• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Considerably more rested than we were last time we were
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: on these airwaves and interwebs.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, considerably more rested and in considerably better mood
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: than we were last time we were on these airwaves
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: and interwebs.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Welcome into the huddle. Hello, 5 o'clock clubbers.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Represent.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Let's get it going.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Drew, Billy, and Armand bringing it to you from headquarters
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: after this glorious Wisconsin sports weekend because the Packers didn't play.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, they can't hurt you if they're not there.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: And you got to watch how the rest of the
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: NFL lives.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Not great, Bob.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: If you watch around and think that you're walking in
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: there to see a bunch of teams that feel really,
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: really good about themselves. There's a lot of scrap peep
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: and a lot of metal that's hanging around in the NFL.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: And a lot of teams took some L's this weekend
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: that I don't think they were planning on. including one
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: in Happy Valley. That was very fun to be able
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: to witness on Saturday night. The Badgers stunning the world.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Down 17-0. You figure, oh, well, this is it. This
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: is going to get ugly.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: And then suddenly it flips Colton Joseph with the comeback,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the in-game comeback of the year.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's about as well as you can say it, Drew,
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: because there weren't, he talked about it on Peacock after,
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: there weren't many people that would have been watching feeling
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: like they had a whole lot of confidence in him.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Apparently a lot of the folks on the sidelines still
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: did after he chucked not one, not two, but three
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: rather room service INTs.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And just continued to set.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Them back behind the eight ball, the last of which
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: happens at the 807.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Mark of the fourth quarter.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: They're down 20 to 10, and the super special win probability, Drew,
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: had the Badgers at 1.5%.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, my.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: To walk out of Beaver Stadium holding that tail and
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: holding that W on Saturday.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: That was impressive, impressive stuff. Impressive. What a comeback. What
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: a turnaround.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: And interestingly... Um, I.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Think, you know, no one reasonably expected them to beat
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame at Lambeau field.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: They did not.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: They held serve against the two directional schools as the,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: you know, and kind of emphatically like we wanted for sure.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: They did take care of business. They didn't have to
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: sweat as much as they had to in previous years.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: And then they win Saturday coming back off the scrap heap,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: you know, Matt Campbell, welcome to the big 10.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Oh my play 60 here, buddy.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Hello.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: We play 60 here. And, yeah, Penn State fans, I
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: don't know what they're saying over there. They're probably saying
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: we lost it more than Wisconsin won it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin won it in our books. Yeah.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Well, and it's part of it on both sides. The
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Badgers held them to check those check the notes that
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: we have here. It was the 12 plays on 19
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: yards and six minutes and like 26 seconds. on their
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: four drives in the last 17 minutes. So the Badgers,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, didn't just toughen up. They completely closed the
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: door on whatever Penn State was doing offensively. But Penn
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: State was just like, yeah, we're inside.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: We're okay. We're inside.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: We're okay.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: It's like that winter storm where you check. They say, like,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: make sure you check on your grandparents. Check on the
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: elderly folks.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Like, we're inside.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: We're okay.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: We're inside.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: We're okay.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: We're not going out.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: We're not messing around.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: We're not going to go out and grab any food tonight.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: We're going to stay in here.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Be safe.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: And you could tell the Nittany Lion fans were not
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: liking it. In the middle of the third quarter, Tausch
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: and LePay started laughing because every end of a drive,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: the fans were pulling them off the field.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, damn.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Going into the fourth quarter, you guys got a two-score lead,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: and we're booing coming off the field.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Tough crowd here in Happy Valley. They sensed what was coming.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Impending doom.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Impending doom and probably a reflection of the expectation they
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: have for their program and maybe for what the Badgers
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: program had expectations for, but you have to change narratives.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: You have to do it on the field, and that's
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: what the Badgers did. I think that that's probably a
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: big part of it. They probably said, well, These are
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the Badgers of recent vintage. We should be beating this team.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: It's probably how Packers fans mostly felt about the Falcons, right?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe there should be a reassessment of what games are.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, I understand. And we have all right to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: go and boo.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: And if you don't feel entertained and frustrated, then let
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: your freak flag fly and do whatever you damn well please.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: But maybe we just think and reassess. That not every
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: game is supposed to be sports freaking Nirvana.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Nirvana and a masterpiece to see. You don't just walk
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: in and drum roll everybody.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: This is not the opera.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: You're not going to see the best performance every time.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, you go to see the orchestra. You go
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: to see the opera. You're supposed to see them at
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: their best. all the time. Like, you know what I mean?
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: But you're right. You're going to see a game. You
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: might win, you might lose.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: There's one difference. You do want to see, and you
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: might see the opera at their best. The opera's not
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: going against anybody, Armand. There's not an opposing opera on
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: the other side of the floor saying, okay, sweet. You
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: wanted to play Beethoven's Fifth? Hold us with seven.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: There's nobody throwing stuff at the instruments to stop them
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: from playing. Absolutely right. And that's the thing. Sometimes people
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: go to these games and they expect to see that.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: And it's like, well, no, there's two teams playing. This
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: is a competition. And one of them is going to
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: come out the victor, whoever plays the best. That's how
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: this is supposed to go.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: We learn this lesson every single week, especially in college football, Drew.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I understand money matters. Money can just dehumanize a lot
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: of things.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: One thing it doesn't do is speed up the aging process.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Last I checked, still 19 and 22-year-old kids. There's still
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: 19 and 22-year-old very young men, and it is hard
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: to rev the engine twice. And when they thought they
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: had that thing in the bag, Jacob Harris left one
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: shoe at the 50 and said, hold my beer.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: That was something. And amazing what's possible when you have
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: a starting quarterback. Like, you know what I mean? The
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Badgers haven't had the luxury of having their starting quarterback
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: for years. Well, yeah, now they actually have.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Not in the game four.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Now we have one.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Well, and I'll say this, Armin.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: There were plenty of folks that were hitting us up
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: on the talk and text line and tweeting at me
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: during the game and saying, I wish we had a
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: starting quarterback. There were a lot of fans, I think,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: that were completely out on the Colton Joseph experience there
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: for a while.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: It's amazing what happens when you just kind of let
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: things happen for a while.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: The Badgers prevail. The Brewers sweep the Redbirds. I didn't
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: realize the extent of the ass whooping that they put
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: on St.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Louis this year.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I feel much better about my post saying that the
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Cardinals are a couple of years behind the Brewers on
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the curve and everybody in the Ozarks and driving their
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: El Caminos to coin a Matt Vaskersian phrase.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: That was a hold back, let them cook moment because
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: it was a roundhouse.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: It was like they just... What was that, like 11-2
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: or something like that?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: The entire division was disgusting.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: 11-2 in the season series. The Brewers beat the Cardinals.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: They stomped them, beat them all three. Miz tunes up,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: lowers his ERA, gets to 252 strikeouts and a 180 ERA.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Locks up the Cy Young. Wraps it up, yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Brewers win that, so they take care of business, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: now they await their fate and the next step. See
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: if they're going to be the Cubs or the Padres.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Bring it on.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Champions fear no one.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Man, is that going to be an interesting and exciting
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: series because they played at Wrigley, we all know, a
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: year ago in a knock-em-out, drag-out three-game series that the
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Cubs end up prevailing. San Diego has been as good,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: if not better than anybody in their own ballpark. They're
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: one of the few teams that's in the playoffs that's
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: under 500 on the road. So being in Petco Park
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: for this series is really, really important to them.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: The Cubs with their circuitous journey having to go from
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Boston to Tampa to San Diego.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: How do you pack for that? I mean, granted, luckily,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: they're all the same climate. So you'd be OK in
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: that regard. But they might they had to be laundry
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: while they go out there.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: They had to be ready. So that's going to be interesting.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: And then we had a slate of NFL games, like
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: you mentioned, Billy. where it was full of adventure, danger
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: and romance and one score games.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm. Which was hot.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: We had a lot of good stuff to chew on
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: from that, including like, you know, the Super Bowl champs losing.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: The Colts winning for once, and the first time in
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: like a year. The Browns winning 2-1. Browns winning.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Nice try trying to make sense of this lead. And
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: their home opener. The Raiders are 3-0.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Tonight, we might see the Bears drop to 1-2, because
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: we don't know who their quarterback is. We don't know
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: if Caleb Williams is going on IR at 3 o'clock
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: or not.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's another big watch.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I guess Bajan's been cleared, but they're going to start
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: case Keenum in Philadelphia.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Good luck. I would too. I probably, I probably would too.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: With somebody that knows how just to, Hey, hand the
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: ball to Deandre Swift, hand the ball to Cameron on guy.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: You can be early and often tonight at soldier field.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I can imagine the Eagles will be teeing up. So
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: that's going to be a fun. Um, my dream scenario
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: will not come true. That's the one downside of this
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: weekend because, uh, I had hoped that the bracket would
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: fall the other way and that the Brewers wouldn't face
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the Cubs till the NLCS because game one would have
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: been the same day as Packers-Bears.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: That would have been... That would have been nuclear for
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: the rivalry of the state.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Having those games, like, hopefully not concurrent, but having them back-to-back,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: like a 325... Brewers game into a 7.30.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: You would have gotten a fan halftime there.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: You would have gotten a little halftime at about 6.35
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: to 7.05 by first pitch.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know. All their bullets dripping with rage at
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: that rivalry.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: At this juncture, the Packers don't look like they're on
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: the same planet as the Bears. However, with the quarterback
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: situation being.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: An equalizer, we'll see. Yeah, and however, two weeks might
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: be an eternity in this league. We'll see. The way the.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Browns look now, the way everybody feels about themselves... Wayne
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: has told us this for years, and I don't know.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Wayne might join us at 725. Maybe we'll give him
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the day off because we're not coming off a Packers game.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: But he's told us for years, like, you know... September
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: has basically become preseason part two. It's where everything gets
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: kind of filtered out, and then you find out what
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: team you've got after you play four regular season games, right?
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: That's just the way it is, and especially with 17 games,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: it's hard to get any handle on.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Are we good or not. Right.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: A lot of guessing at this point in the season. Oh,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: and Billy's beloved Duvall's look like pretty good. Like they
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: could be a, the Jacksonville could be a deep playoff run.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Superbowl team.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Add division that will drag them down in the estimation
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: of people, but they're good team.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: They're, they don't look like they have many, Flaws.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Seem to seem like they have everything that you need.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Hopefully they don't have to face Josh Allen in the
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: wildcard round again this year.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: But I mean, good, good coaching, good offense, good defense,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: well-oiled machine. But again, that's where two weeks in.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Well, in the AFC North was was Comedy Central a
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: year ago and everybody's above 500. And that Steelers Bengals
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: game yesterday was fantastic. phenomenal entertainment not if you're a
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: defensive fan maybe not if you like defense but it
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: fitting that it ended on a on a uh defensive
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: play the four the four teams right now that can
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: boast and celebrate that they're three and oh i think
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: there's two of which that you could have guessed one
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: picked in the top 10 last year in kansas city
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: so they have a chance to not go worse to
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: first because the team behind them last year in the
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: overall standings is one of the others. The Raiders and
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Vikings being undefeated, I think there's a lot of folks
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: you could have woke up in August and said, well,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: that's a sweet dream, but there's no chance that's actually happening.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: And instead, look at that AFC West. Kansas City and
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Las Vegas, 3-0. Denver, 2-1, with the only drop being
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: an absolute drumming at the hands of Kansas City in
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: week number one, where they walked into a lion's den.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: And then the media's favorite, Justin Herbert and the L.A.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Chargers.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Holy cats.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Three.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Somebody's got to flip that around. There's no way they
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: lost to the Cardinals. And they got it. And they
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: got what?
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Five turnovers. I mean, they got five.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Turnovers yesterday in Buffalo and.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Still couldn't win the game. They still couldn't win the game.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, good luck trying to make sense of this league.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: But to your point, guys, it's like. it'll change anyway
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: in a dime next week. I mean, that's just the
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: way this thing goes. And early in the season, you know, yes,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: early in the season, but I mean, middle, late season.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is the way the NFL is now. And,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: you know, like I said, after the game, that's just
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: the one thing that still gives me hope for the
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Packers is that things can change quickly. And what you
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: think you see now might not be reality.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: So.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Hey, I mean, yeah, figure it out. The Bills had
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: to come back. How about the Commanders beating the Seahawks
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: with the third, fourth coming of Marcus Mariota? I'm not
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: really sure, but maybe he's reviving his career. I didn't
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: see that one coming. Is Drake made good? I didn't
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: sure it didn't look like it. I mean, he almost
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: won the MVP last year. There's a lot of.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Things in this league.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Who are the Texans? The Browns, hello. Is Deshaun Watson
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: maybe reviving himself? You just don't get anything like the
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: NFL from week to week. It's just amazing.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Mikey LaFleur's Cardinals gave the 49ers a scare. Everything
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: they can handle and more. That team is playing feisty.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Playing feisty under the new coach.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: How many Packers fans would just switch brothers? Yeah, exactly. Oh, man.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: They're just asking. They're switching offensive linemen. They brought in
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: a veteran. Yeah, did we get the bad one?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Did we get hosed? Is that the problem there?
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Maybe. Is that the problem there? Little brother.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: But the Packers have a new offensive lineman to play with,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and it's not Colson.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: What's his name again? Colson.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: No, not not Volson.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: The young man instead, Lincoln Tomlinson, who's been around the
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: block quite a bit for the former Duke Blue Devil
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: first round pick.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, played a lot of ball.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: And at some point, maybe they do realize we need
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: some guys that can pick this system up quick because
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: they're going to play pretty quickly.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: He's probably seen just about everything you can see.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And I mean, he'll know which guy to be
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: in front of.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: The tough thing is, Drew, and watching it, watching some
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: of it back over the weekend.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: It wasn't as much of that.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: You didn't see what you had seen the Atlanta Falcons
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: line up and do. Well, Atlanta Falcons lined up. And
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: brought a lot of four-man pressures and just said, would
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: you like us to bring the Heat from the right
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: side or the left side?
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Because that will be who wins their one-on-one matchup. Any
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: stunt led to a matchup where they just obliterated the Heat.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: You can't even call it resistance. No. You're right.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: The more you watch it, when you watch the ISOs
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: and stuff and you're, Or Lasky did a nice breakdown
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: of like, this is a great play design. Like, look
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: at what happened to these guys. Are you got four
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: guys blocking one? What are we doing? Like won't work
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: very often.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: No, it horrific.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: And the tough thing was there's, there's now been three
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: weeks and all three weeks. I think there's been a worst.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: A new worst performing spot on the offensive line. Now,
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: not necessarily individual people, but, but the way you mentioned
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: the combinations, the three interior folks.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Had a real rough night on Thursday night.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: They didn't win a play.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: No, and not absolving Jordan Morgan on the outside because
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: it might not be the greatest achievement to have, but
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: he was the best of all five on Thursday night
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: and took some real strides at least forward, but goodness gracious,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Anthony Belt was trying out there. There were a couple
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: of plays where you're like, okay, there's a second-round pick,
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: and then there were some times we go, hmm, that
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: was a second-round pick.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: There were a lot of moments where you.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Started to groan consecutively by watching the plays up front.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: It's pretty wild.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Then my favorite stat now is the narratives in the
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: league and the way things get cast. I guess Harder
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Court and I used to have a category for it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: We called the guy Poor Devil. Yeah, Poor Devil. That
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: was the bless your heart.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: It was Poor Devil.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: And the Poor Devil of the NFL for me yesterday
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: was Mr.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Joe Burrow. Ooh, that fits. Now he is... The stat
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: that he is not.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: He's 1-34 when trailing in the last eight minutes of
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: a game.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: My goodness. 1-34 when trailing.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Now....
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Most teams went trailing in the last minute. Yeah, most
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: teams are going to lose, right?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: The overall record in the NFL when you're trailing with
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: eight minutes left. But one of 34 is Stark. And
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: what he's doing, though, he's, I mean, I guess good
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: enough to lose, but he's putting it up.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: He's playing well. I was going to say. The numbers
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: are fine. Three tutties yesterday, I think, right?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's playing really well.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: If you could possibly find the adjustment in there to
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: see how many times they've lost.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: While they retook the lead.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: That was the only Aaron Rogers thing in 2008. I mean,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: it was the same type of deal.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: It was fumble.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Fumble late. And then it's just, man, it does
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: seem like he should have better results. I'll admit that.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: For what he's done. Like, for instance, he's been a
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: good fantasy quarterback for me, but you're right. He's not
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: getting the team results that I think he would wish
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: to have with the performances he's having. Now, are they
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: going to hang that whole can't come back thing on him?
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Like they did with Aaron early in his career. just because, like,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: he was always up and never left. Well, he did
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: come back 21-3 and win the AFC title game on
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: the road.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: That probably helps. That helps.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: But, I mean, they'd also done a lot of it
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: in their first two games with defense, and Dexter Lawrence
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: had been a huge part of it. He was a
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: problem yesterday, but he was far from the problem for Cincinnati.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Their secondary just got carved up by old A-Rod.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: But to your point, I think that is an example
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: of a team, like, we talk about early in the
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: year things being in, you know, like are unpredictable and non-consistent.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: That's a guy and a team and an offense. I
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: could see getting better and consistent as the year goes on.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Like you just say, you don't know what's going to
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: happen now. And it's been choppy early in the year,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: but it does seem like what he has and how
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: he looks like that. That's a team that will figure
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: it out, or at least an offense that will start
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: to win games. Yeah. I don't know. I think so.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: You don't think their offense is figured out with Jamar
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Chase having nine grabs for 98 yards and a tug?
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Six grabs for 90? I think the offense is.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Running for four and a half a tote?
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: They're going to start winning games more consistently because of it.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I think the offense is good, is my point. The
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: early season choppiness of the results is what I'm talking about.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: But I think they will be more consistent. That's a
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: team that, to me, portends good things to come because
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: of their offense.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, their offense has been this for the last
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: four years. I think they're going to win games. That's
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: what I'm telling you. Well, OK, but their offense hasn't
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: won them games in the last four years. Their offense
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: is what I'm saying, Armin, is their offense has done
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: this ever since they've gone to the Super Bowl. Why
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Drew is saying is Joe Burrow. You look at the
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: numbers that he has put up in in all of
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: those years since he's in the top five.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he was hurt for a while. I mean,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: that was a big part of that as well. So
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: there's one year that he gets dinged up. No doubt
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: about it. But but.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: He now has had two to three years where he
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: has been statistically the one or second best quarterback in
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: the regular season, and they've missed the playoffs because they
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: just can't get any shred of defense in any kind
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: of hell with him.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: That's why he's the poor devil because he's putting up numbers.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: And since, like, 21, he's up there with Josh Allen,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: and he's up there with everybody. And all the advanced metrics,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: all the EPA, and all the stuff that everybody loves.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, they've fallen over. He's terrific.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: But, Armand, to your point, their defense is so horrific
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: that they can't outscore it. they can't outscore their defensive problems.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: And then much like the Packers are going to have
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: a hard time with, you know, their defense could be great,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: but still not be able to withstand the horrible offense.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, and 24 was, I mean, he was one of,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: he had a historic season in 24. They missed the
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: playoffs and he would have walked into the MVP.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: That was the second.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I think that Lamar won. He would have wanted if
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: they could have done anything, but they couldn't.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: He even said it in the after the season post
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: postgame press conference.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: They had asked somebody goes. Yeah, I don't think you
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: win it at eight and nine.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't I don't think you win
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: it if you don't go to the playoffs.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, he is.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: He's done this.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's thrown for almost 750 yards in three
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: games and six tugs. But there's a reason why people
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: were wondering if it doesn't get figured out there in
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Cincinnati this year. Is he the next great quarterback to say,
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: you know what?
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: So if this grass is greener somewhere else, if their
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: defense did. Much of anything.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I'd consider them, like Jacksonville, a possible Super Bowl team.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Real team that you could contend with.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: They just don't look at that. They're definitely explosive enough
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: on offense. You're right. And the defense has to get better.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: The defense is bad.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Because I don't think the Steelers are that great.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: I'd rather have him than Drake May. Let's put it
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: that way. I mean, that's why I think this league
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: is funny sometimes. And Drake May almost won MVP last year.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: But I don't think I ever thought he'd be as
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: good as Joe Burrow. I still don't. The one thing
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: about Burrow.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: When you watch him and I was watching that Steelers game.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I wasn't like hate watching Aaron Rodgers is watching. But Burrow,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: there are some quarterbacks who just seem to take more
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: shots than anybody else. It's the Archie Manning Award.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good one. Jim Kelly was like that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Jim Kelly, Justin Herbert.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Like there are some guys who just they're a magnet
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: for just get in.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Stuff after the plate.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Like he got blocked. He got hit by TJ watt. Yeah.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: He got wrecked by one a couple of times and
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: he gets dinged more than most.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: And it's just something, I don't know. Is there a,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: is there a way of saying it?
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: And I don't know exactly what the, the adjective would be.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Drew.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: He also, it looks much worse when he gets hit.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not like that.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: He curls down and makes it look worse, but he
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: falls in such a way where you don't know if
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: he's ever getting up similar to Jaden Daniels. Like he
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: gets poked. He didn't play yesterday. I don't know when
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: he's going to play again. Mark's Mariotto gray hair out there.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: gray as the day was Marcus Mariota's hair when he
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: pulled off that helmet. Victoria's after beating the champs. Listen,
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know exactly when he comes back, but when
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: he does, there's only one thing you know about Jaden Daniels.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: He's going to get hit and it's going to look
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: painful on the couch. Burrow is right there in that
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: same camp. So you're not in the Drake May fan.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Club, huh?
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not impressed.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: No, absolutely not. I wasn't loving him last year. Everybody
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: else was. I understand why he did perform well, mostly,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: but And the team did well as well. But I
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: don't know. I'm just definitely not right now. It didn't
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: look good to me. Yeah. Maybe I'm crazy.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Didn't look good. Didn't look good. Well, we got plenty
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: to unpack today, including. What is our thought on the Padres?
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: You want to face them, or you want to face
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: the Cubs again right out of the chute?
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, I want the Cubs again. Bring them on, baby.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Bring Chicago one more time. I'm kind of with you.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of with you. But that's such a circus,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: and it's so draining. Oh, yes, it is. You do
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: have to ask yourself, do you expend a lot of
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: emotional energy going through that? You do, kind of. No,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I do. I don't know about the team.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: I say bring a Championsphere, no one, and whoever comes
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: out of that. I fear Mason Miller more than anybody
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I do on the Cubs.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: That's the problem. I do fear PCA is pretty good, too.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: They're both good. Yep.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: We're going to have a time today, folks. The Badgers
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: won a game. We got to talk about them. That's
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: nice to have.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Them to talk about in a positive light. It's about
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: damn time. With the Packers struggling the way they have.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: But hey, as we've seen, NFL not for long. Packers
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: might be tied with the Bears after tonight.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Well, right.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, right now they're tied with the Rams in
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: the NFC playoff race.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Packers and Rams sitting there at one and two. Two
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: teams that were thinking we're going to be undefeated maybe.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: We want your input. Eight, seven, seven, seven, nine, four,
• 23:23

• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Hunter Baumgart's recap of the Brewers' 103rd victory of the
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: season comes up in the next segment of the program.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Sweet graphic they put up on the Jumbotron. A little
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: dancing 103 celebration yesterday.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: It looked like a live crowd.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Somebody walked away with $ 52, 000 on their 50-50 raffle.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: That's amazing. It was a great crowd, obviously, but it
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: means people were in a great mood. Sellout crowds throughout
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: the weekend.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I think they ended up Um, they said the number,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: I can't remember how many sellouts it was less than 30.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: It was like 28, maybe I think in the season,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: but they ended up knocking on almost 2.8 million.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, so baseball reference credited him
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: for 2.78, uh, seventh out of 15 in the national league.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: So that's pretty dang good.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They're in the upper. third of the league of
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: the majors. Well, and they're probably a top 10, 11
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: team in attendance.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: They've now taken out a number of seats since the
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: days where they first started knocking on 3 million.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: It felt like all the time.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: They've started taking out a decent amount.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: They're up into that upper level and where they built the.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Numbers guys. They built the ivory.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Is that the ivory tower? The layer for the analytics.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. The ivory tower.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: Hmm.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, it sounds weird, I guess, when you say
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: it that way. Yeah, Silicon Tower doesn't sound nearly as right.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, they used to say Silicon Valley, but yeah,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: the Silicon Tower does sound kind of odd. But you're right.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: It's the numbers. It's for expanded mattress guys. That's what
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: it was. It was a baseball.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: They might like Silicon in there.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, why not?
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: You could walk in there if they had some.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not mad about it. They might could.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: They might be interested in some of it. They might
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: like what it looks like. So I had a discussion. Oh,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I was at when the Badgers game unfolded, the end
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: of the Badgers game. I was actually in a perfect spot.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I was upstairs at the Pottawatomie sports book. Hey, that's
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: a celebration. Big 12 sports Saturday show from there. So
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: our pal Luis had a great time and we were
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: there and then we finished and the comeback was unfolding.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I'm not going anywhere. I'm in this VIP.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Overlook.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Not walking away from that second.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Deck of the VIP with the secret elevator entrance.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I was like, Hey, where am I? So I was,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: And then that's a beautiful spot.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: It was interesting because, you know, if you, you spend
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: the sports book, the brewers were on a side TV.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: They had the battery game. And then the game, the
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: main screen, the big screen was USC. Cause you know,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: you go with the biggest game that people have the
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: most money on.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: For sure. There was a lot riding on that Oregon
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: USC game.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: And then the badgers like it towards the end.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: And as the, then they had to shift it over
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: like to make sure, especially, when Penn State was driving.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Because as great as the touchdown was with a minute
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: and a half left, the defensive stand, there were some plays.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: He's teasing a little game ball, but a young man
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: broke up a.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Couple passes that were huge.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was going to say Javon Robinson would be
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: the first one in line, number two in that Badger secondary.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: My man was able to save the day a couple
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: of times because, man, Beck is a serious cat. He
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: entered the portal this year. Now, he entered the portal
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: with one of these awesome do not contact me tags.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: By the way, I know where I'm going, so I'm
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: shutting my phone off. Don't disturb me at this point.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: He entered the portal with the most wins by any
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: active quarterback in FBS. So, I mean, he's won before.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: He's won all of it with Matt Campbell and company.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: And his best day, his best time through the year
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: was on that last drive because he had two or three.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: The one into the corner of the end zone, I
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: didn't realize was as close to being completed. until I
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: watched it later into the postgame. But the one where
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: number four is just standing all alone. Oh, man, yeah.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: There was a quick sudden heart drop here in the
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: studio while we were watching that one. But really impressed
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: for a couple of things. Obviously, being able to put
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: up those kind of points in sudden fashion, having a
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: guy that you bring in from Bowling Green who can
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: run 72 to the house and stiff arm safety like
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Jacob Harris did, That's big time. And he started to
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: show some of those throughout the year. He's at a,
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: in the game against, it was not Western Illinois, Eastern Michigan.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: He had three grabs in 90 yards, but it was
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: like three 30 yard catch and run. So he was,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: he has some, some yak in them. And he had
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: at least shown the explosiveness there, but to see them
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: be able to put that thing to the side and
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: continue to fight. Cause I mean, they didn't just spot
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Penn state 14 points. They handed them gift wrapped them.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: And then had to keep going and playing. That's a really,
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: really impressive one. They also don't really have Abu Sama
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: for most of the game, who he wanted to be
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: able to go up against those Iowa State cats who
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: he played with and played under Coach Campbell for a
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: while there in Ames. But a guy that you guys
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: had out at Summerfest a couple of years ago. I
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: remember when Darion Dupree committed, Braylon Allen was hanging out
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: with him.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: He was an iron jock guy.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: And Darion Dupree, one of the few hang holdovers here
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: from the first year of the new regime. And he
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: proved big time, not only this week. He's got a
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: real burst to him. But the last couple of weeks,
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: he's had broke off long runs at a touchdown run
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: So there were huge moments in there. But for that defense, Drew,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, they held it.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: They held back to 114 passing yards on 12 completions.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: That was a dominating effort.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Huge it was absolutely dominant so yeah that.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: That was a just unexpected just a little uh you
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: know unexpected treat that changes the conversation too well and
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: it's funny i said that immediately and i told louise
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: like okay well i kind of thought the michigan state
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: game was going to be like a defining game for
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: the matches i didn't expect them to win in Happy Valley. Now,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: the bar has been raised to the point where that's
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: becoming like a must-win game.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Otherwise, it's like, well, what did that mean?
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, it feels like a huge waste. Yes, you're right.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: This is a pivot point.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: You're turning a corner if you beat Michigan and start
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: stacking success. But losing to Michigan State after winning in
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Happy Valley would be horrific because Michigan State just got
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: boat raced at home by.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Nebraska, right?
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: And it's like you want to get back to the
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: tier where you're you know, competing or beating those teams,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: which the Badgers have fallen out of now.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: And it's like, let's get there. Let's, let's continue to
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: the ascent, right?
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Start rolling with a little bit of consistency and some confidence.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: So yeah.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: And maybe a little juice in the building. There should
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: be Matt even said it. Hey, come on out and
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: join us. There's going to be some spots available for
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: you to come on out and join it on Saturday afternoon.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: You know, Sparty, it's like, This now this is games.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Now we'll see. It's like you have to wait to
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: see if it was real.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: This is and this is funny because I always love
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: to call out my own hypocrisy.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: And I do think that if the Badgers lose like, well,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: what did that mean?
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Saturday night was fun to watch.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: But if they're not building and making progress and stacking
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: says it's a it's an inflection point of their season.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: They beat Michigan State. It's like the snowballs rolling down
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: the hill a little bit. The more and more fan interest.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: Get a little out. Get a little momentum. Like his
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: seat's not as hot as it was.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: And let's roll.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Conversely, we had a discussion on the TV show Saturday.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I was like, and my colleagues, Dario Melendez and Steph Sutton,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: friends of the program, they're in the camp that, well,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: the Brewers won 103, but it doesn't mean anything if
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: they don't do well in the playoffs. If they don't,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: it's like this, it's just a waste. And I'm like,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: It's not a yes and no. Sure, yeah, the expectations
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: are there, but you can't do anything else. So it's
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: not meaningless. It's never happened. The Milwaukee Braves never won
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: 100 games. They went to two World Series, won one.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: They never won 100 games. 100 games is a great accomplishment.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: And if you win, if you finish with the best
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: record in baseball every year, seven years in a row,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: you're going to fall into a World Series title at
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: one point, right? By being that excellent, it tracks. You
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: can't win the World Series between March and October.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: You can't.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: They don't award the trophy. You sure can't lose it.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: You've done everything you can. And you win the series
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: that you don't have to play. They've already won a series.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: They got one in the bank by not playing this week.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: So I'd see what they're saying, that the expectation is, well,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: anything less than winning a pennant and going to the
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: World Series.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Is then makes the whole season a waste.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: And I know it's like Adonazio summer of entertainment and drama, uh,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Stearns bites of the apple.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: That's what it.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Is, but you can't do anything else.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I can't fault an organization that has won the two
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: years in a row posted the best record in baseball.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Now they didn't win the world series because of the
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: randomness of the playoffs and vagaries of the sport can
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: talk about payroll disparity or whatever, but you overcome payroll
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: disparity all through the season.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: That doesn't mean you can't do it. in the next month.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: What has happened in the last four post seasons or
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: five posts or whatever you want to say, however many
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: you stack up, it leads nothing and will not be
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: a determiner as to why they will or won't get
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: home this year. But Drew, to your point, you can't
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: do anything more than what they've done right now. And
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: for a full season accomplishment, there's rare things that need
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: to be celebrated and remembered.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Winning 100 games is that.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: If the Badgers hauled off and went perfect through the
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: Big Ten, they win the Big Ten regular season, like
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Greg Gard has done a number of different times over
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: the last couple of years.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Those are things that should be remembered and celebrated.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Even if you get whatever it was, holy crossed or high-pointed,
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: And some kid goes goal key on you and hits
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: a 40 footer and you lose in in sudden fashion.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: That randomness to me doesn't take away from the entire year.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: But one game and the momentum you're trying to get
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: in a season. Yeah, that can be stunted in six days.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I will allow that.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know that they're having any parades or reunions
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: for the 2001 Seattle Mariners.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Who went 116 and 46.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: That's the thing. It almost becomes an anchor around your
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: neck if you win that much and don't win. They
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: won 71% of their games. 116 and 46. Best record ever. Crazy.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: And then lost.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: So I get that. But for me, it's like this
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: summer was not a failure.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Of course not. The season was not a failure. Independent.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: We can separate the two.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: There's the regular season and there's the playoffs. The regular season,
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: A +.
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: A + +.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: The playoffs... still an indeterminate.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Luckily, luckily they're on different report cards.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. So, but that's harder and harder for fans. Yeah,
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: It is to separate the two because there's just no
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: way I'm calling the season of failure. I mean, they
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: might lose in the first round. I said they could
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: beat anybody. They can lose anybody. If they lose in
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: the first round. Well, you look back. Were you not entertained?
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Dodgers have now become the gold standard
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: of organizations. And since 2017, they've won 100 games. I
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: believe my math is correct here. Five times. You know
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: how many of those five years they won the World Series?
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Zero.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: They went to.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: One of them.
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Great point.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: So there you go.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: When you cash in with 93, nobody will care. You
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: continue to put yourself in position.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: One will come home.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: We just got to get one of these things and
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: come home. Just get him to break through. You can't
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: put yourself in a better position than the Brewers have.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Let's got to beat these sons of guns this year.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Have to beat them.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Speaking of the Brewers, Hunter Baumgart's recap of the game yesterday.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Game 162 is coming up next.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: You're in the huddle.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew, Billy, and Armin huddled up
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: on a Monday in the good land. Victory Monday for
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: the Brewers and the Badgers. And I guess the Packers
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: because they didn't play.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, come on.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: And according to Cal Shee Sports, they right now have
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: a 21% chance to make the playoffs. Not the worst
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: in the NFC. That's a 6% that is held to
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: Mike LaFleur's Cardinals.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Hey, now. Giants and Commanders, then the Packers. It could
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: be worse. It could be worse. It could be worse.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: It could be more impressive.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: That's the funny thing. You can reach us, 877-794-1973, NicoletLaw.com.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Talk a text on game balls and kick the balls,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: warm it up in the bullpen. Right now, however, let's
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: spin through Hunter Baumgart's recap of the Brewers. 103rd victory
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: of the season. The final tune-up, if you will, for
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Jacob Mizorowski. Take it away, Hunter.
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: Thanks, guys. The historic regular season for the Milwaukee Brewers
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: came to an end yesterday with a 6-4 win over
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: the St. Louis Cardinals, fitting that they end the season
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: with a sweep 103 and 59. The record 44 games
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: over 500 for the first time in franchise history. Absolutely incredible.
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: They won the NL Central by 14 games. That's the
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: largest margin they've ever won the NL Central by.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: What a season. What a team.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: Can't wait for the playoffs. Now, also got to say,
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: what a fan base. 25th sellout of the season yesterday.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: Bryce Durang talked after the game about how important it
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: has been to have the fan support here all year.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, wow.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: I was telling Yelly, I'm like, man, it seems like
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: the last two months we've done so well.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: The fans have been great, coming to every game, supporting us.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: So many people could say it, but I don't think
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: people realize how much that does for us as a team,
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: how much it does for the players. Just having the
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: energy and the support behind you.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, the fans are great here.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: They see you out on the street.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: They're very nice.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: They're they're uh they root for us so it's really
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: cool to see um yeah this city's great so.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: And Brewers manager Pat Murphy added on to that saying
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: he doesn't think they would have swept the Cardinals and
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: played this well to end the season if they didn't
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: have the fan support that they have had all weekend long.
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: If 25,000 fans showed up all weekend they wouldn't have
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: played the way they did uh it was motivating to
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: them um And they felt that responsibility that we've mentioned
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: a bunch of times to play their brand of ball.
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: So shout out to you Brewers fans for showing up
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: all season long. All right, NLDS game one Saturday. Looking
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: forward to it. Stay tuned for our updates as far
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: as our coverage and our pregame shows throughout the postseason.
• 37:45

• 38:06
  Speaker 2: It was a good atmosphere this weekend. They had already
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: won 100. I was giving our pal Spencer a hard
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: time at the Packers game.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: That was awesome. Why is that? Another flannel shirt? Well,
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: of course.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you got to wear a uniform.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Our buddy Spencer Michaels, when the Brewers won their 100th game,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: He's like, well, if they win the 100th game, I'm
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: not going to go on Friday. I'm like, you're a frontrunner,
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: you bandwagoner.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: 101's not good enough for you? Just another jaded veteran.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I'm sitting here.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: I take a bite of my pack and cheese, and
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I almost choked on it.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: He's like, well, I'll be there Saturday and Sunday.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, what about Friday?
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: It's like Hunter and Kurt Hogan, Todd Rosiak don't take
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: games off. Any of them not being there? That should
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: clinch his membership to the Milwaukee Press Club, shouldn't it?
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: By having that take.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: It was so awesome. Spencer is so caught off guard.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: I had to beat him up.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: I was just kidding, but I had him going.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Hook, line and sinker.

  Speaker 1: And then it just gets crushed.
• 39:06
