The Weekenders discuss the first Patriots draft post-Belichick, Karen G. living up to her namesake, Nick Cattles getting pantsed on the interwebz, and a memorial for a former WEEIer's career.

Mike, Scartsy, John and Shaq are joined by the legendary Patrick Pass (not the real one!) and they discuss their anger at the Kraft hagiography, whether or not their fandom has waned, and Jayson Tatum.

Jonathan Kraft and Jerod Mayo channel their inner Costanza and are hellbent on doing the opposite of what BB would do.  Dan, Scartsy, Mike and John discuss Kraft's Happy Hour, The Dynasty, and Patriots media being bought off for the low, low price of Papa Gino's and Bud Light.

The Weekenders are back to discuss the Kraft funded informercial that is AppleTV+'s "The Dynasty" and the first few episodes. Some major parts of time are omitted from the production, interestingly. Also, the contributions of Lawrence Guy and Matthew Slater are recognized. (Listen at the end for a special Slater tribute!)

The mothership guys discuss the Mayo/Krafty Bob introductory press conference and discuss their own tales from the couch about Championship Sunday.

Shaq, Bill, Rob and newbie Kyle discuss Belichick's departure, where he might end up, the prospects of the roster, and Jon Kraft sticking his hand in the cookie jar.

The guys discuss the end of an era.

Shaq, Vinny and Rob discuss what has been a hell of a week of gaslighting and false speculation, framed as "reporting" by the Boston media in regards to Bill Belichick and the future of the Patriots. The "I Think" game (featuring Bert Breer) makes its debut. And a salute and thank you to the GOAT, Matthew Slater.

The Party of Five looks back at Buffalo, ahead towards the Jets, and talk best/worst Belichick and Kraft scenarios.

In honor of the New Year, The Weekenders present the First Annual Entitled Awards, where the worst (and best) in Boston sports and sports media are recognized for who they are and what they do (or don't do). Awards given: Worst Media Member, Worst Social Media Account, Best Patriots Player of 2023, and more. Also, a discussion on Rodney Harrison and Vince Wilfork's HOF prospects.

Mike, Scartsy, and Dan discuss a Patriots win in Denver andthe Celtics convincing win over the Lakers in LA capping a 3-1 road trip.  

Shaq, Bill and E-mailer Vinny Jace talk about the newest pivot from Boston media, "growing tension" with Jerod Mayo and the assistant coaches. Also discussed: QB tiers, and Brady's comments on the state of the NFL today.

Scartsy, Dan and Mike discuss beating the Steelers on the road, Curran's report that the decision to part with Belichick has been made... but could change.   Sean McDermott's motivational techniques, Patrick Mahomes' petulance, and C's wins over the NYK and Cavs are discussed.

We're not announcing who starts at every position, but we discuss Pats/Giants, NFL, the In-Season Tournament, and the continued de-evolution of the sports media in Boston.

Dave Brown returns to ET and catches up on a number of topics with Mike, including Patriots/Giants, compare the Giants handling of Daniel Jones to the Patriots handling of Mac and Coughlin's ending in NY with what Belichick is experiencing.   

After (another) hiatus, Weekenders Shaq, Bill and Mark come to you on a weeknight recapping the media's obsession with their Belichick fanfictions, make our own list of what has gone wrong this season with the Patriots, and get a special voicemail.

Mike, John, and Dan eschew a bye week to talk about Pats, Celtics and needy Krafty Bob spouting more leaks than than Iraqi Navy.
