  Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Wisconsin, and welcome to the huddle. It's time
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to talk about the teams you love with the guys
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: you love.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: That's us. Boys, that's us. Watch us on YouTube.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Build content.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Just search Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. You are looking live. Now,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: gather around because it's time to huddle up.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: We know exactly what we got to do. All right?
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: Let's go out and kick some shit.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: One, two, three.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: We got some big plays coming.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: What the hell's going on?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Let's huddle up.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: It's Friday in the good land.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Welcome into the huddle.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin broadcasting live.
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison, everywhere on the iHeart app.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Streaming live, Facebook, X, and YouTube for people who want
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: to see Billy's new hat.
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: Ooh, got that thing busted out here. And now it
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: is a little white cap for a fat guy like
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: me and a healthy sweater like myself.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: That's a dangerous combo to bust out. I thought like
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: having a white car, it doesn't show the dirt as much.
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: The salt water, the salt that comes from this forehead
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: only calcifies it. But on special occasions like a playoff
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: Friday in WIAA, a good chance to be able to
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: bust out the champs.
• 1:41
  Speaker 7: Let's talk about the conundrum now with the light colored
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: clothing and hats. Because I was thinking about that plus
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: the sweatshirt. Oh, by the way, guy in the street
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: has that sweatshirt. I don't know if it's the real.
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: I don't think it's the real one, but he's got
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: that cream colored sweatshirt.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Hard to pass. I drove by it. I almost swerved over.
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: On what street? 84th and Layton by that sitcom. I
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: almost swerved across four lanes.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to do that.
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: Well, there was a young man in Madison over by
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: the Clark station when I drove down there a couple
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: of weeks ago that had the sweetest win our way flag.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: And I'm very excited to see my man tomorrow before
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: Badgers and Rutgers.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Is there a rally house right there, too, that you
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: could go to? Oh, very much is. There are a
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: couple of locations. But Armand's tempted to go get the
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: gas station sushi or the gas station hoodie. I love it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: They're available for purchase. Okay, the conundrum is.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: You don't want to pay full price. And Kenny talked
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: this guy down.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Harmon's looking for deals. That gives me a good deal.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Twofer at this point.
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: Champions might be fine. We're a week away.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: From the parade and those sweet cream-colored hoodies that were
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: all the rage now. I don't know. Are they still
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: cool a week later? Oh, they're cool as hell. What
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: do you mean? See, I don't know.
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: They put out a black one, Drew. And I think
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: that one might be a little. You guys got to
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: wait to see if there's any cooler ones. But the
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: question is, are you worried to wear it? Because the sweat,
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: it's like that new pair of shoes. You don't want
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: to get dirty because it's so cool.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: But then you don't wear it. And it's like that
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: sweet jacket. Remember that jacket?
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: The shirt, to me, isn't as much of the sweat.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: To me, the shirt, Drew, is the ketchup and mustard
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: and beer and relish stains that can potentially happen.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: A lot of shrapnel flying. Dangerous spots. One bite of
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: pizza that's too hot or a wing, and it's going to, yeah,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: you're going to be.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: I eat way too much Palermo's with way too many times.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Those things to be able to drop a pepperoni right
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: there in the middle. Even oil and grease is tough,
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: but then, but you're right. It's the hat with the sweat.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: It's the body is more of the, but in the
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: winter sweating is not that big an issue. So you're safe.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Winter.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: You're pretty safe in that regard. That's fair. But Billy's
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: got the sweet champions hat on the world series trophy.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Thank you. I've been waiting to bust this thing out.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: I had to show it off a little bit. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: like it. I like it. I like it a lot.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: 877-794-1973 to the Nicolet law.com talk and text line. Big
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: weekend of football ahead of us. Big weekend of being champs.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: The one-week anniversary of the parade everybody will remember for
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: the rest of their lives.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: Yes, and as I was talking with our friend Aaron
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: Nagler today, so 750,000 people were the estimation. I firmly
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: believe this title run that we just witnessed is going
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: to be this generation's, this millennium's ice bowl. whether it's
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: how many 250,000 folks ended up going to Ferg's over
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: those three days, Drew, or, you know, in 20, 30,
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: 40 years when people are telling their grandkids about the 2.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Million people seemingly that were at the parade. About the
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: time that they shotgunned a beer with Sal Freelick at
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: the parade.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's... where they actually got poked in the eye
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: by the trophy like Yellich did.
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: Well, yeah, there's no question, especially because of how many
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: people were at the watch parties. And it's going to
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: be very easy in history to tell people you were
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: at the World Series when you were only at the
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: watch party, which is something that I plan on doing.
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: as enough time passes. We got a picture of Lena
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: on the World Series dugout. She sat in the dugout.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: That was pretty cool. Before one of the watch parties,
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: she'll be able to tell everybody in 30 years, hey,
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: I was there.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Look at me. This is me at the World Series.
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: She'll share it on whatever social media platform doesn't exist yet.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: I'm sure that the landscape will change a.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Lot in 30 years. It'll be hardwired into our brains.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: You won't even have to open an app. You'll just
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: have to think about it. It'll be called Google Brain.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Pretty much. Yeah. Pretty much. But yeah, that's a good point.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: It will be. Everybody was there and it was, you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: everybody had their their moment and the memories will be there.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Just like people. I talked to people who I was
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: on the field at 82. I was, you know, running
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: around on the field after game five when they beat
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: the Angels and.
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: Hold the Brewers our World Series flag.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: I did have someone ask me the other day, like,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: have have the Brewers. I know Murph's going under the
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: knife for his hip on Monday. I wish him the best. Amen.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Having a titanium hip of my own. Best move ever.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Everybody asks me. He's going to be cruising. Everybody asks me,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: was it hard? I said, there's one part that sucked
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: and that I really regret. Not doing it sooner. Mm-hmm.
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Hipping around like a jackass in pain and not getting
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: it taken care of. But Murph has that. But for
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: the most part, someone asked me, now Badgers play a
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: home game and they haven't played a home game since
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: the Brewers have been champions. Correct. Yes.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Will the trophy make an appearance? Are there any Brewers left?
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, Mike Vassallo might go watch the game.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: That's a good call, Mike. Mikey Vassallo usually makes an appearance.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: That'd be a sweet one to have. And then Lev's
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: probably working a game. I mean, Jeff Levering's back on
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: the football train. I was going to say, and he's
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: either probably got the Badgers this week or next.
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: They've got the 11 a.m.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Big Ten tilt as well. I didn't look up the assignments, but...
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: If Lev is there, I don't know. Will the trophy
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: make an appearance? Does it mean anything if it's not
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: a player with it? Are all the players out of town?
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Are we still seeing Brewers in the wild, or have
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: they gone about their own Cancun on three or headed
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: to their summer home?
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: I would assume they're starting to migrate south, right? I'd
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: assume kind of like the geese, they're starting to find
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: their way over to Arizona and Florida. But could, you know,
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: I mean, Sal Freelick was in Chicago a couple of
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: days ago hanging out with the Barstool guys. Would it
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: make a lot of sense for him to roll down
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: there and hang out in the in the nice south
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: end zone?
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. It would be a good time to. Yeah, this
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: would be the chance because it's definitely not going to
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: be a player. I would assume day after Thanksgiving.
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: So if you're going to get that trophy here, it
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: should be for tomorrow and it might be a good
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: time to be. Celebrate our boy, Ryan Hopkins, getting that
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: first start for the Badgers coming up. First 17 and
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: a half point number might look a little different with
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: the Badgers starting a new quarterback.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Now you get anybody from modern day. You're going to
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: start feeling good.
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: I was just going to say all these, all these
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: quarterbacks are from modern day. And of course he is too.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: I looked it up just to be sure, but I'm like,
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: is the modern day kid. I think yes.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: And he showed, he showed some tools last week in
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: the limited time that they ended up putting them in,
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: but yeah, Colton Joseph not feeling himself, also not producing
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: very well. So all of those reasons are good ones
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: to be able to find the young man out onto
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: the field.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I don't mean to laugh. That's just a funny way
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: to say it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: But, hey, by the way, you guys are correct on
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: the Big Ten Network call.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Excuse me. It is Jeff Levering. So you'll be seeing him, yeah.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Well, all right.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: You'll see Levering. snag one of their own. We might
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: have to have him pop on with us on Monday.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: We probably could have done it today had we looked ahead.
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: Alongside Jake Butt, who's going to be the analyst.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: The old Michigan stud. And another sideline reporter, one of
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: my favorites.
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: Oh, God.
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: Mrs.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Jake Cronenworth, Brooke Fletcher. Oh, she's back in town. She's
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: back now. She's got to see the trip. She sees
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: the trophy because her husband was we beat her husband
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: on the Padres. You know, she's salty about the price.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Sad about the White Sox.
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: She does a great job as a White Sox sideline
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: reporter all year. So, Brooke, a great professional doing a
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: great job. So Billy's going to run into all them.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we might run into Brooke down on the field.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: I'll let you know if we do. I know that
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: would be a very, very happy moment for you. Just
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: reporting what the assignments are. No, Brooke, one of my favorites.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, of course, she's a great professional, does a
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: great job, great broadcaster. Dad played in the league.
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: Son of Scott Fletcher, born in Milwaukee when Scott was
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: playing for the Brewers.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: She's great. Anyway, yeah, so Lev will be doing the game.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: I like their call. Jake Butzer, a really, really good one.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: He was a really, really good player, man. He's a
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: bad boy there in Michigan. He's one of those dangerous
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: examples as to why guys don't play in bowl games anymore.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: But for the Badgers, it's a hot one. Drew, for
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: the Packers, it's a huge one. I was just talking
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: about it with our boy Aaron Nagler on Carry the
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: G Radio, the podcast. And as much as inter-conference games
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: don't necessarily jump off the page as the most important thing,
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: This is the best game on the docket this weekend
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: on an otherwise kind of unappetizing slate. And Drake may
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: and Jordan love one of these two quarterbacks. I assume
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: by how I think the game's going to come out is,
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: going to take over as the talk of get up
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: the next day because you win this game, you're 6-3,
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: and you're feeling real positive about your chances going forward
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: in the second half of the year.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: This game, I've been looking at it and dissecting it
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: and flipping it around, and it's going to be a
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: one-score game either way.
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: And when I'm looking at it and I see games
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: and I see teams that are evenly matched and you
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: factor in the home field and all that stuff and
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Packers coming off a mini-bye, I default to which quarterback
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: is better. Jordan Love's going to make more plays than
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Drake May. I hope so. That's where I'm at. Especially
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: with the arm.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: And I think that with the legs is going to
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: be the intriguing part where Mays made a lot of
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: plays so far this year of keeping drives alive.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Because, Drew, I'm with you. I think it's a one-score game.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: And I think it's a low-scoring game.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: That's where the Trey Smack factor will feel important coming
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: up this weekend. Whether or not it's the final play
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: of the game comes down to the right foot of
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: Trey Smack. young man is not, was not great in October. Hopefully,
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: you know, we're not into Toyota thon yet, but maybe
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: he just takes on that version of Jordan love. And
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: once we, once the calendar flips to November, he starts
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: being nails again. It feels like it's going to be
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: a game. That's going to come down to the right
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: arms and love leading the league in passing turnover, worthy
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: plays way down. Drew does it do his receivers make
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: enough plays for him? Because I think the way that
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: new England's going to play, they're going to play a
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: ton of man coverage. They are going to try to
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: keep a top on the defense and take, keep a
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: lid on this offense with, with a defense over the top.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: We'll love be patient enough coming up this week, which
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: was kind of their biggest bugaboo a year ago was
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: not being patient.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Just take it with the defense ends up giving you.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: That's right. And Patriots are, Are they diminished at corner?
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: Do they have their guys back? They still have some
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: injuries back there. They still have some. They still have
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: their main guy, though, right? So they still have Christian Gonzalez,
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: who is, if not the best corner in football, the
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: second best corner in football. But where they're really dinged
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: up is the pass catcher room. And to your point
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: on the quarterbacks, which one's going to play better? With
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: no Hunter Henry, no A.J. Brown, either Thursday or Friday
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: at practice, I think it's tough to think that either
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: of them are going to be available. And Romeo Dobbs
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: out on the shelf.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: It should be the Christian versus Christian show, I would say,
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: a lot. I mean, I would imagine. And the Patriots
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: amazingly didn't give it away much in the monsoon in Miami,
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: but they do give it away. They're high in takeovers,
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: and the Packers take the ball away. So I'm thinking
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: that's obviously anytime a game's close, turnovers will swing it.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Turnovers in quarterback play, so I'm not breaking any ground there.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: But turnovers are huge in this game. Big time, especially
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: down the field. And the Packers would seem to have
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: the advantage because they take the ball away at a
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: high rate, and the Patriots until last week, which was surprising,
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: give it away at a high rate.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: The Packers halfway through the year, more turnovers or takeaways
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: than they had all last year. And the amount of
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: interceptions that they're getting, I still think the funny one
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: is the ones that still are kind of sticking in.
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: I think a lot of Packers fans crawl are the
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: plays that they still weren't able to make. Like the
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: Evan Williams one in Detroit that is right there for
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: the taking. It's a lot of credit to Jonathan Gannon
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: and the personnel, but they already have 10 picks on
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: the year, seven of which are kind of down the field,
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: you know, 10, 15 yards into the year where Drake
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: may wants to push the ball.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Could be a big week for those safeties.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: Whether it's Evan Williams reigning defensive player of the month
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: in the NFC, Or Brandon Cisse, rookie of the month
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: defensively in the NFC.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Both nice accolades. I don't want to hear Elijah Ponder's
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: name at all. I like that. And that's a great
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: drop right there, Drew. I don't want to hear his
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: name because they can get after you, too. And they're
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: like the Packers a little bit because they do a
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: lot of that mugging at the line. And then they
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: bring pressure from different spots. Neither offensive line is all
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: that good. And they get, and the Patriots, they do
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: get you off your mark. They do enough. And Jordan
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Love is as good as anybody hanging in the pocket
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: and diagnosing. you know, when he needs to get the
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: ball out and stuff, he's pretty good at avoiding sacks.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Very good, and very good at manipulating. He's hitting a
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: lot of hits this year because the line's been a
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: little Swiss cheesy, but for the most part, when it
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: comes to him having the sense that, oh, I better
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: get rid of this, or, oh, we're overmatched, or that...
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: The guy in my blindsides getting engulfed right now. He
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: seems to have that sense of getting rid of the ball. Yeah,
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: I'm with you.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: And they also there are a couple of checkdowns, I think,
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: watching back Carolina that were available that could have extended
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: some drives, especially into that fourth quarter.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: They just don't have a four minute offense.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: So their passing game is going to have to be
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: how they can control the clock a little bit into
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: those spots. But, Drew, you look at both of these teams.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: They're both really gettable up front. You mentioned the six-man looks.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: That was, like, my biggest takeaway watching the full league
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: a week ago with the.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Packers Thursday night game. No more Brewers into the peripherals.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: So it was just all football all the time as
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: I kicked the screen right on down here. Good Lord.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: That was a wild thing to see, though, if you
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: were watching live. That was awesome.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: That was phenomenal.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: That was crazy.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: I just booted the heck out of this thing right there.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: I apologize, but that was probably the number one thing
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: I noticed, Drew, is as much as last year, the
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: biggest change in the common theme across the league offensively
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: felt like everybody was running as many tight ends as possible.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: Seems like every team is trying to bring as many
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: guys up to the line of scrimmage as possible and
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: make you make a decision really, really quick. And, you know,
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: credit Brian Flores is probably the one that does it
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: the most. Packers have seen it a lot. And Jonathan
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: Gannon has started doing a ton of it as well. Yeah,
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: that's going to be the keys to me. I mean,
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: we just went through our keys to the game.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: So you'll hear a variations of it during Doug's pregame
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: show and during Dennis and Wes and James and Mike
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Heller's pregame show. But that's what they'll be kicking around. Yeah,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: and I mean... The defenses and the Packers' lack of
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: a running game, you're right, means they have to continually
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: air it out against good corners. They have to win
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: one-on-one battles. Tucker Craft, 100-yard game, could it be? It
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: very much could.
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: I think this is going to be the biggest week
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: for him, Drew, to feel as back as he's been.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: Seems like he's trending in the right direction. Seems a
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: little bit more Tucker Craft-ish. This, with the amount of
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: man that they're going to play and The Packers are
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: going to run the deep routes.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: Are they going to throw it deep?
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: That's going to be one of the bigger questions in
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: how patient does love get, but how much is Kraft
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: able to break one tackle by a linebacker, whether it's
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Ellis and company or Ponder, as you mentioned, if he's
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: not rushing the quarterback, Jack is, if he's not rushing,
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: if he's not rushing, you're to the benefit because the
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: dude's unreal. He could be one broken tackle away from
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: a 25, 30 yard play. And this could be a
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: huge Tucker craft day where they're desperately going to need them.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking. We think Sal Frelick might go to this game,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: might go home to the Boston area. That would make sense.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's been in town a lot. They have
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: to go home eventually, right? That'd be a fun one.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's probably going to go back there because
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: he's trying to bulk up again. After hitting that home
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: run in the World Series, I've got to assume he's
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: going to be eating a lot of plates of mom's
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: spaghetti this week.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: You've got to get carbs. You've got to carb up.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: You've got to go back home. That's what he said.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: He put on, what, 25 pounds a couple of off-seasons ago?
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: I remember that, yeah. He ate a lot of spaghetti.
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: I remember making the Willie Hayes maze jokes from age
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: two when he bulked up. But the thing is, you know,
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: these guys probably will be going home or going on
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: vacation eventually. I'm sure I get the sense they kind
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: of want to stay in town a little bit longer
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: and see how much they can take a hero.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Take a lap. Why not? Which is kind of cool.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: I think it's about time. It's about time, probably. And
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: now the weather's turning.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: I was going to say, once you see a three
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: in the forecast, that's probably ready, said Kyle.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Time to head for warmer climes. Boys, we all would
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: be really celebrating in South Beach. This would be a
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: good one to go to if you are a sell.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: This will be a short offseason, or will it?
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: We don't know.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: That's the question. We don't know what's going to happen. Actually,
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: another advantage for the Brewers, if spring training is pushed
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: and they get more time to recover from their deep,
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: deep playoff run, the deepest in franchise history, well then...
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: especially for the bullpen.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: I mean, some of those dudes that got taxed a
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: year ago that you sure thought Jared.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Koenig was going to be a piece. He'd be a
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: little bit more time off. A little bit more time.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: But yeah, that was a question. I thought that was
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: a good question someone asked me. Will they mark at
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: the Badgers game tomorrow? One last hurrah. Bucs play tonight.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: The Brewers have already made a triumphant statement at a
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Bucs game. We've seen a couple of those guys out
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: there a number of different times, for sure. And the
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Marquette game at the five serve as well. So it's
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: been a couple five serve I guess you can't have
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: too much of it now. It's never a bad time.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: I can't imagine anyone's going to not be cheering.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: Now, will anybody be upset if all of a sudden,
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: you know, it's like Nestor Corridor walks out with the trophy?
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, or Mike Vassallo and Dan Larea,
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: just with the, hey, the Brewers. I don't think anybody
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: would be upset. There might be a lot of, who's
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: that guy now? We'll cheer a lot. Yeah, you know,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Mike Vassallo can walk out there. He brings the youngster.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: The little guy will probably get the bigger pop. Oh,
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: big time.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: I was going to say, he's the star of the
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Vassallo family when he rolls into Camp Randall.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Always a fun time. You're not trash-talking my man, Nestor Corridor,
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: are you? I love Nestor Corridor. No, of course not.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: No, I mean, listen, I don't mean, hey, listen, if
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: Marcus Handel walked out there with the trophy, people would
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: get excited. But that's because Marcus Handel shows up anywhere.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: People get excited.
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: I was going to say, he could be cutting his grass.
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: People would be excited about Marcus Handel.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: No, absolutely.
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: I mean, hey, listen, why not? If there's anybody left, yeah,
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: if it's Vassallo.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Just go. Our Boston correspondent, Trenny Casey, a big Brewers
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: fan as well, will join us to talk about her
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: championship experience and Packers Patriots. She's going to join us
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: in about 45 minutes. We have the voice of the Packers,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Wayne Larravee. He's going to join us at 425. Can't
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: wait for that. Always very excited always fun to catch
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: up with wayne 877-794-1973 nicolaylaw.com talk and text line free
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: form friday take your thoughts about badgers rutgers hackers and
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: patriots i agree with billy it's the best game on
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: the slate i think In the 325 window. The most intriguing,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: best two teams, probably the best two quarterbacks. Two teams
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: trying to make a foothold and tell themselves they can
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: win their divisions and let's get after it. And if
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: you don't win this game, it's going to be a
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: hard case to make. Absolutely. You're in the huddle. Fox
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Or was he in.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: True huddle fashion?
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: We missed the.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Anniversary of the instant replay game by a day. It
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: was yesterday.
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: Yesterday, 1989. So that would have been, what, 37 years
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: ago yesterday?
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Yesterday.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: And in further review, we have a reversal.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: That's the end of that highlight that's not attached on it.
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: But listen, that was one of the all-time great.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: We have a reversal.
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: That's where, after further review, the Bears still suck first originated.
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: That was on a bunch of shirts.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: He wasn't even close to being over the line. I
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: don't think so either. I was going to say, I'm
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: watching this highlight. It's not as close. He's got his
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: right foot on the 15.
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: The Bears record book or the Bears media guide always
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: had an asterisk.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: Doesn't the entire body have to be across?
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Not even close.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: Now, Armin, if you want, it wouldn't be true huddle fashion,
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: as Drew said. I did hit the station account with
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: one that actually happened 26.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Years ago today.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: But that's not nearly as cool as 20 or 30
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: some years ago yesterday, because that is one of the
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: great moments.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: And shout out Kevin Gallagher, the NFL historian.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: He puts out so much of this good stuff online,
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: videos and telecasts and production stuff with NFL films, because Drew,
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: as great as different production companies are and networks have
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: gotten and streaming and it's.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: All amazing right now. They're all still second place to NFL.
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: The one NFL film still puts together and the stuff
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: they have from so many years ago that is so
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: well shot and cinematically put together. It is just pure
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: gold whenever it comes to your timeline.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: A thousand percent.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: So Billy mentioned it. I'll play it. This was on
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: this date. I probably should play it tomorrow. For the
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: show that we don't have. Stay consistent. Or I guess
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: you have money. That would be funnier. Unless you want
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: to come on and do the Badger postgame show with
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: me tomorrow after the Badgers beat up Rutgers. Always available, Billy.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: We can do that.
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: If you need an extra hand or if you need
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: a fill-in, I'm always available. But here we go with,
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: I think, a young Bill Schmidt was at this game,
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: if I'm not mistaken.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Here we go. Oops.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Barred.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Lays it up for Freeman, and it's incomplete. Or did
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: he make the catch at the 15?
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: What are they going to rule it?
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: He caught it.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Touchdown. He did what?
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: He did what? One of the all-timers, and we know
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: our buddy Free loves that one.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's always a fun one. You had something going on, Billy, right?
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: A funny story, like you were a kid and You
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: were sick or something like that? That was the first
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: game I ever sat with my dad at.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: That's awesome.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: I had gone to one other game, and he had
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: gotten an extra ticket, and I sat with my cousin.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: So that was the first game that I actually got
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: to go to with my dad. I had a double
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: ear infection.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what it was. Desperately didn't want to go
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: into the game.
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: My dad's holding me down in the back of the car,
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: calling my mom, and he's like, Tracy, talk some sense
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: into the kid. We're two hours away. It's pouring rain.
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: We're either going in or we're going home. So there's
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: one of the two happening, and I'm not burning the
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: money here. So we're going in. Let's figure it out.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Aren't you glad? And luckily we did.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: See, he knows best.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: What?
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Man, dads know best. They really do. Now, we have
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: a developing situation rolling on. What are we not talking
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: enough about was our theme of yesterday's show.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: One thing, Drew, that maybe should have gotten in, I
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: should have tried to crowbar in, was this Brandon Ayuk situation.
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: Out in San Francisco. I don't know if you've been
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: following or some of our listeners have been. So Brandon
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: Ayuk's been out of football while still on the Niners
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: for the last two years. And played since 2024 when
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: he was injured. Sat out all last year as he's
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: been trying to get himself traded off of the 49ers.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: Well, he's got new representation. Drew Rosenhaus.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: Drew Rosenhaus said, young man, you're going to work. We're
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: showing up at 3 o'clock. On Friday, well, in the
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: last 15 minutes, now a warrant remains active for Brandon
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: Ayuk's alleged arrest from a December speeding incident near Levi's Stadium.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: The Santa Clara County District Attorney Office is telling NBC
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: Sports Bay Area. This comes out after yesterday when George
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: Kittle was asked at his locker, like, hey, how's it
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: going to be to see Brandon Ayuk tomorrow?
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: He goes... You sure he's making it in? Oh, boy.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: You sure he's making it into the building? I plead
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: the fifth. I don't know what's going on. This is
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: football fans. I'm the only one.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: This is a phenomenal reality television show playing out with
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: right now. I think the NFC's best team and a
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: guy that I think they've completely forgotten was actually on
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: their team. But now he decides that he wants to
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: be a part of it. Apparently, let's get back by
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: those power lines.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Back for the substation and back getting a check after
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: running it all dry. Heard that Shanahan was FaceTiming Juwan Jennings.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: They were trying to pry him loose from Minnesota because
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: they wanted that receiver and they have a type and
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: they like his cut of his jib. They like him
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: back and he's getting no targets and no play with,
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: you know, the fighting skull brother. So what? I mean,
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: so there's nothing to that.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Apparently he said, yeah, but apparently he's, he's happy in Minnesota.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: I don't know how, cause you're right. He's getting no targets.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: The only guy getting less, I think wasn't that straight
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: up more tampering by Shanahan. Who's driven down that street before.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah. He might've been made time a receiver on another team.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: Maybe it was FaceTime. He was driving down there, down,
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: down the road.
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: I like what a fascinating, what a fascinating year they've had.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: And this one just bubbles up on top of it.
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: And again, like the dude is not played in two years.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: But wants to be back into the NFL, shockingly so,
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: because they took all his guaranteed money away. But I
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: thought it was going to play out of, like, the
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: Jamal Adams meme, where he just tried to scan the
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: key card and didn't lock him in, or didn't let
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: him in.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Looks like they might just be waiting for him at
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: the front. Waiting posted up. All right, you do want
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: to show up. We appreciate it. We're excited for it.
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: Aren't the only ones waiting on you. There's other people
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: waiting on him, apparently. So I don't know who owes
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: more to more people, him or Rasheed Rice. I mean,
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: Rasheed Rice did file for bankruptcy, I think.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: What, $ 3. 4 million or something?
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: $ 3. 4 million on debts, which is impressive work. If you're
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: that young and you've accumulated that much debt, that's impressive work.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: And you're not a doctor. You know what I mean?
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: But yeah, this is quite the story playing out. So
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: as the next page turns, or as the world turns
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: in the next soap opera, and I feel like Drew
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: Rosenhaus probably is not excited about this because it's still like, okay,
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: This is my name we're using as, like, a legitimate
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: NFL agent, like, to try and negotiate for you, and
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: this is going to happen.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know. But, boy, another wild one. It really is.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: But he just– he came out right out of the gates.
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: He said, okay, you want me to be your agent?
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: Here's the first thing. You're going to go show up.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Show up.
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: Like, you actually have to– like, if Drew Rosenhaus is
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: being tough on a player, you know he's.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Got– You know, he's got, like, responsibilities. He might be
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: kind of sick and tired of it. Fascinating one.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: You see all of these teams, and you wonder what's
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: the known quantity in the NFC. The more and more
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: it looks like it, Drew, the team it feels like
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: you know the most about might be in your own
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: NFC North. And that Bears team is feeling like the
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: most convincing thing in this NFC, depending on what's going
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: on out there in Santa Clara.
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: And this is the time that, like, X does its
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: best work. Like Twitter and Billy always says, I can't
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: believe the site is still free. Some of the funniest
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: tweets right now about, you know, there are guys staking out,
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: you know, outside the facility. People saying, why isn't the
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: Bay Area Sports Channel follow Ayuk's car?
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: No, he's not driving a Bronco, so I don't know
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: that it's going to be as easily identifiable.
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so, man, I will see how this ends. Will
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: it end with him playing football one day is the
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: question most people have. I think it's going to eventually, Billy,
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: but I don't know. I mean, that's a good question
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: still out there.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: It's like 2007 Packers. Hashtag IUK watch.
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: The more things change, the more they stay the same.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: This is the last game Sunday or the last games
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: before the trade deadline. Tuesday afternoon. And I think based on,
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: you know, the little research and just talking to people,
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: most people have given up on the idea that the
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Packers will trade for a Jonathan Taylor or a Brees
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Hall or. Yeah, I think those have kind of, I
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: think those have subsided. Tony Pollard.
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: It's not, you know. I don't think the running back
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: one's happening. I would be interested, Drew, at a couple
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: other spots.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: That's it. I say defensive tackle and maybe even tight end.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: I had not thought about tight end. John O'Smith, eh.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: But if you could get like a Dallas Goddard or
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: somebody or a Juwan, what's a Juwan John? The kid
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: from New Orleans. Juwan Johnson from New Orleans. Yeah. And Goddard.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: expiring contract. So you would think seemingly rather available. They're
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: both like day three picks probably. And they're both really
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: good players, both really good red zone. As an offset
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: to have, because that's if you're not going to be
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: able to run the ball. haven't had more options to
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: throw it around.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: And they run enough two and three tight end sets.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: They've put Redmond out on the field enough to know
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: that they want to have more of it.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: I like that thought, Drew. So I think that's way
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: more likely to me than a, than a running back.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: And then I think defensive tackle is the spot that
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: they would give up some capital for because Hargraves out
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: and Brinson's on IL and you just, Can't have enough
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: of those dudes either. No, you can't.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: And both of the positions, you have somebody coming off
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: injury who has looked better in recent weeks, but still
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: not themselves. John Kurzawa and YouTube Packers don't have the
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: draft capital to make a move before deadline.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Well, they have draft capital. They're getting some compensatory picks, right?
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: That's the thing. First rounder. I mean, no.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: And like Drew said, you know, those are day three guys.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: I think if you're acquiring a tight end or like
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: a Grover Stewart from Indianapolis on the defensive tackle side.
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: They're getting a what? A fourth round pick coming in
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: from Malik Willis in company.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: And John, I get it. They had eight.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: They have eight picks in 20, 20, 27. They also
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: just made six of them in 26. And it's feeling
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: like one of potentially their better draft classes they've had
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: because it feels like they got two.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Guys right out of the gates.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: So the more picks you have doesn't always equate to
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: the best stuff. And the lack of a first round
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: pick is true. None of these guys are going for
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: a first round pick. And I don't think that's as
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: necessary at the moment because you've kind of now identified, Drew,
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: over the last couple of years, you've identified your core.
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: You just paid most of the core on offense with
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: the pass catchers and you drafted Golden in the first round.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: So he's not going anywhere. And defensively, you're going to.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: lock up at least Evan Williams at the end of
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: the year, you know, Edgerton Cooper is going to be
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: a part of it. So you kind of have your
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: core there. You can, you can muddle through without a
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: couple of those draft picks. I would be, I would
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: be interested. I don't know that they will, but here's
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: the part that's different. And I know he always mentions
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: Ted Thompson, that he's got a little bit of Ted
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: Thompson in him. Does Brian good accounts operates a lot
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: more like Ron Wolf in that category. I think that
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: it'll be much more aggressive in other ways of roster
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: building than just coveting hoarding and holding onto every draft
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: pick imaginable and thinking that's the only way to be
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: able to improve it.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: They didn't have a lot of picks this past April,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: but they maximized them. They made impactful ones, made impactful selections.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: And that maybe that's a blueprint.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: And maybe there, maybe that's where defensive tackle drew. There's,
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: they're still banking on McClellan who the reason why they
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: liked him in the third round was because he got
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: better as the year went on. The running back thing is,
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: is interesting. The names you brought up, they're all playing well.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: pollard's having a really good year their offensive line is
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: pretty solid there in tennessee so i don't know how he.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: I just watching josh jacobs try to run behind this
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: line it doesn't matter no and all of you tomlinson
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: could come aside with the backers and he ain't gonna
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: find a hole spot on and the way that they're
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: running it at this moment i don't know that any
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: of those guys are markedly better than what josh jacobs
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: should be able to give you yeah now can he
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: that that'll be something that'll get uh you know worked
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: out over the next nine weeks and we'll see if
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: it's rusty or washed will be probably the two differentiators
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: or he's back to being josh jacobs and he starts
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: trending up and up and maybe a tweak on the
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: offensive line that potentially happens this week i would help
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: it out play.
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: Better eventually i think we've all kind of seen the
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: same thing when he's back like is he in shape
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: i don't know but i i think we all kind
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: of hope and expect him to get better. Then again,
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: I thought that about the running game every week. Like, well,
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: this is the week they get something going. Cause how
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: could it stay this bad? And that's what I keep
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: thinking to myself, but I don't know. Maybe it just will,
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: I guess.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: Uh, but yeah, yeah.
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: Hope that they eventually start to get a little momentum
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: on the ground, find something they can get going, get
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: a little more creative. Maybe, maybe working some other guys,
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: you know, Lloyd's gotten his look. Obviously Jacob's got a
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: bunch of carries. maybe Pierre Strong, but they've got to
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: find some way to try and get better there.
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: Well, and everyone's favorite, Chris Brooks, coming off of the IR,
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: soon designated a return, so he'll start his practice window.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: News from the Packers practice in the reports earlier today.
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: You know, Keyshawn Nixon was back at practice. There were
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: a lot of videos going around of him running at practice. However, Drew,
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: he said, they're all AI.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: Not real.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: Not real. That wasn't me. Not real. It's funny. But
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: we got a lot of videos of you running. I
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: didn't do it. Nope.
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: I don't know where you guys made those. I don't
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: know how you guys made those, but those are not real.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: So Keyshawn Nixon, maybe not back at practice today. Javon
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: Bullard out. Personal reasons. And the four that missed the
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: game last week are the same ones, or the four
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: that have missed most of the week. And Sean Ryan,
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: Zayer Franklin, Travis Glover, and Josh Wiley also out.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Wiley. More to your point of a tight end, maybe
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: being the guy you'd go for. That might be the
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: guy they target.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: They trade for two tight ends in one year. Mark
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: Redman and another one here at the deadline. That could
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: be interesting. I'm going to scour that market here during
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: the break.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: It'd be interesting if they made that pull. I like
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: both of those two names. John Smith's going to get
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: any better anytime soon, right?
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: No, no.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: Clearly not getting any younger. Started off, I thought, all right.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: There's a reason why he didn't score, I think, on
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: week one. That was the one. There's a reason he
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: didn't score week one.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. All right. 877-794-1973. Trenny joins us in 20 minutes
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: to talk Brewers looking back, Packers Patriots looking ahead, our
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: NBC Boston correspondent, and the voice of the Packers, Wayne Larrabee,
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: joins us today at 425. In the meantime, let's just
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: enjoy a Friday, shall we? You're in the huddle. Fox
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew Billion-Armond huddled up on a Friday

• 35:36
  Speaker 4: you've not visited one of their clinics yet, a little

  Speaker 4: bit like going to a sport clips, you're going to

• 35:50
  Speaker 4: We're entertaining all Packers trade suggestions with the default program.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: knowing that they probably won't make a move. Yeah, like,
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: that's just a good one to have in the back
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: of your mind. Not happening, but... But if it did...
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: What would be interesting? If you were in charge, what
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: would you do? Because, I don't know, well, would Sunday's... Obviously,
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: an injury might prompt something, but does Sunday's outcome prompt
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: it one way, or does it push it? Oh, we
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: got to make this move, because you got to think
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: the windows now. You're in the mix. You got Parsons
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: coming back. Your defense looks great. Love is playing at
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: a high level. There's no reason to think that if
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: you can punch your ticket to the tournament and get in,
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: who knows what can happen? You're seemingly right there.
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: And it feels, I don't know, I don't know that
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: there's clearly a great team if there is a great team.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: That's the thing. Packers right now, if you've watched the
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: first half of the season, they don't feel like a
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl team. What does a Super Bowl team feel like?
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: What did Seattle feel like last year?
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: Correct. They felt like they were very up and down.
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: Very generic and kind of up and down. Yep, 100%.
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: Not like, hey, let's make plans for February. No, if
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: it's a golf tournament, Drew, they've made the cut now, right?
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: Like in this week, this is the start of moving day.
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: Are you going to separate yourselves and get yourself into
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: a conversation where Christmas Day can be for the division?
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: Or is it going to be scrapping with San Francisco, L.A., Seattle,
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: one of these teams for the final wildcard spots?
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: It's going to be interesting. It truly feels... Maybe I'm wrong.
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: Maybe Washington has a great run in a maybe Dallas
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: figures it all out. Feels like it's the NFC West
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: and the NFC North for five spots. So I guess
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: I can clump Arizona in there. I don't believe in them.
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: I'd say seven teams for five spots and a game
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: like today. This weekend is going to be a big one.
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: You mentioned day three pick for a Goddard or Jawan Johnson.
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: Grover Stewart's the other name that's kind of come up
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: from Indianapolis. The other guys that they've at least been
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: somewhat linked to DeForest Buckner just went last week to
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: San Francisco for a 2027 fourth round pick as a
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: three time pro bowler, albeit 31 years old, up there
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: in age, but still a really, really productive player and
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: has good football left in him. And Quentin Nelson goes
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: from Indianapolis to Seattle for a third and 27 and
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: a fifth and 28. That's an eight time pro bowler
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: and a dude that's probably ticketed for the hall of fame.
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: So he's on an expiring contract.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: I get it again.
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: Both of those guys reportedly the Packers were in conversations with,
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: but if those guys are going for those picks, I
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: do believe there are plenty of guys that can give,
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: that can help you.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: That will be available for a fourth and a fifth.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: Has the biggest trade of this cycle already been made?
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Good question. I struggle to think there's a bigger one
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: than in terms of package than Simmons. That's what I'm thinking.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: But like Derek Henry, what does he bring?
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: Henry feels more like Henry feels more like a day
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: three pick to that's right. Like, especially after last night.
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: I mean, Drew, I don't know. That's wash out in
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: the rain. I don't know what you could probably take
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: from that, especially with their Fiano guy that was starting
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: at quarterback.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: They had no chance.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: But he doesn't look good. He, he, if.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: Anybody looks like there's less tread on the tires, this
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: is the first year you're starting to think that he
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: almost looks old.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Um, so I think he's probably a day three pick,
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: maybe two day, three picks, uh, gets it for, for
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Derek Henry, the other one in Jonathan Taylor, probably a
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: second and some, but Simmons, you know, whether you agree
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: with it or not he was instant impact the other
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: night i mean he instantly walked in and wrecked that
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: game so.
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: It's sort of like when they traded for khalil mac
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: i remember that first game against us obviously now he
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: had i think more counting stats there, like sacks.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: He didn't have a pick sex. No, but, but I
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: thought he had impact right away. Sort of like similar
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: to that game. Definitely helped them. Now what sustained we'll see.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: But, but the thought of Chicago in the beginning of
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: the year was, and I think it was kind of right.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: Their defense is going to give up a lot.
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: And are they going to be, are they going to
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: be a Cincinnati of the last couple of years where
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: Joe Burrow's got to score 35 to think you have
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: a chance to win. Their defense has been a lot better,
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: and that trade just made them a lot more formidable
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: with that offense. I think that's kind of been the biggest.
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: I mean, a lot of people point to Caleb, and
• 40:18
  Speaker 7: Caleb has been good, but he's been in and out
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: of the lineup for a bit, but it's their defense
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: consistently through the 20s. Last year, they depended a lot
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: on the takeaways, right?
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: That was the big story. It was like the Bears
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: get all these.
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: Takeaways, but they were giving up yards, but they're not
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: doing that this year. They're shutting teams down, and obviously
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: that makes them stronger, so one of the storylines to
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: be worked out. Although I, if you listen to bears fans,
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: this is the first time they've ever been six and two.
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: I mean, they are, they're already throwing the parade in Chicago.
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: It feels like, um, so I.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: Mean, again, I know, I know, but they're excited. Rightfully so.
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: Cause it's the first time that the first time that
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: the quarterback is one of the reasons why they are.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: That's the thing.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: I think they feel like, Oh, this could be more legitimate. Now,
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: if Caleb can be, there's some, I would think some
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: real lasting power there. They got a good coach and
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: a good quarterback that that's a good combination to start
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: with when, uh, You haven't had that in, you know, 35.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: 40 years. Yes, indeed.
• 41:10
  Speaker 7: Or you've had guys, you know, just kind of buttressing
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: the great defense. But if Caleb's a reason, and if
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: he's complete 70 buttress, is that the right term? Buttressing.
• 41:20
  Speaker 7: Buttressing up against the great defense. You had a Rex Crossman.
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: Drew, you ever put that in any stories?
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: Buttress never made it in on any, you know, this
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: really buttressing bullpen problem.
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: The bullpen buttressing up against a great starting group. I mean,
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: if their quarterback throws.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: Projecting structural support built against a wall or building to
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: absorb lateral forces and prevent the wall from bowing, leaning
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: or collapsing. Yeah, exactly. So there you go. How the
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: hell did you pull that out?
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: Well, anyway, where do you where do you find a
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: word like buttressing? Don't know where it came from.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: To strengthen support or prop up a nonphysical concept such
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: as buttressing an argument with data or buttressing a financial portfolio.
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: That's what I was going for more. Like that second definition. No,
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: I think he used it well.
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: I'm just, again, wondering, is this a word of the
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: day calendar, or is this just you reading through the
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: stories that you're finding?
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: I could never answer where it came in the depths
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: of my mind. I have no idea why that came out.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: But if their quarterback scores 70% all year, then yes.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: If Bears fans are ready to throw a parade, though,
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: here's the thing. They're home against the Buccaneers Sunday night.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: They should win. They go to New Orleans. They should
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: win that. Should win that one, too. Yeah, you're right.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: They have their bye after that. But after Buccaneers, they
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: have a bye. Then they go to New Orleans. And
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: then they have the short week game Thanksgiving at Ford Field.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: If the Lions win that game and the Bears go
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: to 0-3 in the division, they ain't winning the division then,
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: I don't think. Much different. Much different story. The calculus
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: gets much different. So that becomes the circle it game
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: for them. Because then you're on the road to the playoffs.
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: Because that's the thing that Ben Johnson still has to
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: prove is division.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: Division wins. Because then they have in a four-game span,
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: they have the Lions, the Jags at home. I don't
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: know how the Jags will play in December at Soldier Field.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: We'll see. Yeah, that'll be a question. Then the Dolphins
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: in Miami and the Bills in Buffalo. Ooh, their matchup
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: is in Buffalo.
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: So if the Lions win that, then the Bears might
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: be on a little thing where they lose like three
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: out of four. I like this. I'm just saying there's
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: now you can look around the corner. You see monsters
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: around every corner in the end.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: And you look at the schedule and go, oh, yeah. But,
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: you know, it's a week to week league, as we
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: always say. But, you know, I think they'll prevail against
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: Tampa and New Orleans, although you never know. You don't.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: You're right. Buccaneers on a Sunday night might rise up
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: and shock the world.
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: And Chicago will be, okay, so that's a Saturday night,
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: December 19th.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: Bears-Bills. Yeah. On CBS. Ooh, that is. And then their
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: next game after that is the Packers on Christmas Day.
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: I was just going to say, because I thought, wow,
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: Packers are going to get them on a little bit
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: of a short week.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: Packers will be the one on a shorter week. The
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: Bears are for real. That's the stretch when they'll show
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: that they're for real. Great time for some dissension. Lions-Jags.
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: Let's get that. Dolphins-Bills-Packers.
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: And, I mean, the Packers don't get a short week,
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: but they get a bye week the week before because
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: they host Miami.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Could be a lot worse. That's also in Toyotathon.
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: I would also think about that.
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: It's around the corner here. Toyotathon hasn't even started yet.
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: We need Jan to start dusting those sails off and
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: get those big bows hanging up on those cars.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: He's had a great year. Anybody actually buying one like that?
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: Great question.
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: I've wondered, who's out there actually buying cars with a
• 44:43
  Speaker 7: bow on it? That's a great question.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: I wonder that. If you have one, send it in
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: to us. Because I want to know. I do want
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: to see that picture. I do want to see that picture.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: Not any other pictures. Put a bow on your cyber truck.
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: That's gone. Before they stop production. Before they stop them.
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: You should have bought a Kia. There you go.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: Cardinals are going out. Baby on board. All right. When
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: we come back, we're going to go to the Boston Bureau. Packers, Patriots.

  Speaker 4: Welcome indeed to the Huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew Wilson,
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: Bill Schmidt, Armin Sarian bringing it to you on this
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: fabulous football Friday. One week removed from the Brewers World
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: Championship World Series Parade. Billy's representing with that championship hat
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: right now. Get it rolling. That's right. And we have
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: a very special guest on line one of the NicoletLaw.com
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: talk and text line.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: From the Boston Bureau of the Huddle, it's our pal
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: Trenny Casey. Trenny, welcome to the program. How are you?
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: I'm great. I, too, have a World Series hat, but
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: can I have a grievance right now with fanatics in
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: the MLB.com shop? I don't know if anyone's listening. Why
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: is it taking, like, two and a half weeks for
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: me to get my championship sweatshirts?
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: It's unreal.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: Why? It's unreal. Like, how are they the only sporting... Like,
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: only store in America that cannot ship something to you within, like,
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: 36 minutes? Like, everywhere else I can get anything at
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: any time as quickly as I want it. And Fanatics
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: is like... Oh, you want to order your Brewers championship
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: stuff the minute the game's over? You'll get it around
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: November 18th. Come on, fanatics.
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: It's a joke. He must be planning more of his
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: white parties instead.
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: Exactly. The tough thing is, like, Trini, it was like
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: that in the WBC.
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: Oh, I'd really like to wear the WBC jersey to
• 47:35
  Speaker 6: the game that I'm going to next week. Joke's on you,
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: you'll get it in August. The biggest ripoff there is possible.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: In fairness, it's all year round. So I ordered that
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: cool sort of throwback starter jacket that I wore to
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: all the games, which I got tons of compliments on.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: Awesome product, Fanatics. Why did I order it before the
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: postseason started and I didn't get it until the start
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: of the NLCS? Now, I was... 8-1 or something in
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: that jacket, but that's beside the point. I should have
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: been able to wear it the entire postseason.
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: Well, that's a you thing. You were 8-1, though. Let's
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: not give the jacket credit. Let's give you the credit.
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: First of all, I got a watch list going, and
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: Michael Rubin's always at the top of that list. Fanatics
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: has ruined sports merchandising. You know how I feel about it.
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: We haven't talked about the prices, even, that are still
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: outrageous to me, but This is a year-round. It's not
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: just because everyone, there's a high demand for these products.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is an all-year-round. So that's why I
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: just keep going to my guy at 84th and Layton
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: in the back of the truck. I mean, he's got
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: all the good stuff. Armand's all about the bootleg stuff.
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: You already left.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: I know. That's the thing, Armand. Like, I can't do that. Like,
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: I knew I had limited time in Milwaukee, and I
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: was like, I don't want to stand in line at
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: the Brewers team store and then risk getting shut out.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: So I was like, I'll just order it off Fanatics.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: I'll have it at least probably by the time I
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: get home. I don't know why I thought I'd have
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: it by the time I get home. That was a
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: silly thought because, of course, I won't have it until, like, Christmas.
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: That's probably, yeah. I'll get you one from Kev outside
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: of Fiserv.
• 49:00
  Speaker 6: He was selling them outside of the Jonas Brothers show
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: on Sunday night.
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: Love it.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: They had some really, really good stuff. Love that. Trini,
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: did you stick around for the parade or did you
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: have to get out of town?
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: Sure did, Drew. I sure did. I found a good friend,
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: Mark Tauscher, and his family. We're hanging out on the
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: parade route. And I was like, do you mind if
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: I just saddle up with you guys? I have just
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: one friend coming. She's small. She'll fit right in. We'll
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: let the kids hang on the railing. It's fine. Yeah.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: And the only thing that stunk was that I didn't
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: think ahead of time to bring nips. or anything to drink,
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: which there weren't bathrooms anyways, so probably smart. But I did,
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: Mark did arrange for my friend Mags and I to
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: get a little pull off a bottle of Hennessy to
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: warm us up a little bit. Which was super fun.
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: And then we proceeded to go towards the end of
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: the parade. We went to Sporting Club. Is that over
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: like Cathedral Square area? And then, you know where I'm going, boys.
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: We got some roadies, and we walked to Joe Cats.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: Joe Cats. I knew it. I knew you were going
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: to Joe Cats. I love it. Upstairs had to get
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: an appearance. Did you notice how she slipped from Boston
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: to back to Scani? She started with the nips, which
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: is a total New England thing.
• 50:22
  Speaker 7: That's the little shoot bottle things.
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, you don't know?
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: The airplane bottles.
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: We call them nips out here. Over there, they're nips.
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: And then she said roadies, which is a total Scani thing. Roadies.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: You have dual citizenship.
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: I'm a woman of many homes. I have two homes.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: I have two homes and I love them both. Milwaukee
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: always will have the slight edge because it's my true,
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: true hometown. But no, it was fun. I have literally
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: just been living this week. I stayed out. So not only, guys,
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: did I go to the parade. I went to the Flippin'
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: Packers game on Thursday.
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: So I drove. So after I partied with Drew and
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: his lovely wife and his lovely daughter and my family
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: until like almost 1 a.m. after the Brewers won the
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: whole thing, on Wednesday, I got up, ate breakfast at
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: my hotel, Drove to Green Bay to see a friend
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: who's dealing with some health issues. Spent some time with her.
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: Went to the Packers game. Left the Packers game after
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: roll out the barrel because I was like, they've got
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: this in a bag. They're going to win. I need
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: to beat traffic.
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: Another Wisconsin.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: And so I got out because I got up at
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: 545 a.m. on Thursday. Got in the quickly, like didn't
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: even shower. Full disclosure, didn't even shower. Put on my
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: parade clothes. drove back to Milwaukee, but not before stopping
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: at a Green Bay quick trip to get coffee and
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: three Milwaukee Journal Sentinels, the commemorative ones. They had three.
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: They had three of them?
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: Well, Armin, it was 6.06 a.m. in Green Bay. So yes,
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: they had three.
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, they did.
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: So they still had this on papers. And then drove
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: down and went to... to the parade and then to
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: sporting club and then to Joe cats and then to
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: Dorsey next door for dinner, where I hear Pat Murphy
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: was having dinner in the back room. I did not
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: actually get eyes on him, but I have good sources
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: that tell me he was having dinner there. Finally got
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: home about 8 15 PM, crawled into bed and probably
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: slept from nine a nine PM. 9 p.m. to 9 a.m.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: the next day. I slept for 12 hours.
• 52:24
  Speaker 7: So I've been living on DayQuil and NightQuil for a week.
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: I'm a little under the weather. Training Casey joining us
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: from NBC Sports Boston. Have your colleagues been congratulating you?
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: And they know that you're just because you've been in
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: Boston when they've won a lot of titles because they
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: win a lot of titles there. But now you get
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: to live it. And how are you being treated in
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: the office and around town?
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: People are actually very, very happy for the brewers. I've
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: actually weirdly had two days of back-to-back charity events. So
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: last time I emceed something and today I was just
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: a guest at a charity event for another foundation that
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: I do some work with. And like to a person,
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: everyone's like, oh my God, congratulations. Oh my gosh, I
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: was so excited for the brewers. Like they were such
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: an easy team to root for. I've been wearing my
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: brewer stuff around town. I walk past our, we live
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: in like little Italy is where my husband and I
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: live in Boston. And I walked to my car because
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: there's no parking almost anywhere here. So you have to
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: park far away. And I walked to my car. I
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: passed the fire station, engine one, every day. And all
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: the firefighters there were like, we haven't seen you. Congratulations.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: That was so awesome. So, yes, people are very and
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: like one kid stopped me on the bridge. My husband
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: and I were coming back from dinner last week. And
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: I had my brewer's hat on and my brewer's jacket.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: And he was like, I'm such a big brewer's fan. Like,
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: I rooted for them the whole postseason, and they are, like,
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: now my favorite team. I just love them so much. Like,
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: I love Sal Freelick, and he was probably, like, 13
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: years old. It was really exciting, and I just, they
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: have captured the hearts of a nation.
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: Love it.
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: They really did, and it's hard. Very rare does the
• 53:56
  Speaker 6: best team become the most lovable team. That crossover doesn't
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: happen a whole lot. Trenny, I'm wondering, you've done so
• 54:04
  Speaker 6: much in media and now obviously working in Boston, but
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: having a connection and a fandom. Being in this business,
• 54:11
  Speaker 6: a lot of people say it just gets sucked completely dry,
• 54:13
  Speaker 6: and you don't watch a certain game that you're covering
• 54:16
  Speaker 6: as a fan, but in your job, how much do
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: you think the fandom and having that love of the
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: team being able to celebrate it Makes you better in
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: being able to connect with the viewers that are fans
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: watching the product every night.
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, for sure. Like I understand, like I kept and
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: I think, Drew, we talked about this last week when
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: I was on the show prior to game game five.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: Like people have been drawing the comparison to 2004. And
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: like when I talk to people here about it, everyone says, oh,
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: my God, that was exactly what it was like here
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: in 2004. Like people who had lost loved ones were
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: like dedicating the run to them. And when they won
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: the championship, even though they won, I mean, really like.
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: Similar to the Brewers, the real big series was, like,
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: getting over the hump and beating the Yankees, right? So
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: similar to the Brewers, what was getting over the hump
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: was beating the Dodgers. And then the World Series almost
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: at that point, like, felt inevitable. The Red Sox, I believe,
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: swept the Cardinals in 0-4. That's right.
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: Whereas, you know, the Brewers, they only needed five games
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: to dispatch, you know, the Rays. And they're, like, the parade,
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: and everyone's like, oh, my God, I partied for days,
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: and I watched the game with my dad. And so I...
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: It's nice to finally have that connection with them, because
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: here I think they've become sort of numb to titles,
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: and in turn I've become numb to titles and parades.
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: So to be a part of it simply as a
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: fan was so awesome. Although I will say, I'm good
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: on the, the parade was awesome, I probably don't need
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: to do a parade again. I probably have my fill.
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Fireworks are always my number one.
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: You know what though, I will say this, guys, I've never,
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: of all the parades I've covered, I've covered six parades
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: out here, I have never seen players get off of
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: vehicles and get into the stands the way the Brewers did.
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: Like actually truly interact with their fans. That was something
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: different and special. Like, I've seen Gronk, like, lean out
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: and do the beer tosses and kind of, like, slide down. Like,
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: you know, they get– but there's still, like, a barrier
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: between them. Like, the way that the Brewers– and maybe
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: this is just my Wisconsin bias, but I feel like
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: the way that that team embraced the entire city and
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: the whole state, like, that felt special and different from
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: anything I've ever seen.
• 56:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, see, and when you have the duck boats going
• 56:29
  Speaker 7: in Boston– on the Charles, you had that barrier.
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: You can't do that, right? So they were getting out.
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: Well, they do. So the duck boats, duck boats are
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: land and sea.
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: I know, but they do.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: It's a rolling rally, but it is harder to, but
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: you know what though? It's not like the brewers were
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: jumping out of the windows. Like they came down the exit,
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: the bus exit. I mean, any, any player could do that.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: Any player in any city could do that. And the
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: brewers chose to interact with their fans in a way
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: that other athletes did not. And that's like, that's something
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: super special.
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: It's pretty cool. Now, Trent, we got to shift gears
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: because you got another little Packers game in your neighborhood.
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: Important one. Coming up on Sunday. Huge. Not going to
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: that one, by the way. You're not going to that one?
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: I don't blame you.
• 57:10
  Speaker 8: No.
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: Watch it on the couch.
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: Like the rest of us. But what is the buzz there?
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: Packers coming off kind of a mini bye and they've
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: had time to get ready for Drake May and company.
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: How do you see this one laying out?
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: So most people here think it's not a layup for
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: the Patriots, but most people expect the Patriots to win
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: this game. Like they see this as one of the more,
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: they've got six pretty tough games coming up. So the
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: Patriots have the Packers on Sunday at here for 25.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: And then next week they, is it next week that
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: we go? I think.
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: Detroit. Yeah. Next week, Detroit in Munich. Is that right?
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: In Munich. Yeah. Like the early morning game. And then
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: they've got like somewhere in there. They've got Minnesota. They've
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: got a game against the Chiefs coming up on the road.
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: They've got a game at home against the Bills. Like
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: they have all these really difficult games, like pretty good
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: playoff caliber teams coming up. And when people look at
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: the schedule out here and even me, like I look
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: at this as quite frankly, after watching the Packers play
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: on Thursday night, like Drake May is, I would say,
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: a top five quarterback in the NFL. And if you
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: have a top five quarterback in the NFL, that's a
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: hard team to beat. And he has been winning games
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: without A.J. Brown, without Mack Hollins, without Romeo Dobbs. Hunter
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: Henry went down. It was announced, Mike Vrabel made it
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: clear today, announced today that both A.J. Brown and Travion Henderson,
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: which is actually, I don't know if you guys saw
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: the story, it's actually kind of sad. He's had like
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: some experiencing like neurological symptoms. So he was hospitalized. They
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: don't really know what's going on with Travion Henderson. So
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: he's going to be out again. They've had a patchwork
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: offensive line. They lost Elijah Vera Tucker. They lost Mike Unwenu. So,
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: but like, for whatever reason, like with Drake May, they
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: have not entirely skipped a beat. He has been able
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: to find a way to help them win. I mean,
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: the Packers defense is going to have their hands full
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: where I think the Packers might have an edge is
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: they're so good at forcing turnovers and the Patriots this year,
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: like if the Packers are going to win, they have
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: to win. force the patriots into mistakes the patriots have
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: turned the ball over i believe 15 times already this
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: year they only turn the ball over 16 times all
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: of last season and they're doing it in myriad ways
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: guys they're throwing interceptions they're fumbling the ball like they
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: like they can they can get a little sloppy with
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: the ball um the Patriots center and Drake May sometimes
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: like it doesn't just not a clean snap. So there
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: are ways I think for the Packers defense in particular
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: to take advantage of them. But like Drake May is
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: a hard quarterback to beat. He's got a big arm.
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: He's not afraid to like take the check down when
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: he needs to. And the biggest thing is he's just
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: a big body who can run. And he's not, you know,
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: he's not afraid to run their run game though. It's
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: not been great because their offensive line, similar to the Packers,
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: isn't very good. Like it should be a good game.
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: I just feel like the Patriots probably have the edge
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: with Drake may at quarterback and being at home.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 6: It feels like a field goal game either way. And
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 6: I like the, the contrasting thoughts because here people think,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 6: Jordan loves the better quarterback. You see the quarterback each week.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 6: I think it's different. Drake over the last four weeks
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 6: has been remarkable. Putting the first four games to bed
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 6: where it was a little skittish, little frustrated, obviously, in
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 6: that fourth quarter in week one against Seattle.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: What have you noticed?
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, 13 touchdowns, a one pick in four games
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 6: is a remarkable run to be on.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know what was going on early on in
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: the season with him. He did not look at all
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: like the quarterback. He was tentative with his throws. And
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's because he was trying to
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: sort of get used to an offense that added A.J. Brown,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: that added Romeo Dobbs, and this feeling of having to
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: get the ball to those guys if he wasn't quite
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: sure who he could trust yet. But over the last,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: let's see, I guess... Let's see, first four, they've played nine.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: Have they played eight games, nine games? I guess like
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: the last four or five games. And I think they're
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: five and three. You lose track now with the 17,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: plus the 17-game season totally throws me off. He has
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: just been more decisive. he has made much better decisions.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: The biggest issue in the first, especially the first three
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: games of the season, he was making bad decisions. Like
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: he was throwing into, and he did it again against Chicago.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: And that's what I mean. Like if you can get
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: Drake May a little confused and a little frustrated, you know,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: have him keep the ball and not be able to
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: find a receiver after he goes through his checkdowns. Like
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: he sometimes will try to force a ball into like
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: five foot nothing Efton Chisholm like he did against the
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: Bears and the next thing you know you've got a
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: streaking defender coming over across the top and picks him
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: off easily like that's something that happens with Drake May
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: but he's been much smarter like he was he wasn't
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: even throwing away the ball early on he'd be under
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: pressure and he would chuck it up to nobody or
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: he would keep it and get sacked and then fumble
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: the ball like there were times that he fumbled the
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: ball and just happened to fall on it himself like
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: and so they weren't recorded as fumbles but I would
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: say over the first couple of games, I think he
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: was credited with like seven interceptions and two fumbles. I
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: think he honestly had three or four fumbles that he
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: just didn't lose. So they didn't show up on the
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: stat sheet. Like there are ways to, like there are
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: ways to frustrate him. But he's so good at just
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: like picking apart defenses. He's actually sometimes I think better
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: under pressure. Like he, there was a play last week
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: where there was a defender bearing down on him from
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: his blind side, from his left side. And he just moved.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: He's like, he could sense the, he could sense the
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: rusher coming and moved a little bit. The rusher fell
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: on top of him. Like I kind of just skimmed
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: his ankles and then he completes a pass. He's just
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: a really athletic, naturally gifted guy. And the one thing
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: he has that why I think May is a better
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: quarterback than Jordan Love is May is also a runner.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: He's also a running quarterback. Jordan Love runs because he
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: has to sometimes, doesn't really like to. Like, for Drake May,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: that's part of his game. They had a design run
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: for him last week. I don't think they're going to
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: be able to do it again because they used it
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: last week against Miami. But, like, they also have shown
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: some warts. Like, Miami's a bad team, and they only
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: put up three points against them in the first half. Like,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: you can't get away with that against the Packers. Like,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: the Packers will take advantage of that.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: It's going to be fun to watch. I think this is, yeah,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: pretty stoked around here. Best game on the card. That's
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: for sure. You mentioned Chisholm.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 6: Now, I don't want to just do the white wide
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 6: receiver thing because that's a little easy. But more than anything,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 6: it seems like the Patriots just breed these kind of
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 6: guys of Welkers and Edelman's. Where do they find this cat?
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 6: Eastern Washington. And he's five.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: I know he was an undrafted, undrafted rookie free agent.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: You know, it's like. He's just like, I don't know
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: if it's like, which is so weird, because honestly, when
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: they draft wide receivers, they're terrible at drafting wide receivers. Like,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: they can't, like, unlike the Packers, who find really good
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: guys in, like, the second, third, fourth round. Like, if
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: the Patriots actually draft someone, they usually end up being, like,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: Kyle Williams has been, like, boomer bust like nikki we
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: always think about like nikhil harry and uh what's the
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: gate what's the cues with a really tall lanky kid
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: who's now.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: Plays with the uh kashon booty but.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: They can't yeah no with the kansas city chiefs.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: Booty was actually taekwon thornton.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: Thornton taekwon thornton thank you taekwon thornton yeah i'm like
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: just a tall drink of water like he couldn't do
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: anything here then he goes to kansas city and he's
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: catching like 60 yard bombs from patrick mahomes So they're
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: just not great at drafting and developing receivers. But there
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: is something about these guys that either they trade for
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: or sort of the overlooked, like the Julian Edelman's of
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: the world who were quarterbacks and then, you know, moved
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: over to wide receiver that just sort of have like
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: this this toughness to them like. Efton Chisholm, like, you guys,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: I think I'm bigger than Efton Chisholm. I've never stood
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: next to him, but my guess is I might look down.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: I might, like, tower over him.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: You might.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: But he's got a toughness. Like, he is not afraid
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: to go over the middle. He's not afraid to go
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: between two defenders and, like, take a hit. And they
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: do do a good job of, like, finding and utilizing
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: those guys. Josh McDaniels has been around the block. He's
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: a really good offensive coordinator.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: He's listed at 5'10.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 7: I don't know if I believe that.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: That's what I said, too.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: 5'10.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: Stilts, maybe. Yeah, right. So, Trent.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: He's probably like.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: 5'7, 5'8.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: Throw some heels on him.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: So, he's a little taller than me. I'm shrinking in
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: my old age.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: Trent, on the way out here, I'm wondering if you're
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 4: going to see a lot of cheesers. Do people contact
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: you coming in for the Packers game? I got a
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: feeling a lot of people blew the travel budget going
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: to Tampa to watch the Bears in the World Series. Oh, yeah.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: But you'll have that. And then how big a story
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: also is Brady being in the booth there? Is that
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: still a big thing or is that old hat by now?
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: It is. To answer your first question, now that you
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: say it, no one has reached out to ask me
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: for recommendations or tell me they're going to be in town,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: which is a little... Because when the Brewers were here
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: this year, I got messages from people that were coming in.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: People like to come see. They played at Fenway this year.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: They like to come in summer, go to Fenway, although
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: this year was April. So I haven't heard that. The
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: Brady thing is interesting. because he's kind of a weirdo,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: and people hear, All right, not kind of. He's a
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: total weirdo, right? He's going through this weird midlife crisis.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: But people here, their butts are pretty chapped because I
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: don't know if you guys remember this, but last year
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: during the Super Bowl, when the Patriots were in the
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl, he's like, I don't have a dog in
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: the fight. And everyone here is like, you don't have
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: a dog in the fight? Are you kidding me? And
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: so we had a whole conversation on my show the
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: other day on Wednesday about whether or not people think
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: he'll get booed. I don't think he'll get booed, but
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: they're putting Gronk in the Patriots Hall of Fame this weekend.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: But like earlier this year, they honored that 2001, like
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: the 25th anniversary of that first Super Bowl winning team.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: And Belichick had nothing to do with it. And Brady
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: had nothing to do with it. And, like, listen, I
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: think Brady was calling a game, like, out in Seattle
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: that week or something. So I don't think anyone expected
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: him to be here. But he didn't even do, like,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: a video recording for it. Wow. So there have been some, like, weird–
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: and now he's, like, a part owner. Like, instead of
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: being a part owner with the Patriots, he's a part
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: owner with the Raiders in Vegas. And so, yeah, there's, like,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: a weird relationship with him out here right now. Like,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think– I think people respect what he did,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: but I don't think he's everybody's favorite out.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: Here right now.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: Weird or him or Belichick?
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, Belichick's always just been a gruff, so
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: I don't think Belichick's all that weird. Brady's, like, weird.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: He does weird stuff to his face. Like, come on, man.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: That's true, yeah. Too slim. Too chiseled right now.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: Just, like, leave it alone. Like, you're a handsome guy.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: Just age gracefully, you weirdo.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Belichick's single now, so it doesn't matter. He's
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: not weird anymore. Oh, my God, right?
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: That's true. He doesn't want to talk about it, though.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: He's not going to take your tabloid question.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: No, he's on to Cincinnati. No tabloid question. He's on
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: to Cincinnati. But he'll post the Instagram when he is dating. Listen, if.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 7: If a guy brought six Lombardis to your stadium and
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 7: you're going to boo him, then it's your problem.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. That's just my opinion.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: Totally.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: You can be salty about it, but he just brought
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 4: six trophies. Come on. Come on now. That's a little ridiculous.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: By the way.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: I don't think he'll get booed, Armin, but I don't
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: think people, I don't think he'll get, like.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: There's main character energy in Boston. Everyone thinks you.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: Should love us. I don't think people have warm and
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: fuzzies about him right now.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 7: And Boston fans think you should love us the way
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 7: we love us. I think that's what they think about
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 7: their athletes.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: That's just my opinion. It is a doubleheader on Sunday
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 4: because the Bucs are hosting the Celtics. 7 o'clock tip
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: at 5. They just played there two nights ago in
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 4: your neck of the woods. It was closer than I
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 4: thought it would be. Closer than we thought. Bucs still
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 4: not great. But they are... In fact, I had to
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 4: turn down tickets to the Bucs game because we got
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 4: this little Packers postgame show to do. Oh, man.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: Tough.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: There will be more tickets. It almost might be better.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: There will be more tickets to be had. Oh, definitely. Definitely.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: It didn't look like it was a hard seat to get.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 4: Nah, not tough. Things have changed. Can't thank you enough, Trent,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: for joining us. We appreciate it. Enjoy your weekend.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 8: Thanks, guys.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: Go Pack Go.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: Championship. We don't think it's going to disappear till like
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: New Year's stopping. Not till pictures and catches report.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: Just tagged you in another post, Drew. I just tagged
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: you in another Instagram post.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Thanks, Trenti.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: Bye, guys. You bet. Milwaukee's little sister, Trenti Casey, joining
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: us here live on the huddle. Fantastic. Did she think
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: that Tony Graffanino, right? Oh, yeah. Tony G. Goodness. Can't
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 4: imagine that they were having a lot of World Series
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 4: dreams back then. That's awesome.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 6: Not a lot.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: Not back in the day.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 7: She was close to the 08 team, but I don't
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 7: think she was working sidelines that year, unless I'm wrong.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: I think she was, yeah. Well, then that was, you know,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: that was successful. I remember her, like, she ran the
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: Milwaukee Marathon and then worked a playoff game the same day.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: That's phenomenal. She started everything.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 4: But you're right, Tony Graffagnino, good pull. Tony Graffagnino.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 6: I saw a Tony Graffagnino jersey at the parade, one
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 6: of the pictures. That's when you know somebody's been there
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 6: for a while.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: You know, I love that. You know what?
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 7: I always said he'll give you a good professional at-bat.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 7: I don't know what's going to happen, but he'll give
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 7: you a professional at-bat. That was all I could say
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 7: about it.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: Fair enough, Armin. Yeah, he's put that on a t-shirt.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 4: I remember him saying that. Yep, that's right. I call
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: Tony Graffagnino having professional A-Bs. You were in middle school, Billy.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: Our buddy Wayne Larive is going to join us an
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: hour from right now to talk more about the Packers.

  Speaker 4: You can reach us at 877-794-1973. That's the NicoletLaw.com talk
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: and text sign. Time for a little Who's Hot, Who's Not.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 4: Top of the Who's Not list is Bruce Chen. Oh,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 4: poor Bruce.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 7: I mean, imagine that pitcher who's actually all you knew
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 7: about him is what?
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: That he had a long big league career. My man
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: has a full baseball reference page. He's had a long career.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 7: What was weird about not weird, but what was unique
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 7: about him was obviously Chan is Chinese, but he was
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 7: a Panamanian baseball player.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: If I remember right. So that was always unique about him.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 4: Latin American.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 6: 11 teams across 17 big league seasons.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 4: He was having a nice retirement.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 8: I'm sure.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 7: Just going alive on a nice day, and then boom,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 7: your whole world just got messed up.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: If you don't know the story, Billy, I'll let you
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 4: read it. Sure, yeah.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 6: Sylvia Sage, who is an adult film actress.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 4: Is that her real name?
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 4: Potentially.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 6: And she was on the Holly Randall unfiltered podcast. Now,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 6: not much of this conversation was filtered. And it fit
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 6: up to the name, as Sage described, potentially having what
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 6: she thought was going to be, or what some player
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 6: thought was going to be, a rendezvous with a former
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 6: first baseman, now turned MLB network analyst, Derek Hosmer, who
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 6: then When things did not go the way towards the
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 6: making of the situation, she was forced out. And then
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 6: young man Bruce Chen was apparently drew there to sweep
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 6: her off her feet, telling her to pick up the pieces.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 6: And as apparently the story goes, you know, a tone
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 6: for how a real man should have treated her, like
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 6: flying her out to many away games, treating her to
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 6: first-class luxury and first-class flights and Month-long relationship, as she said.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 6: He met her family. And at one particular point, about
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 6: eight months into the excursion, her aunt called.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 7: Uh-oh.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 6: And said, Sylvia, I don't know how to say this,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 6: but I just saw on the news that Bruce is
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 6: engaged to someone else. I said, well, that can't be true.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 6: That can't be right.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 4: Let me call him. Calls him up. For eight months,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: I've been dating him. He never mentioned a fiance. And
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 4: what did my man Bruce Chen say? Importantly, why did
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 4: you think you were going to the away games?
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 4: See, and that's what she probably didn't want to do. See,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 4: she wasn't in the adult industry then. She was just
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 4: a promo model in Kansas City when she met Hosmer
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: and Chen. Then she probably realized how the whole import
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 4: thing works, right? It's like, wow, this flying around thing
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 4: is interesting. First class. All the time. But the thing is,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 4: you know, I think.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 7: He probably shouldn't have said that because that always probably
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 7: got her a little salty.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 4: And then she's like, I'm going to wait for my
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 4: moment to get him back. Because if you didn't make
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 4: her mad, maybe she would. Well, who came off worse
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: than this? Bruce Chen or Eric Hosmer, who showed her
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 4: the door and threw her stuff out the door when
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: she wouldn't. Get up out of here. Yeah, she wouldn't
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 4: come across. I was going to say, wouldn't go across
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 4: the line. She wouldn't. Yeah, she did not sleep with him.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: You're going to the penalty box. Yeah, so he threw
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 4: her out. Well, it depends.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 7: I mean, I know Bruce Chen's married. I don't know
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 7: when he was married, but he was engaged at the.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 4: Time. No harm, no foul for Eric. I'm not really sure. Well,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 4: apparently not.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 6: Just one of the funnier runs on the internet last
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 6: night as maybe one of my favorite was, dang, Hosmer
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 6: couldn't even hit back then. Eric Hosmer had a good
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 6: big league career. Silver Slugger in there. I thought he
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 6: was a pretty good baseball player. He married someone on
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 6: Fox Business, I think. Eric Hosmer's wife is on TV
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 6: or was on TV or something. So that was another
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 6: thing I thought about. Man, what a tango we weave.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 6: It's pretty wild, yeah.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, to catch strays on that 25 years after something happened.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, that long? That's the thing. You're going to
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 4: do this to me now? He's not hot. We have
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 4: who's hot, who's not. Brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: Heating and cooling the HVAC experts. It's getting colder. We're
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: dipping below freezing. The heat's going on soon. I don't
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: know when, but soon. Who was not hot? Me last night.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 6: Well, actually hot because I did cave and the heat
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 6: came on in our house last night.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: But I wasn't hot.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 6: Because your boy at that point did not atone for
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 6: the difference in the moisture in the air. Man, I
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 6: woke up thinking that I was in the Sahara Desert.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's dry. I was drier than a fart. So
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: they needed at some point, needed to slow down and
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 4: need a lot of water. And we're going to get
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: the humidifier up rolling because that Donovan Jorgensen heating and
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: cooling system, the heat was rolling in there yesterday. Who's
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: also hot? Stay hydrated. I never heard that. Never heard
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: that one before? No, it's pretty good, though. Who's hot now, Bill?
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: Who's hot?
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 6: Well, there's a couple of guys that could potentially be hot.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 6: I like to frequent in the not category.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 4: Brownie got sent down. He's not. He is not hot.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 6: Who's also not hot would be your boy, Tyler Kolick.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Tyler Kolick.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 6: Who yesterday drew during an NBA 2K League live stream
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 6: that was posted to YouTube. Him and Knicks teammate Deuce
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 6: McBride were asked about the, quote, fakest celebrity fan they've
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 6: seen courtside at an NBA game. A little damage control
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 6: had to be done by the New York Knicks today
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 6: because the question was answered by Kolick.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 4: As at the Knicks game.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 6: I'd say it's very performative because, like, they just want
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 6: to be seen at the game. They're not necessarily fans.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 6: Probably answering the question of the fakest celebrity fan, probably
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 6: Taylor Swift.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 4: Oh it's tight as.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 6: Mcbride acknowledged and agreed colic did say i'm gonna get
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 6: some hate from the swifties but said i guess she's
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 6: got a lot going on so i can't blame her
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 6: for not being able to go there all the.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: Time but it's a little performative.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 7: Tyler keeps it real now whether or not that's true
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 7: is who knows but hey you have to be careful
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 7: because yeah the swifties will come out after him but
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 7: i think he probably understood not only the swifties oh
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 7: my The only his, his own Dolan, his own team spokesperson,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 7: James Dolan said, don't you tick off one of our fans?
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: No quote.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 6: Taylor Swift has been a Knicks fan for many years
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 6: and has a long history with Madison square garden.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 4: And we are very.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 6: Extremely appreciative of her support of the organization.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 7: Isn't her, isn't that she's performing. That's her job though.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 7: She performs like professionally. She's her job is to perform.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 7: So isn't that like, okay, that's sort of what you do.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 7: So I'm not going to sit there and say like, well,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying? I mean, she's a performer.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 7: So maybe it's just in her blood.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know. It could be worse. Right? I mean,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: that's an intro.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 6: I was interested to see how you were going to
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 6: spin this one around as a market.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: She's a performer. I mean, what? That means she has
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 4: to perform. She's not. So she's chasing clout by sitting
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: a courtside at a Knicks game. I thought one of
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: the reasons why you like her, she's just a normal person.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 4: Just acts normal. Like she always is. That's normal for her.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 4: She's been performing since so she's performing when she's at
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 4: arrowhead stadium watching and celebrating travis's touchdowns is that performative
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 4: and i just think that's like it's not fake i
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 4: thought that was all wholesome well i think it's wholesome
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 4: i mean it's wholesome now tyler but she's a performer
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 4: i defend tyler he can he can have any opinion
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: he wants he probably knows what he's talking about well
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: i don't know i mean it Larry David, Seinfeld. Ben Stiller.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 4: They got the OG fans. Spike.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 6: That was Tracy Morgan, Ben Stiller, and Spike Lee were
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 6: the ones that got the shout-outs as the solid, hardcore
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 6: OG ones that are always there.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 4: Chalamet probably deserved a little shout-out. And they've been there
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 4: when the Knicks were really bad. But yeah, I thought
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 4: that was interesting. I wanted to see the blender that
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: I'm going to get tossed into a little bit there.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 4: I figured Tyler would have gotten more out of his
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: Marquette education and realized that that is a PR battle
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 4: you don't want to get into. Because there's no upside
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 4: for ripping Taylor Swift. Well, Tyler's his own man. He's
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: not afraid. He'll stand up to the smoke. He had
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 4: a two-way contract?
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 7: I think he had a guaranteed second-round deal. I don't
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 7: think it's a two-way. No, I think it's guaranteed. Unless
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 7: it's ran out by now, but I don't.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 4: Think it is. He's got a ring, so he's all good.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 7: No, he was one of the highest-paid second-rounders ever. I
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 7: remember that was kind of the storyline for a while.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 7: Although he's been back with Westchester Knicks a lot, so
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 7: I don't know that it's technically a two-way, but he.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 4: Has played with them. By the way, that Knicks celebration
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 4: of their finals victory... is the one party that could
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 4: probably rival Milwaukee's because they were getting after it. Getting
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 4: after it, yes. I mean. We didn't have anyone twerking
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: on a light pole, I don't think. I'll admit that.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: Or stealing garbage cans. Well, you didn't see Water Street.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: Well, maybe you're right. That's a normal weekend on Water Street.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 4: They don't need a brewer's victory to do that. I
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: saw my man climbing the light pole right away and
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 4: getting in there. He climbed it. Brady's become even like
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 4: the round zero. It seems rough, huh? Not nearly the
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 4: excitement that we were trying to bump up about. Who's
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 4: not hot? How about Doc Rivers, Drew?
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is big.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 4: Two and a half hour pod with Bill Simmons.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 6: And I'm not going to listen to listen to it. However,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 6: I listen to some of the highlights. I listen to
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 6: some of the clips. No, we can listen to the cut.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: If you want to listen, if you have that one ready,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 4: you wrote a story about it. I think as Bill
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 4: Simmons and Doc were chopping it up about his last
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 4: job as a coach in the NBA with the Milwaukee Bucks.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 4: and spoke about the challenges of coaching Giannis Atetokounmpo and
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: how it's maybe a little more difficult than people would think.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 4: It's not easy.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 8: It's not easy because he plays at this crazy downhill pace.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 8: He's really a difficult guy. I was telling someone this.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 8: He has this great passing ability. But he doesn't necessarily
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 8: have the super IQ at the same time. It's really
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 8: a strange thing. And he really has one way. Downhill, force, force, force.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 8: Like every play, he wants to force it. And there's
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 8: times where I wish he did one thing. I wish
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 8: he learned how to execute better. He's one of those
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 8: guys that you get a lot of them from the U.S.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: A.U.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 8: Guys that have never needed to execute because they can
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 8: do it on their own. But that doesn't help the team. And, like,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 8: I think, and I told Giannis this, the thing he
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 8: needs to still learn is the value of execution. How
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 8: important it is when you're in practice and in shoot-arounds
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 8: to lock in on execution. And now he has a
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 8: coach who is as good as there is in execution.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 5: Well, it's hard when you've been able to, your athletic
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 5: ability is so dominant.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 4: That that can carry it. Yeah, but that's good for him.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah. And what a lot of players don't know is, yeah,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 8: I don't need that. I can do that. Yeah, you can.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 8: But for the team to work, you have to learn
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 8: how to execute.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 6: And the one time that that style of play worked
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 6: was Chris Middleton was closing out.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 4: Drew Holiday was at the top of the snake.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 4: And they rolled in 2021.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 6: The one that was very interesting, though, Drew, was when
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 6: Doc was talking about Giannis's, as he said, quote, yo-yoing.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 6: I'm not wanting to publicly request a trade last year.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 6: He said Giannis wanted out, but he was a buck,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 6: and he didn't want to be the bad guy. He
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 6: wanted John Horst and Wes Edens, paraphrasing, he wanted them
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 6: and those guys to say, we're trading you instead of
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 6: him saying, I want a trade. To me, that was
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 6: the game that was being played. Well, Doc, I don't
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 6: know that it was just you. I think we all
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 6: saw that game being played, that back and forth, and
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 6: it led to one of the more uncomfortable and frustrating
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 6: years any of us have watched for a team here
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 6: in the state.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 7: I thought it was interesting. Jason kid ran to a
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 7: TV set today to defend Giannis. I don't know if
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 7: you guys saw him and he did really quick understanding
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 7: doc saying that his IQ, I disagree with that. I
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 7: think Giannis understands how to play the game for us
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 7: when it's getting downhills, what it's all about for him.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 7: So when he causes a problem, he's one of the
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 7: top five.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 3: In the league. Yeah.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 7: I don't know. If you throw that low IQ at somebody,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 7: that's pretty disrespectful. You have to be careful when you
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 7: say that.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 4: You're calling a guy stupid at that point. I don't know.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 6: Low basketball IQ and low human IQ are two different things.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I don't think these players look at it differently, Billy.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 4: This is my opinion. No, that's fine.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 6: I'm just telling you there's a difference in there. People
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 6: can take it all different ways. There absolutely is a difference.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 4: There is. 877-794-1973. You are in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
