- 0:50Speaker 4: your respect.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Bill Schmidt. That son of a gun is thick.
- 0:54Speaker 1: And Armin Sarian.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Daddy Sarian.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Welcome to the huddle.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Welcome into the huddle, the Wednesday edition.
- 1:03Speaker 4: Drew, Billy, and Armand bringing it to you from headquarters
- 1:05Speaker 4: 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison, iHeartRadio app, live on Facebook X
- 1:10Speaker 4: and YouTube.
- 1:11Speaker 2: It's a hot take hump day on the program.
- 1:13Speaker 4: We're looking for your hottest of hot takes, bold opinions,
- 1:17Speaker 4: stuff that you got to get off your chest.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Get them in to 877-794-1973.
- 1:25Speaker 6: Drew uh i'll start up with a hot take uh
- 1:27Speaker 6: and as we get rolling into now the midway point
- 1:31Speaker 6: of the nfl season this week the middle nine week
- 1:35Speaker 6: nine in a 18 week schedule uh the packers playing
- 1:38Speaker 6: their ninth game of the year my hot take is
- 1:41Speaker 6: this is gonna be the toughest test for the packers
- 1:44Speaker 6: interior their offensive line potentially yet milton williams is a
- 1:47Speaker 6: real dude up front And him and Christian Barmore were
- 1:50Speaker 6: two of the better, one of the better pass rushing
- 1:53Speaker 6: duos from defensive tackles from a year ago. Gabe Jackus,
- 1:57Speaker 6: this defensive end that they got from Illinois, I really
- 2:00Speaker 6: liked him in the draft. He is as high motor
- 2:03Speaker 6: as they come. And this is going to be one
- 2:06Speaker 6: of the toughest tests for this Packers offensive line. As
- 2:09Speaker 6: rebuilt as it is, and as much as we're still
- 2:13Speaker 6: wondering where a certain....
- 2:15Speaker 2: Wisco Viking is in the rotation.
- 2:18Speaker 6: Drew, this might be one of their toughest tests coming
- 2:20Speaker 6: up here this weekend going up against the New England Patriots.
- 2:24Speaker 2: I like that.
- 2:26Speaker 6: I think there's a possibility, too, for this to be
- 2:29Speaker 6: maybe one of the most entertaining games that we watch
- 2:32Speaker 6: all year long. Drake May and Jordan Love each, I believe,
- 2:37Speaker 6: top three in downfield attempts. and downfield passing, they're going
- 2:42Speaker 6: to be taking a lot of deep shots coming up
- 2:44Speaker 6: in this Tom Brady game.
- 2:46Speaker 4: Given the extra time to prepare, what does Jonathan Gannon
- 2:50Speaker 4: have in store?
- 2:52Speaker 6: You got to be, it's tough because you would think
- 2:54Speaker 6: you got to be moving Drake May as much off
- 2:56Speaker 6: his spot as possible, Drew.
- 2:59Speaker 2: But my man can run. He likes to run.
- 3:01Speaker 6: He likes to run, and he takes advantage of teams
- 3:05Speaker 6: running the football. So I think there's got to be
- 3:08Speaker 6: a concerted effort of, yeah, you want to be able
- 3:11Speaker 6: to pressure him and confuse him as much as you can.
- 3:15Speaker 6: Up the middle has been where his bugaboo is. So
- 3:18Speaker 6: maybe this is Tyron Hopper. Maybe a little denied Dennis
- 3:20Speaker 6: Sutton up the middle as well on some pass rush situations.
- 3:23Speaker 6: But this is not going to be the easiest play.
- 3:27Speaker 6: place to generate a ton because uh Drake will will
- 3:30Speaker 6: make you pay with his legs and just moving the
- 3:33Speaker 6: ball outside of it how about the two best teams
- 3:36Speaker 6: uh of a generation the Patriots and Packers own the
- 3:40Speaker 6: best and second best win percentages in the NFL in
- 3:44Speaker 6: the last two decades since 2007 with Green Bay also
- 3:48Speaker 6: ranking first in the NFC amongst that span uh Patriots
- 3:51Speaker 6: a 675 winning percentage The Packers in the last 20 years,
- 3:55Speaker 6: a 636 winning percentage.
- 3:57Speaker 5: Pretty impressive, the picture of consistency, although I know Packers
- 4:01Speaker 5: fans will say, well, they have the Lombardis, and we don't.
- 4:04Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean, those are two franchises that have
- 4:06Speaker 5: done it well.
- 4:07Speaker 2: And done it for a long time.
- 4:08Speaker 6: And they've split the franchises only four matchups over that
- 4:13Speaker 6: 20-year span, two and two with the home team winning
- 4:17Speaker 6: every matchup.
- 4:18Speaker 5: Yeah, because you had, obviously, you talked about the Connelly game.
- 4:21Speaker 5: That was Matt Flynn's start. And then the Packers won
- 4:23Speaker 5: it and won in 14. So pretty good stuff there.
- 4:27Speaker 5: And I saw Nicole Mentor, who was from NBC 10 in,
- 4:31Speaker 5: I think, Rhode Island.
- 4:32Speaker 2: And formerly was a Green Bay reporter.
- 4:34Speaker 1: She was.
- 4:34Speaker 5: I remember Nicole. Drake Mays practicing with the tape up
- 4:38Speaker 5: left pinky. So not as he's a right-handed quarterback. Not
- 4:42Speaker 5: as throwing hand, obviously. Yeah, but it's just something. Just
- 4:45Speaker 5: something there, a tidbit for you.
- 4:46Speaker 2: I like that. You're trying to manifest a little something there. Yeah,
- 4:49Speaker 2: maybe he'll be, you know, off his mark a little bit.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Don't know.
- 4:52Speaker 5: But, yeah, this is kind of, you know, it's a
- 4:54Speaker 5: sneaky big game. The Packers can find a way to
- 4:56Speaker 5: get a win here.
- 4:57Speaker 2: I think it'd be big.
- 4:58Speaker 5: You know, a lot of attention on everybody else in
- 5:00Speaker 5: the NFC North, I feel like, right now, especially the Bears.
- 5:03Speaker 5: A lot of excitement surrounding them. Yeah, but, you know,
- 5:07Speaker 5: like you said, Billy, a big test for those guys
- 5:09Speaker 5: up front. But maybe this is the time that you
- 5:12Speaker 5: come up with your best performance. And the biggest test
- 5:14Speaker 5: is the one you pass. So we'd like to see it.
- 5:16Speaker 6: In wanting to limit Drake May out of the pocket, Drew,
- 5:20Speaker 6: from next-gen stats, Drake May has scrambled 26 times.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Scrambled to run. Scrambled to run. Not scrambled to pass.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Scrambled to run.
- 5:28Speaker 6: 26 times this season. Ties him with Deshaun Watson for
- 5:32Speaker 6: most in the NFL, in which he's gained 193 yards
- 5:35Speaker 6: and a league-high 13 first downs.
- 5:36Speaker 5: Ooh.
- 5:41Speaker 6: In those 26 scramble rush attempts, including one first down.
- 5:47Speaker 6: Or including one touchdown, pardon me. 13 first downs, one touchdown,
- 5:50Speaker 6: most in the NFL. Dude's dangerous when he gets up
- 5:53Speaker 6: out of the pocket. That's half the time he escapes
- 5:57Speaker 6: that rush. He's going to make you pay and get
- 5:59Speaker 6: a fresh set of downs. Those are the backbreakers to
- 6:02Speaker 6: be able to watch out for coming up this weekend.
- 6:04Speaker 2: It's hard to say that anybody.
- 6:07Speaker 4: you know, truly scares you with the Packers defense because
- 6:10Speaker 4: they've been so good without Cooper and without Micah Parsons.
- 6:13Speaker 4: And we keep on, you're salivating because you want that
- 6:16Speaker 4: early Christmas present to open. I can't wait to get
- 6:19Speaker 4: Micah Parsons back.
- 6:20Speaker 2: It's been too long.
- 6:21Speaker 4: As Wayne has warned us, you get a guy back.
- 6:24Speaker 4: When's he back? Takes him a couple of weeks of
- 6:27Speaker 4: playing to get back back. He's back on the field,
- 6:30Speaker 4: but is he back to being the, you know, the
- 6:33Speaker 4: terror that he is when he's at the peak of
- 6:35Speaker 4: his powers? That might take a while. Is he on
- 6:38Speaker 4: a pitch count to start? What does it look like?
- 6:40Speaker 4: What does the defense look like? How does it change
- 6:42Speaker 4: everything else?
- 6:43Speaker 6: Well, and Jonathan Gannon kind of alluded to it right
- 6:45Speaker 6: where he's like where he was asked. How how much
- 6:49Speaker 6: have you how much time have you spent game planning
- 6:51Speaker 6: or thinking of how you're going to call this defense?
- 6:53Speaker 6: How much have you done that? Thinking about when Mike
- 6:55Speaker 6: Parsons returns, what.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Do you say? Every day.
- 6:58Speaker 6: Every day. So there's definitely some tweaks that you're going
- 7:02Speaker 6: to see, right? Like you're going to see a little
- 7:04Speaker 6: bit of difference. You saw with Chicago a couple of
- 7:06Speaker 6: nights ago. They sure as heck didn't have to blitz
- 7:09Speaker 6: as much with Jeffrey Simmons on the field. So if
- 7:12Speaker 6: you don't have to bring six every time you walk
- 7:15Speaker 6: everybody up to the line when you know Parsons is
- 7:17Speaker 6: going to be able to get home, maybe it changes
- 7:19Speaker 6: up a little bit of it. I do think, Drew,
- 7:21Speaker 6: there's going to be a little bit of. I mean,
- 7:24Speaker 6: this gives you, if he does debut against L.A. on
- 7:28Speaker 6: the Thanksgiving Eve, that gives you a month before you
- 7:31Speaker 6: take on Chicago on Christmas Day. where you're not going
- 7:35Speaker 6: to be 100% the best version of yourself in a month.
- 7:39Speaker 6: But I think at that point, you should start believing
- 7:41Speaker 6: that he could be back to somewhat close to his
- 7:44Speaker 6: Pro Bowl level, right? Is that a fair assumption? Or
- 7:47Speaker 6: do you think it's mostly 2028 when you start thinking
- 7:50Speaker 6: that guy ends up or 2027 when that guy fully
- 7:53Speaker 6: becomes himself? I had early circle question. I had kind
- 7:56Speaker 6: of early circle drew this to be the week that
- 7:59Speaker 6: he maybe came back. And people pushed back and said,
- 8:02Speaker 6: that's that's far too long. There's there's no way he's
- 8:04Speaker 6: waiting until week eight or week nine or week 10
- 8:08Speaker 6: for it to end up being even later. I'm even surprised.
- 8:12Speaker 6: It's a really impressive work of how cautious they are
- 8:14Speaker 6: with injury.
- 8:15Speaker 5: Well, he cautious. And I think you hope that taking
- 8:18Speaker 5: longer is that kind of ramp up. I don't know
- 8:20Speaker 5: if it is because it's not a game situation. So
- 8:22Speaker 5: it's not game speed.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Right.
- 8:23Speaker 5: But you kind of hope that like, all right, well,
- 8:26Speaker 5: Maybe he'll be closer to a finished product because they
- 8:28Speaker 5: waited longer.
- 8:29Speaker 2: I'm not really sure.
- 8:29Speaker 5: But I guess, you know, and Wes Hod talks about
- 8:32Speaker 5: it a lot. Weston talks about it all the time
- 8:34Speaker 5: on Packers.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Preview, and it's true.
- 8:37Speaker 5: You need that guy for the latter part of the year,
- 8:41Speaker 5: most importantly. So being careful with him is maybe a
- 8:43Speaker 5: good thing and all that. Hey, guys, it's a Fox game, too,
- 8:46Speaker 5: America's Game of the Week. So Tom Brady makes his
- 8:49Speaker 5: return to Gillette.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Is that true? Yeah, that's big. Yeah, he talks about
- 8:52Speaker 2: it on the program. Kind of a storyline, yeah.
- 8:55Speaker 6: Mike Vrabel talked about it as well today. He was asked,
- 8:59Speaker 6: do you think that you're going to catch up at
- 9:01Speaker 6: any point this week with Tom Brady? Mike Vrabel said, quote,
- 9:07Speaker 6: I'm required contractually to catch up with him at some point.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Wow.
- 9:13Speaker 6: I'm sure it'll be a Zoom. I'm sure they won't
- 9:15Speaker 6: show up here. I'm sure it'll be on Zoom. So contractually,
- 9:18Speaker 6: I'll be talking to him. I'm sure I'll see him
- 9:20Speaker 6: at Gronk's induction thing on Saturday night. But yeah, I'm
- 9:23Speaker 6: required to.
- 9:24Speaker 2: I don't know if he said it with a chuckle
- 9:25Speaker 2: or was it kind of icy? I think it's a
- 9:27Speaker 2: little bit icy. I think it's a little frustrating.
- 9:29Speaker 6: I think there's also some Patriot fans that kind of
- 9:32Speaker 6: like that energy because there's some Patriot fans that are
- 9:35Speaker 6: definitely chapped, and I don't totally discredit it for when
- 9:41Speaker 6: Tom Brady last year there in the Super Bowl says,
- 9:44Speaker 6: I don't have a dog in the fight.
- 9:46Speaker 2: That bothers fans a lot.
- 9:47Speaker 6: That really bothered some Patriots fans, and they're enjoying the
- 9:51Speaker 6: fact that their coach maybe had some of the same energy.
- 9:53Speaker 5: I think Tom's saying it because he's a professional for
- 9:56Speaker 5: professional reasons, and maybe he truly doesn't have a dog
- 9:58Speaker 5: in the fight.
- 9:59Speaker 2: It's hard. to say. I know that bothers fans. I
- 10:03Speaker 2: know it does. They want to.
- 10:04Speaker 5: Believe that their greatest players care as much as them
- 10:07Speaker 5: about being a fan of that team.
- 10:09Speaker 6: And I don't think that's usually the case. That's always
- 10:12Speaker 6: a disconnect. He didn't call the Super Bowl last year.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Yeah, sure.
- 10:17Speaker 6: I mean.
- 10:18Speaker 2: I say you didn't have a dog in the fight.
- 10:19Speaker 2: I'm not there. You could very much throw a, yeah,
- 10:22Speaker 2: of course.
- 10:22Speaker 5: I'm sure. Well, I just think like, maybe he's worried
- 10:24Speaker 5: about like, you know, showing favoritism in general, but you're right. He,
- 10:28Speaker 5: it's not hard for him to say like, you know,
- 10:30Speaker 5: I'm always a Patriot, you know, something like that. Right.
- 10:33Speaker 2: I mean, like, that's one thing you can always say frostiness. Yeah. Frosty. Well, good.
- 10:37Speaker 2: I liked it. A little frosty.
- 10:39Speaker 4: Um, how'd I come to eight, seven, seven, seven, nine, four,
- 10:42Speaker 4: one 97, three. If you would like to react to
- 10:44Speaker 4: the Milwaukee chapter of the baseball writers association of America, uh,
- 10:48Speaker 4: issuing its awards today to five different brewers.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Most valuable player? Who you got? William Contreras? Armin, who
- 10:57Speaker 2: you got? I'll say Bryce. Bryce Terang. Second straight season.
- 11:00Speaker 2: 21 homers, 100 RBI, 19.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Steals, 151 games.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Gold glove defense. Ranked among National League leaders in doubles.
- 11:04Speaker 2: 37 tied for second. Run scored, 102 tied for third.
- 11:18Speaker 4: Sixth in RBI at 100. Seventh in walks with 90.
- 11:22Speaker 6: We should have somehow found a way to fudge that number.
- 11:25Speaker 6: Should have Armin Sarian didn't found one more steal for
- 11:27Speaker 6: him to be able to get to the round number
- 11:28Speaker 6: of 20 during the regular season. I know he had
- 11:30Speaker 6: some important ones in the postseason that probably made up
- 11:33Speaker 6: for it.
- 11:33Speaker 2: He missed. So he plays 151 games. He missed what.
- 11:37Speaker 6: The full week almost, if not more in that August run.
- 11:41Speaker 6: Damier played every single day. That's a hard one for
- 11:44Speaker 6: anybody to To argue with, especially when you get 37 doubles.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Yep. 37 doubles. I would never have guessed he had
- 11:54Speaker 2: that many.
- 11:54Speaker 4: 268 average, 21 homers, and 37 doubles.
- 11:57Speaker 5: That really helps the OPS, which obviously helps all of
- 12:00Speaker 5: the rest of the numbers. The thing about it, too,
- 12:02Speaker 5: is I think we're getting to a point, well, maybe not,
- 12:05Speaker 5: but we might be getting to a point where it
- 12:07Speaker 5: was like this with Giannis, where he did things so
- 12:09Speaker 5: remarkable every day that it became ordinary. And I think
- 12:12Speaker 5: with his defense, we're almost getting to that point. Like
- 12:14Speaker 5: Bryce's defense is so good and so rangy and so consistent.
- 12:17Speaker 5: And so it just so.
- 12:20Speaker 2: High value that I think we're used to him just
- 12:22Speaker 2: making all those plays. And these are tough plays he's
- 12:24Speaker 2: been making. So it's he makes tough plays look easy. Exactly.
- 12:28Speaker 5: I think we're getting to that point with him, too.
- 12:30Speaker 5: I mean, you just can't underestimate the defensive value he brings.
- 12:32Speaker 4: So Terang was the MVP, the most valuable pitcher. That's
- 12:37Speaker 4: an easy one.
- 12:38Speaker 2: That was unanimous. That's obvious. Yeah, that was Miz.
- 12:41Speaker 4: 16-5, 1.80 ERA, 30 starts. Going to win the Cy Young.
- 12:46Speaker 4: And that one's going to be unanimous too, right? I mean,
- 12:49Speaker 4: is there anybody that's going to throw Chris Sale in?
- 12:51Speaker 4: Very likely. Maybe a guy from Philly. Maybe votes for
- 12:54Speaker 4: this guy, but no.
- 12:55Speaker 2: That'd be a tough vote to defend. It's going to
- 12:58Speaker 2: be a miss. The newcomer, top newcomer.
- 13:01Speaker 4: This was interesting because it was much like the regular
- 13:06Speaker 4: BBWA awards. We talked about it internally, and this was
- 13:10Speaker 4: a regular season award and top newcomer does not necessarily
- 13:15Speaker 4: mean rookie but the guy who's new to the team oh.
- 13:18Speaker 6: New to the team okay so that could have been
- 13:20Speaker 6: a lot of opens it up yeah so who do
- 13:23Speaker 6: you think would be your choice new to the team
- 13:27Speaker 6: i mean harrison's first half was spectacular that was where
- 13:30Speaker 6: my head went to but i would just the the
- 13:32Speaker 6: back half of the year might discredit him david hamilton's
- 13:36Speaker 6: a tough one but then again regular season award he
- 13:39Speaker 6: wasn't nearly as valuable in the postseason.
- 13:40Speaker 7: I thought about hamilton too yeah yeah he was but
- 13:43Speaker 7: you're right it's not hamilton but it's got to be
- 13:46Speaker 7: one of the rookies got to be one of the
- 13:47Speaker 7: rookies yep cooper pratt cooper pratt okay louise laura with
- 13:51Speaker 7: the showtime in the regular season would have had.
- 13:53Speaker 4: Been 281 three homers 34 rbi 74 games cooper pratt played.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't know how... Took over shortstop and
- 14:01Speaker 2: didn't give it back. Lance McCullers got robbed on that one. Hey,
- 14:03Speaker 2: there you go. I mean, he just got robbed. How about.
- 14:06Speaker 4: Cooper Pratt is the top newcomer. I thought Hamilton had
- 14:10Speaker 4: a case because he won some games for him in
- 14:11Speaker 4: the regular season.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Oh, big time.
- 14:14Speaker 6: He played a lot more, Drew, than I definitely anticipated
- 14:17Speaker 6: he would. I mean, I know Murph mentioned it earlier
- 14:19Speaker 6: in the year.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Didn't he start opening day?
- 14:20Speaker 6: Started opening day, and I thought he was going to
- 14:23Speaker 6: be a utility guy instead.
- 14:26Speaker 2: He was a full... Firm platoon, and he earned every
- 14:29Speaker 2: bit of it.
- 14:30Speaker 4: Then the unsung hero of the 2026 Brewers, according to, again,
- 14:34Speaker 4: regular season.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Who you got?
- 14:36Speaker 5: All right, this is so subjective, right? Because the unsung
- 14:38Speaker 5: hero can be a lot of things. That one's got
- 14:40Speaker 5: to be Kyle Harrison. This is the one that's got
- 14:41Speaker 5: the most. I mean, that might be. I would think
- 14:44Speaker 5: one of the bullpen guys. I always like, you know,
- 14:47Speaker 5: didn't Bryce Wilson win this award once?
- 14:49Speaker 2: Probably. I think he did.
- 14:50Speaker 5: You know, I'd say Ashby if I had to pick one.
- 14:54Speaker 2: That's a fair one. You know, if I had to pick.
- 14:56Speaker 2: But he was sung a lot. It wasn't like he was.
- 14:59Speaker 6: On a tune that they say quite a bit.
- 15:01Speaker 2: I don't think it's Braden Shoemake. So I don't know.
- 15:06Speaker 2: Maybe Ortiz. It wasn't Lockridge. No, definitely not. Not Ortiz.
- 15:09Speaker 2: I think you're right on the bullpen. It was Abner Uribe.
- 15:12Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Okay. Talk about somebody they called on a lot. Pitch
- 15:16Speaker 2: 61 games. ERA under two. And kind of took a
- 15:20Speaker 2: different role.
- 15:20Speaker 5: I mean, remember, he was basically a second closer last
- 15:23Speaker 5: year and most of the year this year. And then
- 15:24Speaker 5: he pitched a lot of fifth and sixth innings in
- 15:26Speaker 5: the playoffs. And I know this is not a playoff award,
- 15:28Speaker 5: but a guy that didn't complain. I mean, some people
- 15:31Speaker 5: might say, hey, wait a minute. I'm higher leverage than fifth,
- 15:33Speaker 5: sixth inning. But he took that and put that in
- 15:35Speaker 5: the backseat. No problems.
- 15:38Speaker 2: And then the last award was, again, subjective, and it's rough.
- 15:41Speaker 2: The Good Guy Award. Oh, that's yellow. Cap. Yeah, they
- 15:45Speaker 2: gave that to Yelich. You could give it to anybody.
- 15:48Speaker 4: He won it in 23. He won it in 25.
- 15:50Speaker 4: You could give it to Woodruff. You could give it
- 15:52Speaker 4: to Freelix. This is a team of good guys. They
- 15:53Speaker 4: got a lot of good guys on this team. Good
- 15:55Speaker 4: guys to talk to. But Yelich was the winner.
- 15:57Speaker 2: Well, and I'll tell you.
- 15:58Speaker 6: The guy that we started that conversation with, Bryce Durang,
- 16:01Speaker 6: I would not have anticipated his first year that I
- 16:04Speaker 6: would have been making a case for him. His answers
- 16:07Speaker 6: going from sentences and a couple of words to paragraphs
- 16:10Speaker 6: has been very impressive for Bryce Durang.
- 16:13Speaker 2: That's a great point. to snl i mean like i
- 16:16Speaker 2: mean from going.
- 16:17Speaker 6: From one of the dudes that you desperately didn't want
- 16:20Speaker 6: to play the audio to to like oh this is
- 16:22Speaker 6: going to be an intuitive and a well thought out
- 16:25Speaker 6: answer yeah i'm happy for it i like that uh
- 16:27Speaker 6: but yelich is a tough one to pass up i
- 16:29Speaker 6: imagine like you said drew they could have given that
- 16:31Speaker 6: to a number of.
- 16:32Speaker 4: Different guys interestingly the we started handing out these awards
- 16:35Speaker 4: in 22 and the mvps uh so far have been
- 16:38Speaker 4: adamus Contreras, Contreras, Terang, and Terang.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Terang, okay.
- 16:43Speaker 4: Not a lot of diversity at the top there.
- 16:45Speaker 2: I think those guys are really, this is local BBWA, right? True.
- 16:49Speaker 5: They're smart guys on that beat. They're looking at war.
- 16:52Speaker 5: I think that's what that is, you know. They're smart guys.
- 16:55Speaker 6: Well, and I think the, you know, as I'm looking
- 16:58Speaker 6: at more of it for Bryce, the way he came on,
- 17:02Speaker 6: and you look at how everybody closed the year. Yeah,
- 17:05Speaker 6: everybody looks great and closes out well when you win
- 17:07Speaker 6: 11 of the last 13 games. But his month of September,
- 17:11Speaker 6: after kind of being the mayor of Slum City for
- 17:13Speaker 6: the month of August.
- 17:14Speaker 2: No doubt.
- 17:15Speaker 6: He hit a buck 75 in August and an OPS
- 17:18Speaker 6: of 513. Followed it up in September by hitting 361
- 17:24Speaker 6: slugging 602, hitting four homers and eight doubles.
- 17:28Speaker 2: That is a crazy.
- 17:29Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 17:29Speaker 2: And walking 17 times. Full 180 there. So, yeah, it
- 17:32Speaker 2: was a big, big run at the end.
- 17:34Speaker 6: That's an amazing, amazing close for a hell of a
- 17:37Speaker 6: season that he ended up having. It's time for a
- 17:40Speaker 6: little Who's Hot, Who's Not brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen.
- 17:42Speaker 6: Heating and cooling the HVAC experts. Still kind of balmy outside.
- 17:47Speaker 2: No heat yet. It was very nice this morning. I
- 17:49Speaker 2: was happy with that. November, the heat's not on. It's
- 17:51Speaker 2: Daily Olsen Manor. I dig it. I was a fan
- 17:53Speaker 2: of that. Who's Hot?
- 17:54Speaker 6: Jacoby Brissett getting traded from the Arizona Cardinals to the
- 17:57Speaker 6: Baltimore Ravens. Goes from the outhouse to the penthouse. Not
- 18:00Speaker 6: calling the Arizona Cardinals the outhouse. Michael Bidwell. Nobody said
- 18:04Speaker 6: that about your organization. Well, he became the third string
- 18:08Speaker 6: quarterback when he got benched this weekend. Gardner Minshew went in,
- 18:12Speaker 6: won the game in Dallas. He gets benched, goes down
- 18:14Speaker 6: to the third string emergency man. He will now be
- 18:17Speaker 6: most likely, presumably the starter for the Ravens after this week.
- 18:20Speaker 2: They play Thursday night football. How about this?
- 18:22Speaker 6: Also, who's hot, Drew? And people do not understand this.
- 18:27Speaker 6: All the work that Armin Sarian does behind the scenes here.
- 18:29Speaker 2: I don't do that much. Gave us this paper-popping stat
- 18:32Speaker 2: here at the bottom.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Of the list.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Oh, I love this one.
- 18:34Speaker 6: This was crazy. Who's hot? The Winnipeg Jets. This was crazy.
- 18:39Speaker 6: To record one of the most unlikely comebacks in sports
- 18:42Speaker 6: history over the Montreal Canadiens last night as.
- 18:46Speaker 2: They were down.
- 18:47Speaker 6: 4-0 with 240 to go?
- 18:51Speaker 5: No, we've all watched hockey, okay? The amount of skate time,
- 18:54Speaker 5: I mean, that is the most unbelievable thing I've ever...
- 18:57Speaker 5: They came back from a four-goal deficit with 240 to go.
- 19:00Speaker 6: So they were tied 4-0, then tied it up in regulation,
- 19:05Speaker 6: and then won it in overtime.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Won it in overtime.
- 19:07Speaker 5: I mean, that is the most unbelievable comeback you might
- 19:10Speaker 5: ever see in sports.
- 19:12Speaker 2: And I'm looking... You know, they had the win probability charts.
- 19:15Speaker 2: That should be 100.
- 19:18Speaker 5: I mean, you don't have 100 in win probability, but
- 19:20Speaker 5: that should be 100. Just absolutely mind-boggling. And what was
- 19:26Speaker 5: the stat, Billy? I know it's down there, right? Of
- 19:28Speaker 5: teams that were up four goals with less than two
- 19:31Speaker 5: or three to go.
- 19:33Speaker 2: It's in the thousands. Teams were 0 and 9,652.
- 19:41Speaker 6: Teams are now 1-9,652.
- 19:41Speaker 2: Thanks to the Winnipeg Jets. How you could let that happen?
- 19:50Speaker 2: I just can't really fathom, but it's also on the road.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
- 19:55Speaker 6: So they were in the bell center in Montreal. The
- 19:59Speaker 6: Habs are going crazy. Celebrate like no other. Everybody's in
- 20:03Speaker 6: a Jersey drew. Everybody's getting ready to go slam the
- 20:06Speaker 6: bat blues and then go home. And instead, the Jets
- 20:10Speaker 6: are just like, hold this bear. Hold this bear. Hold
- 20:12Speaker 6: this bear. Oh, by the way, could you hold this one?
- 20:15Speaker 6: Kyle Conner with two of them in the final minute.
- 20:18Speaker 6: The third one was the minute.
- 20:19Speaker 5: So they were up two to go with a minute
- 20:22Speaker 5: to go. They score at 19. So you know how
- 20:25Speaker 5: the hockey time goes. So a minute to go, it's 4-3.
- 20:27Speaker 5: And they scored 33 seconds later. I just.
- 20:32Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 20:33Speaker 5: There's no explanation for something like that. I don't know
- 20:36Speaker 5: how you can watch that slip away and how you
- 20:38Speaker 5: can let that happen.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Just clear the puck. I mean, that's a power play.
- 20:42Speaker 2: That's two minutes. Just clear the puck. Just clear it.
- 20:45Speaker 2: We got to talk to Greeny about that a little
- 20:47Speaker 2: bit later.
- 20:47Speaker 5: No, I don't care who it is. I should be
- 20:49Speaker 5: able to hold a four goal lead with two and
- 20:51Speaker 5: a half to go.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Me and you and anybody else. I can't even skate
- 20:54Speaker 2: that well, Billy. I barely can stay up. I mean,
- 20:56Speaker 2: I can kind of skate. Just get in front of the.
- 20:59Speaker 2: I just. That is amazing. You watch the highlights and
- 21:02Speaker 2: you're like, what were they doing? Just sleep.
- 21:04Speaker 5: Well, you can't see your sleepwalking because once it's for two.
- 21:08Speaker 5: But hey, I mean, some wild ones happen. It's just
- 21:10Speaker 5: four goals and two and a half.
- 21:11Speaker 2: That was a great catch on the pause button, Drew.
- 21:13Speaker 2: Who's hot? Who's not? Who's hot?
- 21:17Speaker 6: Actually, who's not? Christoph Porzingis, not hot. Not at all.
- 21:22Speaker 2: He is not getting paid.
- 21:23Speaker 6: Gold State Warriors are not delivering his semi-monthly payments.
- 21:29Speaker 2: On his $ 20.
- 21:29Speaker 6: Million salary ruling that the currently is absent and not
- 21:34Speaker 6: rendering his services. GM Mike Dunleavy, former buck in the
- 21:38Speaker 6: front office are still actively pursuing trade avenues. A couple
- 21:41Speaker 6: of those doors have been slammed shut.
- 21:43Speaker 2: What's that?
- 21:44Speaker 5: Milwaukee bucks as well here. That's like almost a million
- 21:46Speaker 5: per check. If you think about it, if it's biweekly
- 21:49Speaker 5: and you get 20 of them, you get 26 a year.
- 21:51Speaker 5: So it's like, imagine expecting a 900 and fit while
- 21:54Speaker 5: I guess taxes. Imagine you expect that to hit the,
- 21:57Speaker 5: hit the app. Those type of numbers in it don't like, hey,
- 21:59Speaker 5: what's going on?
- 22:00Speaker 2: No one's paying me.
- 22:01Speaker 6: Well, you're not playing, buddy. As the story continues, people
- 22:04Speaker 6: are like, does this happen often? Well, under different circumstances
- 22:09Speaker 6: last year, the Miami Heat did withhold payments from Terry
- 22:12Speaker 6: Rozier while he was under federal investigation on a gambling scandal.
- 22:16Speaker 2: That's got to happen. They were holding that thing off.
- 22:19Speaker 2: He did sign a.
- 22:20Speaker 6: Two-year, $ 40 million contract extension, only three of which was guaranteed, though,
- 22:25Speaker 6: for the second season. Very fascinating story. Very much not hot.
- 22:30Speaker 6: Kristaps Porzingis, who's also not hot. Sam Darnold ruled out
- 22:35Speaker 6: for Sunday. Week to week, he cracked a rib. Also
- 22:38Speaker 6: has a toe injury.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Who's hot?
- 22:40Speaker 6: Joe Milton, going to be the new starter for the
- 22:42Speaker 6: struggling Philadelphia Eagles. And the final one, Drew... I mean,
- 22:47Speaker 6: I don't know if this is hot or not. Brandon
- 22:50Speaker 6: Iuke has filed his reinstatement. He plans to show up
- 22:53Speaker 6: to San Francisco 49ers facility on Friday.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Who plays first, him or Chris Dobbs? I think Dajon
- 23:00Speaker 2: Love might. Oh, baby.
- 23:03Speaker 6: Kyle Shanahan was asked what his expectation is. He goes,
- 23:06Speaker 6: I have no expectations. I punted on those a long
- 23:10Speaker 6: time ago. I have not thought about this one for
- 23:12Speaker 6: a long time. So Brandon Ayuk, he might be hot.
- 23:15Speaker 6: He also might have forgotten how to play football in
- 23:17Speaker 6: the last 13 months. But you know what they don't
- 23:19Speaker 6: forget to do is great HVAC work. Donovan Jorgensen, donovanjorgensen.com.
- 23:24Speaker 6: Four locations to be able to serve you. West Dallas,
- 23:27Speaker 6: Menominee Falls, New Berlin, McGuanago. Go check them out. They're
- 23:31Speaker 6: all over the place because they are the largest employee-owned
- 23:34Speaker 6: HVAC company, Drew, in the state of Wisconsin.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Well done.
- 23:37Speaker 4: Well done. Be right back. You're in the huddle. Fox
- 23:40Speaker 4: Sports Radio. Drew Billion-Armond with you on this Wednesday in
- 23:45Speaker 4: the good land. Looking for your hot takes. 877-794-1973 gets
- 23:51Speaker 4: you into the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line. Marcus said,
- 23:55Speaker 4: hot take. No roughing the passer calls in New England.
- 23:57Speaker 4: Jordan Love doesn't finish the game. Look alive, Tyrod Taylor.
- 24:01Speaker 5: I did wonder after the Monday night game because I
- 24:03Speaker 5: thought there was a lot that didn't go called. Are
- 24:05Speaker 5: they going to start to, you know, kind of reverse
- 24:06Speaker 5: course on this as a league?
- 24:08Speaker 6: Well, especially after all those refs see that video of
- 24:11Speaker 6: their Halloween costumes.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Oh, man.
- 24:13Speaker 2: You think you're getting a favorable call, son?
- 24:15Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 24:15Speaker 2: Good one.
- 24:16Speaker 5: No, we're going to start picking on you again now.
- 24:18Speaker 5: We're going to make it personal again. We're going to
- 24:19Speaker 5: show this guy what it is.
- 24:20Speaker 2: Because it's been that. It seems like a little bit
- 24:23Speaker 2: against the Packers this year, but. I'm not really sure.
- 24:26Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 24:27Speaker 6: The Patriots, I'm telling you, man, they get after the quarterback.
- 24:31Speaker 2: They definitely can with Milton Williams.
- 24:34Speaker 6: They brought in for a reason, and he came off
- 24:37Speaker 6: of a Super Bowl MVP or a Super Bowl-esque run
- 24:41Speaker 6: with the Philadelphia Eagles, and he was a stud in
- 24:44Speaker 6: that game and in that run to the Super Bowl.
- 24:48Speaker 6: He cashed in big time, and he led them the
- 24:51Speaker 6: same way last year. But this Jackis kid, Drew, you're
- 24:53Speaker 6: going to watch him I mean, he just flies around
- 24:56Speaker 6: the edge. He is as nonstop and frustrating and pesky
- 25:01Speaker 6: as any pass rusher. The good thing is no Romeo Dobbs.
- 25:05Speaker 6: I don't think they're going to have, I don't know
- 25:07Speaker 6: if they're going to have AJ Brown coming up in
- 25:08Speaker 6: this game. They did not have him last week. And
- 25:11Speaker 6: also Hunter Henry checked out of last week's game late
- 25:14Speaker 6: for the Patriots. So we'll see when the injury report
- 25:16Speaker 6: comes out there from Foxborough coming up in a little while.
- 25:19Speaker 4: Here's a hot take pertaining to this Sunday's affair in Foxborough.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Let me hear it.
- 25:24Speaker 4: The Packers made the right choice handing the GM keys
- 25:27Speaker 4: to Brian Gutekunst over Elliot Wolfe.
- 25:30Speaker 2: That's a hot take, but I kind of like it.
- 25:35Speaker 2: And I like Elliot Wolfe. He's obviously got a team
- 25:38Speaker 2: to a Super Bowl.
- 25:40Speaker 4: But there's just something about, I don't know, man, just
- 25:42Speaker 4: being where you grew up and stuff. There's something about
- 25:45Speaker 4: moving on. He spent a time in Cleveland before he
- 25:47Speaker 4: got to New England, right? There's something about spreading your
- 25:50Speaker 4: wings and being in other places and not just where
- 25:53Speaker 4: you you grew up.
- 25:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a very, very well-taken spot.
- 25:58Speaker 6: Yes.
- 25:59Speaker 2: And they're similar.
- 26:01Speaker 4: Our boy Riggs is number one on the get Goody
- 26:06Speaker 4: out of town.
- 26:08Speaker 6: There's always going to be the ones that are going
- 26:10Speaker 6: to be frustrated about the misses. But your point, Does
- 26:13Speaker 6: Evan Williams as a fourth round pick make up for
- 26:16Speaker 6: what you maybe missed on in a first rounder? If
- 26:18Speaker 6: you get an all pro like that, wherever he comes in.
- 26:20Speaker 2: I always say that. Yeah.
- 26:21Speaker 4: I look at the draft as a whole and I
- 26:23Speaker 4: don't put too much on the first and seconds because
- 26:25Speaker 4: like the year that Bakhtiari was a fourth, he played
- 26:28Speaker 4: like a first.
- 26:29Speaker 2: Didn't matter. Yeah.
- 26:30Speaker 4: So I lump them all in together like that. I
- 26:32Speaker 4: know some people say that's real quaint and cute of
- 26:34Speaker 4: me to do that because first round picks are more precious.
- 26:37Speaker 2: But to me. Find a player.
- 26:39Speaker 6: Scouting is scouting. If you got a player, does it matter?
- 26:42Speaker 6: I'm fine with whenever they come in. The thing about Wolf, too, Drew,
- 26:46Speaker 6: to your point, like, okay, you win a Super Bowl
- 26:50Speaker 6: for sure, you're always going to be a made man.
- 26:52Speaker 6: But to a point, that was the only thing he
- 26:54Speaker 6: would have been able to do in Green Bay for
- 26:56Speaker 6: people to almost not cast the same shadow over him
- 26:58Speaker 6: from his head, right? The thought of, well, he's a Wolf,
- 27:02Speaker 6: so he's obviously going to be great. And I think
- 27:04Speaker 6: he is. I think he's a very good personnel guy.
- 27:07Speaker 6: But they're you know, web that they've weaved there in
- 27:11Speaker 6: new England. Some of it also fell in their lap.
- 27:14Speaker 6: I mean like Drake may kind of falls in their lap.
- 27:16Speaker 6: There are three true and sweet. We'll take the third
- 27:19Speaker 6: of the quarterbacks who might end up being the best
- 27:22Speaker 6: one out of all of them.
- 27:23Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 27:24Speaker 6: Like, yeah. So some of it ends up being, being fortune. I, I,
- 27:30Speaker 6: I think the jury is still so out on Goody
- 27:33Speaker 6: because of what I just mentioned. I don't know that
- 27:35Speaker 6: anybody is going to give him full credit or the
- 27:37Speaker 6: full flowers he deserves if they don't hoist a trophy,
- 27:40Speaker 6: which is a hell of a benchmark to be held.
- 27:42Speaker 5: We look at the shiny objects when it comes to
- 27:44Speaker 5: sports fans. When it comes to judging those things, Super
- 27:47Speaker 5: Bowl or not, that's what it comes down to.
- 27:49Speaker 4: So when they were promoted under Ted, Elliot Wolfe was
- 27:54Speaker 4: director of football ops, and Goody, his title was, I.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Think, director of player personnel. That sounds right. Yep.
- 28:00Speaker 4: And then when he got the GM job, Goody offered
- 28:03Speaker 4: Elliot the chance to be his right-hand man and stay.
- 28:05Speaker 2: He said, no, I didn't get the job because he
- 28:07Speaker 2: felt like it was me or you, and then one
- 28:09Speaker 2: of us has to go.
- 28:10Speaker 4: And I know the guy that I like and wish
- 28:14Speaker 4: would have maybe gotten down as John Schneider.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Yes. That's a dude now.
- 28:19Speaker 4: There's a guy who grew up in De Pere, so
- 28:21Speaker 4: I'm contradicting myself, but his dad isn't on the ring
- 28:24Speaker 4: of honor.
- 28:25Speaker 6: Yeah, he's not your birthright into the organization. You're right there.
- 28:29Speaker 2: The name did carry a lot of weight. There's no question.
- 28:31Speaker 4: But John Schneider's been hugely successful and proven and is
- 28:35Speaker 4: a good dude. They're all good dudes, and I think
- 28:37Speaker 4: any one of them could have been the steward and
- 28:39Speaker 4: would have done fine. But it's like when I just
- 28:42Speaker 4: thought that extra layer of, you know, I don't want
- 28:46Speaker 4: to say baggage, but the advantage or disadvantage of carrying
- 28:50Speaker 4: that last name and being a, a Nepo baby per se, like,
- 28:54Speaker 4: you know, people in new England don't think of him as, Oh,
- 28:56Speaker 4: that's Ronald's job. Like they, they don't, he doesn't have that.
- 29:00Speaker 4: I think I'd call it as baggage drew.
- 29:02Speaker 6: Cause it's not necessarily a bad thing or a, not
- 29:05Speaker 6: necessarily a bad thing, but it's just something that would
- 29:07Speaker 6: always be around. It would, it would linger there to
- 29:11Speaker 6: your point. It's not going to come up here. And
- 29:13Speaker 6: also he gets more shine there because he technically he's
- 29:18Speaker 6: technically the GM. He makes the decision, but I don't
- 29:22Speaker 6: know if he fully has final say on the roster.
- 29:24Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 29:25Speaker 6: I think Vrabel technically does, which makes his day three,
- 29:29Speaker 6: not suspension absence from the draft absence from the draft,
- 29:33Speaker 6: you know, to go and have that, that personal time
- 29:35Speaker 6: with his family to go and make amends for some
- 29:38Speaker 6: stay in Arizona. You have a guy that is taking
- 29:43Speaker 6: full control there, but Goody and the interesting thing about
- 29:47Speaker 6: how he's lived a couple of lives as the GM
- 29:50Speaker 6: drew he's, kind of course corrected a couple of different ways, right?
- 29:54Speaker 6: Like they were the oldest team in football at the
- 29:56Speaker 6: end of the Rogers regime. Now they wanted to be
- 29:59Speaker 6: more rough and tough. And I don't know necessarily that
- 30:01Speaker 6: it worked on the offensive line with certain moves that
- 30:04Speaker 6: you've made, but he's gone, been able to, you know,
- 30:08Speaker 6: change course. And that's not something you usually get in
- 30:10Speaker 6: that job. You either get one chance at it, or
- 30:14Speaker 6: you don't necessarily get to grow and develop into it.
- 30:17Speaker 6: There've been a ton of guys though, that have come
- 30:19Speaker 6: out of that tree. You mentioned John Schneider, Obviously, John
- 30:21Speaker 6: Dorsey is the name of it.
- 30:22Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 30:22Speaker 6: Alonzo Highsmith is still one of those names that I've
- 30:25Speaker 6: always loved to be able to bring up. Reggie McKenzie.
- 30:28Speaker 6: He didn't his stay in Las Vegas or in Oakland
- 30:31Speaker 6: at the time wasn't glamorous, but it wasn't necessarily all
- 30:35Speaker 6: his fault that I don't know that that spot was
- 30:38Speaker 6: anywhere anyone was going to win at that particular point
- 30:41Speaker 6: when Reggie McKenzie took it over. There's a lot of
- 30:43Speaker 6: good names, but I think I'd be with you there
- 30:45Speaker 6: on that one.
- 30:45Speaker 2: I just think.
- 30:46Speaker 4: That was a headache you didn't need, and I don't
- 30:49Speaker 4: know if that went into the Packers' decision or not.
- 30:51Speaker 2: I think maybe subconsciously.
- 30:55Speaker 6: I don't know that they would ever set it out loud,
- 30:58Speaker 6: but I would struggle to think they didn't think about
- 31:00Speaker 6: it when naming that one up. How about another one
- 31:04Speaker 6: for the hot take variety your friend our friend Bob
- 31:10Speaker 6: Nightingale he was on the foul territory show coming up
- 31:13Speaker 6: earlier on today talking about the bids for Tarek Scooble
- 31:18Speaker 6: that it's got to start over Yamamoto's record-breaking 325 million
- 31:22Speaker 6: dollar contract he goes I would think that the Dodgers
- 31:24Speaker 6: are close so you'd go back to LA I think
- 31:26Speaker 6: my hot take is I want him to go to
- 31:28Speaker 6: the Dodgers Interesting. I don't want Scooble to stay with
- 31:32Speaker 6: the Dodgers. I want that evil empire to continue to
- 31:34Speaker 6: roll through. I want that to continue to fester and linger.
- 31:38Speaker 6: Whether the whatever ends up happening with the CBA, they're
- 31:44Speaker 6: not going to have a salary cap, at least in
- 31:45Speaker 6: my humble opinion. There will be some maturations, maybe some changes,
- 31:49Speaker 6: but there will still be the evil empire that can
- 31:51Speaker 6: spend more money than everybody else.
- 31:52Speaker 2: Stay with the Dodgers. Enjoy it. Because I want that.
- 31:56Speaker 6: Evil empire to remain and the Death Star to still
- 32:00Speaker 6: be the calling card. I don't want there to ever
- 32:02Speaker 6: be any nice, lovable factor for LA. Keep spending more
- 32:06Speaker 6: money than everybody else. Keep making people despise you. and
- 32:10Speaker 6: make it even more sweet when you end up beating
- 32:12Speaker 6: them again.
- 32:12Speaker 5: Especially because it seems like it would upset the Cubs
- 32:15Speaker 5: because they seem to want them pretty bad.
- 32:16Speaker 2: Might be the other biggest reason. And I got to say,
- 32:20Speaker 2: I get that line of thinking. I kind of like that.
- 32:22Speaker 5: My hot take is almost like I almost want them
- 32:24Speaker 5: to go to the Cubs because I don't see any
- 32:26Speaker 5: way that they're going to all of a sudden be
- 32:28Speaker 5: over the top just to get one extra guy. And
- 32:30Speaker 5: that contract would be so oppressive. We're talking about like
- 32:34Speaker 5: 45 million plus AAV for one guy. I think that
- 32:38Speaker 5: would be such an oppressive contract. I almost think that I'm,
- 32:41Speaker 5: let's put it this way. If he goes to the Cubs,
- 32:43Speaker 5: I'm not going to be too nervous about it because
- 32:45Speaker 5: they have a lot of work to do in the rotation.
- 32:47Speaker 2: And okay.
- 32:48Speaker 5: Yeah. Scooble is Scooble, but that what he's going to
- 32:51Speaker 5: command and the risks that brings upon it are, are crazy.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Now you're right, Billy.
- 32:56Speaker 5: Like it's already the devil, you know, with like Dodgers anyway.
- 32:58Speaker 5: And I think he'll end up going there because it
- 33:00Speaker 5: seems like he really wants to be a Dodger or
- 33:02Speaker 5: enjoyed being a Dodger. And they're going to probably put
- 33:04Speaker 5: up the money. But I'm one that doesn't want to
- 33:09Speaker 5: give out a contract like that. So wherever he goes, yeah.
- 33:14Speaker 5: It's not going to break my heart either way. It's
- 33:15Speaker 5: going to be Cubs or Dodgers maybe, or maybe Mets.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Let them pay.
- 33:19Speaker 5: That's my hot take. I'm feeling myself because we just
- 33:23Speaker 5: won the way we did.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Could be.
- 33:25Speaker 4: While we've been chatting here, Micah Parsons met with some
- 33:28Speaker 4: of our friends in the Packers locker room.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Now we're talking. Said that his knee feels great, really great.
- 33:36Speaker 4: However... Uh-oh.
- 33:37Speaker 2: I don't like that.
- 33:39Speaker 4: However, he did say he's not going to pinpoint a
- 33:42Speaker 4: day where he can return to disappoint anyone or give
- 33:45Speaker 4: people expectations that I can't meet. So he's not saying...
- 33:49Speaker 4: Everybody's saying we're connecting the dots. Well, it's the Wednesday
- 33:51Speaker 4: before Thanksgiving. It's so far, right?
- 33:54Speaker 2: Not necessarily. Let's see. Okay. Well, now.
- 33:59Speaker 4: Again, because when he went down, he said, I'll be
- 34:01Speaker 4: back in September. And then he quickly realized, well, that
- 34:04Speaker 4: that wasn't going to happen.
- 34:05Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 34:05Speaker 4: Following his brother for updates on Micah's condition.
- 34:08Speaker 6: Some smart awareness on his part of realizing that wasn't
- 34:11Speaker 6: going to happen. I just I also wonder how much
- 34:14Speaker 6: the surface plays a part into these. But if it's
- 34:18Speaker 6: a turf thing out there in L.A., then they're going
- 34:20Speaker 6: to wait another week and a half and then they're
- 34:21Speaker 6: going to go to New Orleans. That's also going to
- 34:24Speaker 6: be turf in the Superdome. Like, if that's the problem.
- 34:28Speaker 6: Then you're only giving yourself five weeks to be ready
- 34:32Speaker 6: and at your absolute best for hopefully getting into the playoffs.
- 34:37Speaker 6: We're going to need your best into that final stretch
- 34:40Speaker 6: of games because you're going to face off against Josh Allen,
- 34:42Speaker 6: Caleb Williams, the Lions again, whatever the Texans are at
- 34:46Speaker 6: that point.
- 34:48Speaker 2: That's a tough one. All right.
- 34:49Speaker 6: I like the calmness, though, Micah. I like your headiness.
- 34:53Speaker 6: I just don't like the statement.
- 34:54Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 34:55Speaker 6: Let's say November 25th. We're playing it so far. Netflix,
- 35:00Speaker 6: start the promos now. I like that one a little
- 35:03Speaker 6: bit better.
- 35:03Speaker 2: I like it. I like it. Keep them coming. 877-794-1973.
- 35:07Speaker 4: Need your hot takes. We'll have our superhero of the
- 35:11Speaker 4: day coming up. Shanna Quinn is going to drop on by.
- 35:13Speaker 4: She's always a hero.
- 35:14Speaker 2: El Jefe is going to drop on by as well.
- 35:16Speaker 2: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Yeah, you know,
- 35:24Speaker 2: first it's just, you know, understand it.
- 35:26Speaker 3: I got to get into more of a football shape
- 35:29Speaker 3: and integrating into snaps and reps over these next 21
- 35:34Speaker 3: days and then just feel like we're at a really
- 35:36Speaker 3: good spot where they're really just to let me go.
- 35:38Speaker 3: Me and Nate been back and forth on it and
- 35:42Speaker 3: it's kind of just how you feel and every day
- 35:46Speaker 3: taking each step like this is an every day. It's
- 35:48Speaker 3: not like hey we feel good today and then we
- 35:51Speaker 3: feel crappy tomorrow. It's like we want to feel good
- 35:54Speaker 3: every day and keep stacking days together. So that way
- 35:58Speaker 3: the day that I have in mind and the day
- 36:00Speaker 3: he has in mind collab and you.
- 36:02Speaker 2: Know, we're ready to play.
- 36:04Speaker 4: Micah Parsons bringing us back to huddle Fox sports radio, Wisconsin,
- 36:07Speaker 4: drew Billy and Armin on a hot take hump day.
- 36:11Speaker 6: That is one of the best things to be able
- 36:13Speaker 6: to find, find out that you're going to be having
- 36:16Speaker 6: him at some point back on the field at some
- 36:19Speaker 6: point feeling a hundred percent. Drew said knee feels great.
- 36:23Speaker 6: Did kind of allude to there was a moment where
- 36:25Speaker 6: it didn't feel great there for a second. Interesting to
- 36:28Speaker 6: hear from him, I admit.
- 36:29Speaker 4: I want to have good days and stack good days, too.
- 36:32Speaker 2: Got to. Exactly. I want to feel good every day. Well,
- 36:34Speaker 2: you know places that they can help you out with
- 36:36Speaker 2: that stacking, right?
- 36:37Speaker 1: Right.
- 36:38Speaker 2: Yeah, as a matter of fact, yes.
- 36:39Speaker 6: Come on.
- 36:40Speaker 2: Come on now. Our Game Day Men's Health place is
- 36:42Speaker 2: always helping us out with the stacks.

- 37:06Speaker 4: walk you through it.
- 37:07Speaker 2: So it's that easy. It's that simple. It couldn't be simpler.
- 37:09Speaker 4: The only way it'd be simpler is if I picked
- 37:11Speaker 4: you up and drove you through to a location and
- 37:13Speaker 4: I'm not doing that.
- 37:14Speaker 2: I was going to say, no, I shouldn't have.
- 37:16Speaker 4: I might, but that's, that's if I have to pick
- 37:18Speaker 4: up an Uber shift or two.
- 37:20Speaker 2: Why not? The holidays are coming up.
- 37:23Speaker 6: You start taking more of my advice over at Pottawatomie
- 37:26Speaker 6: tomorrow for the Thursday Night Huddle.
- 37:27Speaker 2: And you start buying more Brewers merch. You need to
- 37:30Speaker 2: pick up side hustles. We got to pay for this merch.
- 37:32Speaker 2: We got to pay for this gear.
- 37:34Speaker 4: And more tickets, too. I've talked to a few people
- 37:36Speaker 4: who bought season tickets, packages for the Brewers just to
- 37:40Speaker 4: get the playoff tickets.
- 37:41Speaker 5: See, that was smart. That would have been a smart investment.
- 37:44Speaker 5: That would have been a smart investment. Smart thing to do.
- 37:46Speaker 2: I mean, I should have done that. We got five
- 37:48Speaker 2: guys that work here with us. We could have split
- 37:51Speaker 2: a 20-pack. Totally could have. We could have made so
- 37:54Speaker 2: much money. That would have been fun. I remember there
- 37:56Speaker 2: was an old Home Improvement episode.
- 37:57Speaker 5: Harvey would have been mad at us, though, for selling
- 37:59Speaker 5: the tickets. Or just splitting up what games.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Then you have the draft of games.
- 38:03Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. There was an old great Home
- 38:05Speaker 5: Improvement episode when I was a kid. where Tim Alley
- 38:07Speaker 5: all did that. They all got together for the Pistons.
- 38:09Speaker 5: They all bought, like, they had to decide who gets
- 38:11Speaker 5: which games.
- 38:12Speaker 2: That would have been fun. It's like a fantasy draft.
- 38:14Speaker 2: Getting together, right, Billy? Your favorite part of it.
- 38:16Speaker 6: Yeah, my favorite part. They did that in the movie
- 38:20Speaker 6: Fever Pitch, too, where Jimmy Fallon's like, everybody gets to
- 38:23Speaker 6: pick what game they get to go with me. What
- 38:26Speaker 6: a great main character spot to be in. Everybody gets
- 38:28Speaker 6: to tell me when they want to hang out with me.
- 38:30Speaker 5: By the way, this isn't really like a hot take,
- 38:31Speaker 5: but Fever Pitch was the answer of a trivia question
- 38:34Speaker 5: that during the playoffs I was looking for because I
- 38:37Speaker 5: was trying to think of like different ways to kind
- 38:39Speaker 5: of offset my anxiety and stuff. And my thought was,
- 38:43Speaker 5: I couldn't think of one baseball movie in which the
- 38:46Speaker 5: end of the movie, they won the world series. They
- 38:48Speaker 5: had always won like the division or the, or the
- 38:50Speaker 5: pennant maybe, or a big game or like achieve something,
- 38:54Speaker 5: you know, like a perfect game. And I was trying
- 38:57Speaker 5: to tell myself, we've already lived our dream. We made
- 38:59Speaker 5: the world series. And then someone brought up fever pitch
- 39:01Speaker 5: where they did win the world series. However, that was
- 39:03Speaker 5: not part of the original script.
- 39:04Speaker 2: So that's right.
- 39:05Speaker 6: It was.
- 39:05Speaker 2: It's funny you brought that up because I was thinking
- 39:07Speaker 2: about that. I could not.
- 39:08Speaker 5: I could not think of any baseball movie in which
- 39:11Speaker 5: the the final climax was actually pause winning a World Series.
- 39:16Speaker 2: No, it was after fourth base in Major League.
- 39:18Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
- 39:19Speaker 5: It was division. It was one game playoff. Major League
- 39:22Speaker 5: Two was winning the pennant. So he brought that up.
- 39:26Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Bears lost the championship game. They lost
- 39:29Speaker 2: that one. Little Big League. Ken Griffey robbed them for
- 39:32Speaker 2: their chance to get the wild card. Rookie of the year.
- 39:35Speaker 2: It's just the division. Yes.
- 39:36Speaker 6: I'm going down to sit in the seats to watch
- 39:38Speaker 6: you win us the division.
- 39:40Speaker 1: That was it.
- 39:40Speaker 5: It was the one game playoff against the Mets. However,
- 39:43Speaker 5: selling the Cracker Jacks. They do imply they win the
- 39:45Speaker 5: World Series because I think Henry shows a ring at
- 39:48Speaker 5: the end.
- 39:49Speaker 2: With World Series champs.
- 39:50Speaker 7: Oh, you're right.
- 39:51Speaker 2: They do.
- 39:52Speaker 5: They don't shoot it and it's not a scene. They
- 39:54Speaker 5: don't show it, but they imply it. So I guess
- 39:56Speaker 5: that's because they knew at that point it was like,
- 39:58Speaker 5: we're going to go all the way. So it's like, yeah,
- 40:00Speaker 5: but that was a little fun diversion that you brought
- 40:03Speaker 5: up in my mind.
- 40:03Speaker 2: I like that. Yeah.
- 40:05Speaker 1: All right.
- 40:05Speaker 4: Who's our current electric superhero of the day brought to
- 40:08Speaker 4: us by our friends? Call current.com the website.
- 40:11Speaker 2: Who do we like? That's a great question.

- 40:19Speaker 6: ACL and meniscus. We kind of forget about the meniscus
- 40:23Speaker 6: one in there as well. Not to be forgotten about.
- 40:26Speaker 6: He was a limited participant today as he opened up
- 40:28Speaker 6: his window. The rest of the Packers injury report came
- 40:32Speaker 6: out here today. The only DNPs drew Zaire Franklin, Travis Glover,
- 40:36Speaker 6: Sean Ryan.

- 41:35Speaker 6: but don't you believe he could find a way to
- 41:37Speaker 6: figure it out? Like if he got down there, he's like,
- 41:39Speaker 6: I bet I can figure this thing out. I mean like, no,
- 41:41Speaker 6: he's not going to be the one, but I bet
- 41:43Speaker 6: he could figure it out. Listen, YouTube university will, Have
- 41:46Speaker 6: you believe in you can do just about anything right now?
- 41:48Speaker 2: I don't think he believes he can't do it. All right.
- 41:50Speaker 5: I do have, if you have time to indulge me
- 41:52Speaker 5: for an honorable mention for superhero of the day, we're
- 41:55Speaker 5: not the only one with a parade around here.
- 41:56Speaker 2: The Golden State Valkyries. That's fair.
- 41:58Speaker 5: Yes, they're partying. And they're partying today. And this guy
- 42:01Speaker 5: is an honorable mention. This guy, I think, what did
- 42:03Speaker 5: he do here?
- 42:03Speaker 2: I'm a teacher.
- 42:04Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
- 42:05Speaker 2: I teach at Pittsburgh.
- 42:06Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 42:07Speaker 2: I took a PTO day.
- 42:08Speaker 6: I'm good.
- 42:09Speaker 5: Valk's in seven because Ball Hollow was heaven.
- 42:11Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 42:13Speaker 2: The guy that took a PTO day for the parade.
- 42:15Speaker 6: 2007 because Valhalla was heaven.
- 42:18Speaker 2: He said he was from Pittsburgh.
- 42:20Speaker 5: So if he took a PTO day and flew from
- 42:22Speaker 5: Pittsburgh to go to the parade.
- 42:25Speaker 2: That's a real fan right there. That's a real fan.
- 42:27Speaker 2: That's a hero. I'm sure it's going to be popping
- 42:29Speaker 2: the parade. I don't know what the numbers will be like, but.
- 42:31Speaker 4: There are some who questioned MPS's decision to shut down
- 42:36Speaker 4: in local districts.
- 42:37Speaker 2: People that questioned that? There were. What were you going
- 42:40Speaker 2: to do?
- 42:40Speaker 4: But I heard from somebody that there was a local
- 42:43Speaker 4: school district that had like 35 teachers call out.
- 42:45Speaker 2: Yeah, what were you going to do?
- 42:48Speaker 4: How do you even have school anyway when the entire,
- 42:50Speaker 4: how many subs are there?
- 42:51Speaker 2: We don't have enough subs. All right, we're all going
- 42:53Speaker 2: into the gym to watch the parade. How do the
- 42:54Speaker 2: buses get through? Did you imagine they walk over to
- 42:56Speaker 2: Quick Trip?
- 42:56Speaker 6: Hey, anybody want to make $ 100 and substitute today, teach math?
- 43:00Speaker 5: How do the buses go through? I mean, I know
- 43:02Speaker 5: you're just wheeling in the VCR. I don't know what
- 43:05Speaker 5: the version of that is now.
- 43:06Speaker 2: Put a YouTube video. Oh, yeah, you just put it
- 43:07Speaker 2: up on a smart board.
- 43:08Speaker 5: I mean, come on, though. Like, how are the buses
- 43:10Speaker 5: going to get through? The streets were shut down.
- 43:14Speaker 2: Well, you know.
- 43:16Speaker 6: That blows my mind that people did not take that
- 43:18Speaker 6: cue and cancel school that day.
- 43:22Speaker 2: Maybe you were waiting for the next one. Well, most did, but, yeah,
- 43:25Speaker 2: wait around.
- 43:26Speaker 5: You're going to lose a lot of education that day. Like,
- 43:29Speaker 5: nobody was going to be watching the thing in their
- 43:31Speaker 5: classroom anyway.
- 43:34Speaker 2: I took a lot of parade days in school. I
