Its 90 minutes tonight and the time keeps ticking towards Tuesday's trade deadline. Even without trades, the Patriots have some tools that other teams don't that could get them closer to a Super Bowl. Then, other teams seemingly have the same needs as the Pats at the deadline so New England is going to have to work extra harder to improve their pass rush. And, the Celtics played their best game of the young season when they beat the Cavaliers and Joe Mazzulla deserves the most credit for nailing the importance of rebounding to them.
With a fairly wide-open AFC, the Pats might need to work extra hard to get the guys they want at the trade deadline should be thinking about moves for the Super Bowl.
With the Pats and Colts seemingly 1-2 on lots of halfway awards rankings, it again shows the assets and tools the Patriots have that the rest of the NFL doesn't that would make them a Super bowl-caliber team.
Another hour-long show on the heels of the first trades made by the Patriots during trade deadline season. With Kyle Dugger and Keion White now gone, is a big splash coming or is adding more depth the way to go? Then, the Bruins are very slowly finding some momentum while the Celtics have a very tough task with the Cavs, but both coaches are under the microscope when it comes to making the right adjustments and planning. And, the World Series is now even, but Toronto getting to Shohei Ohtani might move the momentum towards the Blue Jays ahead of Game 5.
Another power hour edition where the attention from the NFL about the Patriots keeps getting louder from their legitimacy to whatever Cam Newton was trying to say. How much extra attention do teams like the Falcons need to start giving New England? Then, Josh McDaniels is just one of many reasons why the Pats are not yet Super Bowl favorites, they are at least contenders. And, before we react to a long and wild Game 3 of the World Series, breaking news comes across that Keion White has been traded from New England to San Francisco.
We're only on for one hour, but that time will be spent on more praise for the Patriots after another win this time over the Browns. Why yesterday's win over a tough Cleveland defense has brought back the memories and feelings of the recent Pats' dynasty? Then, Drake Maye continues his other-worldly pace that has fans wondering when the last time they saw a bad throw was. And, Josh McDaniels gets his praise for how the offense looks and it doesn't look like he'll be going anywhere anytime soon.
Only one hour tonight, but there's still a lot to unpack from yesterday's gambling investigation arrests. After hearing from Adam Silver earlier in the week, the NBA commissioner might've known this domino was going to drop and now has the task of fixing it. Then, only nine games in, but its getting dangerously close for the Bruins to pack everything in and start a new without Don Sweeney. And, with the World Series starting tonight, the game of baseball would benefit greatly from a repeat by the Dodgers.
There's only 90 minutes tonight, but one story rocking the sports world. How do the arrests of Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier, and Damon Jones among others shake the foundation of sports betting? Then, every game and every athlete will be judged even more than they already are when it comes to integrity and subpar performances. And, there may only be three prominent names in this investigation from the FBI, but there could be plenty more added as more information comes out.
The entire world was shocked to learn about an FBI-led investigation into illegal gambling with current and former members of the NBA that sports betting and gambling will never be looked at the same.
The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show for Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025
Its opening night for the Celtics in what some could call a new era for the C's with Jaylen Brown as the number one option. What are the real expectations for this new iteration of Celtics' basketball? Then, Dan Greenberg from Barstool Sports joins and explains why fans are going to get a harsh wake-up call on what Jayson Tatum was able to make up for. And, Brad Stevens sounded like someone who didn't want to make moves to get under the luxury tax.
Despite being emotional about returning to Boston, Christian makes the argument that Brad Marchand seems fine with going to the rival Panthers over returning to Boston. Also, Jeremy Swayman didn't have as rough of a night as the now troubling defensive pairings. Then, running back and pass rusher still seem to be the big Patriots trade targets, but who is out there that is reasonable? And, its been a week and Jason Varitek still has been announced to return. Craig Breslow must not be thrilled with Tek's radio appearance a week ago.
The third hour kicks off with the Headlines all about updates in the NFL from keeping Bad Bunny for the Halftime Show and moving the Pro Bowl. Why everything ties into Roger Goodell wanting to international? Then, lots of updates in the Massachusetts judicial system in the New England Nightly News. And, an update from the Celtics at halftime which if the season goes this way, it could be a long year.
Drake Maye has done everything right during the Patriots' four game winning streak, but yet Cam Newton doesn't see him at a top 5 rate. Unfortunately for Newton, every metric would disagree even leading into the toughest defense Maye will face so far in the Browns. Then, an update on the mystery illness of Kristaps Porzingis and a new trend Arcand tries his hand at in Arcand Fire. And, Clickbait features a woman being arrested during the "No Kings" rally in an odd costume.
We get an answer on Kristaps Porzingis' mystery illness, a return in the NBA after a long absence, and Christian takes on a new trend in tonight's Arcand Fire.
Contrary to what Cam Newton believes, every number out there proves that Drake Maye is indeed playing like a top 5 quarterback in the NFL.
A lot to cover in the New England Nightly News from Michael Proctor dropping his appeal, Turtleboy getting one less charge, and a lack of lawyers in Suffolk County.
All of tonight's headlines come from the NFL with Roger Goodell sticking with Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, moving Pro Bowl activities to the week before the Super Bowl, and potential changes to the onside kickoff rule.
A recent ESPN article listed the players most likely to be traded at the NFL trade deadline. Which ones fit the Patriots the most?
Another gut punch to Bruins' fans following their 4-3 loss to the Panthers can be put on the defense and not Jeremy Swayman. Also, following his return to Boston, Brad Marchand seems to be completely content with being a Panther over a Bruin.
