Segment - An NBA superstar could be on the move, a former NFL QB wants his team to move on from their coach, and Travis Kelce on the Chiefs playoff hopes. All that and more in today's edition of They Said It!
Segment - Vikings wide receiver, Justin Jefferson, has clearly not been happy with how the season has gone so far in Minnesota. Wiggy thinks the Pats should make a move to acquire the disgruntled star.
Segment - Greg, Coco, Wiggy, Curtis, and Scheim get to Patriots talk early in today's episode. Will New England be able to land a franchise receiver to pair with Drake Maye for the foreseeable future?
Skepticism is starting to fade on the Patriots standing atop the entire NFL and the numbers back that up on almost every part of their game.
Going through the advanced metrics and stats on Drake, its pretty crazy the number he's been putting up at 23 years old and only his second season.
Sports Illustrated's Mike D'Abate joins the show to talk more about the Patriots and how the entire locker room has bought in from day one which was shown by their physicality Monday night.
Included in tonight's Headlines are some rumors that Craig Breslow would be open to add some more to the Red Sox rotation. Would Sonny Gray not have to be the number two starter and could Giannis force himself out of Milwaukee? Then, another local scam this time involving as Bitcoin ATM and skiers in Stow get lost apparently due to TikTok in the New England Nightly News. And, Robert Griffin III was making a great case for BYU to make the college football playoff...until he ended his statement.
Some final thoughts on the Patriots dominating the Giants and it being more of a statement since it was right before their bye week. Just how good is Drake Maye playing this season? The numbers might really surprise you. Then, Mike D'Abate from Sports Illustrated joins the show to further the conversation and explain how quickly the Pats' locker room bought into each other and the message from Mike Vrabel. And, injuries seem to have caught up to the Bruins and that was noticeable in last night's loss in Detroit.
Fresh off a hot conversation about Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft on the previous show, the Hall of Fame should include those two without any pushback. so why are people pushing back on letting them in? Then, for how bad the scandals about Belichick and Kraft were, nothing should keep them out of making it this year. And, shifting to the current Patriots, there is more than enough evidence that puts them atop the entire NFL right now.

Are the Rams really the best team in the NFL right now? Or do you like a team from the AFC better?
Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley with Mark Schlereth open the fourth hour defending Riley Moss after the much-maligned CB took accountability for his struggles this season. The Morning Crew are joined by our ESPN NFL Analyst, Dan Orlovsky, to get his takeaways from the winin Washington and to see how the Broncos’ D matches up with the Pats offense. They break some big Rockies news that has them legitimately excited for the future at 20th & Blake. The Morning Crew cap off today’s show bouncing around the Denver sports scene; chatting about the Rockies’ new GM, Bo Nix’s hot start to his career, and faceoff stats.
The crew react to Jaylen Brown's 42 point game last night and all agree that is the kind of player he needs to be this year. Why does Vegas have the Pats 6th in Super Bowl odds?
The crew are joined by Rob Ninkovich and try to understand why a lot of pro athletes run out of money after hearing OBJ say 100 million isn't enough for generational wealth.
Hour 1 - Big game from Jaylen last night. Hour 2 - New York Giants fans and media are outraged that the Pats were "headhunting" Hour 3 - Rob Ninkovich weighs in on the "dirty" Patriots Hour 4 - Why do NFL players run out of money?
Hour 1 - The crew celebrate the Celtics big win last night as well as wonder why the sportsbooks have five teams ahead of the Patriots for the Super Bowl. Scheim says to root for the Bengals.
Hour 2 - Leads from Greg, Wiggy and Coco. The crew can't understand why Giants fans and media are calling the Patriots dirty and we hear from both sides in They Said It.
Hour 3 - Coco gives us the news for the morning and Ninko is here! How does he feel about the Pats "dirty" play and explains the difference between dirty and physical play.
Hour 4 - The crew react to Odell Beckham saying 100 million isn't enough for generational wealth and debate what they would if they had that kind of money. Wiggy wants 20 more years of Maye and Vrabel.
How much money is too much to spend on an article of clothing? The crew debate what they would do if they weren't doing radio and Wiggy wants how many more years of Maye and Vrabel?
The crew are joined by Rob Ninkovich and he weighs in on the "dirty" hit on Jaxson Dart. Is there any team in a better spot than the Pats, Ninko says no.
They Said It is a quick back and forth on what was said yesterday in the sports world. Today we hear from Devin McCourty, An angry Giants fan, and Jaxson Dart on the monster hit he took.
Greg, Wiggy and Coco all give their leads for the morning and Coco is thrilled that Bill O'Brien will be back for BC. She believes that BC is headed in the right direction.
Scheim tells everyone that with the Patriots on a bye week, they all should be Bengals fans so the Pats can lock up the division as soon as possible.
Some power rankings lists are finally respecting the Patriots, but those that put them in the back half of the top 10 still linger and quite frankly, don't make sense.
The Boston Herald's Doug Kyed joins the show to discuss the type of statement win the Patriots had over the Giants, why Christian Elliss had no other option to try and stop Jaxson Dart, and why its not crazy to start thinking Super Bowl.
Both the Celtics and Bruins are in action with not-so-great starts while Bill O'Brien will officially remain with Boston College football in tonight's Headlines.
A few MLB relievers sign some free agent deals, Danilo Gallinari officially retires, and a Patriots' fan bringing an odd service animal to last night's game in tonight's Arcand Fire.
Even though things don't look good for the Red Sox to spend big this offseason, one trade could change that. Why getting joe Ryan would be the first domino in changing ownership's mind about paying big money? Then, celebrating the career of Danilo Gallinari and how one fan brought his service duck to a Patriots game in Arcand Fire. And, there are many things you shouldn't give homeless people, but in Clickbait one influencer chose something near the top of that list.
We get into the Headlines including updates on the Celtics & Bruins and Bill O'Brien getting support from Boston College as football head coach. Why his recruitment skills and experience are the main reasons to bring him back? Then, a Mashpee card store gets robbed and a Rhode Island high school is in hot water for bullying in the New England Nightly News. And, Abdul Carter was benched again last night and the Patriots should be thanking their lucky starts he didn't fall to them in the NFL Draft.
Even with a dominant victory on primetime over the Giants, there are still some who don't trust the Patriots as true contenders. What kind of excuses could these power rankings come up with? Then, Doug Kyed of The Boston Herald joins the show and insinuates that the time may be now to start talking about the Pats making the Super Bowl. And, Stephen A Smith had another thing to say about New England.
Patriots entered the bye week in a very physical way and knocked off the Giants on Monday Night Football. How much of a statement game was last night's victory? Then, Christian Elliss' big hit on Jaxson Dart headlined that physicality which is nothing to complain about on the New York side. And, Drake Maye has firmly put himself back into the MVP conversation.
The full edition of The Christian Arcand show for Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025.
Robert Kraft is now the closest he's ever been to making the Hall of Fame along with his former head coach Bill Belichick his first time on the ballot. Regardless of scandals or personal feelings, both these two deserve to be elected with very little pushback.
