09/14/26 - Hour 1 · The Huddle

0:00
Speaker 1: Well, the sun will rise in the east at a
0:02
Speaker 1: certain point this morning, despite what happened yesterday in Minneapolis.
0:06
Speaker 2: Welcome in to the huddle.
0:08
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison, everywhere in
0:12
Speaker 1: the iron. I'm streaming live Facebook X and YouTube. Drew Olson,
0:15
Speaker 1: Bill Schmidt, Armin Sarian, bringing it to you. Still trying
0:19
Speaker 1: to process what we witnessed yesterday coming out at U.S.
0:22
Speaker 1: Bank Stadium. But I'll say this. The natives are restless
0:28
Speaker 1: and there are. Twice as many people, maybe it's just
0:31
Speaker 1: a function of the calendar and people settling in the routines.
0:33
Speaker 1: Twice as many people standing outside the Y waiting to
0:37
Speaker 1: work out their frustrations today. And I think it's not
0:41
Speaker 1: a coincidence. Working off the BAC and sweating it out
0:44
Speaker 1: from yesterday and trying to sweat off the L.
0:46
Speaker 2: I like that, Drew.
0:47
Speaker 1: And also it's regular season time for everybody to start
0:51
Speaker 1: figuring out the way that they can start winning some contests.
0:54
Speaker 1: So I like the fact that We're all trying to
0:57
Speaker 1: better ourselves at that moment. I'll tell you this right now.
1:00
Speaker 1: That was and will be one of the more disappointing
1:03
Speaker 1: and confusing results that I've seen in quite some time
1:07
Speaker 1: for the.
1:08
Speaker 2: We good? We good, brother? What's up, man? Armand's just
1:13
Speaker 2: trying to fix your feet, dude. Yeah. In the midst
1:16
Speaker 2: of a confusion. I got it.
1:18
Speaker 1: I got it, brother. Don't worry about it. You get
1:20
Speaker 1: back to the post. See, this is what happens when
1:23
Speaker 1: in a in-sync unit, one person tries to go outside
1:27
Speaker 1: of their bounds. And Drew, people try to figure out
1:30
Speaker 1: how in their everyday lives you can equate things to
1:32
Speaker 1: offensive line play. And I think one of them would
1:34
Speaker 1: have just been an exact moment. You think that the
1:37
Speaker 1: easy thing is for Armand just to say in my ear, hey, brother,
1:40
Speaker 1: can you fix that camera real quick? But we try
1:42
Speaker 1: to do just a tick too much, especially loud environments.
1:45
Speaker 1: Things get haywire. You try to do something. Feel like
1:48
Speaker 1: you're just doing something good. Feel like you're just hanging
1:50
Speaker 1: on with Jacob Monk maybe a tick too long because
1:53
Speaker 1: the young man's been struggling in his first start hanging
1:55
Speaker 1: out here at right guard. And instead, you don't rotate back.
1:58
Speaker 1: Blake Cashman comes and molly whops your quarterback. One of
2:02
Speaker 1: the seemingly 24 hits that he took on his 42
2:06
Speaker 1: dropbacks yesterday. That was a physically dominating fourth quarter by
2:11
Speaker 1: the Vikings. And some reason painting myself and watching a
2:14
Speaker 1: little bit more of it after we finished up Packers
2:17
Speaker 1: OT yesterday. They say it's never as good as it
2:20
Speaker 1: feels or as bad as it feels. The good parts
2:23
Speaker 1: were real good yesterday, and the bad parts, Drew, somehow
2:26
Speaker 1: felt worse. Yeah, we're going to talk about this at length.
2:30
Speaker 1: Game balls and kicks for sure. Wayne Larrabee is going
2:32
Speaker 1: to join the program before we get out today. They
2:34
Speaker 1: have voiced the Packers, the incomparable one, who was great
2:37
Speaker 1: behind the mic, midseason form for Wayne. Another second half,
2:42
Speaker 1: absolute meltdown. It was another car crash that we watched.
2:46
Speaker 1: And as we process it, I'm struck by the fact
2:50
Speaker 1: that everything matters. I was thinking about this, again, Reddit,
2:56
Speaker 1: shower thoughts, the butterfly effect of everything being interconnected in football.
3:02
Speaker 1: And something that happens that you see, and it flows
3:06
Speaker 1: like a river, a raging river at times, an NFL game.
3:09
Speaker 2: But you see something happen early on.
3:11
Speaker 1: And you notice it, and then you forget about it
3:14
Speaker 1: because there's a million other things that happen on every play.
3:18
Speaker 1: And then you go back and look and you go, damn,
3:20
Speaker 1: that was interconnected. And I was thinking about that because
3:23
Speaker 1: I was thinking of Trey Smack. Trey Smack missed an
3:25
Speaker 1: extra point. And you thought, oh, that's brutal. And then
3:29
Speaker 1: they're winning and the game goes along. And then you
3:32
Speaker 1: get to Trey Smack making a field goal with an
3:36
Speaker 1: offside penalty. And his coach deciding, well, we don't need
3:39
Speaker 1: those three points. Let's try to make it seven. Let's
3:41
Speaker 1: try to step on it. All gas, no brake. And
3:45
Speaker 1: then you think about that in the context, it blew
3:47
Speaker 1: up and people are looking at that as Matt LaFleur,
3:54
Speaker 1: it was like his undoing lesson, the beginning of the undoing.
3:58
Speaker 1: And then I realized if Trace Mack makes the extra
4:01
Speaker 1: point and they're up nine instead of eight after the
4:04
Speaker 1: field goal, that whole game has changed. Because Matt LeFleur
4:09
Speaker 1: takes the points and they're up to score it. And
4:12
Speaker 1: it changes the entire complexion. And every missed block, every
4:16
Speaker 1: missed tackle, every extra yard, every penalty, everything matters in
4:22
Speaker 1: the NFL.
4:23
Speaker 2: And it's all interrelated.
4:24
Speaker 1: And we focus on a couple key plays a game
4:26
Speaker 1: because that's how close everything is. And the margins are
4:29
Speaker 1: so close. And we focus on the obvious and the things.
4:33
Speaker 1: But then you dive deeper and it's like, okay, like,
4:36
Speaker 1: Then I'm getting into Matt LaFleur's post-game comments and like, okay,
4:40
Speaker 1: we were all kind of surprised to see Donovan Jennings
4:42
Speaker 1: out there.
4:44
Speaker 2: And he gives us like, well, it was, you know,
4:46
Speaker 2: time on task. Time on task. You were at every
4:49
Speaker 2: practice that was open to the public. Thought he earned it.
4:51
Speaker 2: Thought he deserved it.
4:52
Speaker 1: Did he have that much time on task that we
4:54
Speaker 1: didn't notice?
4:55
Speaker 2: Not in front of us, mostly, especially with the starting unit.
4:57
Speaker 2: That's for sure.
4:58
Speaker 1: No. And the offensive line was under siege and Brian
5:01
Speaker 1: Flores can do that. But there was a good chunk
5:03
Speaker 1: of that game when they handled that.
5:06
Speaker 2: Right? And they thrived. And Jordan Love cooked.
5:12
Speaker 1: And there are people, if you go back and look
5:14
Speaker 1: during the flow of the game on Viking social media, going,
5:17
Speaker 1: what the hell?
5:18
Speaker 2: What's going on? How are we getting cooked like this?
5:22
Speaker 1: And then it went the other way because of a
5:24
Speaker 1: series of events and just the flow of the game.
5:26
Speaker 1: And that's why we're so addicted to this sport.
5:31
Speaker 2: Because the games are always good.
5:33
Speaker 1: I mean, like, when 22 points can happen in two
5:35
Speaker 1: minutes and 40 seconds or whatever the number ultimately was, yeah,
5:38
Speaker 1: the games flip all over the place.
5:40
Speaker 2: And, Drew, what you just explained is exactly why.
5:42
Speaker 1: And I know people hate it when somebody drops a
5:44
Speaker 1: pass that would have been a game-winning touchdown.
5:47
Speaker 2: They say, well, we didn't lose the game on that play.
5:49
Speaker 2: And people say, well, you kind of did. You kind
5:51
Speaker 2: of did. You would have been able to win the game.
5:53
Speaker 1: You go back through it, and there's 60 minutes of
5:55
Speaker 1: ball that tells a whole story. I....
5:59
Speaker 2: I did hear Matt say that, and if it was
6:02
Speaker 2: a two-score lead, then maybe we changed the conversation. Maybe
6:05
Speaker 2: it's different.
6:06
Speaker 1: Maybe it's still on the road, and maybe it's still
6:08
Speaker 1: probably the best decision to go up eight points and
6:10
Speaker 1: try to grab any points in a game where last
6:13
Speaker 1: time I checked, EPA doesn't win any football games. Nor do,
6:18
Speaker 1: and I liked at least he punted on the pushing
6:21
Speaker 1: it to the analytics police as to why you went
6:24
Speaker 1: for it. No, he went for it because... He's been
6:26
Speaker 1: listening to people all year long. And for the last
6:29
Speaker 1: eight years, say that my man's too conservative. And then
6:33
Speaker 1: you try to be aggressive with it. Try to be
6:35
Speaker 1: really aggressive with it. Decide that the check is too good.
6:39
Speaker 1: That you go with a QB sneak with a man
6:41
Speaker 1: that Jordan said last night, we've run a lot.
6:44
Speaker 2: Of QB sneaks before. Run a lot of QB sneaks before.
6:47
Speaker 2: I don't remember a ton of them.
6:49
Speaker 1: Define a lot because we watch every play and I
6:51
Speaker 1: don't remember a lot.
6:51
Speaker 2: I don't remember a ton of them that he has run. However,
6:54
Speaker 2: you keep your.
6:56
Speaker 1: Head up and he probably falls forward for four yards.
7:00
Speaker 1: If you don't turn your back to the play and
7:03
Speaker 1: realize where you're at and see the massive gap that's
7:06
Speaker 1: being pushed right in front of Jacob Monk as he
7:08
Speaker 1: falls forward and his whole ass is on into the
7:12
Speaker 1: first down. You look at it, and as you mentioned,
7:16
Speaker 1: all of it matters.
7:17
Speaker 2: All matters.
7:18
Speaker 1: Even a guy last night who comes out of here with, what,
7:20
Speaker 1: 387 yards? Most of these put up in three years.
7:25
Speaker 1: Looks phenomenal. It's an 81-yard touchdown. There's a play right
7:28
Speaker 1: there that if it's made differently, you still can go
7:32
Speaker 1: in for two scores. Or like you said last night,
7:34
Speaker 1: which I was trying to keep track with, but it's true.
7:39
Speaker 1: If you pick up the first down and then the
7:41
Speaker 1: snap goes off your knee.
7:43
Speaker 2: You're still in the same position.
7:44
Speaker 1: You're still getting the huge pop of energy that came
7:47
Speaker 1: to US Bank Stadium in which was a hornet's nest
7:50
Speaker 1: that you, for a moment, had the raid can and
7:53
Speaker 1: you were at the ready and you were holding them
7:56
Speaker 1: yellow jackets.
7:57
Speaker 2: Off for a while.
7:59
Speaker 1: But at some point, them things were going to swarm
8:01
Speaker 1: and they got you and it was on like Donkey
8:03
Speaker 1: Kong when they got you. The thing is, every game,
8:07
Speaker 1: everything's interconnected, but then it's also independent. This game was
8:12
Speaker 1: not related to what happened when they lost at soldier
8:16
Speaker 1: field and yet it's a continuing theme of the story
8:19
Speaker 1: the packers have now lost six consecutive games something they
8:21
Speaker 1: haven't done and since 1990 i believe in the regular
8:25
Speaker 1: season in a generation and that's hard to fathom and
8:29
Speaker 1: a lot of the losses are awful and then you
8:32
Speaker 1: go back and you look at it and you say
8:34
Speaker 1: well You know, this is a, it's another inside straight.
8:37
Speaker 1: How many times, how many hands in a row can
8:40
Speaker 1: we sit and watch the dealer pull seven cards to 21?
8:42
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing.
8:43
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, it's how many in a row
8:45
Speaker 1: now where you had like a 90% win rate and
8:47
Speaker 1: you lose it or 90% probability rate.
8:50
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
8:51
Speaker 1: We will talk and we're going to open up game
8:52
Speaker 1: balls and kicks earlier for you five o'clock clubbers, right?
8:55
Speaker 1: We're going to do that probably very soon, but shout
8:59
Speaker 1: out to the five o'clock clubbers who are with us
9:00
Speaker 1: and everybody's just trying to process what happened yesterday as
9:03
Speaker 1: it's still, Hard to believe that you knocked out the
9:05
Speaker 1: other team's starting quarterback. Your quarterback threw for 387 yards,
9:10
Speaker 1: and you lost the game.
9:12
Speaker 2: You had an 81-yard touchdown.
9:14
Speaker 1: The confluence of events and the things that are building
9:17
Speaker 1: up against the Packers, well, you got to look back
9:19
Speaker 1: and you go, how is this?
9:21
Speaker 2: How are we watching this?
9:23
Speaker 1: Because they haven't lost six in a row since 1990.
9:27
Speaker 1: On the drive that turned this game with the three
9:31
Speaker 1: penalties on third down, That kept the drive alive and
9:34
Speaker 1: gave the Vikings a score.
9:36
Speaker 2: Which looked worse in the second viewing, if you were wondering.
9:39
Speaker 2: Just like unfathomable.
9:40
Speaker 1: Three third down plays with penalties that led to automatic firsts.
9:45
Speaker 1: And one was more questionable than the next.
9:47
Speaker 2: Yes. Well, on one drive, three third down.
9:54
Speaker 1: Penalties that led to automatic first downs.
9:57
Speaker 2: That hasn't happened since 2000 in the NFL.
10:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, perfect storms, man. We keep flying into these perfect storms.
10:05
Speaker 1: The only time that's happened since 2000 in 26 years
10:08
Speaker 1: was Cowboys-Buccaneers in 2001. A single drive of that magnitude
10:13
Speaker 1: to have three drive-extending plays when you're getting off the
10:17
Speaker 1: field and have automatic first downs.
10:19
Speaker 2: On those plays.
10:20
Speaker 1: And that one was officiated by Ed Hockley, if I'm
10:23
Speaker 1: going to be- Probably.
10:24
Speaker 2: Go back and look and check the DNA.
10:26
Speaker 1: And actually kind of forgot about it, Drew, that that
10:28
Speaker 1: series started with a five-yard penalty because Jonathan Ford jumped
10:31
Speaker 1: off sides on the first play.
10:32
Speaker 2: Yes.
10:33
Speaker 1: So there were four penalties on that drive. As critical
10:38
Speaker 1: as they were, though, in succession, it's just a character
10:40
Speaker 1: of itself.
10:42
Speaker 2: The penalties.
10:42
Speaker 1: It's the sixth straight loss for the Packers overall and
10:45
Speaker 1: for Matt LaFleur because he owns it. Mm-hmm.
10:48
Speaker 2: Starts with me.
10:49
Speaker 1: They've blown two 21-3 leads and a 22-10 lead in
10:54
Speaker 1: those six losses.
10:56
Speaker 2: So half the losses, they're all heinous, but some more
10:59
Speaker 2: than others.
11:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this one, as difficult as it is at
11:04
Speaker 1: 5.13 the next morning to say, is the least debilitating
11:08
Speaker 1: of all of them, right? Like, I mean, it's week
11:11
Speaker 1: one in a time where now you can go and
11:13
Speaker 1: you play the New York Jets. You're going to take
11:15
Speaker 1: on Cooper Rush maybe or maybe Tua. in game number
11:19
Speaker 1: three or maybe that's a situation that it ended up
11:22
Speaker 1: being yesterday where as you said you knock out the
11:24
Speaker 1: starting quarterback two series in and potentially ends up being
11:28
Speaker 1: a better thing for the Vikings throughout the game because
11:31
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly where the confidence level was with
11:34
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray but for Carson Wentz and grew up a
11:37
Speaker 1: Viking fan it was pretty high and you could hear
11:39
Speaker 1: because he played some good football for them last year
11:41
Speaker 1: before he got hurt absolutely if you remember they went
11:44
Speaker 1: I think they end up winning one of the international
11:46
Speaker 1: games that he was quarterbacking throughout it. So he played
11:49
Speaker 1: some good ball for them, and he has some familiarity
11:52
Speaker 1: with the system. But Drew, we talked about it off
11:55
Speaker 1: the air last night. Again, more credit to Minnesota, which
11:59
Speaker 1: is hard to give. They did put up 39 points.
12:01
Speaker 1: They deserve some of it. Wentz probably didn't get a
12:04
Speaker 1: ton of reps, if really any, throughout camp. The competition
12:09
Speaker 1: at no point was Carson Wentz versus Kyler Murray to
12:12
Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback. It was always J.J. McCarthy between
12:15
Speaker 1: him and Kyler Murray to be the starting guy. Wentz
12:17
Speaker 1: just went about his business, took advantage yesterday. And the
12:23
Speaker 1: officiating was bad on both sides. Go back and you
12:27
Speaker 1: almost forget about the interesting touch of Aaron Jones that
12:31
Speaker 1: was rather fortunate a couple of steps before he goes down.
12:35
Speaker 2: But it's all interconnected.
12:37
Speaker 1: And as you said, sure, that 51-yard play, Who knows
12:42
Speaker 1: that Lucas Van Ness doesn't generate a pressure and get
12:46
Speaker 1: Wentz behind the chains and turn the ball over. But
12:49
Speaker 1: you did see some real positives out of yesterday. They're
12:53
Speaker 1: really hard to grab this early in the morning after
12:56
Speaker 1: the L, but it's week one. The Vikings held serve.
13:01
Speaker 1: They won the home tilt and you lost and you
13:04
Speaker 1: got blitzed out of a game against the the third
13:07
Speaker 1: best defense in football from a year ago. So not
13:11
Speaker 1: a no harm, no foul, but this one, there's something
13:14
Speaker 1: to be able to grab from and you're going to
13:16
Speaker 1: have to dust off your boots. And the folks that
13:18
Speaker 1: are going to be hitting us up on the talking
13:19
Speaker 1: text line asking and firing Matt LaFleur one game into
13:22
Speaker 1: his shiny new extension, I got bad news for you.
13:26
Speaker 2: It ain't happening. So quit asking. Quit asking.
13:29
Speaker 1: And you can just peacock around and say you're right. Now,
13:32
Speaker 1: the other thing to remember is a couple of years ago,
13:34
Speaker 1: the Eagles won the Super Bowl and in the first
13:37
Speaker 1: Two months of the season, their fan base was screaming
13:39
Speaker 1: for the coach to be fired.
13:41
Speaker 2: They were screaming for him to be fired in the
13:42
Speaker 2: third quarter. It's what every fan base does.
13:45
Speaker 1: Now, again, the things that happen in a game that
13:47
Speaker 1: just wash through like a river. The Packers were up
13:50
Speaker 1: 22 to 10, and it's like, okay, that's a great situation.
13:56
Speaker 2: Well, you know what's better than that?
13:59
Speaker 1: 26 to 10, 25. I was going to say. And
14:04
Speaker 1: then I go back and there's the completion that Love
14:07
Speaker 1: had on a great play to Jonu Smith.
14:09
Speaker 2: Jonu, right.
14:09
Speaker 1: Who gets caught at the seven yard line. I'm not
14:14
Speaker 1: going to disparage Jonu Smith. Tucker Kraft might have scored
14:17
Speaker 1: on that play. Maybe he doesn't. He gets caught at
14:19
Speaker 1: the seven yard line. He's wide open. And the Packers
14:23
Speaker 1: end up getting three instead of seven, which is a
14:25
Speaker 1: recurring theme throughout these heinous losses is the Packers getting
14:30
Speaker 1: field goals instead of touchdowns.
14:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, the officials didn't go one for four in the
14:33
Speaker 2: red zone. You did. One for four in the.
14:35
Speaker 1: Red zone for the Packers and three for 12 on
14:38
Speaker 1: third down. But the three plays after that 43-yard completion
14:43
Speaker 1: that took them to seven, they did nothing.
14:45
Speaker 2: And it's like, ugh. And I know it's a good defense, right?
14:49
Speaker 1: And then you get the field goal and you feel
14:51
Speaker 1: like you're 22-10 and you immediately give up a 68-yard
14:54
Speaker 1: kick return.
14:55
Speaker 2: That's connected. And that's like that.
14:58
Speaker 1: There were so many things that Billy and I, during
15:00
Speaker 1: the Packers OT, which seems like it just wrapped, the
15:04
Speaker 1: Toyota turning point is always like, okay, well, the obvious
15:07
Speaker 1: one was Matt LaFleur's decision, but there's a million turning
15:11
Speaker 1: points in every game, and that was one of them
15:13
Speaker 1: to me.
15:13
Speaker 2: It felt like it to me. Special teams were good,
15:17
Speaker 2: but were they? They missed a point after.
15:19
Speaker 1: Whelan had a 12-yard punt.
15:21
Speaker 2: Yeah 22 there was one of the worst and they gave.
15:23
Speaker 1: Up a 68 yard return like that wasn't good so
15:26
Speaker 1: it was good and bad it.
15:27
Speaker 2: Was good and bad in that and that was the thing.
15:29
Speaker 1: Like again everything matters so much focus on the fourth
15:33
Speaker 1: down call understandably so i get it and it's easy
15:35
Speaker 1: to it's easy to you're trying to make sense of
15:38
Speaker 1: it you want to find someone to blame okay coaching
15:40
Speaker 1: decision but I felt like the momentum flipped on that
15:43
Speaker 1: return by the Vikings, absolutely. I felt it was like,
15:46
Speaker 1: that's why I kind of understood the decision at the
15:48
Speaker 1: time to go for the fourth one, because it felt
15:50
Speaker 1: like the avalanche was already coming down. And it's like,
15:52
Speaker 1: all right, well, maybe you have to get touchdown here.
15:54
Speaker 1: Maybe you have to go for points here to stem
15:55
Speaker 1: the tide. And that was just a killer. If you're
16:00
Speaker 1: looking for the recipe to blow a lead in an
16:02
Speaker 1: NFL game, special teams blunders and not, Not cashing into
16:09
Speaker 1: the red zone and settling for no points or three
16:11
Speaker 1: points are right at the top of the list. Yeah,
16:13
Speaker 1: trading ways to lose. Yeah, trading field goals for touchdowns
16:16
Speaker 1: is the easiest way to do that. Yeah, because just like.
16:19
Speaker 2: I'm saying, imagine that game.
16:21
Speaker 1: If that play, you're up 19 to 10, and then
16:24
Speaker 1: you go up by 16 if you score a touchdown there. Yeah,
16:28
Speaker 1: then it's like easy street. It feels like it because
16:32
Speaker 1: the onus is on the Vikings, and then they'll try
16:35
Speaker 1: to do too much and.
16:39
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the thing.
16:40
Speaker 1: The fourth quarter, it does not just happen in those
16:42
Speaker 1: 15 minutes. There's a lot that builds up to the
16:45
Speaker 1: Vikings running off 22 points in two minutes and 40 seconds.
16:49
Speaker 1: And that's a part of it because that's all the
16:51
Speaker 1: way back in the 10-minute mark of the third quarter
16:54
Speaker 1: when you have the opportunity to take advantage.
16:56
Speaker 2: You're inside. You get a goal-to-go situation.
16:59
Speaker 1: And can't, that's also another one where the officials were
17:02
Speaker 1: bad all night. That's the Matthew Golden ball into the
17:05
Speaker 1: back of the end zone that people were ISOing up
17:08
Speaker 1: of the DPI or the illegal contact that they called
17:11
Speaker 1: against Bullard and him. It is what it is, but
17:14
Speaker 1: that's really where the pressure also started by the Vikings
17:19
Speaker 1: actually getting home. To that point, Love had done a
17:22
Speaker 1: phenomenal job of being able to mitigate it, which is
17:24
Speaker 1: getting the ball out quick enough.
17:27
Speaker 2: But it just started to crack right there.
17:28
Speaker 1: They obviously had the back-to-back punts in the second quarter.
17:31
Speaker 1: But to that point, they were really handling the blitz.
17:34
Speaker 1: But you could start to see the foundation was starting
17:36
Speaker 1: to crack. And all that rush needs is some confidence.
17:41
Speaker 2: Yeah.
17:44
Speaker 1: The drive when LeFleur made the decision to take the
17:47
Speaker 1: points off the board, that should have been a touchdown. Yeah.
17:49
Speaker 2: Because they had the long pass there.
17:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were in position again to not be in
17:54
Speaker 1: that position, if that makes sense. So I look at
17:57
Speaker 1: big plays in the game. A 43-yard pass to Jonu
18:01
Speaker 1: Smith and a 42-yard pass to Matthew Golden.
18:06
Speaker 2: Led to three points. On two drives.
18:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, and- You can't have that. Yeah, no, I mean-
18:11
Speaker 1: You gotta score. But I guess I also don't look
18:15
Speaker 1: at them the same. One of them gets you to
18:17
Speaker 1: the 25. One of them gets you inside the 10, right?
18:19
Speaker 1: So I mean, again, there's a lot of work to
18:22
Speaker 1: be done. And there's a lot of parts of this
18:24
Speaker 1: that are close, but not close enough. I'm fascinated to
18:29
Speaker 1: hear what people have to say at 877-794-1973. Obviously, we're
18:31
Speaker 1: able to get to a couple of folks. On postgame
18:35
Speaker 1: last night, get to a lot more of it today.
18:36
Speaker 1: It's not Victory Monday. We won't be drinking from the
18:39
Speaker 1: chalice of Vikings fans' tears. We're choking down our own
18:43
Speaker 1: right now because the Packers have lost six straight games.
18:46
Speaker 2: Life comes at you fast.
18:48
Speaker 1: They talk about, LeFleur talks about the whole mantra was
18:51
Speaker 1: finish games, and they clearly didn't finish the game. But
18:56
Speaker 1: they also talk about, Billy, and you hear this all
18:58
Speaker 1: the time, overcoming adversity, handling adversity on the road.
19:03
Speaker 2: There's adversity. Adversity. Everything that happens.
19:08
Speaker 1: When the Packers had to play from behind yesterday, I mean,
19:11
Speaker 1: the snowball was already rolling.
19:13
Speaker 2: Down the mountain and getting big.
19:16
Speaker 1: But the Vikings took that 25-22 lead, and then the
19:21
Speaker 1: Packers ran three plays, turned it over with the fumble.
19:26
Speaker 2: The Vikings scored on the first play. Touchdown. So turnover, touchdown.
19:30
Speaker 2: And then two plays. turnover, and then three plays later,
19:35
Speaker 2: a touchdown.
19:38
Speaker 1: So in the span of, by my math, nine plays,
19:43
Speaker 1: Packers turned the ball over twice and gave up two touchdowns.
19:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, that math is correct. Yep. Nine plays. So it
19:51
Speaker 2: went from the second longest drive of the game.
19:52
Speaker 1: Yeah.
19:53
Speaker 2: 25 to 22. And then you blink and it's 39-22
19:54
Speaker 2: and it's over.
20:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where the final number, Drew, somewhat feels not
20:06
Speaker 1: necessarily reminiscent of what the game was. But just how
20:11
Speaker 1: cataclysmic the rush was late, it kind of feels like
20:15
Speaker 1: it was kind of fair. Just because you were holding
20:20
Speaker 1: that house together when they give you the project of
20:24
Speaker 1: you got to put 100 toothpicks together and hold up
20:26
Speaker 1: this egg. You were trying how many different ways to
20:29
Speaker 1: figure out if I just put the triangle together, I
20:31
Speaker 1: can hold that thing up for just long enough. And sadly,
20:34
Speaker 1: that thing was shaking, shaking, shaking. And once the dam broke,
20:40
Speaker 1: it just rolled away and there was nothing else that
20:43
Speaker 1: you could do. Van Ginkle, it felt like, was the
20:47
Speaker 1: only guy that hadn't had a pressure before. Until he
20:50
Speaker 1: makes the biggest play and rips the ball out of
20:52
Speaker 1: his hands on that strip sack fumble that grabs it
20:54
Speaker 1: at the one yard line.
20:55
Speaker 2: Because otherwise, it was mostly the Dallas Turner show.
20:59
Speaker 1: And that's where Drew, going back and seeing more of it,
21:02
Speaker 1: and understandably so, Donovan Jennings, Sean Ryan didn't paint himself
21:06
Speaker 1: in a whole lot of pass blocking glory. Obviously, Jacob
21:09
Speaker 1: Monk blocking air on the one low light is the
21:12
Speaker 1: one that people are going to remember.
21:14
Speaker 2: But everybody was getting beat yesterday.
21:16
Speaker 1: I was excited to watch Jordan Morgan after the camp
21:19
Speaker 1: he had. He started out with a penalty and an MA, right?
21:25
Speaker 2: First two plays.
21:27
Speaker 1: And Zach Paco Buele maybe should have been expected coming
21:31
Speaker 1: off of a patella injury. But Drew, he was not
21:35
Speaker 1: himself yesterday as well. I don't know how much of
21:37
Speaker 1: it was the energy. I don't know how much of
21:39
Speaker 1: it was the rush. How much of it was eight
21:41
Speaker 1: pressures from Dallas Turner going up against him. But it
21:44
Speaker 1: felt like everybody on that front five yesterday contributed to that.
21:48
Speaker 2: That nine-play sequence that you just ran through.
21:50
Speaker 1: The worst part of those drives you're talking about, that sequence,
21:52
Speaker 1: is it just felt like they had resigned to their
21:55
Speaker 1: fate at that point.
21:56
Speaker 2: Like they had just given up. Like, all right, the
21:58
Speaker 2: dam broke. It's over.
21:59
Speaker 1: Like, these bad things happened to us, and we're going
22:02
Speaker 1: to fold up shop now. It's just the way it felt,
22:04
Speaker 1: at least. And I don't know what that's about. But
22:06
Speaker 1: it's like 90% win rate was the win rate for
22:10
Speaker 1: the Vikings line. That's the highest in the NFL since 22. Like,
22:13
Speaker 1: I remember last year against the Browns feeling like the
22:15
Speaker 1: worst game an offensive line ever had.
22:17
Speaker 2: And yesterday made me wonder. Yeah. Because they had these.
22:21
Speaker 1: And then it's like, well, I got to believe you're
22:25
Speaker 1: better than that.
22:26
Speaker 2: And if not, then we got problems.
22:28
Speaker 1: That's right. 877-794-1973 to the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line.
22:32
Speaker 1: Let's fire up some game balls and kicks, shall we?
22:34
Speaker 1: You know the drill. After, you know, on Mondays, you
22:39
Speaker 1: can consider yourself in the postgame locker room and you
22:41
Speaker 1: can give out game balls. I don't know how many
22:43
Speaker 1: of those we'll be awarding today. There's some.
22:46
Speaker 2: I got some.
22:47
Speaker 1: Or kick to the balls. It depends on how you feel.
22:49
Speaker 1: If someone did a good job, you give them a
22:50
Speaker 1: kudo and attaboy. It can be, you know, maybe it'll
22:55
Speaker 1: help soothe some things, perhaps. If you give someone a
22:59
Speaker 1: game ball on the show today.
23:00
Speaker 2: Here it is.
23:01
Speaker 3: Yes.
23:03
Speaker 2: Yes. A little Larry exclamation there. Simple, concise. And conversely,
23:09
Speaker 2: for the kick to the huevos, it's this. Let's go.
23:13
Speaker 1: Larry Upset. Just trying to get some Larrys in there
23:16
Speaker 1: for you. Baby Rock. Collective groan. Defined it, I thought, well. Yep.
23:22
Speaker 2: So there you have it. Off and running. Game balls
23:25
Speaker 2: and kicks. Open it up.
23:27
Speaker 1: You got a whole weekend of the birds. Now, if
23:29
Speaker 1: you want to be a cockeyed optimist, perhaps. I mean,
23:32
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is.
23:32
Speaker 2: Please. Please.
23:34
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is optimistic or not. Jeffrey
23:35
Speaker 1: from Milwaukee, 877-794-1973. Morning, fellas. Somewhat rough weekend because of
23:40
Speaker 1: the Packers, but I still think there are positives to
23:42
Speaker 1: take from that Vikings game, as hard as it is
23:44
Speaker 1: to see.
23:45
Speaker 2: The Brewers are still great, and the Badgers are working
23:47
Speaker 2: on it. Working on it. Come on, Jeffrey. My guy, Jeff.
23:50
Speaker 2: Working on it. We're working on things.
23:52
Speaker 1: I haven't seen many takes like that in the last
23:55
Speaker 1: 24 hours, so I really appreciate that one, Jeffrey. And
23:57
Speaker 1: I guess he's true. I always tell myself, don't overreact
24:00
Speaker 1: to week one, and it's testing that theory.
24:02
Speaker 2: Exactly. Our friend, Janny and Appleton.
24:04
Speaker 1: I honestly think the Packers are going to have a
24:05
Speaker 1: long season. The O-line looks terrible. Love was picking himself
24:10
Speaker 1: off the ground the whole game. I hope he can
24:12
Speaker 1: stay healthy. On the positive side, even though the Brewers
24:14
Speaker 1: lost yesterday, so did the Scrubs, the Dodgers, and Atlanta.
24:17
Speaker 1: Hard for me to get too upset about football when
24:19
Speaker 1: baseball is king right now.
24:21
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jannie. There you go, Jannie.
24:23
Speaker 1: And the offensive line did look, did have an awful
24:27
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. It's the last taste in your mouth, no
24:29
Speaker 1: doubt about it. They are not facing the Minnesota Vikings
24:31
Speaker 1: every week. This team blitzed 78% of the snaps yesterday.
24:37
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. That's just not going to happen the rest of
24:39
Speaker 2: the year.
24:40
Speaker 1: However, and this is true, yes, other teams are going
24:44
Speaker 1: to see this film. Other teams are absolutely going to
24:47
Speaker 1: do it. Teams aren't going to just completely go out
24:51
Speaker 1: of their own defense to just do, to necessarily combat it. Now,
24:57
Speaker 1: there'll be teams that blitz a hell of a lot
24:59
Speaker 1: more probably than they do throughout the rest of the
25:01
Speaker 1: calendar when they have the Packers on the schedule, for sure.
25:06
Speaker 1: Not everybody is as equipped and as good at doing it.
25:09
Speaker 1: This is what the Vikings do, played into their hands.
25:12
Speaker 1: And you could hear LeFleur throughout the postgame. And this
25:16
Speaker 1: is maybe the toughest part for the offensive line.
25:18
Speaker 2: Which.
25:20
Speaker 1: I saw people frustrated in the first half when 20
25:23
Speaker 1: plays in, they had thrown the ball 14 times. Even
25:26
Speaker 1: with a struggling unit, probably more so than any you
25:30
Speaker 1: gotta try to run the ball. And at least they
25:33
Speaker 1: did a little, they tried to a little bit into
25:35
Speaker 1: this third quarter. And you can see that one drive,
25:37
Speaker 1: they ran it five times out of the first seven
25:39
Speaker 1: plays because you had to get a little bit of
25:42
Speaker 1: a change up. These dudes were pinning their ears back
25:45
Speaker 1: all day long, teeing off. And as much as it's
25:50
Speaker 1: going to be imperative to lock in all your responsibilities
25:56
Speaker 1: and blitz pickup and realize that, Chris Brooks is going
25:58
Speaker 1: to have to take it on the chin a couple
25:59
Speaker 1: of times. Can't get run over the way he did
26:02
Speaker 1: by Cashman on the interception in the back.
26:04
Speaker 2: End of the game.
26:05
Speaker 1: But you got to be able to run it, and
26:07
Speaker 1: they're going to have to try to do it a
26:09
Speaker 1: little bit more than they did last night. Because it's
26:13
Speaker 1: one of the only ways that you're going to be
26:14
Speaker 1: able to combat teams just lining up in a sprinter
26:17
Speaker 1: stance and doing what Dallas Turner did yesterday and end
26:20
Speaker 1: up in the backfield seemingly by the time you catch it.
26:24
Speaker 2: It's pretty stunning. Yeah, you're right.
26:26
Speaker 1: It's a perfect storm, and you're not going to face
26:28
Speaker 1: that every week. No, you're definitely not facing.
26:30
Speaker 2: That every week, man.
26:31
Speaker 1: But you know that going in. Like the schedule came
26:34
Speaker 1: out in May. They knew that going in. But again,
26:37
Speaker 1: going in then, they did, and they had a 22
26:39
Speaker 1: to 10 lead. So like the going in, you knew
26:42
Speaker 1: it going in, and they combated it pretty well going
26:45
Speaker 1: in until they didn't, right? So I mean like that's
26:48
Speaker 1: where the frustrations of the plan and that– that opinion
26:55
Speaker 1: part is true. But then you also got to look
26:59
Speaker 1: at it factually and say they did put up with
27:01
Speaker 1: it very well to start. They were able to combat
27:03
Speaker 1: it by getting the ball out of the hands. Then
27:05
Speaker 1: when you don't make one play, like a Jaden Reed
27:08
Speaker 1: drop where you could have probably bit off some more
27:11
Speaker 1: points before the end of the half, ends up being
27:14
Speaker 1: another moment that stacks up and it's all intertwined. Yeah,
27:18
Speaker 1: but they were up 22-10 in the third quarter. And
27:21
Speaker 1: it's compounding with interest because They're up 23-14 in Denver.
27:26
Speaker 1: They're up 16-6 against the Bears. That's the frustration. With
27:29
Speaker 1: five minutes left. And lost 22-16. They're up 21-3 at
27:33
Speaker 1: halftime in the playoffs.
27:34
Speaker 2: And lost.
27:35
Speaker 1: They're up 27-16 with six and a half minutes left.
27:39
Speaker 2: And lost.
27:40
Speaker 1: And it's compounding with interest now. And the trend for
27:44
Speaker 1: people is, you know, it's not just what we saw yesterday.
27:47
Speaker 1: It's what we've seen, you know, going back. And it's...
27:51
Speaker 1: It's almost inexplicable. Right. And you have to do a
27:53
Speaker 1: lot going forward, I think, to erase that trauma for fans.
27:57
Speaker 1: You win some games, it's in the back of their minds.
27:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, but also at the end of the day, it
28:02
Speaker 2: isn't together.
28:04
Speaker 1: What happened in Chicago in January had nothing to do
28:07
Speaker 1: with yesterday's game.
28:08
Speaker 2: Absolutely true.
28:09
Speaker 1: And it won't have anything to do with the Jets
28:11
Speaker 1: game coming up in one week.
28:13
Speaker 2: That's very true. But you also, part of it, is
28:17
Speaker 2: it all a flirt?
28:18
Speaker 1: No. No.
28:19
Speaker 2: But it's almost uncanny.
28:20
Speaker 1: And the odds of these things happening in six straight games,
28:26
Speaker 1: like the meltdowns and the losses like this, and the
28:29
Speaker 1: odds of those, particularly the four meltdowns, it's astronomical. Yeah,
28:35
Speaker 1: I saw Rob Reich's tweet trying to add the probabilities together.
28:39
Speaker 1: And it's not that simple, obviously, when you talk about
28:41
Speaker 1: real-time games. But if you add the game probabilities together,
28:44
Speaker 1: when you're up with a 95% or 90% probability- Whether
28:49
Speaker 1: or not you believe in it, it is unfathomable. Whatever
28:51
Speaker 1: the probability even means and however the hell it's calculated.
28:54
Speaker 1: Fire this thumbs stuff up, dude. Oh, my God. If
28:58
Speaker 1: I get to hear one more win probability, I'm going
29:01
Speaker 1: to throw this tablet through the wall. Let me get
29:04
Speaker 1: a YouTube comment from Dennis Etliger. I hope I'm pronouncing
29:08
Speaker 1: that right, Dennis. In 63 years of watching the NFL,
29:11
Speaker 1: I've never seen officials take.
29:12
Speaker 2: Over a game like they did.
29:13
Speaker 1: And you never take points off the board unless you're
29:15
Speaker 1: getting a first down. Yeah, that was a common refrain.
29:18
Speaker 1: You know, from Lil Wayne, too. So not even to
29:21
Speaker 1: go first and goal. I mean, you get it at
29:23
Speaker 1: the 18 if you get the first down. That's just
29:27
Speaker 1: not even close to a guaranteed thing. Taking points off
29:31
Speaker 1: the board at that point?
29:33
Speaker 2: I just, I cannot disagree with that one more. It's
29:37
Speaker 2: time for the... They will.
29:39
Speaker 1: try to uh wrap up the division spray some champagne
29:42
Speaker 1: after a toast when they clinched a playoff berth on
29:46
Speaker 1: friday night Now, they would have- 20.
29:48
Speaker 2: To nothing victory.
29:49
Speaker 1: If they would have won yesterday, they would have had
29:51
Speaker 1: a chance to clinch on the off day today, correct?
29:53
Speaker 2: Cubs played today. They would have had a.
29:55
Speaker 1: Chance to potentially sneak in there. How do you celebrate that?
29:59
Speaker 1: You just go immediately to the nearest steakhouse and just
30:02
Speaker 1: rip up their lobby?
30:03
Speaker 2: I think you do.
30:03
Speaker 1: They used to gather in like a room, right? I
30:06
Speaker 1: remember old videos and stuff of watching teams clinch on
30:10
Speaker 1: off days where they're all sitting around like circle tables.
30:12
Speaker 1: In a clubhouse or a- Or in a hotel ballroom
30:15
Speaker 1: or something?
30:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, hotel ballrooms. And then start hugging each other and like,
30:19
Speaker 2: you know. Well, they're in Pittsburgh, though. So remember, Yuki
30:22
Speaker 2: ran into that furry convention. That's true. So they might
30:24
Speaker 2: not be able to get one of the ballrooms. Maybe
30:25
Speaker 2: that's the way to do it.
30:26
Speaker 1: Maybe dress up in like furry costumes and then just
30:28
Speaker 1: start hugging each other.
30:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, it depends. We have Hunter Baumgart. Boots on the ground.
30:33
Speaker 1: By the way, Hunter is heading to Pittsburgh this week
30:36
Speaker 1: for the clinch. He's going to be bringing us the content, baby.
30:39
Speaker 1: He's going to be bringing us the goods. I was
30:41
Speaker 1: hoping to book that travel because, you know, you can't
30:42
Speaker 1: get it direct to Pittsburgh around here.
30:45
Speaker 2: You can't get it direct to just about anywhere. You
30:47
Speaker 2: can get direct to Baltimore.
30:49
Speaker 1: I was telling him, trying to swing through Baltimore just
30:51
Speaker 1: in case they don't clinch.
30:53
Speaker 2: This was my genius idea last week. I don't know.
30:56
Speaker 2: They don't need to, though.
30:57
Speaker 1: Armin, you're the last guy I'm going to talk to
30:58
Speaker 1: about travel stuff, given your history.
31:00
Speaker 2: I'm not going to take advice. That's fair. I can't execute.
31:03
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it just be easier to drive? I thought about that.
31:06
Speaker 1: I don't know about the timing for him. Not the
31:07
Speaker 1: worst thing in like eight hours, right?
31:08
Speaker 2: I thought about that.
31:09
Speaker 1: It's pretty easy, John. Or fly into a place and
31:11
Speaker 1: then drive. Yeah, it's probably not the worst thing. No,
31:13
Speaker 1: I would think about it. Hunter Baumgart was at American
31:16
Speaker 1: Family Field throughout the weekend, and he has this update
31:19
Speaker 1: for us brought to us by Import Minded.
31:20
Speaker 2: Take it away, Hunter. Thanks, guys.
31:23
Speaker 3: The Brewers lost 4-3 yesterday to the Cincinnati Reds, but
31:25
Speaker 3: it was a good homestand. They went 5-1. They swept
31:28
Speaker 3: the Cubs, won the series against the Reds. They set
31:30
Speaker 3: themselves up really well with 12 games to go. Three
31:33
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh, three in Baltimore, three in Philly, and then
31:35
Speaker 3: home for three against St.
31:36
Speaker 2: Louis to finish the regular season.
31:38
Speaker 3: And a bright spot in yesterday's loss was Robert Gasser
31:42
Speaker 3: pitching into the sixth inning, allowing just one earned run.
31:44
Speaker 3: He has a 2.33 ERA over his last four outings.
31:49
Speaker 3: And Pat Murphy was asked, is Robert Gasser putting himself
31:52
Speaker 3: in a good spot to be a key contributor, not
31:54
Speaker 3: only down the stretch, but even in the postseason?
31:56
Speaker 1: For sure.
31:57
Speaker 4: I mean, Gasser's thrown the ball great. I don't know
31:59
Speaker 4: how many times in a row, twice against the Cubs,
32:02
Speaker 4: another time.
32:04
Speaker 2: Cincinnati, whatever.
32:05
Speaker 4: I mean, he's been, and he's done it against really
32:08
Speaker 4: good teams that swing it well against lefties. And I
32:12
Speaker 4: think the Reds and the Cubs have got to be
32:13
Speaker 4: in the top five against left-handed pitching. And he's pitched
32:17
Speaker 4: really well.
32:18
Speaker 2: So, Happy for them.
32:21
Speaker 3: The Brewers will line up like this as far as
32:22
Speaker 3: their starting rotation goes. Starting tomorrow night, it'll be Jacob
32:26
Speaker 3: Mizorowski in Pittsburgh and then Logan Henderson on Wednesday, Dustin
32:29
Speaker 3: May on Thursday.
32:31
Speaker 2: Brewers are off today.
32:32
Speaker 3: I'm headed out to Pittsburgh to cover what likely will
32:36
Speaker 3: be the fourth straight NL Central title for the Milwaukee Brewers.
32:40
Speaker 3: They'll clinch that likely this week in Pittsburgh. The magic
32:42
Speaker 3: number sits at two after the Cubs lost to the
32:45
Speaker 3: Pirates yesterday. The Brewers have a two-and-a-half game lead for
32:47
Speaker 3: the top seed in the National League over the Dodgers
32:49
Speaker 3: and a five-game lead over the Braves for the bye
32:52
Speaker 3: in the National League with 12 games to go. This
32:55
Speaker 3: report brought to you by Import Minded, your trusted choice
32:57
Speaker 3: for exceptional vehicle care on South 27th, just north of 894.
33:00
Speaker 3: I'll talk to you guys tomorrow morning on the show
33:03
Speaker 3: from Pittsburgh.
33:05
Speaker 2: Thank you, Hunter Baumgart. That's going to be epic. Exciting, exciting.
33:10
Speaker 2: I'll be in a win too.
33:12
Speaker 1: It's going to be a good distraction of the signal
33:15
Speaker 1: and the noise that's coming out of 1265. Yeah, and listen,
33:19
Speaker 1: it was somewhat of a foregone conclusion. You know that
33:22
Speaker 1: they're going to get it. You know that they're going
33:23
Speaker 1: to finish it off at some point. I like Robert
33:25
Speaker 1: Gasser making a push to make this playoff rotation because
33:29
Speaker 1: Lord knows you need one with the other left-hander that
33:31
Speaker 1: you've been counting on all year long. And Dustin May
33:33
Speaker 1: threw okay. Dustin May was a victim of their offensive
33:37
Speaker 1: success yesterday. He'd have pitched deeper into that game if
33:40
Speaker 1: he didn't have to sit for a half hour in
33:41
Speaker 1: between innings, right?
33:42
Speaker 2: Take a nap like my three different innings.
33:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a rough one. Yeah, that was a
33:47
Speaker 1: pretty good. By the way, game ball to one William
33:50
Speaker 1: Tiberius Schmid. Ooh. Yes.
33:53
Speaker 2: I'll take that. Thank you. For sending us cute pics.
33:56
Speaker 1: Of your young lad snoozing at the game and for
34:00
Speaker 1: making some delicious damn ribs for us to feast on
34:03
Speaker 1: during the first Packers game of the season.
34:05
Speaker 2: My God. I need that breakfast this morning.
34:07
Speaker 1: The rib rub and the smoking, spectacular. It was, listen,
34:13
Speaker 1: it's a labor of love and it is fun. And
34:15
Speaker 1: son of a gun did I think that we were
34:17
Speaker 1: going to be licking some victory ribs and potentially having
34:19
Speaker 1: some victory chicken later on this morning. Instead, that one,
34:22
Speaker 1: we'll have to keep that whole bird in the freezer
34:25
Speaker 1: for one more week.
34:25
Speaker 2: I know. I had to make chili today. I was
34:27
Speaker 2: going to. I don't know that anybody needs that.
34:31
Speaker 1: Isn't there enough mediocrity on display around here? The chili
34:35
Speaker 1: represents losing, so that's what I eat on Monday. The
34:38
Speaker 1: chili represents losing. I hate to say it, but that's
34:40
Speaker 1: the reality in this situation. I think you should just
34:42
Speaker 1: go to Wendy's and get their chili next time you
34:45
Speaker 1: go to the cook-off. Listen, you get Wendy's chili, no
34:48
Speaker 1: one's going to be upset. Man, you can get that
34:50
Speaker 1: at the store now, too. They sell it in cans.
34:53
Speaker 1: But they jacked the price up, man. You can get
34:55
Speaker 1: Wendy's beef now from the store and cook burgers with
34:58
Speaker 1: Wendy's beef. And I'm like, I don't know. Isn't this
35:02
Speaker 1: just ground meat? So I could do that, but I
35:05
Speaker 1: don't know, man. I'm trying to win one of these years,
35:07
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it's going to happen. I
35:08
Speaker 1: keep fumbling it late like the Packers.
35:11
Speaker 2: Game balls and kicks. Do we even bother a kick
35:13
Speaker 2: to the huevos to Sean Hockley? Let's go!
35:17
Speaker 1: Well, not necessarily just him because Carl Johnson, the line judge,
35:21
Speaker 1: deserves one. Your boy Jimmy Russell, the side judge. Patrick Holt.
35:26
Speaker 1: Jason Lettet. Larry Smith, the umpire. He let it get
35:30
Speaker 1: out of hand. Hit yourself a rim shot for that.
35:34
Speaker 2: Come on.
35:34
Speaker 1: I was going to plan on it. I didn't have
35:37
Speaker 1: it ready. Didn't even have it ready. I didn't even
35:39
Speaker 1: plan that one.
35:39
Speaker 2: Pump it up for yourself.
35:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. The... The game ball that is a
35:44
Speaker 1: painful one to go is game ball to Christian Watson.
35:49
Speaker 2: Because in the midst of.
35:53
Speaker 1: The collapse, 147 yards is a hell of a way
35:58
Speaker 1: to answer and come off of a contract signing two
36:02
Speaker 1: and a half months ago and live up to it
36:04
Speaker 1: in game number one.
36:05
Speaker 2: Right?
36:05
Speaker 1: Like, I mean, there were so many people that had
36:07
Speaker 1: a lot of things to say about that deal. Mostly
36:10
Speaker 1: outside of Green Bay. Well, those fantasy football heads sure
36:14
Speaker 1: got their chuckles yesterday and probably got their win if
36:16
Speaker 1: they drafted the young man because he was off and running.
36:20
Speaker 1: And last year, we're going to talk to Wayne coming
36:23
Speaker 1: up in our number three. But he said this is
36:25
Speaker 1: when nine becomes number one receiver.
36:27
Speaker 2: Well, he started out this year letting you know who
36:29
Speaker 2: the number one guy is. Game ball to Keyshawn Nixon. Hey,
36:34
Speaker 2: come on now, Keyshawn. You let him know right away.
36:38
Speaker 2: About damn time. He did. He's not in danger of
36:41
Speaker 2: losing his start.
