer breaking down Drake Maye's footwork and if it is a concern for the QB prospect.
With the NFL Draft tomorrow night, Aracnd & Jones debate what they want the Patriots to do with the #3 overall pick!
To close the show, Jones and Arcand are told to CALM DOWN about the Bruins and their goaltending situation thus far in the playoffs. How can they calm down in the middle of the playoffs? Then they discuss Brandon Aiyuk and the possibility of him being traded to the Patriots. Would he just be sad in New England because everyone is scared to pay him?
Hour 3 - during the third hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew wraps up the discussion of the Big Q @2 which was about the Bruins goaltender rotation, then are joined by Rob Bradford of Baseball isn't Boring, and the hour finishes with Triple Play!
It is time for Triple Play! It is over/under Tuesday, and today's questions are How many career regular season games will Andy Reid finish with? How many innings will Tanner Houck finish with today? And How many Celtics games this playoffs will end in a buzzer beater?
Listen to hear all the new updates about the Red Sox. How long will Casas be out? Who will be his replacement? Is Fenway Park being ruined by college students? John Henry may have to wake up!
Hour 2 - during the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand without Mego the guys discuss the New England Patriots and their potential draft scenarios with the draft coming up in just two days. Tom E Curran believes that the most likely scenario for the Patriots is to draft a QB at three. Then they break down JJ McCarthy's comments on Adam Schefter's podcast about Robert Kraft. To conclude they talk about accurate vs athletic QBs.
Drake Maye ticks all the boxes for Adam Jones. He is athletic and can make big plays in the air and with his legs. Jones does not want to draft a guy just because he completes 70% of his passes, odds are that guy is making short throws and screens, which does not help a team win a game. Tom Brady is the exception. Also, Andy Reid is coming for Bill Belichick's records!
JJ McCarthy has gone onto Adam Schefter's podcast and said that Robert Kraft is, “the coolest, smoothest guy I’ve met in a long time. Just being able to know that you’re in good hands when the Kraft family is running that whole thing." Jones and Arcand are disgusted by this. "Sucking up to the owner is embarrassing," says Jones. Also, apparently dissing Bill Belichick means getting a job with the Patriots, Slater and Amendola have both earned jobs by using this strategy.
Hour 1 - Christian Arcand is the new General McCarthy. No more equal starts for the Bruins goalies. Swayman deserves to be the guy for the Bruins especially against the Maple Leafs. During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand (without Mego today she is on the IL) the guys discuss the Bruins and their goalie rotation, which coach Montgomery said was not to blame for the Bruins loss. Arcand and Jones try to influence the Big Q @2 voters to blame the goalie rotation for the Bruins game 2 loss (their 6th home game two loss in a row). Is it a goalie problem or a "lifestyle problem?"
The Big Q @2 is How big of a factor did the goalie rotation play in last night's loss? Jones and Arcand think that a lot of the loss was attributed to the rotation, but over 50% of the voters think "goalie communism" is the way to go. Jones and Arcand use this segment to yell at their voters and tell them to vote for their opinion, "A lot". The Bruins might be functioning under goalie communism, but Jones and Arcand are pushing goalie facism.
Jones and Arcand are incredibly frustrated by the Bruins goaltender rotation. Jones: My guy Marchand was invisible. HockeyJones gets yelled at every single spring. But HockeyJones every single year pantses the hardos. I cannot wait to be right about Swayman. Arcand: the rotation people never talk about how Ullmark is never reliable in the playoffs. For some reason they think that they should keep mixing Ullmark in.
Hour 4 - Jones and Arcand wrap up the final hour discussing Celtics-Heat and Bruins-Leafs. The guys also preview the Patriots draft and Jones claims ownership will have their fingerprints all over the #3 pick. Arcand takes over Meg'splaining with Arcand'splaining. The hour wraps up with Bet Roulette.
SEGEMENT - With Mego out, Arcand takes over with Arcand'splaining. He discusses the retirement gift given to John Sterling from the Yankees.
Hour 3 - Jones and Arcand open the third hour making the case as to why we should not see Linus Ullmark in the playoffs. The guys agree that Ullmark has already blown his chance in past years. Arcand explains why the Leafs are the perfect team to ride Swayman against. The hour wraps up with Triple Play.
SEGMENT - It's a buy or sell Monday in this edition of Triple Play centered around the playoffs and NFL Draft.
SEGMENT - Jones and Arcand continue to discuss the Bruins goalie rotation and Jones makes the point that Linus Ullmark has proved he can't be trusted in the playoffs.
Hour 2 - Jones and Arcand open the second discussing Caleb Martin's late game foul on Jayson Tatum and the Heat's attempt to send a message to the Celtics. Jones credits Tatum for brushing it all off and not being rattled by the Heat. The guys come to the conclusion the Heat's only chance is to muck it up vs the Celtics. The hour wraps up with the guys discussing what it would take for the Patriots to move the #3 overall pick.
SEGMENT - Jones and Arcand discuss what the Patriots would need in a trade package to move the #3 overall pick. Jones believes ownership won't move for just a package of picks, while Arcand believes they can be convinced only if they believe they can get the QB they while still trading back.
SEGMENT - Jones and Arcand discuss Caleb Martin's late game foul on Jayson Tatum and Scal saying Spolestra called for a "Code Red." Jones believes the Heat wanted to send a message, but weren't trying to injure Tatum.
Hour 1 - Jones, Mego, and Arcand open the show discussing the Bruins victory over the Maple Leafs in game one and where it leads the goalie rotation debate. The crew come to an agreement that Swayman should start game two, but debate what Montgomery will do going forward. Later in the hour Jones, Mego, and Arcand discuss if fans should be buying in on this bruins team. The hour wraps up with Mego taking an early exit due to a "bad mountain dew" and Jones and Arcand discuss the involvement of the Kraft's in football decisions.
SEGMENT - Jones and Arcand discuss the level of involvement from Robert and Jonathan Kraft in football decisions. Jones says they are of course involved in the number 3 pick because all NFL owners are involved in top pick decisions.
SEGMENT - Jones, Mego, and Arcand discuss who should get the net in game two for the Bruins against the Leafs.
It is time for Megsplaining! Today's topic is the relationship roundtable. Jones is a heal-all apparently. If your fiancé has a close relationship with his or her mother, do not say that you hate her before you are married. Also, if you are stuck in the friendzone, Jones has some advice for you!
The crew continues their bad interview conversation by discussing Trent Baalke and his recent press conference fart.
Hour 3- during the third hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew begins the hour ranking first round QB's again. Why did Curran speak so highly of JJ McCarthy? Then they come to the consensus that the Patriots have not come to a consensus on who they want at number three. Finally, Triple Play! They discuss their favorite interview stories and reminisce on old Celtics and Bruins squads.
It is time for Triple Play! The questions asked were their favorite Celtics and Bruins playoff series that is not a Stanley Cup Final or an NBA Finals and their favorite terrible interview moment. Which Sacremento Kings player did Jones get chirped by? Which hip-hop artist did Arcand's interview question raise questions for? Which former QB has Mego " screetched" at? Listen to find out.
There are many different voices in the Patriots front office. There are many different voices on this show. Swayman or Ullmark? Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels or JJ McCarthy? No one is in agreement on anything. Ownership probably likes Jayden Daniels more because he is more marketable, but AVP and Ben McAdoo could want Drake Maye. Arcand wants to trade down, but Jones and Mego are team Drake Maye, their hillbilly king.
Hour 2 - during the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew begins the hour by breaking down the big Q @2, which is Do you worry Drake Maye going to Washington at 2 would screw up the Patriots' pick at 3? Arcand is not worried, in fact he is happy about the potential to have Jayden Daniels, Mego is concerned because she does not want a guy who is trying to steer himself away from a certain team, and Jones shares the same sentiment. Then NBC Sports Boston's Tom E Curran calls in. The hour finishes with Jones screaming about the Bruins goalie situation and coach Monty.
Adam Jones is a notorious Patrice Bergeron hater. He also knows that the Leafs are always playoff chokers. If the Leafs actually beat the Bruins not only will Jones admit he misses Patrice, but he thinks that Monty's days as the Bruins coach would be numbered. Also, a goalie has been decided upon but GM Sweeney is not telling anyone who it is. "SWAYMAN!" shouts Jones.
NBC Sports Boston's Tom E Curran calls into the show to discuss the Patriots just six days out of the NFL Draft! If Wolf thinks the Patriots are not a team that is drafting from a need, then he needs to take a long objective look at his offense. The Patriots have the worst offense in football. He said that with a straight face. Makes Wolf very suspect in my eyes.
Hour 1 - during the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand, the crew discusses the recent rumors about Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye, then Hungover Mego breaks down the Boston Celtics and their clutch stats. Also, AJ Brown seems to want to be in New England. The Patriots made the call, but no dice. AJ will remain in Philly for another season, longing to play for the Patriots.
Mego has crunched the numbers, Jayson Tatum is 19th out of the 19 players left in the playoffs in "double-clutch" situations, or situations in which there is two minutes or less in the game, and it is within two scores. Mego went through the entire NBA of players still in the playoffs, ranked who was the most clutch and who was least clutch, Tatum came in last. Jones is not thrilled about this to say the least.
Firstly, Mego is hungover, she went to a friend’s going away party from the Herald, knocked a glass of wine across the table, got overserved by herself. Jones: If I drink period, I will be hungover. Also, Jayden Daniels is discussed. Jones: If he wants to control his way to NE then what is wrong with him! Would Washington still take him at 2? Mego: Terrible look for Jayden Daniels. Not a good look to steer a team away from drafting you. Washington has better weapons than New England. Is Washington going to screw up the Patriots pick at three?
"Nothing’s happened, that’s bad yet," said Eliot Wolf. Arcand: Free agency was bad. Jones: the dynasty stunk, so did the NFLPA Survey. Mego also believes that AJ Brown will somehow end up on the Patriots because he changed his profile picture.
The crew breaks down Eliot Wolf's press conference down further. Jones: I no longer am scared of the Patriots not drafting a receiver. I think since Bill is gone, they are going to hit. I want one at 34. Eliot Wolf is the only one showing restraint as to not rip Bill Belichick. It has been a real process for everyone, but the messaging has not been consistent. Also, Drake Maye's biggest fan calls in.
Ownership is going to make their voices heard about the pick at three! Jones: The Krafts are going to have a huge hand in making the pick. It could be the reason why Wolf brought up Lamar Jackson during his press conference. Ownership had a say back then in the draft when he was with the Browns, and will have a say again this season. The crew reacts and argues about this information.
Eliot Wolf has spoken to the media once again. During this press conference, no one could hear any of the questions because the audio levels were so low, but not to fear, Professor Dink is here to ask all the hard hitting questions. Mr Dink asks about rookie quarterbacks and the offensive line, and more. Mego: Wolf is doing something intentionally. I did not like the press conference. He is trying to throw out every direction of where they could go in. I did not like the part where he talked about the offense being “NFL Level”and then said they are not drafting from an area of need.
Hour 4 - during the fourth hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew discussed the Patriots with Jeremy Fowler, an ESPN reporter, then Mego explains the marathon poop story heard across social media, then finishes with their locks of the night on Bet Roulette!

We are about eight days away from the NFL Draft, and mock drafts have just about projected every possible outcome to happen. Jones, Mego, and Arcand break down the most recently released mock draft, which features the Patriots drafting Jayden Daniels with the third overall pick. Arcand: I would be happiest if they got Jayden Daniels. I would much rather him than Drake Maye. Jones and Mego both snarl at this take. No one wants JJ McCarthy.
Robert Kraft has slandered Bill Belichick to Arthur Blank, therefore preventing him from getting a job in the NFL. Jones: I thought some dumb owner would bring him in, but now I think he is not going to get a job after this article just came out on ESPN by Don Van Natta Jr., Seth Wickersham and Jeremy Fowler.

Hour 4 - during the fourth hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand, the crew begins by discussing the article written up by Patriots beat reporter Mike Kadlick asking on air and producer talent at WEEI to say their desired third overall pick. Mego and Arcand wrote way too much, Jones lets them know. Also, Mego's restaurant talent during Megsplaining and the locks of the night during Bet Roulette!
It is time for Bet Roulette! Arcand takes UNC -4.5 over Alabama, Mego (against Jones wishes) takes the Red Sox +1.5 over the Mariners for opening day, and Jones decides to not go against UConn and takes them -11.5.
It is time for Megsplaining! Today's topic is a special talent that Mego has from her time as a hostess. She can tell exactly how much time it will be until she is sat down for dinner. Arcand's skill is knowing when to cut people off from behind the bar, and Jones's is making silverware disappear!
Hour 3 - during the third hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand, the crew talks about how unrecognizable the Red Sox are, Cora's unrealistic expectations that are so high that it sounds like a joke, and the marketability of the MLB offseason on Triple Play!
It is time for Triple Play! Specifically report card Thursday. Today's questions were grade this MLB offseason drama, Steve Belichick's roast of his father, and Draymond's recent ejection. Can you do something cooler if you are going to get ejected? No choke hold, no dramatic flair. - Jones
The crew asks callers and listeners one simple question: who is the face of the Red Sox? Mego says Fenway Park, Jones says Devers, and Arcand says Devers as well. Which Red Sox player would you recognize in public?
Hour 2 - during the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand, the crew breaks down some interesting Tom E Curran takes, and discusses who they trust with the ball in the last two minutes for the Celtics. Also, is Drake Maye impressing at his pro day?
NBC Sports Boston's Tom E Curran calls into the Jones and Mego show to talk about the Patriots and the recent NFL owners meeting last week. He was asked about what Eliot Wolf's future will look like with the Patriots, referring to him as the "GM," and the Patriots messaging during the offseason. You cannot say I expect the playoffs with a new coach and a new team. Why would you even say that?
"I was not putting any stock in any pro days anyway, now I have to subscribe to NFL Plus to watch Drake Maye’s pro day?" says Jones. The entire point of the pro days is to show how good a players is. If something goes wrong, then there is a problem, says Arcand. Also, why did Mego write a novel in her mock draft blurb? Jones says that he wrote his perfectly. Why is Jayden Daniels Arcand's favorite QB in the draft?
Hour 1 - during the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew discusses the Alex Cora contract extension and whether or not he deserves one/ wants one. Next, they broke down the Bruins and how Jones does not think they will advance very far during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, especially with coach Montgomery making excuses for them. Some other interesting questions were asked, including what happened to the humans in the movie Cars?
The Bruins did not show up last night after having a great game against the Panthers. Are you worried about the Bruins? Mego: yes I am. The comments after the game make me nervous. Coach was making excuses for the Bruins. Same old thing that has been happening since the All Star Break. Jones: Is Tampa a wagon? Are you scared of the Lightning? Arcand: Hell yes. They owned us for a while and this year. Tampa was on a West Coast road trip, boo hoo. You beat Florida, they decided to take a night off.
The crew debates whether or not Alex Cora deserves a contract extension. Mego: No. I say this because not because he should not be back, but looking today, he has not accomplished much with the Red Sox. People hate a lame duck manager.
Another question is asked, does Alex Cora want a contract extension? Yes, he does. They believe he is a good manager. They brought him back in after the suspension. If they have a young team they should not have a lame duck manager. He can take these kids into the next generation.
Hour 4. Should Kraft be getting more criticism for his comments? Callers weigh in. JJ McCarthy could be the next Mac Jones. Meg’Splaining: Should you go to work while you’re sick? Bet Roulette!

Following the Celtics late game collapse in Atlanta, Mego is worried about the way the Celtics try and execute in close games and the pace at which they play.
Hour 2. Do the Patriots have a messaging problem? Jones sees JJ McCarthy as the next Mac Jones and is not buying the hype! What could the Patriots get for the #3 overall pick? The Bruins beat the Florida Panthers last night.
With the Bruins a combined 7-0 against the Panthers and Leafs, the show is all on board with seeing Toronto in round 1.
If the Patriots were to trade down in the draft, what would they need to get back to make fans feel good?

Jones, Mego, and Arcand debate whether fans should be buying into the "good vibes" that seem to be circulating with the Red Sox and if it could translate to wins in the regular season.
Hour 4 - during the fourth hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand, the crew reviews Robert Kraft's comments about the NFLPA survey, in which he received a terrible grade, Mego "megsplains" the golden age of scammers, and they make their picks on Bet Roulette
It is time for Bet Roulette! Tonight, Arcand went with the Bruins over 5.5 total goals, Mego loves her Thunder -1 against the Pelicans, and Jones takes the Heat +4 without Jimmy Butler.
In this edition of Megsplaining, Mego breaks down the fact that we are in the golden age of scamming. With AI on the rise and older people on the internet, it has never been easier. She specifically breaks down one woman who has used many aliases to scam over 100k from people all over the world. She used a fake Irish accent to swindle people out of their money.
Hour 3 - "Hello... Did we lose Jones?" Arcand says as Jones and Mego's mics both cut out at the same time. Not to fear, however, Bradfo was there to save the day along with Arcand and Ryan. Eventually, Jones and Mego's mics did come back. When they did, it was time for Triple Play! Listen to hear Arcand's authentic reaction to this rare scenario.
It is time for Triple Play! The questions asked today are if the Florida Panthers will finish higher than the Bruins, if the Carolina Panthers will finish with more wins than the Patriots, and how many wins will the Red Sox finish their season with?
Just after the "hello" heard round Boston, Arcand and Ryan are left alone to ask Bradfo some questions. Jones and Mego's mics had cut out at this point, so listen to hear their immediate reaction to the technical difficulties. This could be the best segment of all time. How does Bradfo feel about Nick Pivetta?
Hour 2 - during the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew compares Robert Kraft's question as to why the Dynasty docuseries was so negative to a Tim Robinson meme "we are all looking for the guy who did this." Also, they give their thoughts on the Boston Celtics loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Do the Celtics rely too much on three pointers?
Jayson Tatum says the Celtics F’d the game up. They blew a massive lead and lost against the Hawks. How concerned should we be? Mego: it was concerning because they did not take it seriously. They checked out in the second half. No threes in the third quarter. They live and die by the three pointer. I do not think they have gotten over that. Jones: Tatum settles for jump shots. They slow the pace down and give the other team a chance to come back. Arcand: one assist the entire third quarter. 5/7 from three in the first quarter, 6/31 the rest of the game. Reminds him of the Rockets when they choked to the Warriors.
Listen to hear how the people of New England really feel about Robert Kraft and the Patriots.
Hour 1 - during the first hour of the Jones and Mego show, the crew takes a deep dive into Robert Kraft's recent media appearances at the NFL owners meeting. Are they drafting a QB at three with the answer given by Kraft? Listening to Kraft today means that you get where Jerod got his answer from. We are hearing the company line from the Patriots. This is easy to digest. Covering all their bases. Listen to hear what Robert's answer was in regards to the Calvin Ridley situation and more!
Jones, Mego, and Arcand give their thoughts on the new NFL rule changes announced recently. Kickoff rule change does not matter to Mego, but the hip drop rule will be hard to make a ruling on. How will they enforce it? Jones: They will fine players and get it out that way. How will they do it in the game? How often do they happen in games?
They get into the big Q at 2:00: What is your confidence level in Robert Kraft these days? Robert Kraft spoke to the media at the owners meeting. He said, among other things, that the Patriots are a "young team" and that the Patriots would compete in the playoffs this season. He also said that the reason the Patriots lost out on the Calvin Ridley sweepstakes is because of his girlfriend and state taxes. Mego: the state taxes are such a stupid excuse. Jones: the fact that he brought up taxes proves that it was about money.
Hour 4. Who will the Patriots draft at #3? Mego isn't feeling good about Patriots ownership. Callers share their thoughts. Meg’Splaining: Kim Mulkey vs the Washington Post Bet Roulette!

Jones, Mego, and Arcand discuss the status of their cars and if it bothers them to eat inside of their cars!

It is time for Bet Roulette! Jones rocks with the Iowa State Cardinals -15.5, Mego chooses big DJ Burns and the NC State Woofpack, and Arcand rides McNeese +6.5. Two upsets and a big favorites: +596 odds.

Hour 3 - during the third hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew breaks down the Celtics and their inability to come through in the clutch (they got outscored by 15 in the fourth quarter), and they give their thoughts on the Red Sox during Bet Roulette. They also break down Joe Mazzulla's post game comments saying that he loved Tatum's poise during the game. Listen to hear what Jones, Mego, and Arcand think of all this.
It is Report Card Thursday on Triple Play! Today's questions include a grade for the promotional run-up of this March Madness, the Red Sox and their starting lineup, and their rotation. Listen to hear how the crew really feels about the Red Sox roster.
Tatum stunk in the fourth and third quarter. He did not shoot in the third. Jones says there is a problem for him, being too passive in tough spots. Too much isolation, goes for jumpers instead of getting inside. Mego: it is a combination of Tatum and Joe Mazzulla. Why is it taking them so long to figure out zones? Arcand says that Mazzulla should have called timeouts while the Bucks attempted to come back from down 20.
Hour 2 - during the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew discusses the MLB and how they are working with their media partners to cover up the Shohei Ohtani story, they get a call from Tom E Curran on the Patriots, and they listen to Caleb Williams compare himself to Patrick Mahomes.
NBC Sports Boston's Tom E Curran joins the Jones and Mego show to break down Bailey Zappe's role on the team next season, which rebuild strategy the Patriots should use, and Drake Maye and how much of a project he will be next season if he ends up in Foxborough.
The Interpreter was making bets for Shohei? Jones: I do not buy it was just the interpreter. Mego: Here is the gap for me. How did this story change from his friend was in debt and he was helping, to his friend was stealing from him? Arcand: they are changing it to make him look not guilty, people are trying to cover this story up! Ohtani’s name was on two five-hundred-thousand dollar transfers. Jones: He is either a saint because he lent money to his interpreter, or he is Pete Rose and he is gambling on baseball games. Arcand: this does not add up. How is he going to address it
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew breaks down the Celtics and their late game struggles, even though they usually win, and the NFL Draft. Did Jones like Drake Maye first? Who does Mego trust the most with the game on the line for the Celtics?
Also, an interview with MGM Springfield Director of Communications, Beth Ward! More and more journalists are picking Drake Maye over Jayden Daniels, at least. Jones uses this to laugh and say that he was always a huge supporter of Maye's. Drake Maye is the most prototypical patriots QB in this draft, Jones and Mego agree. Arcand says that the Patriots are at the mercy of whoever the Commanders decide to draft.
The Big Q at 2:00 today concerns the Bucks and the Boston Celtics: Are the Milwaukee Bucks a real threat to the Celtics? Jones says absolutely not: No team in the east can stand up to the Celtics. Joe said we were without Hauser and Jrue. If they lose to the bucks then there should be big changes. Mego says the Celtics expect to win once they get a lead. They cruise to the end. Arcand says I think you should beat the bucks, but when it comes to a seven game series, I trust Dame more than anyone on the Celtics. They were hanging around in this game! A guy like Lillard is gonna be around in the fourth quarter in the playoffs.
Hour 4 - to wrap up the Jones and Mego show for today, the crew began the hour by breaking down the BOMBSHELL report that the Patriots were shopping for veteran wide receivers in the trade market, then they pivoted to fat dogs and cats during Megsplaining, and finished the show with a discussion on the Red Sox and Patriots lack of star power and Bet Roulette!
Bet Roulette time! Jones sticks with the Celtics -10 against the Giannis-less bucks, Mego chooses the Cavaliers over the Miami Heat -2, and Arcand magically rolls his Colorado Buffs -3.5.
It is time for Megsplaining! Today's topic is fat pets. Mego thinks fat pets are cute. Do you agree, or are you like Jones, who thinks that pets dying early is not cute. More than 50% of dogs in the US are overweight. Is it impolite to the dog owner to fat shame someone’s dog?
Hour 3 - during the third hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand, the crew finishes their discussion about the Big q at 2, breaks down the Celtics with Scalabrine, and answers Arcand's wild card questions on Triple Play! Listen to hear about what Scal thinks about Kristaps Porzingis's hamstring injury management and more!
It is time for Triple Play! On this edition of wildcard Wednesday, Arcand asks about which Bill Belichick era draft pick was the worst, David Pastrnak's final Bruins ranking at the end of his career, and which March Madness run was your favorite?
NBC Sports Boston's Brian Scalabrine calls into the Jones and Mego show with Arcand to break down recent Celtics news such as Giannis not playing tonight, who can stop Jokic, and how the Celtics should deal with Kristaps Porzingis's hamstring tightness.
Tom E Curran went on Quick Slants last night and stated that he believes the Patriots do not have a good enough roster for a star rookie QB. He is an advocate of trading down. Sticking to the farming analogies, Jones and Mego are planted in their stance: the Patriots must draft a QB at three. If he has a Jared Goff career, it is not good enough for me, says Jones. Arcand would be pleased with a Goff-like career. Also, is Pastrnak enough to carry the Bruins through the Stanley Cup Playoffs?
As the Ullmark/Swayman debate rages on, Jones asks the crew if David Pastrnak can carry the Bruins through the playoffs. Arcand: can he carry them by himself? No he cannot. Unless he goes double his output. Mego: I do not think that we can think of this through the lens of the regular season. If you look through the last couple of playoff seasons, Marchand makes more of an impact with his points. Until I see him do it, the answer is no.
A recent report stated that the Patriots could be in on a veteran wide receiver who can produce via the trade market. Jones and Mego do not buy this report, citing the fact that the Krafts would not even spend money on a wide receiver when he was sitting right in front of them in free agency. What is really going on here?
Hour 1 - during the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew breaks down the debate of which Patriots front office member should make the third overall pick selection. Jones and Arcand scream at each other about it. Also, they break down a clip in which MLB fans do not know anyone on the Red Sox. Who has more star power, the Patriots or the Red Sox. The crew unfortunately, thinks the Red Sox.
"Eliot Wolf has worked in a front office before!!! What has Robert Kraft done!!! WHY DOES THIS MAKE HIM A GENIUS!" says Arcand. This was in response to Jones calling out Wolf for a few drafting mistakes he has made. Kraft has won six Super Bowls, Jones responds. He is very in favor of Robert making the third overall selection for the Patriots. Listen for some Angry Arcand content. Also, listen to hear who Jones REALLY wants to make the pick... himself!
The crew argues about who they think should make the first round draft selection for the Patriots. Jones says that ownership should make this pick. If Wolf makes the pick they are moving back or not taking a QB. Ownership needs to step in. Just like when Bill wanted to move on from Brady. All this stepping in and getting in the way helped us get a few super bowls! Mego takes the Eliot Wolf (woof) position, Wolf does not have the job right now or the title, but he should be the one to pick, and so does Arcand.
Hour 4 - during the fourth hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand, the crew breaks down recent NFL mock drafts, in which none of them seem to say the same thing on the Patriots. Arcand claims it is because they need to have something new to report every week, but who knows. Then, Mego complains about the St Patrick's Day parade in Southie, and finally, the show ends with their picks on Bet Roulette!
It is time for Bet Roulette! Mego goes with the Bruins Senators under 6.5 goals, Jones chooses Colorado State -2.5, and Arcand rides Bruins -1.5 puck line.
Mego, a Southie resident, poses the question, should the parade be moved from its historic location? There were 11 arrests this past Sunday and Southie residents are complaining. Jones says BOO HOO. No one wants the historic parade to be moved, Arcand agrees. Mego claims to not care either.
Hour 3 - during the third hour of the Jones and Mego show, the crew breaks down their big Q at 2 about the Patriots and the Red Sox potential to not finish in last place, Bradfo joins the show to express his expectations for the Sox going into the season, and Arcand poses the big questions on over under Tuesday for Triple Play!
It is time for Triple Play! The questions today are concerning Jayson Tatum and what place he will finish in MVP voting, how many Red Sox 20 home run hitters will there be, and how many games will the Patriots ride with Jacoby Brissett?
Rob Bradford calls into the show to break down some of his final thoughts from Spring Training. He is excited about the Red Sox going into this season, but realizes that there are a few things missing from the roster, most notably, sure-thing reliable pitching. Also, will the Red Sox Netflix documentary be truthful, or will it be like the Dynasty docuseries?
Hour 2 - During the second hour of the Jones and Mego show the crew begins the hour by discussing the Boston Bruins goaltender tandem, then goes into the pros and cons of trading down in the NFL Draft for the Patriots, and finishes the hour by talking Celtics hoops and their championship desires.
Jones and Mego are on the same page. The Celtics should push for the 66 wins acquired by the last Celtics team to win the NBA Finals. However, Mego thinks they should do it largely without Porzingis. Arcand, on the other hand, says that the Celtics should focus on being rested up for this year's playoffs. Whose side are you on?
Listen to hear what Jones thinks about Linus Ullmark in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Mego and Arcand insist that if the playoffs were to start today, they would start Ullmark. Jones calls Ullmark a choker. Give Swayman a shot at game one.
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand, the crew debates what Boston sports team will make it out the basement this season. Jones claims that a rookie QB combined with the Jets "jetting" will perhaps make room for the Patriots to make it out of last. The Red Sox, on the other hand, are just cheap! ALSO, which Bruins goalie gets game one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs?
Jones is vehemently against Linus Ullmark starting game one of the Stanley Cup playoffs for the Bruins. They stuck with him for way too long last season in the playoffs. He is not that guy. I am not starting Ullmark in any playoff games, says Jones. Arcand and Mego, if the playoffs started today, would start Ullmark.
Jones, Mego, and Arcand debate which Boston area team will not finish in last place after next season. Arcand and Mego say the Red Sox. As we sit here today, we do not know the Patriots draft plan. They have so much less talent than anyone else in their division, says Mego. Jones thinks that a rookie QB could elevate the Patriots out of last.
Hour 4. Jones wonders how anyone can feel good about any Patriots signings. More thoughts on “The Dynasty”. Meg’splaining: What is something that people think is healthy but isn’t. Bet Roulette!
Hour 3. Will the Vikings trade up in the NFL Draft? Mego is starting to buy into JJ McCarthy. What are the Patriots planning to do at the draft? Callers share their thoughts. Triple Play: Buy or Sell Monday!
The crew “Buys or sells” The Steelers plan this offseason, that Sam Hauser should be playing more, and if “The Dynasty” documentary was good.
With more and more positive reports coming out about JJ McCarthy, Mego is starting to buy into the Michigan signal caller.
Hour 2. Justin Fields traded to the Steelers. Why are the Patriots not going after any big name players in free agency? Callers weigh in. The Dynasty series wraps up. What did you like and what did you not like? Bruins struggle to close out the Flyers
The Bruins struggle to close out the Flyers and it has the crew worried that this could be a fatal flaw for the team come playoff time.
Justin Fields was traded to the Steelers over the weekend and the crew wonders if the Patriots should have made a move for the signal caller, given what Pittsburgh had to give up to get him.
Hour 1. Big Q at 2: What should the goal of this draft be for the Patriots? Is there a chance that the Patriot sit a rookie quarterback for the whole season? Taking a look at the bench of the Boston Celtics.
The shorthanded Celtics crush the Wizards in Washington, which has Jones & Mego looking at the importance of the Celtics bench players.
Jones issues a warning to the Patriots and suggests that if New England passes on a quarterback in the draft the team will look bad if the rookie plays well.
With Jacoby Brissett set as the Patriots starter, the crew wonders if the Patriots would start a rookie first round quarterback if they were to draft one.
With the Patriots not making any big moves in free agency, the crew looks at what the Patriots should do in the NFL Draft to field a competitive team.
Hour 4. More thoughts on the final two episodes of "the Dynasty". What are the Patriots doing in free agency? Are the Patriots already done spending? Meg'Splaining: The crew gives relationship advice! Bet Roulette!
With more and more free agents getting signed, Jones, Mego, and Arcand question why the Patriots aren't spending to improve their roster.
What would make you give up the 3rd overall pick? What level has Jaylen Brown been playing at lately? Best and worst free agent signings of the year so far ?
Hour 3. The Patriots are still not burning cash- what are they even doing in free agency? Mego has loved how Jaylen Brown's been playing lately. Joe Mazzulla has another strange moment. Triple Play; Fill in the Blank Friday!
After not learning much in last night's episode of "The Dynasty" the crew wonders if we will ever learn why Malcolm Butler was benched in Super Bowl 52.

Now that "The Dynasty" documentary is over, the crew takes a look at who comes out looking the worst in the series.
Hour 1. Grading the Patriots offseason up to this point. Why is the team refusing to spend money in free agency? Jaylen Brown is playing out of his mind! Psycho Joe Mazzulla is back! Bruins win in Montreal.

With more moves being made around the NFL, the crew gives their grades on the Patriots this offseason.
Hour 4 - The fourth hour of the show starts with some discussion about Mac Jones and his departure from the Patriots. The crew will miss their weekly interviews with him and will never get to follow up about the yips. Then, during Megsplaining, Mego argues with Arcand about what NBA team she supports. Finally, they place their bets during Bet Roulette.
It is time for Bet Roulette! Jones takes the Celtics -6 without Porzingis because the Celtics play well without him, he states proudly. Arcand goes with the Canadians +1.5, as the home team has won each game in the Habs v Bruins series, and Mego is confident in Kevin Durant over 26.5 points.
On this edition of Megsplaining, Mego asks the guys if it is ok to switch sports fandoms. Arcand calls her out for being a fake basketball fan. Mego is from Maryland, she should be a Wizards fan, but she keeps insisting that she is simply an NBA fan. She also says that fans who switch teams to whomever their partner is a fan of are lame.
Hour 3 - during the third hour of the Jones and Mego show, the crew discusses the Celtics and the Nuggets with Brian Scalabrine, breaks down the potential for the Patriots to be good next season with Tom E Curran, and grades NFL team's free agency on Triple Play.
It is time for triple play! The questions asked today were concerning NFL free agency and the Boston Red Sox. First, Arcand asks about which NFL teams deserve an A on their offseason so far? Next, which NFL teams deserve an F? And finally, the crew rates Brian Bello's contract extension. Jones gives it an A because at least the Red Sox are spending something on their players.
NBC Sports Boston's Brian Scalabrine calls into the Jones and Mego show with Arcand to break down the Celtics recent stretch of games, most importantly, their matchup with the Nuggets. He also gets into Grant Williams and his locker room personality, and goes after Mego for drinking Mtn Dew.
NBC Sports Boston's Tom E Curran calls into the Jones and Mego show with Arcand to discuss the Patriots offseason so far. Most notably, he says that the Patriots should put a sign up saying the number three overall pick is for sale. This gets a rise out of Jones, who would not like that. A mini argument ensues. They agree to disagree.
Hour 2 - during the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand, the crew begins by asking the question does free agency even matter at this point for the Patriots? Then Arcand and Jones rip into Mego for her DIET Mtn Dew addiction. The Twitch chat chimes in, as well as Jon in the car. The hour ends with a discussion about the QB market in this year's draft.
Jones asks the question: is it even worth it for the Patriots to sign or trade for anyone? Is Tee Higgins a guy that Robert Kraft, Eliot Wolf, and the Patriots would go after? Jones does not think so, neither does Mego.
Hour 1 - During the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand, the crew breaks down the Patriots free agency so far and where they have gone wrong. Whos fault is it? Jones says Robert Kraft. Jones and Arcand argue about Calvin Ridley, again. Mego says that it is not about winning games this year, it is about the foundation for this team. They will not be respectable this season.
The Patriots recently released a hype video featuring Hunter Henry and Josh Uche... This season will be a disappointing. Jones plan of making a big splash in free agency and getting a QB at three is crumbling. Are we going to have to watch Jacoby Brissett all season? Also, callers try to say the income tax is the reason that Ridley did not sign in New England.
To start off the show, Jones poses the big Q at 2 :Now that the Pats have struck out on Ridley, do you still want them to draft a QB at 3? Mego's opinion has not changed, but she is skeptical, it is a gamble, and you need someone for him to throw to. The entire QB decision should not be decided by a single WR. Jones still wants the QB at three, but less than he wanted yesterday. It really better be their guy. Penix and Harrison could be better. The plan has been broken. If the QB can play, then he can play, but he is close to saying take Harrison and trade back.
Hour 4 - during the fourth hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew breaks down the signing of number one wide receiver Calvin Ridley. Deflated, depressed, and devastated could all be used to describe the mood this hour. Who is to blame? Mego blames Wolf, Jones blames the Krafts. Did they draw a line in the sand with the max value deal to offer to Ridley? Who knows, but the Patriots really screwed this one up.
More reactions from callers, Jones, Mego, and Arcand on the recent news that Calvin Ridley has signed with the Titans. They are frustrated to say the least. Who is to blame for this?
Hour 3 - during the third hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew reacts to the first slow hour of NFL free agency. Ridley is your Justin Jefferson, Mego says. Go get him... little did she know he would run and sign with the Titans less than an hour later. Also, if the Patriots sign Hollywood Brown, Mego has to complain about it. He is not a number one guy. Ridley could have been their Jerry Rice, best receiver by far, says Jones.
Calvin Ridley has signed with the Tennessee Titans. Listen to hear how the crew on Jones and Mego with Arcand reacted.
Since the start of the new free agency season has been so BORING so far, it is time for Triple Play! The questions asked today were which Boston athlete would you want to be the vice president, which player in the NFL would move the needle the most if you could have any player, and when would you want to face the Miami Heat in the NBA Playoffs. Listen to hear how Ryan Garvin really feels about the Miami Heat.
Since it has passed 4:00, the new NFL free agency season has begun. However, nothing has happened yet. Where will the top free agents land? Jones, Mego, and Arcand speculate here:
Hour 2 - during the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew talks about the Calvin Ridley sweepstakes, the end of the old NFL year, and the future of the New England Patriots.
We have arrived to the new NFL season in terms of free agency. Listen to the final moments of the 2023-2024 season here! The crew breaks down the potential for Ridley, Brown, and more to come to the New England Patriots.
Please Patriots, Jones asks, sign someone and prove me wrong. The witching hour of the Calvin Ridley sweepstakes is here. Will Wolf and co. make a move for the two biggest wide receivers on the market right now? Also, Jones thinks the Patriots are hiding something and until 4:00 today. Will the Patriots make a big splash? The crew debates. Also listen to hear how Jones, Mego, and Arcand feel about Hollywood Brown.
Hour 1 - At 4:00, the new NFL free agency season begins. Jones, Mego, and Arcand break down the current landscape and how it does not favor the Patriots. Mike Williams has been released, and no one has heard anything about Ridley yet. In order for this free agency period to be a success for the Patriots according to Jones and Arcand they need to ink at least Calvin Ridley and another big name free agent who will help on offense.
Various NFL reporters are claiming that Drake Maye is not ready for the NFL yet. If he is not the Patriots sure-fire guy to lead their offense, what should Eliot Wolf and co. do? Mego now prefers JJ McCarthy over Michael Penix, should the Patriots trade down? Jones is very against this idea and Arcand would be incredibly surprised if they trade their highest pick since Drew Bledsoe.
To begin the show, Jones poses the big Q at 2: Would signing Calvin Ridley be enough to consider this free agency period a success for New England? Mego says yes, the ability to target and acquire him would mean they are investing in offense, but no way it’s happening. Good enough for her! When they don’t get him, massive failure. Jones says no because he would want another significant piece, and Arcand agrees. The offense still needs plenty of work and investing.
Hour 4 - during the fourth hour of the Jones and Mego show, the crew discusses Calvin Ridley and his potential to sign with New England: Jones does not think so, but Arcand is confident. Next, during Megsplaining Mego dives into Ozempic, weight loss drugs, and Oprah. Finally, during Bet Roulette they make their picks for their daily parlay.

Hour 2 - during the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand they break down NFL free agency and their thoughts on the Patriots offseason plan so far. Jones says this offseason feels awfully familiar, like a Bill Belichick offseason, which is not what he wants. This hour also features a huge argument about Calvin Ridley and discussions about Justin Fields.
At the current moment, Jones believes that Fields would be a great cheap QB option for the Patriots to add to their room. Would it be possible for the Patriots to bring in Justin Fields for a fifth round pick? Jones seems to think so, but Mego is out on Justin Fields. Arcand says that the Patriots would be in the same spot they are now in two years if they traded for him.
Is it enough for the Patriots to just send an offer to Calvin Ridley? Arcand seems to think so. Jones thinks the offer is 100% not good enough, typical Jones. This infuriates Arcand. An argument begins. Listen to hear some prime Jones v Arcand content.
Hour 1 - during the first hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew gets deep into the weeds of the Patriots free agency. They begin by asking the Big Q at 2: How do you feel about the Patriots free agency so far? Jones and Arcand are down on the Patriots. They feel as if they have not done enough yet to compete next season. Mego is cautiously optimistic. Listen to hear about the Onwenu signing, Calvin Ridley, the NFL Draft and the Bruins recent struggles.
The Bruins have not been playing well since the ASG. They are nosediving. They have not righted the ship, says Jones. They have been under .500 since the break. Mego says that she did not think the back to back wins said anything at all about this team. They have levelled out. Their coach is trying to grasp at different ways to approach his team and the situation. Now he is being defensive of his team. All in all, the Bruins need to wake up if they want to make a cup run.
Jones is disgusted by Robert Kraft and the Patriots so far this free agency. He asks, "what are we doing?" Mego is cautiously optimistic, stating that Wolf has checked a few boxes on her to do list. Arcand is also upset, saying that the Patriots are not an attractive free agency destination. Also Calvin Ridley is discussed. Are the Patriots "Nickle and Diming" or are the Patriots a bargaining tool for Ridley so that he can go to his desired destination, Jacksonville... or "Mac"sonville?

SEGMENT-
A simple text from Meek Mill to Robert Kraft may have just changed the tide in Foxboro, with Kraft unveiling that Lamar Jackson texted Meek that he "Wants to come" to New England. It seems like the ball is in the Patriots' court when it comes to Lamar, but is this a Kraft decision or a Belichick decision?
The crew uncovers some telling comments from Belichick in September about Lamar, that could tell us what Belichick is thinking.
SEGMENT-
With just 9 games remaining in the season, who better to talk about the Bruins with then NESN's Andrew "Razor" Raycroft?
Razor joins the crew in studio today to talk all things Bruins.
SEGMENT-
You have to think, it must be a frustrating feeling to go from one of the most historic franchises of All Time across a 20-year stretch, to being as dysfunctional as ever.
You also have to consider the age of the two, Robert Kraft is 81, and Bill Belichick is 70. With all the dysfunction and frustration surrounding the team the last few seasons, how is the relationship between Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick?
Hour 4-
If last season’s drama wasn’t enough, it has carried into the off season, as Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick appear to be indirectly taking shots at each other through the media. It feels like there is a rift between Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft as the team is currently a dysfunctional mess.
The relationship between Kraft and Belichick feels eerily similar to the relationship between Brady and Belichick at the end. If Tom Brady didn’t end his career with the Patriots, what makes anyone think Belichick’s will end differently?
Will so much pressure on Bill Belichick, will he finish his career with the Patriots?
According to Greg Bedard, the Patriots are OUT on Lamar Jackson, and the show is not happy about it.
End game!

With just 9 games remaining in the season, who better to talk about the Bruins with then NESN's Andrew "Razor" Raycroft? Razor joins us in studio today to talk all things Bruins.
Today’s triple play, it’s an over/under Tuesday!
Hour 1-
Let us take you back to 2019, prior to Tom Brady's last season as a New England Patriot. When Brady was frustrated with his contract situation, he told reporters "Talk to Mr. Kraft"... With that in mind, is it really a Belichick decision to bring Lamar to the Patriots, or is this on Kraft?
The relationship between Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick has displayed some cracks recently, and unfortunately for Bill, he's not the boss. With the lack of recent success and the team seemingly as dysfunctional as ever, is Belichick's seat getting warm, and is this a make or break season for BB?
Say what you want about Robert Kraft, but one thing is for certain, he's one hell of a business man. In playing both sides of the street when it comes to Lamar and Mac, Kraft is putting himself in a position he can't be wrong, and Arcand commends him for it.
How much better are the Patriots with Lamar Jackson, and does he automatically make them a playoff contender?
SEGMENT-
Robert Kraft has made his frustration with the lack of recent success from the Patriots well known, and Monday afternoon was no different, as Kraft continued to turn up the heat on Bill Belichick. Hear from Kraft as the gang discusses his comments about Belichick and the state of the Patriots.
SEGMENT-
Hold up wait a minute... Y'all thought Bill was finished!? When speaking to reporters at what seemed to be outside of a bird sanctuary, Robert Kraft said Meek Mill texted him that Lamar Jackson “wants to come” to New England. The crew reacts as Meek could be the saving grace to the Patriots' organization.
SEGMENT-
It feels like the mighty have fallen in Foxboro as it seems the Patriots are starting to become an irrelevant team, which has to be really getting on the nerves of Robert Kraft. With the frustration building at 1 Patriot Place, how much pressure is on Bill Belichick this season?
SEGMENT-
Life without Tom Brady has not been as fun for Bill Belichick and Patriots' fans. The team sits at 25-26 since the departure of the GOAT, and have not won a playoff game since 2018. How much longer do you want to see Bill Belichick as the head coach of the Patriots?
Hour 4-
On a smaller scale, the Patriots’ interest in Lamar Jackson feels kind of similar to the Jaylen Brown situation that is currently unfolding. How does Mac feel about these Lamar rumors, and Belichick not committing to him? The crew discusses.
The AFC East has had a nice off season, as many people have the Patriots tabbed to finish last in the AFC East. Is that still the case if they land Lamar Jackson?
Is there collusion unfolding among the owners right now as they look to limit the guaranteed money that Lamar is seeking?
End game!
Hour 3-
Is there really any doubt that former NFL MVP Lamar Jackson would be an upgrade over Mac Jones? We don't think that's really question, the question is though... Would you want Lamar Jackson at the current price he is demanding?
More Robert Kraft from today as he alluded to the possibility of Jerrod Mayo being the successor to Bill Belichick. Would that be a good move for the Patriots?
Kraft continues to turn up the heat on BB... How short is Belichick's leash heading into the 2023 season?
Meg ‘Splaining!
Hour 2-
It feels like Patriots Nation is split on their feelings about Mac Jones, which raises the question, what is the general consensus on Mac Jones, and should there be an open QB completion in Foxboro this summer?
Robert Kraft also spoke today, and oh boy, did he turn up the heat on Belichick. Is this just another hallow threat for RKK or is the lack of success recently really starting to wear on the big boss?
Today’s triple play, it’s a buy or sell Monday!
Hour 1-

If Mac is the guy, why won’t Bill just name him the guy?

Hour 4-
The Celtics undoubtedly have the best duo in the NBA in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, but for how much longer?

Hour 4
With news breaking that the Ravens have landed a franchise tag on Jackson Lamar, the hottest QB on the market this offseason, the gang hatches up a scenario that could see Jimmy Garoppolo at 1 Patriot Place. Is it feasible? Admittedly no, but it would allow for some creative flexibility with roster transactions.
Hour 3
The Celtics dropped their third straight win last night while battling the Cavaliers in Cleveland. With the game on the line and two shots from the line ahead of him, Grant Williams proclaimed to everyone on the court and lip-reading at home that he'd sink both of them. He went on to miss both and lose the game. Jones rips Grant but understand this whole mess is bigger than just one players.
Segment - Tom Brady would be spitting in the face of every Patriots fan if he returned.
Hour 2
Tom Brady is playing with kittens and testing the free agency waters. Joe Mazzulla is puffing out his chest and putting on his bravest of faces. And Grant is still talking about how he'll make the next free-throw. With all of this we still found time for Raycroft to hit Jones and Mego with some optimism on the day for Boston Sports fans across New England.
Hour 1
After a day filled with critiquing the Celtics and projection where they could potentially fall to if the ship's course isn't righted... The Celtics went on to lose another laugher in Cleveland. Mazzulla was deflecting any blame in his pressers and Jones has had enough. The 'rookie coach excuse' isn't viable in Boston but that didn't stop Mazzulla, after just shedding the interim tag, from throwing up the defense.
From '1st & Foxborough' (subscribe here): The podcast's second mock draft is up, and we think we just got the Patriots' next great receiver with the No. 14 overall pick.

Hour 4
Reports started coming out last week that Bill Belichick was missing form Indy during the NFL combine. He is getting up there in age but it wasn't a matter of wandering onto the wrong flight out of Logan Airport. Bill passed on attending the entire combine and Mego gets it... but she still doesn't love to see it from a coach that missed the playoffs due to a lack of roster depth.
Hour 3
Take your pick of the worst game of the weekend, it'll be a tough one. Jones, Mego, and Arcand dive into the ugly weekend of basketball for the Celtics and how a historic collapse exposed Mazzulla more than he would have liked. Is this just an expected drop off from who they were. Or has this level of play from the C's become who they actually are?
Hour 2
It's well known how much New Englanders questions General Manager Bill, and now that he's not taking part in the NFL Combine it has some folks on the show worried about the start of next years playoff campaign. Mego doesn't think much of the combine, but still doesn't love the visual of Belichick skipping out on looking at draft picks whether it helps or not.
Hour 1
The Celtics decided to take the weekend off like the rest of us as they blew a historic lead against the Knicks in. Jones and Mego kick off the first hour ripping the recently back to Earth Boston Celtics. Mego is officially concerned about the direction of the team and how Mazzulla is game planning in response to some of the on-court challenges.
Hour 4. Is Don Sweeney underrated? Thoughts on the Bruins record pace. Is the MLB pitch clock helping their ratings? Cam Smith's comments Endgame!

Hour 4
Mac Jones reportedly didn't take well to tough coaching despite wanting more of it earlier in his career. Jones and Mego dive into these recent rumors that Mac asked for tougher coaching despite having conflicting reports come out that he's not one for tough love from Patricia. There's a talented quarterback somewhere there and we're here to get to the bottom of how to bring him out.
Hour 3
The odds of the Bucks beating the Celtics in a playoff series is as high as a Boston based movie winning an Oscar. According to Mego, the odds are very low on the latter but the gang is high on the former. Despite the seeding they don't see Cream City stealing series of the two are to face off in the postseason.
Additionally, Mego gets into some Sox talk by winding up the Bloominati with a take that she'd rather watch last year's team than the product on field for 2023.
Hour 2
Jones and Mego are unconcerned about the rest of the NHL when it comes to team dethroning the Boston Bruins. But the things that concerns them the most when it comes to the Bruins' chances of winning a Stanley Cup is Patrick Kane joining the Rangers. Andrew Raycroft calls in to talk about the latest shift in the Eastern Conference of the NFL and about the level of play the B's goaltender brings to each game that he plays.
Hour 1
The Celtics had a huge let down loss last night that can only be summed up as pure stomach bile. Mego was slickened by the display of basketball out of these Celtics as of late, but none more than by the leaders of this team. The gang questions whether the All-Star MVP is a true MVP after the recent collapse in play.
From '1st & Foxborough' (subscribe here): Just because the Chicago Bears are putting the No. 1 pick up for sale doesn't mean the Patriots should put themselves in the bidding. Why trading up to the top pick — or up at all — for a quarterback doesn't make sense for New England this year.

Hour 4
Devin McCourty went on Good Morning Football to talk about his team's quarterback and it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. If Mac hangs around what does that mean for building around the young football players, but if the Patriots move on the big question is if it can be on to anything more promising.
Additionally, the Bruins' newest player acquired doesn't seem too thrilled to be in Boston.
Hour 3
Jones and Mego dive into this weekend's wacky Spring training start as the pitch clock was debuted and - possibly - abused. The gang thinks the Red Sox are already working to game the system and use the pitch clock rules to their advantage.
Additionally, the Celtics and Jayson Tatum look ready for the playoffs. However, their freshman coach is the only bump in their road back to the finals.
Hour 2
Devin McCourty took over some of his twin brother's responsibilities this week on Good Morning Football. While on air he might have aired out some dirty laundry from this past Patriots season. Adam Jones is reading more into these comments because he thinks they're pretty revealing. But even if true, what could this mean for the future of the Patriots and Mac marriage?
Segment - Sure, okay. Goalie goals are rare and fun to see. But, as Jones points out, it was a meaningless goal in a meaningless game.
Hour 1
We had ourselves a full weekend of Boston Sports. Spring training kicking off, The Celtics and Bruins continuing their dominance, and wild finishes all weekend. And while Tatum was knocking down last second shots, Mazzulla was having some match up issues with some of his players more known for their lockdown defense.
Additionally, The pitch clock is here and Arcand isn't the lone dissenter on it's need in today's game. How're the new MLB rules being viewed and can they carry the sport to more prominence amongst the youths?

Hour 3
Derek Carr has been released by the Oakland Raiders and Jones' immediate thought is to bring him to Foxborough. Everyone else on the other hand will fight him tooth and nail on this take.

Hour 2
With the recent accusations on the Red Sox manager's involvement and attitude towards the 2017 Houston Astros cheating allegation getting new life, Jones poses the question of how deserving is Cora to be running the Sox.

With all this dynasty talk around the Chiefs winning Super Bowl 57, the conversation has to be had of whether or not Bill can hang around with the new top dogs of the NFL.

Hour 3
Patrick Mahomes and his legacy is now on the forefront of every football fan's mind as he racks up a second ring with the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57. One caller likens the young QB to Brady but Mego and Jones want one thing perfectly clear, Mahomes doesn't need Andy like Tom needed Bill.

The Super Bowl was... well it was a game that was decided in the last moments. And isn't that what every football fan wants? Jones and Mego acknowledge the momentum shift that occurred with the defensive pass interference in last night's game, but they aren't willing to say it decided the game.

Segment - The gang ranks their top 5 duos across the league in the wake of Brown and Tatum potentially being split up.

Hour 4
Well, it's the best against the best there's no getting around that. But is it truly going to be the best Super Bowl matchup out of this year's playoffs? Jones, Mego, and Arcand dive into Championship Weekend and what the 'Big Game' might shape up to look like.
Additionally, Arcand has a soft spot for Mac all of a sudden. Hear why the crew can't help but feel bad for the Patriots starting QB after what he endured this season.
Hour 3
The Bruins were not just the hottest team in Boston. And not just the hottest team in hockey, but the hottest team in sports. Now that they have dropped their last three games in a painful way, battling back from an early deficit, they're start6ing to look like they believe that they aren't good. Jones won't be proclaiming he was right to call them pretenders early in the season, but he's gearing up for his victory lap.
Hour 2
Will he stay or will he go? Brady watch is hitting a fever pitch as he starts to pop up in public around the Miami area. News from earlier this season indicated there might have been tampering on his front with the Dolphins this past offseason leading Jones to believe Tom is still trying to find his way to South Beach. Arcand pushes back but can't deny that the 7 time Super Bowl champ is likely to remain in the league next season.

Hour 1
It's a Monday after Championship Sunday in New England and the streets are quiet. Patriots fans watching the the Birds and Chiefs move on to the Super Bowl most likely had the realization their team had no shot of competing this season. The undefined offensive schemes in the preseason could have told you that, but these games were the icing on the cake for the Bill Belichick truthers.
So, where to go next? Jones and Mego kick off their debut show diving into the talent gap between the Pats and the NFL's Conference Championship contenders.
From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Rich Hill has faced hundreds upon hundreds of major league hitters over his career.

Hill joins Bradfo to talk about why some hitters are tougher to get out than others, which hitters present the biggest nightmares, and offers a very pointed take when it comes to the problems Major League Baseball continues to have when it comes to the actual baseball.

Hour 3 - Mego, Fitzy, and Hart discuss whether or not the future head coach of the New England Patriots is already within the coaching staff and who its more likely to be. Mego thinks Jerod Mayo will be a head coaching candidate again in the future, will he be the air apparent here in New England? Fitzy, thinks there’s chance he’s been promised the head gig for the future if he stays. Hart thinks Belichick had a honest conversation with Jerod about becoming a head coach, that Mayo isn’t ready yet.
Hour 2 - Mego, Fitzy, and Hart talk more about Karen Guregian and Andrew Callahan's story from the Boston Heralds story on inside the Patriots 2022 season. This raises question about who will return the Patriots coaching staff for 2023, like Joe Judge; would you want him as Special Team's coordinator?
In discussing the Celtics loss to the New York Knicks on Thursday night, Andy Hart strikes a nerve with Mego.
Hour 1 - Mego, Fitzy, and Hart react to the Celtics loss to the New York Knicks at home last night. Jaylen Brown missed what could've been 2 game winning free throws with 7 seconds left in overtime. Joe Mazzulla wasn't very critical of Brown after the game in his postgame presser, but should he have been? Being the Celtics 3rd loss in a row, is there a legit reason for C's fans to be worried now? Fitzy think so. Also, Andy Hart breaks Mego, and Pat Maroon rips Jack Edwards after weight comments from 2 months ago.
Hour 4
Mego, Fitzy, and Hart dive into today's biggest story of the revolt that occurred this season due to Bill putting trust in Patricia and Judge. Now that much our thoughts on what was wrong are vindicated, it's time to acknowledge that Mac was shafted and deserves some credit for doing what he did this season with the little resources given to him organizationally.
Hour 3
An absolute bombshell story hit Boston this morning from the Herald that detailed the crumbling infrastructure of Belichick's coaching staff. Author of the article, Karen Guregian joins Mego, Fitzy, and Hart to detail how she collected information and peer into how deep the mutiny went.
Hour 2
Tom E. Curran joins the show to go over the news that broke today from the Herald that Bill Belichick has rubbed just about everyone in the organization wrong with his coaching hires. Patricia and Judge were always a head scratcher but no one wanted to admit that, until recently where unnamed sources have come out to confirm what we all knew about the ineptness of the offensive coaching staff.
Hour 1
Mego, Fitzy, and Hart woke up to a bombshell, front page locker room leak from the Patriots. The Boston Herald published an article detailing the frustration sources from the coaching staff and player/personnel group had with Bill Belichick this past season. Mego and Co. were conflicted with the state of the Patriots but relieved to know their concerns on the season are validated.

Hour 4
Bill O'Brien will be a fresh start for a lot of the offense going into next year, and according to Dan Orlovsky Mac Jones could be back to his Pro Bowl self if he's kept as a core part of this team. Fitzy joins Mego along with Andy Hart to chat about the new potential for the young Quarterback and how the standard for what teams should be looking for isn't as mobile as Patrick Mahomes.
Hour 3
Mego is getting weirdo vibes from Boston Celtics interim head coach Joe Mazzulla but Brain Scalabrine calls in to temper some of those concerns. It's not so much of a strange trait but Joe Mazzulla has been putting a lot of trust in his young players to make adjustments on the court instead of taking a time out late in the game. Scal calls these concerns overblown and that he has a bigger grasp on the team than the media is putting out there.
Hour 2
Dan Orlovsky joins Mego, Fitzy, and Hart to talk about the Patriots recent signing of Bill O'Brien as their Offensive Coordinator. He thinks that their offensive weapons will be revamped to the point where they could be contenders once again, but there's one guy on that offense that has the most to gain from Billy walking through that door.
Does this mean Jakobi's value has shot up?
Hour 1
Joe Mazzulla is having himself a frustrating run of managerial decisions makings after dropping two easy wins. The Celtics had themselves a great start to the New Year but with key players down, Mazzulla's need to run the ship has never been greater and he's coming up short. Can the interim adjust in time to save himself a full-time job? Mego, Fitzy, and Hart dive into this and some Patriots coaching talk.
From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here) - Chess. It's a game that some would suggest requires the same kind of patience, discipline and strategy as baseball. If any two people knew how much that might be true it would be Joey Votto and Garrett Whitlock. The Reds star and Red Sox pitcher join Bradfo for a fascinating discussion on the game both players have dove head-first into, with Votto taking his experiences with his own chess community to social media for everyone to enjoy. There is also some good Hall of Fame talk. It's a podcast you won't soon forget.

Hour 4
The biggest winner in the recent signing of Bill O'Brien is Mac Jones. The young QB is moving onto his 4th Offensive Coordinator in the last three years, but Belichick decided to bring in a familiar face to both himself and Mac. Mego and Arcand acknowledge that the two barely spent time together in Alabama, but the two at least are familiar with what the other needs.
Additionally, Arcand begs the questions "was this the best signing or the best signing of Bill's friends"?
Hour 3
The Celtics are racking up sick days but that's to be expected from a physical team like them. Mego isn't very concerned from the missed time from key guys on the starting lineup, but dropping games to the Magic is never a good look. The only concerning bit of the loss last night was Mazzulla going after the press. Is it a bit to protect his players from criticism? Or is he actually that short tempered by questions to his coaching decisions?
Hour 2
Tom Brady went on his podcast dropping F-bombs and showing frustration over people wanting to know what his plans are after the season ended. Arcand and Mego tease the fake outrage from the star QB and point out his fit hear may or may not be diminishing after the Bill O'Brien signing.
Additionally, it's likely that bill O'Brien will; have full control over the offensive game planning meaning that Bill will have more time to hone his craft of defensive game planning. Does this mean Patricia is out as a coach in New England? Or, can his good pal Bill keep him around in some compacity before tossing him to the wolves?
Hour 1
Maybe that's a bit of a hyperbole but Mego is certainly ecstatic about today's news that former Patriots Offensive Coordinator, Bill O'Brien, has returned to take up the role for the 2023 season. Everyone considers this a move in the right direction, but Arcand is still hesitant to jump fully on the band wagon. However, one person who has jumped on board is the starting QB, Mac Jones.
What will B.OB mean for the offensive game planning? What players will now be targeted? Arcand and Mego dive into all of this and more.
Hour 4
Winter Weekend took place on Saturday and Friday, and it was a Boston Sports moment for the ages. John Henry, the man who footed the bill on the team who 'Reversed the Curse', was bullied on stage by the Fenway Faithful. Arcand and Mego get into all the silver tongued comments from Red Sox brass this weekend, and just how much they're buying into all of it.
Hour 3
Friend of the program, Tom E. Curran, dropped a piece today hinting at the possibility Matt Patricia is already on his way out the door. Fans have been waiting for this moment, but there's a deeper reason for why Bill kept him around for so long.
And what's the deal with May? Bill has had him accompany all of the OC job search interviews but his role is still undefined or even announced.
Hour 2
Arcand has had enough of these takes and he's concerned for your general welfare. Patriots Twitter reacted in the least rational way to the Divisional Round games this weekend by talking themselves into thinking the Pats could have competed with the likes of the Bengals, Bills and Chiefs. Arcand and Mego want you to know that if they were going to be competitive in the playoffs, they should have been competitive in the regular season.
Hour 1
Would you rather be stuck in an airtight room after Christian Fauria or be up on stage as John Henry at Winter Weekend? Arcand and Mego might take that trade.
The topic of the weekend, and maybe the entire Red Sox offseason, is how John Henry got boo'd quiet by Red Sox fans at Winter Weekend. Ownership and the front office kept stumbling over there own words and shooting themselves in the feet with the answers they provided at the townhall. Mego brings up the question most fans don't want to touch - Is it time for the man who ended the Curse of the Bambino to sell the franchise?
Segment - Arcand and Mego discuss the NFL possibly moving NFC and AFC conference championship games to neutral sites going forward. Adam Schefter tweeted out that more than 50,000 fans have bought tickets for a potential Bills and Chiefs AFC conference championship game.
Arcand is surprised that it got past even being pitched to Goodell, and that this could alienate a lot of fans. Mego says that it takes away from the competition aspect of number 1 seeds playing for home field advantage.
Hour 4 - Arcand and Mego discuss whether or not the Celtics made a statement in beating the Warriors in a ugly, griddy, type of win. Mego thinks the Celtics can replicate this type of game and it was a statement win, and Arcand says a win like this where you grind it out really teaches you more about this team than what a blow out win would have.
Also, outside of the Warriors, do the Celtics have a rival?
Segment - a conversation about the NFL considering a neutral AFC championship for good gets derailed by a shocking fact Mego discovers.
Hour 3 Do the Patriots need to make finding a star wide receiver a priority during this offseason?
Mego thinks It’s a lot of fun to watch those types of players, but I doesn't think that's a priority in this off season. And Arcand says you need these types of players to win games, like what the Eagles did in acquiring AJ Brown from the Titans. Arcand and Mego discuss whether or not Kendrick Bourne can be that type of player for Mac Jones and the Patriots?
Segment - Arcand and Mego feel for Steve Van Gundy when it comes to not being update to date on what the kids are saying nowadays.
Hour 2 Jared Weiss of the Athletic joins Arcand and Mego to breakdown the Celtics win over the Warriors. Jared's main takeaway; no matter the Celtics lead for first place, these teams are the best of the best in the NBA. Jared also says the two team that have the potential to play on the Celtics Levels are the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks.
Segment - Mego relives her journey to getting to TD Garden for the Celtics and Warriors game on Thursday night.
Hour 1 The show kicks off with Mego's odyssey trying to get to TD Garden for last nights Celtics vs Warriors game, dealing with traffic and ending up in the wrong parking garage, making it just in time for tip-off.
Arcand and Mego react to the Celtics win over the Warriors; a good but ugly win.

Hour 4
After meeting in December and dubbing the loss 'not a big deal' the Celtics are looking to seek revenge on the Warriors... Or at least that's how we'd like them to take it. Arcand and Mego dig into the monkey on the Celtics back being the tough time they have with the Warriors' despite being a top team in the NBA.
Additionally, the Bill O'Brien haters - college football fans - will have you thinking he's a mistake as the Patriots OC. But Mego and Arcand are pushing back on that narrative.
Hour 3
Bill O'Brien certainly didn't get love in Tuscaloosa from the Crimson Tide fans, but that should ne of no reason to worry Patriots fans if he steps in to be Offensive Coordinator. Mego isn't a fan of basing a coach's career off of one coaching stint which gives her faith in Bill being the best option right now of the names interviewed.
If the Pats were to move on from Mac Jones, there aren't many Quarterbacks we'd feel comfortable transitioning to. But the idea is worth the consideration. Mego and Arcand take a look at who's on the QB carousel and who would make the most sense with an offensive rebuild.
Hour 2
Arcand and Mego are on a search to find the best mocking chant in sports and the list is pretty top tier. Could Draymond find himself on the receiving end of chant that'll be added to that list tonight, or should Celtics fans take the highroad?
Tom E. Curran calls into the show to discuss the state of the Patriots coaching hunt. How fast are they going to have to move to keep Bill O'Brien a priority in New England? And has their rapid fire interview sessions over the last two days demonstrated their urgency to lock up Bill while being thorough?
Hour 1
We start out the hour diving into the latest interview for the Patriots Offensive Coordinator position. Sean Jackson, former Patriots Wide Receiver, spoke with Bill and whoever else could be in the room yesterday. Arcand and Mego reevaluate the OC board with this new and progressing news cycle.
The duo then dive into the recent comment Draymond made disparaging Celtics and Boston fans.
Hour 3
The Red Sox sign a new outfield bat which can only be chalked up as a band aid for the loss of Trevor Story's bat in the lineup. Arcand and Mego aren't out on the move but it's nothing to write home about.
Additionally, the gang has their weekly catch up with Brian Scalabrine to talk about the state pf the Celtics. How concerned should we be about the comments Smart made, and are there any load management issues that we could see soon? Brian gets to those questions.
Hour 2
We kick off the hour chatting with Dan Orlovsky who drops a hammer on the Tom Brady lottery this offseason. The Patriots are not no longer the team they used to be and that is effecting the pool of talent interested in being in New England. Arcand and Mego reason that there's still something to build around but debate on whether or not that should include Mac Jones for a new Offensive Coordinator.
Hour 1
Rapaport reported on three leaders in the Patriots' search for a new coach to overhaul their offense and shape up their young QB. Arcand and Mego dive into these three candidates and debate how close the Patriots are - or are not - form actually getting them to move into Foxborough.

Hour 4
Reports are coming out of Gillette that Jerrod Mayo has been turning down meetings for coaching positions out of town. this comes a week after being connected to Cleveland as a heavy favorite with some other cities mixed in. what does all of this mean for Bill's game plan for the season to come?
Additionally, Arcand and Mego dive into where Tom Brady might be landing because they says he's going nowhere.
Hour 3
The Jayson Tatum led Celtics are an unstoppable force, and so long as he keeps dropping 50-pieces the gang could not careless about scheduled time off. This Celtics team is barely fraud and to try to discuss it would be disingenuous. Additionally, Arcand and Mego dive into how the Patriots might have sized up against some of the performances from this past weekend had they made the playoffs.
Hour 2
The Boston Bruins are the greatest team in sports only followed up by their roommates the Boston Celtics. The clear difference, aside from the wins, between this year and last year is Krejci out on the ice. The vet has been a sparkplug for this hockey team and the absence of Cassidy is both felt and heard.
Arcand and Mego are joined by Razor Raycroft to discuss just this and what else is going per4fectly for the Bruins.
Hour 1
Teams are now exiting the NFL postseason with free agent quarterbacks that have the eye of New England. One in particular, that Arcand can't wrap his head around is Lamar Jackson. The Raven's mobile QB has been linked to Foxborough and fits the offense Bill wanted with Cam. But that would mean overhauling the whole offense fitted for Mac.
The gang attempts to figure out who the best QB will be for the Patriots come 2023 preseason camp.

Hour 4 - Arcand and Mego are still trying to wrap their heads around the Patriots' press release last night. Furthermore, Andrew Callahan mentioned that coaches were not happy with an early preseason comment made by Mac Jones. How much optimism is there really in the 2023 offseason for the Pats?
Hour 3 - The Celtics won their fifth straight game and they knocked off the Nets once again last night. However, with Jayson Tatum sharing news about his finger injury, should we be concerned about the MVP candidate playing too much? Also, the Wild Card games that will be the most competitive game (if any) in the NFL. And, Mike Reiss believes that a good offensive coordinator will put the Patriots back "in the mix."
Hour 2 - Andrew Callahan is in-studio to talk everything Patriots including the possible candidates for offensive coordinators and if there really is a problem between the coaches and the players.
Hour 1 - After Arcand and Mego discuss the big news of Adam Jones joining the show, yesterday's big new was the press release from the Patriots about Jerod Mayo and the search for a new offensive coordinator. Even though this is a good start, it's not certain Mayo will stick around in New England. How important is it for the Pats to keep Mayo on their coaching staff?
From '1st & Foxborough' (subscribe here): The Krafts weren't lying about changes coming, and they're getting right to it. Not only is Jerod Mayo apparently coming back -- maybe even with a promise to be Bill Belichick's heir-apparent -- but we're finally going to see an outside offensive coordinator hire! Who will it be?

Hour 4 - Arcand and Mego dive back into Tom E Curran's comments from earlier about Matt Patricia and Joe Judge possibly leaking info about Mac Jones. Does this all fall under Bill Belichick's watch? And how to make New England a popular free agent destination like in past years.
Hour 3 - With the Cardinals fielding offers for star wideout DeAndre Hopkins, should the Patriots try to acquire him via trade? The chances that Hopkins would waive his no-trade clause to join a coach that has praised him multiple times in Bill Belichick. Also, how urgent should the Pats be in trying to keep Jerod Mayo on their coaching staff.
Hour 2 - After discussing Vince Wilfork's comments about today's NFL players, Tom E Curran joins and drops a big report suggesting that Matt Patricia and Joe Judge might be going rogue on their head coach. Is there anything deeper being suggested with these findings?
Hour 1 - Arcand and Mego start off by talking about a wild night last night celebrating Christian's birthday and the chaos surrounding the pool game. Then, the discussion surrounding who would be the better option to become the next play caller for the Patriots. And, Tom Werner finally appeared for the Red Sox and had quite a bit to say after extending Rafael Devers.
Hour 4
Reports that Mac Jones was reaching out to other folks in football about his struggles with his OC have come out, and Arcand and Mego aren't entirely surprised. It's shouldn't be a huge concern moving forward, but that's dependent on who he might have been chatting with. The gang dives into the drama in addition to discussing the state of the Sox after a double header of press conference with wide ranging emotions.
Hour 3
We've found an old sound bite about a run in that Bill O'Brien had with a former player that has drawn the attention of Bill Belichick. Arcand and Mego reason that with this rediscovered news, it may be tough to introduce this offensive weapon and bring in OB.
Additionally, the White Mamba, Brian Scalabrine, calls into the show for an update on the Celtics as they progress past their December lull.
Hour 2
Arcand and Mego get news that there are some coaching shake ups on the horizon. Mego is head over heels that this might mean that Patricia is out the door, but Arcand isn't counting his chickens just yet. The two agree that whatever happens this offseason it needs to be a coaching change that can compliment Mac, but how to go about that isn't clear.
Additionally, Dan Orlovsky calls in to cover what is going to happen this offseason for the Patriots.
Hour 1
Rafael Devers is a star and that's all that really matters. Outside of needing a middle infielder, healthy pitching, and an everyday first baseman he's not wrong. Chaim finally pulled the trigger on using John Henry's bank account but Arcand and Mego have already said their peace with the Bloom era in Boston. Is there any upside to 2023? The gang takes a dive into what to expect.
Hour 4
The time is now and the iron isn't hot, and that's all due to Bill's stubbornness. Mego, Hart, and Fitzy lay the ground work for what Bill should be doing and all indicators are pointing to the fact that he just won't listen to reason.
Will Kraft's wallet be opened up by the GM/Coach, or will Bill just try to work through the continued struggles that strafed the team this season.
Hour 3
Andrew 'Razor' Raycroft joins the conversation with Mego and the gang to talk a little sticky puck. The Bruins, led by Pastrnak, are no longer off to a great start but rather a sustainable dominance. After netting another hattrick to cap off their west coast trip, the question of paying Pastrnak has reached a fever pitch only rivaled by that of what Xander saw.
Razor doesn't expect this topic to be a distraction for a team that he believes is self aware enough to see the true goal of raising the cup at the end of the season.
Hour 2
Mego, Hart, and Fitzy start riffling through coaching resumes since Bill is being hesitant to do so himself. What names would be a best fit for the Pats is an easy conversation. The names that actually want to be here is the difficult one. Former Patriots are getting tapped by other teams, but there could be a chance that this fan favorite could get a whistle from Bill.
Hour 1
It's Mego, Hart, and Fitzy tackling the Patriot's offensive woes heading into the offseason. New Englander's attention has been on the question of "how to replace Patricia" while Bill has been focused on... financial planning? From walking back digs on the owner, to not even giving his old protégé a call. The game plan that Mego was seeking has still yet to presented, but has one name appeared to correct this?
From 'Gametime with Boomer Esiason' (subscribe here), This week's guest is the New England Patriots three-time All-Pro linebacker sensation, Matthew Judon.

Hour 4
Arcand and Mego are hesitant to call for the job of the most winningest Head Coach in the Super Bowl era. However, they're more than eager to get a fresh set of eyes and some new perspective around ole' Billy Football. From needing the glaring obvious - a new Offensive Coordinator - all the way to revamping the special teams, the gang runs through all the available names out there and who should be prioritized by the Patriots.
Hour 3
Bill Belichick made some comments in regards to Mac's ability to be an NFL QB in yesterday's postgame press conference. However, Arcand and Mego believe there's much more to what he said. The gang debates whether the Patriots can move forward with Mac and what it will take if they do or if they don't.
Additionally, Kingsbury is on the market to be an OC but how fast does Bill need to act to get him in the door and help out this offense. Who's the one coach you want to see walk through that door?
Hour 2
Another Boston based team being cheap in the year Two Thousand and Twenty Three? Quite honestly, color us shocked! The Patriots ranked low in team across the league this year, but where they did spend ended up being poor investment. Andy Hart joins the not-so-certified Sports CPAs, Arcand and Mego, as they attempt to balance Kraft's checkbook.
Hour 1
Kraft has come out to voice his concerns with the Patriots' on field product and the direction this team took this season. He even doubled down on this by sending a letter to season ticket holders earlier today. Arcand and Mego discuss the results of the season and the possible passive petulance between coach and owner. Andy Hart joins the conversation to give his expert insight as the trio try to figure out who's out and who's in personnel-wise.

Hour 4
The NFL has announced it's decision on how to decide on homefield advantage and playoff seeding since Buffalo and Cincy won't be making up their game. With word spreading to the Bengals locker room, it has become apparent they aren't too pleased and Arcand and Mego completely get the frustration. The gang attempts to understand the decision making progress of the league and mull over some better ideas they should've considered.
Hour 3
Jayson Tatum went to social media to express some of his NBA roster decision making opinions after this former Celtics player hit free agency. Arcand and Mego thinks that this guy wouldn't be an addition to the team, however, with Tatum hitting 'superstar' status they aren't sure if the Celtics will abide by his requests or not. Taking a trip around the league, the two hunt for who could actually make a difference if added ahead of the trade deadline.
Hour 2
With news that Damar is now awake and alert, the focus has shifted to how the Bills will play this Sunday against your New England Patriots. Arcand and Mego talk with Andrew Callaghan of the Boston Herald about how things are shaping up in Foxboro ahead of their matchup with the now team of destiny.
According to Callaghan, the mood has shifted back to a focus on football but that might not even be enough for this already inept offense to keep up with the thrilling Bills offense led by Josh Allen. What will have to go right and who will need to show up for the Patriots to even sniff a win?
Hour 1
Earlier today the NFL ruled on the question of what to do if games are not made up and how it might affect the AFC playoffs. Mego and Arcand break down the decision by the league to allow win percentage to be the rule of law incase teams with uneven games played square off. Are there better ways to decided this? Is a coin toss promotable?
Additionally, the week ahead is a who's who's of backup QB's and we're here to break things down.
From '1st & Foxborough' (subscribe here): The Patriots come into Sunday's game as the underdog with their playoff chances on the line. The Buffalo Bills come in playing for Damar Hamlin, who's improving every day after his cardiac arrest. Can New England weather the storm?

Hour 4
Buffalo Bills quarterback, Josh Allen, and head coach, Sean McDermott addressed the media this afternoon after Damar Hamlin regain consciousness. Their emotional statements made it clear the Bills would be ready to play this Sunday against the Patriots in Buffalo. Arcand and Mego are in agreement that the Bills are now a team of destiny and the Patriots' playoff odds are further in jeopardy.
Hour 3
Mac Jones is starting to gain more criticism from across the league for his dirty play, but the need to figure out its origins has Mego reeling. Regardless of the attitude on field, it doesn't negate the justified frustration towards the lack of support from the coaching staff.
Additionally, the recent sidelining of Jake DeBrusk gets Arcand and Mego wondering how his absence could effect this streaking Bruins team. His willingness to play after demanding a trade under Cassidy has blossomed into some of his best hockey.
Hour 2
The Boston Red Sox have finally opened up their wallets and paid a homegrown player, but Arcand and Mego are still frustrated with the lack of clear direction the team is heading in for the near future. Chaim and Co. continue to say they wish to be competitive in 2023 but their actions only continue to disprove that as they cut ties with talented players and make moves for the long term rather than for the upcoming season.
Additionally, the gang talks to Tom E. Curran about the state of football and how the Patriots are preparing in an unprecedented time for the NFL.
Hour 1
News of Damar Hamlin has continues to effect not just the football world but the entire sports world. After passing on media availability yesterday, Bill Belichick got in front of the mic today and showed a level of humility not seen during his time in the NFL. Noting that the life took precedent over the game of football this week and that his respect for the players on the field is insurmountable.
Additionally, the incredible news everyone was hoping for has come as Damar regained consciousness earlier today. He continues to remain in the ICU but doctors note that he has made progress that should make folks optimistic.
From 'In The Huddle' (subscribe here), Carl and Baldy breakdown the games with major playoff implications such as Packers vs. Lions, Dolphins vs. Jets, Bills and Patriots along with the offseason plans of teams who could end up on the outside looking into the playoff picture.

Hour 4
The Boston Red Sox have done the impossible and signed a homegrown player to a long-term deal. Well. maybe not impossible but definitely unimaginable after seeing Xander Bogaerts head West. Arcand and Mego react to the $331 million contract that will keep Devers a Red Sox for the next 11 years. The deal restores some Red Sox Nation faith in Fenway Sports Group and Chief Baseball Officer, Chaim Bloom, but is it enough after everything that has transpired since 2018?
Hour 3
Scalabrine calls into the show to discuss an abysmal Celtics performance in last night's game to Oklahoma City. Mego calls it the worst performance for the team in over a year and it's hard to argue against that. After a let down of a month in December and now this... is it time to panic on Causeway? Scal thinks not.
Hour 2
Rex Ryan went out on a limb, which for a guy like him is dangerous, and proclaimed that Bill Belichick is in the midst of his best head coaching season yet. Citing that this is due to a lack of talent on the roster and still the Patriots have found themselves in playoff contention, Arcand and Mego are taking that opportunity to dunk on the former Patriots Defensive Coordinator for the clear embellishment of the truth.
Could his delusions be due to the fact that, like Patricia, he is a defensive minded coach? Or, maybe he's just looking out for his ole pal? Either way, him and the takes coming from those nashers are rubbing the gang the wrong way.
Hour 1
With the NFL and football world still grappling with the tragedy of Damar Hamlin collapsing on field from cardiac arrest, the determination of whether or the Bills will come to New England has still yet to heard. The two teams are slated to play at 1pm on Sunday, but with today's cancellation of media availability for both the Bills and the Patriots there still seems to be no clear decision.
Arcand and Mego reason that this week's game will likely be played but with the unprecedented nature of the incident there isn't any true comparisons to this situation to really know.
Hour 4
Arcand and Mego have NFL commenter Dr. Jess Flynn on to discuss what actually happened to Damar Hamlin and how these types of injuries can be avoided or reduced. The trio chat about how this might effect the sport of football or how parents look at their children playing.
Hour 3
The past 24 hours have been chaotic to say the least and one of the storylines is that the Patriots' playoff odds are the highest they've been all season. In a season that has felt the furthest thing from a typical Pats year, they still somehow have found a way to be in the postseason discussion. This doesn't mean feuds have died down, in fact, the rumors and stories of Kraft calling out Belichick that have been coming out of the bowels of Gillette Stadium have only been flowing more heavily.
Hour 2
Ross Tucker joins the show at the top of the hour to discuss the current state of football in the wake of Damar Hamlin. Following that, Arcand and Mego transition out of football talk for a bit with Andrew Raycroft to talk about the Bruins staying hot and their recent late game victory at Fenway capping off their elite play. How legitimate is their play and can it be sustainable with a veteran core?
Hour 1
Arcand and Mego kick off the start of their new show with what feels like the only important thing in sports today; Damar Hamlin's on field revival after suffering a heart attack. There are endless questions that have stemmed from this incident that range from the overall state of the game of football down to playoff pictures and schedule changes. However, none as important as the health and safety of Damar Hamlin.

If the Raiders do move on from Carr, could the Patriots make a run at Adams?

Hour 4 - Arcand and Khari both agree that the defense has the ability to stop Teddy Bridgewater and the Dolphins' offense. Will they have enough to keep their playoff hopes alive?
Plus, should we dive more into Mac Jones' hit on Eli Apple that got him fined? Could this lead to further trouble down the road?
And, last call sends an emotional farewell to a legendary brand.
Hour 3 - The Celtics have now won three straight after losing three straight and look like their old selves again. Arcand and Khari talk with Brian Scalabrine about the things to watch for as the season goes along. And does any duo in the NBA come close to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown?
Also, another tough shootout loss for the Bruins, but there's no reason to panic according to Arcand.
Segment - Celtics' analyst Brian Scalabrine joins Arcand and Khari to talk about the roll the Celtics have been on after their small skid and what are the most important keys as the season enters the new calendar year.

Segment - Arcand and Khari are joined by ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky to talk about the Patriots' continued poor performance on offense, Mac Jones being labeled as a dirty player, and the possible QB carousel in 2023.
Hour 1 - Christian Arcand and Khari Thompson start by discussing Dolphins' quarterback Tua Tagovailoa being ruled out with a concussion for Sunday's matchup against the Pats. With this being his third concussion of the season, is it time to talk about the long-term plan or if Tua should continue to play football?
Also, with Josh McDaniels and the Raiders benching Derek Carr, does that open the door for Tom Brady to reunite with his former offensive coordinator? And could Mac Jones be an option for Las Vegas in 2023?
SEGMENT-
Audacy NFL Insider, and Westwood One color commentator, Ross Tucker joins Christian Arcand and Khari Thompson to discuss Saturday's loss to the Bengals, Tua being in concussion protocol, and the play of Mac Jones.
SEGMENT-

Hour 4 - Tom E. Curran told our friends Fitzy and Hart today that Bill O'Brien returning to the Patriots is 'probably going to happen.' Is this what the Patriots' offense needs?
Forget about the (Not so) immaculate reception 2.0 by Jakobi Meyers, Mac Jones was solid for the Patriots in the second half. Does his play in the second half give you any boost of confidence?
Its almost safe to say that the Patriots whiffed on their 2021 free agency class. Partially their own fault, but what confidence do you have in Bill Belichick to build this team back?
Hour 3-
Tua Tagovailoa suffered his THIRD concussion of the season in Sunday's loss to the Green Bay Packers. There has been plenty of skepticism around Tua's concussions, and specifically how they have been handled by the team. At what point do the Dolphins have to consider shutting Tua down for the season?
It's not often you hear a quarterback referred to as a "Dirty Player", but has Mac Jones established that reputation?

Hour 4 - Bill Belichick was pretty short last night about the multitude of mistakes made by his team. His comments though seemed to deflect some responsibility to the player. Is this a good move?

Hour 2 - Still reeling from the Pats' collapse to the Raiders, questions are still being asked. After coach Bill Belichick said they couldn't throw far enough to attempt a Hail Mary, should that be interpreted as a criticism to Mac Jones? Plus, could we see the reutn of Bailey Zappe as the starting quarterback?
Hour 1 - The crew is live from Gillette to talk about the debacle the Pats had against the Raiders and who gets the blame for not just giving up the winning score, but the multitude of mistakes they had.

Hour 4
Matthew Slater made some choice comments earlier this week that indicated to Fauria, Lou, and Mego that a change of leadership might already be in motion for the guys going out on the field. With how Mac has been commanding the offensive without the need for Patricia's help, are fans now looking at their future captain?
Additionally, news breaks that Celtics big man, Rob Williams, will be making his return. He'll be a nice additional, but Mego is worried the return might be too early for the injury he's recovering from and while the Celtics don't necessarily need him.
Hour 3
The Patriots aren't the only ones going through leadership change, as indicated by Matthew Slater, outgoing Governor of the Commonwealth will be the new President of the NCAA beginning in March of 2023. Charlie Baker was poached by the collegiate sports organization with the help of Sam Kennedy and the Red Sox for the position.
In addition to bidding a farewell and a best of luck to the station's friend, Lou dives into some more Sam Kennedy talk in regards to the recent news of the organization DFA'ing the once gem of the Mookie Betts trade - Jeter Downs.
Hour 2
30 year stalker of Lou Merloni, Tom Curran calls into the show to talk some Patriots following some eyebrow raising comments from players about the direction the coaching staff is heading in. With Bill unwilling to deviate from everything that has gone poorly - that everyone knew would go poorly - it's time to worry if the future of the Patriots are in jeopardy.
Additionally, Mego thinks Mac is a loose cannon with the coaching staff unwilling to reprimand him for his fire and fury on the field directed at his offensive coordinator. She says it's not necessarily a bad thing, but what does it mean for the motivation of the guys he's leading?
Hour 1
The players are rising up and taking matters into their own hands from the sounds of it. Lou, Fauria, and Mego dive into some sound bites from insiders and team vets that may indicate that Patriot players aren't too happy with Bill taking his foot off the gas as the team heads down the final stretch of the season still in playoff contention. Fauria brings up experiences from his own playing career that might show this is the best case scenario for a team feuding with their coach.

It's football, get over it if that bothers you. At least, that's how Mac sees it and told the gang as he popped on the show to chat about last night's Monday Night Football win in Arizona. Mac put up a performance despite some glaring issues with the play-call and this was hashed out along with what the plan should be moving forward for the Patriots since the season has essentially plateaued.
Hour 2
Mac Jones showed up big time in the second half of a game that probably should've been over in the first few minutes of the game after Kyler Murray went down with an ACL tear. From leading his team downfield, despite his OC, to picking up his teammates when faced with adversity.
It was Mac's time to shine in primetime, but did it unveil some unsavory truths about where the Patriots are heading after this team and possibly past Bill Belichick once he's gone.
Hour 3
Mac Jones was caught mouthing off to Offensive Coordinator, Matt Patricia, on primetime last night during the Patriots' MNF thrashing of the Cardinals. Despite his many-many-MANY flaws as a coach and OC this season, is Mac in the right for yelling at his OC? Lou and the crew weigh in along with the rest of Pats Nations.
Hour 1
Hit the intro music and get the popcorn ready because Succession is coming back earlier than expected. Only it's the sports version and everyone is grumpy over wins and not money. It's starting to look like Bill Belichick, who is climbing high on the age ladder, might not have a clear cut exit strategy and succession plan for who will be taking the reigns of his masterpiece.
Judge clearly isn't the guy. Patricia is still trying to figure out how to read the back of the box for his model rocket set. Mac Jones might not be 'the guy'. And your son can't truly coach a set position let alone an entire team. Tom Wambsgans might just bumble his way through the doors at 1 Patriot Place in Foxboro and take the throne himself.

The Bruins continue to roll the entire NHL and the Celtics with Tatum at the lead look primed for revenge on their unfinished business from last season
Hour 2
It's tough times in the Fauria corner but we stay loyal. Guest after guest to the station have taken Wiggy and his paws over Fauria and his Super Bowl winning hands, so we turn to the life blood of WEEI to build up the former Pats TE ahead of this week's catch off.
Outside of New England, the NFL has been experiencing just as strange of a season. Vegas for instance has gone from having an interim coach take them to the playoffs, to having a successful OC run the Raiders into the red. McDaniels has had better football experiences but the gang questions why he remains in the Sin City and has even gotten the confidence from ownership that his job will be there next season.
Hour 1
YOUR New England Patriots have secured themselves a playoff spot by doing quite literally nothing this week. Some are calling it the greatest Bye Week boondoggle of all time, but the gang is calling it the luckiest waltz into a playoff picture in recent memory. Merloni, Fauria, Mego, and newest addition Christian Arcand are talking about the crazy week of football in week 10 of the NFL.
The Miami Dolphins are a surprising juggernaut in the AFC East, the Bills are on fraud watch as Allen ponders going under the knife, and the Jets are... well the Jets. Can the Patriots keep pace with the NFL in a chaotic year, or will they fall victims to their own division down the homestretch of the season?
Segment- The Patriots are off this week, not sure if you’ve heard, but the Patriots might actually be able to pick up a win this weekend. How? Lou, Fauria, and Fitzy tell us how.
Segment- Matt Patricia and Joe Judge had their media availability and they said a whole lot of nothing in a whole lot of words, but they do get new nicknames
Segment- What has been the signature moment, signature game, and the most entertaining game of the Patriots season through 9 weeks.
Hour 4- Fitzy hears Fauria’s plan for the Patriots to win out and rebuttals with a plan of his own. Mut vs the Show and Context not included
Hour 3- Could it be that Patriots players are so fed up with how predictable and stale the offense is, that they are purposefully leaking out that players are calling out their plays before they happen. What’s going to happen with the Red Sox and Xander Bogaerts?
Hour 2- The Patriots offense is putrid, other defenses know their plays, Mac is unhappy, is there any hope this can be fixed over the bye or is the season unofficially over? Matt Patricia and Joe Judge get new nicknames.
Hour 1- Fitzy is in with Lou and Fauria today and they talk about the Bucs going to Germany, the state of the Patriots and what the most entertaining game has been this year. It’s not just a Patriots thing but it’s been a NFL issue too.
Boomer Esiason and Mike Valenti go all around the NFL with latest take aways from week 9 and preview week 10. Also their pick against the spread and give their mid-season awards.

SEGMENT-
Introducing the Mac Jones Defense Team. Presented by the offices of Christian Fauria, Tom E. Curran, Phil Perry, and Dan Orlovsky.
Hour 4
The Patriots had a weak showing in Week 9 against the Colts, but it was enough to get the Dub. Mac Jones continued to look uncomfortable in the pockets and he certainly isn't healthy enough to be outside the pocket. But who does the blame fall on. The offensive line that can't provide protection for the quarterback? Or the quarterback who can't adjust to a bit of adversity?
Hour 3
It's a Victory Monday on a Patriots Monday which means we've got Mac jones joining Merloni, Fauria, and Mego. They chat about what the young quarterback saw - and how well he saw it - on downfield looks from the pocket. Despite a Bye week ahead of the team, the Patriots are full steam ahead after a lack luster win against the Colts.
Hour 2
Patrice Bergeron spoke for the city on Saturday when he made it known he opposed the roster addition of Mitchell Miller. Between Bergy highlighting he was made aware of the situation a week ago, and the fact that he was not listened to, Merloni reasons that the Bruins and Don Sweeny were banking on fans not caring as much as they did.
Will this blunder be enough to make heads roll? MegO thinks otherwise but wouldn't be shocked to see things fall that way.
Hour 1
The Patriots just aren’t enjoyable proclaims Mego. The offense is to blame for the lackluster product on the field shouts Lou from the rooftops. Nothing is fixable cries Fauria. Your above .500 New England Patriots, fresh off a win over the Colts, have been ruled dead despite what the numbers tell you.
After an ugly win that had fans questioning the legitimacy of this team, the gang debates from the bowels of Gillett Stadium whether or not this team is in fact just that. Legitimate. Fauria says the offensive line since day one should’ve been a dead give away for this results of Mac looking uncomfortable and rushed in the pocket since returning from his injury.
Is there anywhere to go for this Patriots team or is the AFC just too tough to salvage a playoff season?
From a clip of 6 Rings & Football Things (Subscribe Here)The Patriots' offense was less than impressive again on Sunday, and it's starting to become a bigger concern. Christian Fauria joins the show to discuss his concerns with the Patriots offense.

If Ime becomes the Nets head coach does he have any chance of being able to turn the Nets around with Kyrie on the team? Is the MLB losing fans because the Astros pulled their pitcher while he was throwing a no hitter in the World Series?
Hour 1: The Patriots and Colts use to be one of the best games every year, but that is no longer the case. National media members keep taking shots at Mac Jones and his poor performance this year and but all the blame on him.

Hour 2: Dan Orlovsky joins the show to start the hour and breaks down Mac Jones performance against the Jets. Is Mac Jones struggling this season because his offensive line is awful and causing Mac to scramble even more? The Patriots made zero moves at the trade deadline while the other teams in your division got better.
Hour 1: Could Ime Udoka be the Nets head coach this weekend and can he turn around one of the Celtics main rivals. Are the Celtics just trying to move on from Ime Udoka and the cloud that was hanging over the Celtics?
Mego is getting heated that the Celtics are just letting Ime Udoka leave to become the Nets head coach for nothing.
Ime Udoka is the front runner to be the Nets next head coach, but should Celtics fans be mad if the Celtics don’t get compensation for Ime? Mego takes a page out of Lou’s playbook and become Angry Mego
Ross Tucker joins to talk about Mac’s performance and win over the Jets. They also talk about Mac Jones poor performance compared to his rookie season and if he can turn it around.
Hour 4: Why are the Celtics giving Ime Udoka to their rival for no compensation? Should the Celtics be trying to get compensation for Ime Udoka or do they just want to wash their hands of the situation and move on? Fauria and Wiggy have a location for their showdown.
Hour 2: The NFL Trade Deadline was today and a lot of big names moved, but none of them are joining the Patriots. Lou gets in a battle with the “All 22” crew who are saying Mac Jones’ processing over the past 2 weeks has been some of his best.
Hour 1: The Nets have fired Steve Nash after 7 games and it sounds like Ime Udoka could be the leading candidate. Could Ime be the Nets next head coach in the next 24-48 hours? Should Celtics fans be upset that the Celtics are just letting Ime Udoka walk for nothing?
Hour 3: Mac Jones has been having a sophomore slump, but is it because of him or is it because of the play calling? Can Mac Jones return to his rookie form and prove he is the quarterback of the future. Fauria calls out Wiggy and we will finally get the answer of who is the best tight end at the station.
Watching Mac Jones in real-time last Sunday was far from inspiring. But the beleaguered quarterback looked better after a second look at the tape, which is good news for the Patriots going forward.

Segment - Mac Jones joins the program following his win over the Jets and return to the game following his ugly attempt to return to the field last week.
Hour 4
After being the topic of the afternoon, Mac jones joins Merloni, Fauria and MegO to talk about Sunday's win over New York and how he's feeling health wise moving forward. Questions of if he's up to the task of cementing his spot as the quarterback of the Patriots are somewhat answered... we think.
Hour 3
The NFL trade deadline is looming on all Hallow's Eve and Dr. GM and Mr. Coach could be in the lab all night calling on teams looking to move anything from O-linemen to WRs with hands not made of tombstones. Fauria, Mego, and Merloni mull over what trades would make sense for the Pats and which should be the highest of priorities for Belichick heading into "undead"line.
Which positions should be addressed, or what players need to be moved on from?
Hour 2
Mac Jones has been the focus of this Victory Monday, and it has mostly been his performance on the field that has had Merloni, Fauria, and MegO's attention. But this moment after the game should be revealing of where Mac stands with Head Coach Bill Belichick.
Despite having Bill's trust and confidence, has Mac done enough consistently to keep the position going forward after this season?
Hour 1
It’s a Halloween edition of ‘Victory Monday’ as the gang gathers around the desk down in Foxborough to perform a seance and ressurect days of Patriots past. Mac Jones performed just good enough to get New England a win, but Lou is adamant that the kid was LUCKY. Is Mac the guy for the team or is he still just a temporary fix for a failing system?
Needless to say it was a sloppy win, but callers punch back at Lou saying that he is being too rough on the young QB. Is the judgement fair, or do we need to wait out Mac as he recovers to his full self?
So much for that being a challenge: the Patriots punk the Jets once again despite Mac Jones and the offense continuing to look rough.
