Podcast appearances and mentions of Alex Cora

Are we confident the Red Sox will supplement their talent after Alex Cora, Craig Breslow, and Sam Kennedy's end-of-season press conference? What will happen with Alex Bregman? The team has to spend the money cleared by the Rafael Devers trade, but who should they target as they have a lot of holes to fill on their roster?

The Boston Red Sox are out of the playoffs after another painful October exit, and the New England Patriots just flipped the AFC conversation with a dramatic 23-20 Monday Night Football win in Buffalo. Rayshawn and Mike go all in on both stories, giving you the most detailed breakdown of where Boston sports stand and what comes next. We open with the Red Sox collapse against the New York Yankees, dissecting every mistake and missed opportunity. Game 2 was defined by defensive breakdowns and costly fielding errors that flipped momentum. Boston’s lineup struck out 12 times in the clincher, exposing a top-heavy order that couldn’t produce in clutch moments. Garrett Crochet gave the team a chance on the mound, but questionable bullpen decisions — including Connelly Early’s quick hook — raised eyebrows. We debate whether the Rafael Devers trade, made to reshape the lineup, ended up hurting the team in this short series, and what it says about Boston’s long-term strategy. Then we take on the Alex Cora question head-on. Is he still the right manager to lead this roster forward, or is a reset overdue? From there, we map out a full offseason blueprint. Boston needs more than tweaks — they need cornerstone moves. We spotlight free-agent and trade targets like Kyle Tucker, Kyle Schwarber, and Pete Alonso, each of whom would immediately transform the lineup’s power and consistency. We also break down key internal decisions: how Jarren Duran’s speed and upside factor into their future plans, whether Wilyer Abreu should be part of the team’s core or trade bait, and how Trevor Story’s health and defense could stabilize the infield. We discuss why Roman Anthony’s development is crucial and why the bullpen must be rebuilt with reliable depth and a clear closer to anchor late-inning leads. The Red Sox can’t afford another “bridge year.” This offseason must be aggressive, decisive, and focused on competing in 2026. Then we shift to football, where Drake Maye’s breakout game has the Patriots fan base buzzing. In just his fifth career start, Maye went toe-to-toe with Josh Allen and came out on top, delivering clutch throws in high-pressure moments and showing major growth in pocket presence and decision-making. Stefon Diggs proved why he’s still a top-tier wide receiver, posting another 100-yard performance and opening up the offense for others. Hunter Henry continues to shine as a reliable red-zone weapon, while rookie running back Treyvion Henderson showed why he could become a cornerstone piece of the offense. We break down how offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has adjusted the scheme around Maye’s strengths and what that means for the rest of the season. Looking ahead, we discuss how New England must take advantage of Maye’s rookie contract window, why finding a legitimate WR2 is a top priority, and which players — like A.J. Brown or Chris Olave — could be ideal trade or free-agent targets. We also preview the Week 6 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, a classic trap game that could derail the team’s momentum if they’re not prepared. With a young franchise quarterback, an elite receiver, and a defense that can still compete, the Patriots are building something real — and this win in Buffalo could be the moment that turns their season around.

Its a power hour edition of The Christian Arcand Show and the joys of making the playoffs for the Red Sox quickly faded away with the injury news regarding Lucas Giolito. Can the Sox survive without another steady arm in the starting rotation and how does Alex Cora manage things with the supposed Game 3 starter? Then, a look back on the best dongs of the MLB regular season in a special edition of The Dong Report. And, with a great performance against the Panthers, the Patriots may be building something great specifically with Drake Maye and the offense.

How does Lucas Giolito's injury impact our confidence level in the Red Sox for a Wild Card series against the Yankees? The Patriots are fun to watch again, how can they keep it rolling against the Bills?

If the Red Sox can steal game one in New York they will be in great shape, but how confident are we in the Red Sox especially without Lucas Giolito? Alex Cora in the postseason is their greatest strength.

The Patriots' offense is growing under Josh McDaniels. How far can the Red Sox go in the playoffs? Can they steal game one in the Wild Card round? Alex Cora will be the teams' greatest strength.
