Jones and Keefe continued to discuss the US Men's Hockey 2-1 Gold Medal win over Team Canada in overtime. Finally, the guys talked about the status of Red Sox infielder Marcelo Mayer.
Baseball games are playing again! Soup to nuts - how did the Red Sox offseason go this winter. Dollar for dollar, pound for pound, what did all of your Fenway hotdogs pay for? It was mostly waiting for Sam Kennedy to get a clue. This team is better. It is. Don't tell me it's not. We would have loved this team with Bregman, Marte, Ryan, but this team is undeniably better than it was. Not the Yankees. Those guys are barely a dingy without a hole.

WEEI presents a collection of reactions from The Greg Hill Show, Jones & Keefe, and WEEI Afternoons to Sam Kennedy and Red Sox brass defending their handling of Rafael Devers and Alex Bregman with both now playing for other teams
Alex Cora seemed to shock many when he said earlier today that Marcelo Mayer is going to have to earn his spot on the Opening Day roster in Cincinnati.
The math performed by WEEI Afternoons about Triston Casas, Scottie Scheffler's incredible streak of making cuts, and the Olympic events everyone at WEEI would thrive in discussed in the Arcand Fire.
As the Celtics returned from their All star break, their Finals and coach of the year odds don't seem to be getting the respect that they deserve. Is there any team in the NBA who has a better story than Joe Mazzulla and the C's right now? Then, Christian gives his thoughts on Scottie Scheffler's cut streak during PGA events and Olympic events people at WEEI would be good at in the Arcand Fire. And, Shia Labeouf is causing chaos during Mardi Gras in tonight's Clickbait.
On top of the dominant performance against the Warriors by the Celtics, it was Al Horford who made the most noise by saying him leaving Boston was about more than basketball. What could Big Al be referring to? Then, Jaylen Brown added a triple-double to his season resume making it harder to ignore how legit of an MVP candidate he's becoming., And, Marcelo Mayer's spot on the Opening Day roster is no longer guaranteed according to Alex Cora.
The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show from Friday, February 20th, 2026.
