00:00 - More straight fire from Eliot Wolf 16:13 - Arcand Fire 32:41 - Clickbait

New England Patriots EVP Eliot Wolf speaks ahead of the NFL Combine, addressing questions about Jerod Mayo, outside comparisons to Dan Campbell, and the direction of the franchise as it enters a pivotal 2026 offseason. The WEEI Afternoons crew breaks down Wolf's comments and evaluates his role within a crowded Patriots front office... who's making the final calls, how the power structure is shaping up, and what it all means for the team's future.

Hart and Fitzy react to comments made by Eliot Wolf, the executive vice president of player personnel for the Patriots, regarding Will Campbell's performance in 2025, his role in handing down internal discipline during the Jerod Mayo era, and much more ahead of the NFL Combine.

Earlier this week, Pennsylvania’s resident rodent Punxatawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter.  According to my calendar, we were already slated for six more weeks of winter prior to the official arrival of spring! For sports fans, there are just a few days left until the end of traditional football season.  We’ll discuss the big game coming up on Sunday in just a bit. Pro football (like the other major sports) has slowly stretched-out its regular season.  The NFL went from 14 games to 16 back in 1978.  A 17th regular season game became a reality after the franchise owners wisely trimmed the pre-season from a ludicrously long four games down to three in 2021. It isn’t a secret that the NFL owners now want to expand to an 18th regular season game in a few years. They are reportedly offering to cut the preseason from three meaningless games to two.  However, the NFL has telegraphed a desire to have each of the league’s 32 teams play one international game per year after expanding to 18 games. The NFL doesn’t do anything without a keen eye on profits.  They have calculated the value of international television rights and global merchandising.  It apparently makes financial sense. On Thursday, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees named to the NFL Hall-of-Fame! Saints fans are rejoicing today knowing that the greatest player in franchise history was voted into the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame Thursday in his first year of eligibility. Drew Brees received only two major college scholarship offers coming out of high school in Austin, Texas.  After three terrific seasons as the starting quarterback at Purdue, Brees also excelled in the classroom by earning a degree in Industrial Management. It’s hard to believe that the (cough) 6′ Drew Brees was not a first round NFL selection in 2001.  He was drafted on the first pick of the second round by the San Diego Chargers. Did you know that Drew Brees spent his first five NFL seasons playing for the Chargers? Fortunately for New Orleans Saints fans, Drew Brees was acquired by Louisiana’s Black and Gold team in 2006.  His arrival in the Crescent City coincided with the hiring of offensive-minded first-year head coach Sean Payton. The Saints’ new dynamic duo provided a much-needed shot of optimism into the region following the devastation caused by 2005’s Hurricane Katrina. Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints eventually won the Saints’ first and only Super Bowl title on February 7, 2010 with a 31-17 win over Peyton Manning’s Indianapolis Colts. Has it really been 16 years since that game was played? Brees and the Saints should have earned a second Super Bowl appearance at the end of the 2018 season.  The NFC Championship game played in New Orleans featured the all-time worst “non-call” by NFL referees on a quite obvious pass interference penalty late in overtime.  The visiting Los Angeles Rams won 26-23 but lost to Tom Brady’s New England Patriots two weeks later in the NFL title game. After a 21-year NFL career, Drew Brees retired at the end of the 2020 season.  The Saints legend set numerous NFL passing records including his incredible 54-game streak of throwing at least one touchdown pass. Drew Brees was an intense leader on the football field, an inspiring community leader off the field and is a proud father of four children. He has invested in several business ventures following his retirement from pro football.  Brees also returned to television in 2025 to cover regional NFL games for FOX Sports. Only 1.5% of NFL players will ever be inducted into the Hall-of-Fame.   Drew Brees deserved this honor and was voted-in during his first year of eligibility! Why is there even Pro Bowl game anymore? I don’t know. The NFL’s Pro Bowl game was played on Tuesday night. If I had known about it, it wouldn’t have mattered. My wife and I were fixated on the final night of the Westminster Dog Show (won by Penny the incredlble Doberman Pinscher). The top canines provided more compelling viewing than the NFL’s cringeworthy post-season fare. Tuesday night’s NFL Pro Bowl drew an embarrassing 1.9 million viewers.  That is down from last year’s slightly-less embarrassing 4.7 million Pro Bowl viewers. Historically, the Pro Bowl game would pit the NFL’s most talented players from the teams which had been eliminated from playoff competition.  The game (played in full pads and helmets) was held from 1980 and for more than three decades in lovely Honolulu, Hawaii on the weekend prior to the NFL’s title game. That tropical setting was once considered a big enticement for players to participate and bring their families along for a week-long vacation.  Those of us watching on television at home could enjoy a mental warm-up watching football being played in the toasty sunshine featuring nearby beaches. Not anymore.  Football players who are making millions of dollars per year don’t seem to value a fully-paid vacation week in Hawaii like they once did. In 2023, the Pro Bowl morphed into today’s goofy assortment of skills challenges and a 7-on-7 flag football game.  The venue was also scaled down.  This year’s game was played on Tuesday night in a 4,000-seat convention center arena in San Francisco. In case you cared, the NFC All-Stars rallied for a (cough) thrilling 66-52 flag football win over the AFC All-Stars. Zzz. The NFL’s championship game kicks-off Sunday at 5:30 PM CST on NBC This year’s season finale pits the AFC’s New England Patriots against the NFC Seattle Seahawks. Before the 2025 NFL season kicked-off, the oddsmakers in Las Vegas had last year’s champion Philadelphia Eagles plus the AFC’s Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills as the most likely teams to reach the championship game. Seattle and New England were significantly further down that list. Both teams missed the playoffs after the 2024 season.  The Seahawks at least finished 10-7, but New England was a dismal 4-13 just one year ago. Only the 1999 St. Louis Rams had won just four games in a season (going 4-12) prior to returning the following year to win the NFL title.  Rams’ quarterback Kurt Warner’s led the “Greatest Show on Turf” to an NFL championship.   What caused such a terrific turnaround for this year’s New England Patriots? Last season’s 4-13 record by New England resulted in the team firing head coach Jerod Mayo.  Former Patriots’ linebacker Mike Vrabel was given the chance to coach his former team beginning this season. Adding a talented coach like Vrabel certainly helped, but it doesn’t fully explain the Patriots’ turnaround story this season. The coach would replace 13 of the 22 starting players from last season.  Every one of New England’s 11 NFL draft selections last spring made the cut and is still playing on the team as of this week.  Add several financially prudent free agent signings, and the New England Patriots entered this season with a new team and a winning attitude. Coach Vrabel wanted “tough” minded players as he evaluate players being drafted or signed via free agency. A three-time NFL champion as a linebacker, Mike Vrabel played for legendary coach Bill Belichick and alongside quarterback Tom Brady for several years.  He saw what type of mindset won titles in New England over the past quarter century. The Patriots steamrolled to a 14-3 record and won the AFC East title during the regular season.  They beat the Houston Texans 28-16 in the divisional round and downed the #1 playoff seed Denver Broncos 10-7 in the AFC championship to earn a title shot this week. Seattle Seahawks traded their Pro Bowl quarterback and still improved in 2025 Gino Smith had been Seattle’s starting quarterback for two seasons through the end of the 2024 campaign.  Smith had been named to the NFL’s Pro Bowl for two consecutive years. Surprisingly, the Seahawks traded Gino Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders during the offseason and were left without a starting quarterback. Seattle then hit the free agent jackpot by signing journeyman Sam Darnold to a three-year contract.  Darnold is playing for his fifth NFL team in eight seasons and struggled for his first six years in the league.  His breakout 2024 season with the Minnesota Vikings helped Sam Darnold gain a more permanent home in Seattle. The Seahawks’ stingy defense was rated #1 in the NFL allowing just 17 points per game in leading Seattle to a sterling 14-3 regular season.  The Seattle offense also scored 28 points per game which was eighth best in the league. Coach Mike MacDonald was a successful high school football player who suffered a serious injury in his final game.  He attended the University of Georgia and didn’t play football. However, he started coaching a high school football team while still in college. A summa cum laude graduate in Finance, Mike MacDonald jumped into coaching upon graduating from college.  He would eventually become the defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens.  The youthful 38-year old coach then accepted the head coaching job in Seattle two years ago. The Seahawks, like their head coach, play fundamentally sound football and rely on their top-rated defense to win games. You won’t find many familiar stars in this Sunday’s NFL title game Can you name the starting running backs for either Seattle or New England?  I can’t. America is going to get a chance to learn a lot about these two unheralded competitors and their coaches on Sunday night in Santa Clara, California. The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots quietly did the weekly work to climb the standings and finish with identical 14-3 regular season marks. The two starting quarterbacks aren’t flashy but both passed for more than 4,000 yards in the regular season.  New England’s Drake Maye tossed 31 touchdowns but only had eight intercepted.  Seattle’s Sam Darnold had 25 touchdowns but was picked-off 14 times (third highest in the NFL this year). These two teams have identical season records, great defenses, and effective quarterbacks.  The biggest surprise to me is that New England is considered a 4 ½ point underdog in Sunday’s game. Enjoy watching those very expensive $8 million per 30-second commercials and, perhaps, the game itself! The post It’s Football Friday! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

The best discussions about the Patriots this week unrelated to Sunday's game against the Texans from Greg Hill Show, Jones & Keefe, and WEEI Afternoon. Reacting to Robert Kraft bringing up the firing of Jerod Mayo, and Will Campbell playing no mind to the online critics.

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? And The Lead features a Pokémon store getting robbed, considering the Patriots should play against the Bills in the playoffs, and Robert Kraft saying he what happened with Jerod Mayo falls on him.

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.

The Lead includes whether or not the Ravens made the right move with John Harbaugh, McDonalds coming out with the biggest burger ever, Robert Kraft feeling bad for Jerod Mayo, Kalil Mack suing his ex wife, and Greg Hill looking for a specific shade of gold

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.

Hart and Fitzy think Mike Vrabel had a Jerod Mayo type response when asked about benching Rhamondre Stevenson. The fumbling issues have plagued Stevenson for his entire career, when is enough enough?

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?

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?

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. Tatum tells Steven A Smith on ESPN's First Take that he hasn't once said that he is not going to play in the 2025-26 season. Is Tatum setting fans up to be disappointed if he doesn't return to action?

(00:00) Zolak & Bertrand start the hour with the Sounds of Sunday. () We finish up the Week 3 edition of Sounds of Sunday.() The crew questions why the logic of firing Jerod Mayo for the Patriots not being buttoned up with the current Patriots also not being buttoned up.

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.
