The Rich Keefe Show

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show for Tuesday, October 7th, 2025.

In the first full show in some time, Christian starts off by discussing the connection the Patriots have made with their fan base following their big win Sunday night in Buffalo. What aspects of the team have fans the most excited? Then, a look into the 6:30 Headlines including the reaction from the Jaguars' win over the Chiefs on Monday Night Football and the eve of the Bruins' season opener. And, lots of teams have been labeled the "next big thing" and the Pats look to be on the cusp on that group.

Arcand looks into what he saw from Mike Vrabel greeting his team outside the locker room and Christian Gonzalez praising his current head coach. With Gonzo saying its easy to play for Vrabel, the connection from head coach to players looks to be in an awesome state. Then, Tom King from the Nashua Telegraph joins the show to speak more on the Pats and what the future looks like with Stefon Diggs' presence and the thinning running back room. And, everyone has been praising New England for their win over Buffalo except for one person: Chris Broussard.

Craig Breslow seemingly said the right things at their end of season press conference yesterday. What are the actual expectations for the Sox this offseason and where should they spend their big money? Then, two men were arrested in a scene in Tremont Street that Christian downplays a little bit in the New England Nightly News. And, it is a very odd circumstance Mark Sanchez has found himself in over the weekend.

In the final hour of the show, Arcand gets into the Bruins now less than 24 hours away from starting a new season and why the goals should remain pretty lofty. Why Jeremy Swayman is the key to the entire B's success. Then, Christian gives his thoughts on the intensifying mess at UNC with Bill Belichick along with other topics in the Arcand Fire. And, LeBron James gets back into athletes making beer commercials in Clickbait.

Tonight in the Arcand Fire, the latest drama down at UNC with Bill Belichick, Joe Flacco being traded to the Bengals, and an odd fine for Cardinals' head coach Jonathan Gannon following an altercation regarding one of the biggest boneheaded mistakes a player can make.

On the even of a new season of hockey for the Bruins, a tough season prior has fans down on the team entering the new campaign. However, with the talent still on the roster, expectations of the B's making the playoffs might need to be raised.

In a wild scene in the overnight hours this past weekend, two were arrested for shooting fireworks at a police car which Arcand downplays just how wild a scene it was in the New England Nightly News.

Christian reacts to Craig Breslow's comments from Monday's end of season press conference and was fairly happy with what Breslow said. Specifically on Bregman, his numbers don't support the money he and Scott Boras might want, but the push to resign him should still be there.

Christian is joined by his longtime friend Tom King of the Nashua Telegraph to get more into the Patriots regarding their identity, Mike Vrabel's attention to details, and what they do with a even thinner running back room.

Robert and Jonathan Kraft wanted a coach that was tough, can connect to players, and have an effective scheme; Jerod Mayo was supposed to be that guy, but the Patriots got extremely lucky to have Mike Vrabel be all of that and more.

There have been many teams over the years who have been dubbed as the "next big thing" on their way to a solidified contender. While the Patriots haven't gotten there yet, they have one weapon that teams who were on the verge, but never got there have: Drake Maye.

Christian opens the show by giving the elements of the Patriots from Mike Vrabel to Drake Maye to even their kicker about how the fanbase in New England are invested and have that dedication once again.

Its a power hour edition of the show and Arcand is feeling just like the rest of Patriot Nation after the Pats' 23-20 win on Sunday Night Football. How high is the upside for the rest of the season and why does the defense needs to be shown more love? Then, for as good as everything is going, the running back room has more questions thanks to another Rhamondre Stevenson fumble and Antonio Gibson's injury. And, the playoffs could be realistic for the Pats, but Christian goes as far as giving them 9 wins before their bye week in Week 14.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show for Friday, October 3rd, 2025.

Its still fresh, but Arcand still feels disappointed for the Red Sox ending their season with such a whimper against the Yankees. However, in the big picture, the future looking bright means the Sox can be back in this spot next season. Also, the rest of the MLB playoffs and a surprise performance from Mac Jones in the 6:30 Headlines. And, Christian makes the argument that trading away Rafael Devers didn't factor into the team's success afterwards since their strength was their pitching.

There is an offseason that the Red Sox now need to focus on and Arcand lists some free agents that Craig Breslow should inquire on. What is the biggest need and where can they get it from in free agency? Then, Pat Brown from the "Play Tessie" podcast joins the show to explain where things turned for the Sox in their series with the Yankees and which outfielder might need to go in their current surplus. And, it was the Sox first playoff appearance in four years, but would that be considered overachieving?

In the final hour, Christian chats with Sean McAdam of MassLive as the season is still in mourning following last night's elimination. Will the Sox spend big once again and will they able to retain Alex Bregman should he opt out of his contract? Then, more is discussed in Arcand Fire including Sheduer Sanders' actions, Al Horford leaving the Celtics, and the mayoral race in Boston. And, in Clickbait, Stephen King admitted he almost got a divorce because of a very strange obsession.

There are lots of news for Christian to react to including his fellow former Colorado Buff making headlines again, the NFL picking Bad Bunny to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and a reaction to the Boston Mayoral race in tonight's Arcand Fire.

Red Sox writer for MassLive Sean McAdam joins the show to discuss where things turned for the Red Sox, if the front office is willing to spend big once again, and the curious case of trying to retain Alex Bregman.

With the elimination in the Wild Card Series versus the expectations that many had, the question needs to be asked: did the Red Sox overachieve this season?

Christian is joined by Pat Brown from the "Play Tessie" podcast to continue mourning about the end of the Red Sox season, the plays where the Wild Card Series turned against the Sox, and why Jarren Duran might not be on the 2026 roster.

Looking back on the season that was, Arcand argues that the run that the Red Sox went on had to do with the starting pitching and not ridding the clubhouse of Rafael Devers.

The feelings of the Red Sox season being over definitely sting, but after explaining the issues the Sox had in their Game 3 loss to the Yankees. Arcand describes why there are more bright spots for the future.
