Ken and Curtis preview tomorrow's Divisional Round matchup between the Patriots and Texans. Will weather play a factor tomorrow? The NFL Live crew all picked the Texans to win, do we buy it? Robert Kraft deserves credit for cutting his losses and firing Jerod Mayo after just one season.
There is still time to look back on the Patriots' win over the Chargers which validates how Mike Vrabel has managed the offseason and regular season. What would a win over Houston do for the already-there validation for New England? Then, Robert Kraft will be in a great light if the Pats beat the Texans for his firing of Jerod Mayo and slam dunk hiring of Mike Vrabel. And, the defense seemingly carried the Pats in their win over the Chargers, but can they do it again versus Houston?
How impacted is the Red Sox rotation after the signing of left handed pitcher Ranger Suárez. Who are the best defensemen all-time for the Bruins?

The Lead includes wanting to play against the Bills in the AFC championship and hearing how Robert Kraft says the Jerod Mayo situation falls on him.
The lust of the Red Sox signing Ranger Suarez feels like its wearing off and attention once again goes to the Red Sox lineup. Why it feels like Boston is pretty much forced to either trade or sign for a bat that fill the void left by Alex Bregman. Then, Robert Kraft looks back no firing Jerod Mayo and Tom Brady looks back at what quarterbacks from his playing days have that today's don't in the Arcand Fire. And, a New Jersey restaurant is looking for an odd artifact that was stolen from them in Clickbait.
Patriots' owner Robert Kraft calls firing Jerod Mayo very hard, Tom Brady complains some more about today's NFL quarterbacks and more talked about in the Arcand Fire.

After missing out on the playoffs, the Baltimore Ravens part ways with John Harbaugh. The Lead includes McDonalds biggest burger ever, Robert Kraft feeling bad for Jerod Mayo, and Kalil Mack suing his ex-wife. And it still seems that the Ravens are sticking with Lamar Jackson to be their guy.
Cam Newton BLAMES Drake Maye for NOT SAVING Jerod Mayo JOB! DEI Coach was a JOKE for Patriots!
Segment - The Patriots had a coaching problem last season, moving on from Jerod Mayo after just one season. New England elected to bring in another former player for the role, but it's been a whole new story.
Its a power hour edition of The Christian Arcand Show and the Patriots followed up their statement win with their third straight win over the Saints. What were the biggest moments from yesterday's win and why competency is the key word when comparing Mike Vrabel's Pats to Jerod Mayo's Pats? Then, Drake Maye was impressive once again and its no longer hyperbolic to say that Maye has been one of the best quarterbacks in the entire league during this stretch. And, with an AFC that feels as wide open as ever, there really could be nothing that is standing in their way of a deep playoff run.
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.
Will Christian Gonzalez play in Week 4? Was Jerod Mayo set up to fail? Rob Bradford thinks Kyle Harrison punching the Red Sox ticket into the playoffs would be huge for the Rafael Devers trade. Which part of the Sox do you trust most heading into the playoffs?
Hart, Fitzy, and Ted debate whether or not Jerod Mayo was set up to fail last season. Mike Vrabel will not be a one-and-done head coach, but did the Patriots perform better in the first three weeks under Mayo last year than they are with Vrabel?
HR 1 - Red Sox miss chance to clinch playoff spot in Toronto | Josh McDaniels joins HR 2 - Three-Point Stance | Mike Giardi joins the show HR 3 - Did the Patriots give Jerod Mayo a fair shot? | Rob Bradford joins HR 4 - The Drive | Pick Six Week 4

SEGMENT - Jones and Keefe discuss the sloppiness that has continued to plague the Patriots in the post-Brady era. When is the supposed discipline of a Mike Vrabel coached team going to show up on Sundays?
HR1 - Andy and Fitzy kick off today's show comparing the first three games of the Mike Vrabel era to last years Jerod Mayo led team. Hart and Fitzy are joined by Former NFL Player and Host of The Stinkin Truth Podcast Mark Schlereth ahead of his Patriots/Panthers color commentary assignment in Week 4. Schlereth discusses what he's seen from Drake Maye and the Pats offense during his game preperation, and recounts what it was like to face off against Patriots Head Coach Mike Vabel and our very Ted Johnson. Finally, the guys react to Jayson Tatum's latest round of media appearances.

Christian gets into the first two days of Patriots' Training Camp and the seemingly positive response to Mike Vrabel and his coaching style. How optimistic should fans be that there aren't glaring issues between players and coaches so far? Then, Doug Kyed from The Boston Globe joins to further the Patriots' discussion and gives his reason for Stefon Diggs' big presence so far. And, don't look now, but NFL Redzone might be getting a different look.
Robert Kraft speaks on the last two seasons of the Patriots. He is very disappointed. Ted asks about where on earth Jerod Mayo is. Is there an NDA? Fitzy does not think so. No surprise that RKK said the past two seasons were the worst. Ted would not have taken the job like Mayo did. It was embarrassing. He did not seem ready to be an NFL coach. Even at the beginning. He is no longer a coach... telling.
Three Point Stance Hart: Silver lining for the Red Sox is the fact that they care. They compete every night. They are aggressive on the base paths, they try too hard sometimes. I wish they were better. Fitzy: Stef Diggs is recovering well from ACL surgery, and is committed 100% to the Patriots. Pats fans have bigger things to worry about. Ted: The Celtics have to get younger and more athletic so they can compete for a championship in the future. It brings energy and athleticism.

Robert Kraft continues his Jerod Mayo apology tour
Greg would be really bothered if the Sox traded Bregman // Wiggy wants the Celtics to tank for a high pick when Tatum comes back // Robert Kraft continues his Jerod Mayo apology tour //
Mike Vrabel seems to have established himself during mini camp and all other Patriots activities, but for at least the 2025 season, he will keep getting compared to Jerod Mayo after Keion White now says he's finally getting coached.
HR 2 - Minicamp is over for the Patriots and Arcand has all eyes on the players and their comments about the vibes surrounding practice; mostly from Mike Vrabel. What kind of part does Jerod Mayo play in the judgment of Mike Vrabel's first season as head coach in New England? Then, Chris Price from The Boston Globe joins the show to further the Patriots' discussion and explains a potential strategy Stefon Diggs is employing while he recovers from his knee injury. And, everyone getting in a pinch about Hunter Dobbins' apparently now fabricating comments about not playing for the Yankees should not matter; he doesn't want to play in New York is all that should matter.
