- 0:44Speaker 2: do you think you are? With Drew Olson.
- 0:46Speaker 6: When he spoke, he commanded your attention and he commanded
- 0:50Speaker 6: your respect.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Bill Schmidt. That son of a gun is thick.
- 0:54Speaker 1: And Armin Sarian.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Daddy Sarian.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Welcome to the huddle.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Welcome into the huddle, the Wednesday edition.
- 1:03Speaker 6: Drew, Billy, and Armin bringing it to you from headquarters
- 1:05Speaker 6: 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison, iHeartRadio app, live on Facebook X
- 1:10Speaker 6: and YouTube. It's a hot take hump day on the program.
- 1:13Speaker 6: We're looking for your hottest of hot takes. Bold opinions.
- 1:17Speaker 6: Stuff that you got to get off your chest. Get
- 1:20Speaker 6: them in to 877-794-1973.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Drew, I'll start up with a hot take.
- 1:27Speaker 3: And as we get rolling into now the midway point
- 1:31Speaker 3: of the NFL season this week, the middle week nine
- 1:35Speaker 3: in a 18-week schedule, the Packers play in their ninth
- 1:39Speaker 3: game of the year. My hot take is this is
- 1:41Speaker 3: going to be the toughest test for the Packers this
- 1:44Speaker 3: interior of their offensive line potentially yet. Milton Williams is
- 1:47Speaker 3: a real dude up front. And him and Christian Barmore
- 1:50Speaker 3: were two of the better, one of the better pass
- 1:53Speaker 3: rushing duos from defensive tackles from a year ago. Gabe Jackis,
- 1:57Speaker 3: this defensive end that they got from Illinois, I really
- 2:00Speaker 3: liked him in the draft. He is as high motor
- 2:03Speaker 3: as they come. And this is going to be one
- 2:06Speaker 3: of the toughest tests for this Packers offensive line. As
- 2:09Speaker 3: rebuilt as it is, and as much as we're still
- 2:13Speaker 3: wondering where a certain.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Wisco Viking is in the rotation.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Drew, this might be one of their toughest tests coming
- 2:20Speaker 3: up here this weekend going up against the New England Patriots.
- 2:24Speaker 2: I like that.
- 2:26Speaker 3: I think there's a possibility, too, for this to be
- 2:29Speaker 3: maybe one of the most entertaining games that we watch.
- 2:32Speaker 2: All year long.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Drake May and Jordan Love each, I believe, top three
- 2:38Speaker 3: in downfield attempts. and downfield passing, they're going to be
- 2:42Speaker 3: taking a lot of deep shots coming up in this
- 2:45Speaker 3: Tom Brady game.
- 2:46Speaker 6: Given the extra time to prepare, what does Jonathan Gannon
- 2:50Speaker 6: have in store?
- 2:53Speaker 3: It's tough because you would think you've got to be
- 2:55Speaker 3: moving Drake May as much off his spot as possible, Drew.
- 2:59Speaker 2: But my man can run. He likes to run.
- 3:01Speaker 3: He likes to run, and he takes advantage of teams
- 3:05Speaker 3: running the football. So I think there's got to be
- 3:08Speaker 3: a concerted effort of, yeah, you want to be able
- 3:11Speaker 3: to pressure him and confuse him as much as you can.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Up the middle has been where his bugaboo is. So
- 3:18Speaker 3: maybe this is Tyron Hopper. Maybe a little denied Dennis
- 3:20Speaker 3: Sutton up the middle as well on some pass rush situations.
- 3:23Speaker 3: But this is not going to be the easiest playoff.
- 3:27Speaker 3: place to generate a ton because uh drake will will
- 3:30Speaker 3: make you pay with his legs and just moving the
- 3:33Speaker 3: ball outside of it how about the two best teams
- 3:36Speaker 3: uh of a generation the patriots and packers own the
- 3:40Speaker 3: best and second best win percentages in the nfl in
- 3:44Speaker 3: the last two decades since 2007 with green bay also
- 3:48Speaker 3: ranking first in the nfc amongst that span uh patriots
- 3:51Speaker 3: a 675 winning percentage The Packers in the last 20 years,
- 3:55Speaker 3: a 636 winning percentage.
- 3:57Speaker 4: Pretty impressive, the picture of consistency, although I know Packers
- 4:01Speaker 4: fans will say, well, they have the Lombardis, and we don't.
- 4:04Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, those are two franchises that have
- 4:06Speaker 4: done it well and done it for a long time.
- 4:08Speaker 3: And they've split the franchises only four matchups over that
- 4:12Speaker 3: 20-year span, two and two with the home team winning
- 4:17Speaker 3: every matchup.
- 4:18Speaker 4: Yeah, because you had, obviously, you talked about the Connelly game.
- 4:21Speaker 4: That was Matt Flynn's start, and then the Packers won it,
- 4:23Speaker 4: and won in 14. So pretty good stuff there. And
- 4:27Speaker 4: I saw Nicole Menner, who was from NBC10 in, I think,
- 4:31Speaker 4: Rhode Island.
- 4:32Speaker 2: And formerly was a Green Bay reporter.
- 4:34Speaker 1: She was.
- 4:34Speaker 4: I remember Nicole. Drake Mays practicing with a taped-up left pinky.
- 4:40Speaker 2: So not as.
- 4:41Speaker 4: He's a right-handed quarterback. Not as throwing hand, obviously, yeah,
- 4:44Speaker 4: but it's just something. Just something there, a tidbit for you.
- 4:46Speaker 2: I like that.
- 4:47Speaker 4: You're trying to manifest a little something there. Yeah, maybe
- 4:50Speaker 4: he'll be off his mark a little bit. Don't know,
- 4:52Speaker 4: but yeah, this is kind of a sneaky big game.
- 4:55Speaker 4: The Packers can find a way to get a win here.
- 4:57Speaker 4: I think it'd be big. A lot of attention on
- 4:59Speaker 4: everybody else in the NFC North, I feel like, right now,
- 5:02Speaker 4: especially the Bears. A lot of excitement surrounding them. Yeah,
- 5:07Speaker 4: but like you said, Billy, a big test for those
- 5:09Speaker 4: guys up front, but maybe this is the time that
- 5:11Speaker 4: you come up with your best performance.
- 5:13Speaker 2: And the biggest test is the one you pass. So
- 5:15Speaker 2: we'd like to see it.
- 5:16Speaker 3: In wanting to limit Drake May out of the pocket, Drew,
- 5:20Speaker 3: from next-gen stats, Drake May has scrambled 26 times.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Scrambled to run. Scrambled to run. Not scrambled to pass.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Scrambled to run.
- 5:28Speaker 3: 26 times this season. Ties him with Deshaun Watson for
- 5:32Speaker 3: most in the NFL, in which he's gained 193 yards
- 5:35Speaker 3: and a league-high 13 first downs.
- 5:36Speaker 4: Ooh.
- 5:41Speaker 3: In those 26 scramble rush attempts, including one first down
- 5:47Speaker 3: or including one touchdown, pardon me, 13 first downs, one touchdown,
- 5:50Speaker 3: most in the NFL dude's dangerous. When he gets up
- 5:53Speaker 3: out of the pocket, that's half the time he escapes
- 5:57Speaker 3: that rush.
- 5:58Speaker 2: He's going to make you pay and get a fresh
- 5:59Speaker 2: set of downs. That's something.
- 6:00Speaker 3: The, those are the backbreakers to be able to watch
- 6:03Speaker 3: out for coming up this weekend.
- 6:04Speaker 6: It's hard to say that anybody knows. truly scares you
- 6:09Speaker 6: with the Packers defense because they've been so good without
- 6:11Speaker 6: Cooper and without Micah Parsons. And we keep on, you're
- 6:14Speaker 6: salivating because you want that early Christmas present to open.
- 6:18Speaker 2: I can't wait.
- 6:19Speaker 6: And to get Micah Parsons back.
- 6:20Speaker 2: It's been too long.
- 6:21Speaker 6: As Wayne has warned us, you get a guy back,
- 6:24Speaker 6: when's he back? Takes him a couple weeks of playing
- 6:27Speaker 6: to get back back. He's back on the field, but
- 6:30Speaker 6: is he back to being the terror that he is
- 6:35Speaker 6: when he's at the peak.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Of his powers?
- 6:36Speaker 6: That might take a while. Is he on a pitch
- 6:38Speaker 6: count to start? What does it look like? What does
- 6:40Speaker 6: the defense look like? How does it change everything else?
- 6:43Speaker 3: Well, and Jonathan Gannon kind of alluded to it right
- 6:45Speaker 3: where he was asked, how much time have you spent
- 6:50Speaker 3: game planning or thinking of how you're going to call
- 6:52Speaker 3: this defense? How much have you done that thinking about
- 6:55Speaker 3: when Micah Parsons returns?
- 6:56Speaker 2: What do you say? Every day.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Every day. So there's definitely some tweaks that you're going
- 7:02Speaker 3: to see. You're going to see a little bit of difference.
- 7:05Speaker 3: You saw with Chicago a couple of nights ago, they
- 7:07Speaker 3: sure as heck didn't have to blitz as much with
- 7:09Speaker 3: Jeffrey Simmons on the field. So if you don't have
- 7:12Speaker 3: to bring six every time you walk everybody up to
- 7:16Speaker 3: the line when you know Parsons is going to be
- 7:18Speaker 3: able to get home, maybe.
- 7:19Speaker 2: It changes up a little bit of it. I do think, Drew,
- 7:21Speaker 2: there's going to be a little bit of.
- 7:24Speaker 3: I mean, this gives you, if he does debut against
- 7:27Speaker 3: LA on the Thanksgiving Eve, that gives you a month
- 7:31Speaker 3: before you take on Chicago on Christmas day. where you're
- 7:35Speaker 3: not going to be 100% the best version of yourself
- 7:38Speaker 3: in a month. But I think at that point, you
- 7:40Speaker 3: should start believing that he could be back to somewhat
- 7:43Speaker 3: close to his pro bowl level, right? Is that a
- 7:46Speaker 3: fair assumption? Or do you think it's mostly 2028 when
- 7:49Speaker 3: you start thinking that guy ends up or 2027 when
- 7:52Speaker 3: that guy fully becomes himself? I had early circle question.
- 7:56Speaker 3: I had kind of early circle drew this to be
- 7:58Speaker 3: the week that he maybe came back. And people pushed
- 8:02Speaker 3: back and said, that's far too long. There's no way
- 8:04Speaker 3: he's waiting until week eight or week nine or week 10.
- 8:08Speaker 3: For it to end up being even later, I'm even surprised.
- 8:12Speaker 3: It's a really impressive work of how cautious they are
- 8:14Speaker 3: with injuries. Well, he cautious. And I think you hope
- 8:17Speaker 3: that taking longer is that kind of ramp up. Now,
- 8:20Speaker 3: I don't know if it is because it's not a
- 8:21Speaker 3: game situation. So it's not game speed.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Right.
- 8:23Speaker 4: But you kind of hope that like, all right, well,
- 8:26Speaker 4: Maybe he'll be closer to a finished product because they
- 8:28Speaker 4: waited longer.
- 8:29Speaker 2: I'm not really sure. But I guess, you know, and
- 8:31Speaker 2: Wes Hod talks about it a lot.
- 8:33Speaker 4: Weston talks about it all the time on Packers.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Preview, and it's true.
- 8:37Speaker 4: You need that guy for the latter part of the year,
- 8:41Speaker 4: most importantly. So being careful with him is maybe a
- 8:43Speaker 4: good thing and all that. Hey, guys, it's a Fox game, too,
- 8:46Speaker 4: America's Game of the Week. So Tom Brady makes his
- 8:49Speaker 4: return to Gillette.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Is that true? Yeah, that's big. Yeah, he talks about
- 8:52Speaker 2: it on the program. Kind of a storyline, yeah.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Mike Vrabel talked about it as well today. He was asked,
- 8:59Speaker 3: do you think that you're going to catch up at
- 9:01Speaker 3: any point this week with Tom Brady? Mike Vrabel said, quote,
- 9:07Speaker 3: I'm required contractually to catch up with him at some point.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Wow.
- 9:13Speaker 3: I'm sure it'll be a zoom. I'm sure they won't
- 9:15Speaker 3: show up here. I'm sure it'll be on zoom. So
- 9:18Speaker 3: contractually I'll be talking to him. I'm sure I'll see
- 9:20Speaker 3: him at Gronk's induction thing on Saturday night, but yeah,
- 9:23Speaker 3: I'm required to.
- 9:24Speaker 2: I don't know if he said it with a chuckle
- 9:25Speaker 2: or was it kind of icy? I think it's, I
- 9:27Speaker 2: think it's a little bit icy. I think it's a
- 9:29Speaker 2: little frustrated.
- 9:29Speaker 3: I think there's also some Patriot fans that kind of
- 9:32Speaker 3: like that energy because there's some Patriot fans that are
- 9:35Speaker 3: definitely chapped and I don't, totally discredit it for when
- 9:41Speaker 3: Tom Brady last year there in the super bowl.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Says, I don't have a dog in the fight that
- 9:46Speaker 2: bothers fans.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Some Patriot fans and they're enjoying the fact that their
- 9:51Speaker 3: coach maybe had some of the same energy.
- 9:53Speaker 4: I mean, I know, I think Tom saying, cause he's
- 9:55Speaker 4: a professional for professional reasons and maybe he truly doesn't
- 9:58Speaker 4: have a dog in the fight.
- 9:59Speaker 2: It's hard to say. I know that bothers fans. I
- 10:03Speaker 2: know it does.
- 10:03Speaker 4: They want to believe that their greatest players care as
- 10:06Speaker 4: much as them about being a fan of that team.
- 10:09Speaker 4: And I don't think that's usually the case. That's always
- 10:12Speaker 4: a disconnect. He didn't call the Super Bowl last year.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Yeah, sure.
- 10:17Speaker 3: I mean.
- 10:18Speaker 2: I'd say you didn't have a dog in the fight.
- 10:19Speaker 2: I'm not there. You could very much throw a, yeah,
- 10:22Speaker 2: of course. I'm sure.
- 10:23Speaker 4: Well, I just think like, maybe he's worried about like,
- 10:25Speaker 4: you know, showing favoritism in general, but you're right. He,
- 10:28Speaker 4: it's not hard for him to say like, you know,
- 10:30Speaker 4: I'm always a Patriot, you know, something like that. Right.
- 10:33Speaker 2: I mean, like that's one thing you can always say frostiness. Yeah. Frosty. Well, good.
- 10:37Speaker 2: I liked it. A little frosty.
- 10:39Speaker 6: Um, how'd I come to eight, seven, seven, seven, nine, four,
- 10:42Speaker 6: one 97, three. If you would like to react to
- 10:44Speaker 6: the Milwaukee chapter of the baseball writers association of America, uh,
- 10:48Speaker 6: issuing its awards today to five different brewers.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Most valuable player? Who you got? William Contreras? Armin, who
- 10:57Speaker 2: you got? I'll say Bryce. Bryce Terang. Second straight season.
- 11:00Speaker 2: 21 homers, 100 RBI, 19 steals, 151 games. Gold glove defense.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Ranked among National League leaders in doubles. 37 tied for second.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Run scored, 102 tied for third.
- 11:18Speaker 6: Sixth in RBI at 100? Seventh in walks with 90?
- 11:22Speaker 3: We should have somehow found a way to fudge that number.
- 11:25Speaker 3: Should have Armin Sarian found one more steal for him
- 11:27Speaker 3: to be able to get to the round number of
- 11:28Speaker 3: 20 during the regular season. I know he had some
- 11:31Speaker 3: important ones in the postseason that probably made up for it.
- 11:33Speaker 3: He plays 151 games. He missed what? The full week almost,
- 11:38Speaker 3: if not more, in that August run. Damier played every
- 11:42Speaker 3: single day. That's a hard one for anybody to... To
- 11:46Speaker 3: argue with, especially when you get 37 doubles.
- 11:50Speaker 4: 37 doubles? I would never have guessed he had that many.
- 11:54Speaker 6: 268 average, 21 homers, and 37 doubles.
- 11:58Speaker 4: That really helps the OPS, which obviously helps all of
- 12:00Speaker 4: the rest of the numbers. The thing about it, too,
- 12:02Speaker 4: is I think we're getting to a point, well, maybe not,
- 12:05Speaker 4: but we might be getting to a point where it
- 12:07Speaker 4: was like this with Giannis, where he did things so
- 12:09Speaker 4: remarkable every day that it became ordinary. I think with
- 12:12Speaker 4: his defense, we're almost getting to that point. Like, Bryce's
- 12:15Speaker 4: defense is so good and so rangy and so consistent
- 12:17Speaker 4: and so high value that I think we're used to
- 12:22Speaker 4: him just making all those plays.
- 12:23Speaker 2: And these are tough plays he's been making. Oh, totally.
- 12:26Speaker 2: He makes tough plays look easy. Exactly.
- 12:28Speaker 4: I think we're getting to that point with him, too.
- 12:30Speaker 4: I mean, you just can't underestimate the defensive value he brings.
- 12:32Speaker 6: So Terang was the MVP, the most valuable pitcher. That's
- 12:37Speaker 6: an easy one.
- 12:38Speaker 2: That was unanimous. That's obvious, yeah. That was Miz. That
- 12:40Speaker 2: was Miz.
- 12:41Speaker 6: 16-5, 1.80 ERA, 30 starts. Going to win the Cy Young.
- 12:46Speaker 6: And that one's going to be unanimous too, right?
- 12:48Speaker 3: I mean, is there anybody that's going to throw Chris
- 12:50Speaker 3: Sale in?
- 12:51Speaker 2: Very likely. Maybe a guy from Philly. Maybe votes for
- 12:54Speaker 2: this guy, but no. That'd be a tough vote to defend.
- 12:57Speaker 2: It's going to be a miss. The newcomer, top newcomer.
- 13:01Speaker 6: This was interesting because it was much like the regular
- 13:06Speaker 6: BBWA awards. We talked about it internally, and this was
- 13:10Speaker 6: a regular season award and top newcomer does not necessarily.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Mean rookie, but the guy who's new to the team. Oh,
- 13:18Speaker 2: new to the team.
- 13:19Speaker 3: Okay.
- 13:19Speaker 2: So that could have been a lot of opens it up.
- 13:21Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 13:22Speaker 6: So who do you think would be your choice?
- 13:26Speaker 2: New to the team.
- 13:27Speaker 6: I mean, Harrison's first half was spectacular.
- 13:30Speaker 3: That was where my head went to, but I would just,
- 13:32Speaker 3: the back half of the year might be, Discredit him.
- 13:35Speaker 3: David Hamilton's a tough one, but then again, regular season award.
- 13:39Speaker 3: He wasn't nearly as valuable in the postseason. I thought
- 13:41Speaker 3: about Hamilton, too.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Yeah, he was. But you're right. It's not. But it's
- 13:46Speaker 2: got to be one of the rookies. Got to be
- 13:47Speaker 2: one of the rookies. Cooper Pratt. Cooper Pratt.
- 13:50Speaker 6: Okay.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Luis Lara with the showtime in the regular season would
- 13:53Speaker 3: have had been 281, three homers, 34 RBI.
- 13:54Speaker 1: 74 games.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Cooper Pratt played. Yeah, I just don't know how.
- 14:00Speaker 6: Took over shortstop and didn't give it back.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Lance McCullers got robbed on that one. Hey, there you go.
- 14:04Speaker 2: I mean, he just got robbed. How about.
- 14:06Speaker 6: Cooper Pratt is the top newcomer. I thought Hamilton had
- 14:10Speaker 6: a case because he won some games for him in
- 14:11Speaker 6: the regular season.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Oh, big time.
- 14:14Speaker 3: He played a lot more, Drew, than I definitely anticipated
- 14:17Speaker 3: he would. I mean, I know Murph mentioned it earlier
- 14:19Speaker 3: in the year.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Didn't he start opening day?
- 14:20Speaker 3: Started opening day, and I thought he was going to
- 14:23Speaker 3: be a utility guy instead.
- 14:26Speaker 2: He was a full... Firm platoon, and he earned every
- 14:29Speaker 2: bit of it.
- 14:30Speaker 6: Then the unsung hero of the 2026 Brewers, according to,
- 14:34Speaker 6: and again, regular season.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Who you got?
- 14:36Speaker 4: All right, this is so subjective, right? Because the unsung
- 14:38Speaker 4: hero can be a lot of things. That one's got
- 14:40Speaker 4: to be Kyle Harrison. This is the one that's got
- 14:41Speaker 4: the most. I mean, that might be. I would think
- 14:44Speaker 4: one of the bullpen guys. I always like, you know,
- 14:47Speaker 4: didn't Bryce Wilson win this award once?
- 14:49Speaker 2: Probably. I think he did.
- 14:50Speaker 4: You know, I'd say Ashby if I had to pick one.
- 14:54Speaker 2: That's a fair one.
- 14:55Speaker 4: You know, if I had to pick, but he was
- 14:56Speaker 4: sung a lot. It wasn't like he was on tune
- 14:59Speaker 4: that they say quite a bit. I don't think it's
- 15:02Speaker 4: Braden Shoemake. So I don't know.
- 15:06Speaker 2: Maybe Ortiz. Wasn't Lockridge. No, definitely not. Not Ortiz.
- 15:09Speaker 6: I think you're right on the bullpen. It was Abner Uribe.
- 15:12Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Okay. Talk about somebody they called on a lot. Pitched
- 15:16Speaker 2: 61 games. ERA under two. And kind of took a
- 15:20Speaker 2: different role.
- 15:20Speaker 4: I mean, remember, he was basically a second closer last
- 15:23Speaker 4: year and most of the year this year. And then
- 15:24Speaker 4: he pitched a lot of fifth and sixth innings in
- 15:26Speaker 4: the playoffs. And I know this is not a playoff award,
- 15:28Speaker 4: but a guy that didn't complain. I mean, some people
- 15:31Speaker 4: might say, hey, wait a minute. I'm higher leverage than fifth,
- 15:33Speaker 4: sixth inning. But he took that and put that in
- 15:35Speaker 4: the backseat. No problems.
- 15:38Speaker 6: And then the last award was, again, subjective and it's rough.
- 15:41Speaker 6: The Good Guy Award.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Oh, that's yellow. Cap. Yeah, they gave that to Yelich.
- 15:46Speaker 2: You could give it to anybody.
- 15:48Speaker 6: He won it in 23. He won it in 25.
- 15:50Speaker 6: You could give it to Woodruff. You could give it
- 15:52Speaker 6: to Freelick. This is a team of good guys. They
- 15:53Speaker 6: got a lot of good guys on this team. Good
- 15:55Speaker 6: guys to talk to. But Yelich was the winner.
- 15:57Speaker 3: Well, and I'll tell you, the guy that we started
- 15:59Speaker 3: that conversation with, Bryce Durang, I would not have anticipated
- 16:03Speaker 3: his first year that I would have been making a
- 16:05Speaker 3: case for him. His answers, going from sentences and a
- 16:08Speaker 3: couple of words to paragraphs, has been very impressive for
- 16:12Speaker 3: Bryce Durang.
- 16:13Speaker 2: That's a great point.
- 16:14Speaker 3: Quite.
- 16:15Speaker 2: To SNL.
- 16:15Speaker 3: I mean, from going from one of the dudes that
- 16:18Speaker 3: you desperately didn't want to play the audio to, to like, oh,
- 16:22Speaker 3: this is going to be an intuitive and a well
- 16:24Speaker 3: thought out answer.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm happy for it. I like that.
- 16:27Speaker 3: But Yelich is a tough one to pass up. I imagine,
- 16:29Speaker 3: like you said, Drew, they could have given that to
- 16:31Speaker 3: a number of different guys.
- 16:33Speaker 6: Interestingly, we started handing out these awards in 22 and
- 16:37Speaker 6: the MVPs so far have been Adamas, Contreras, Terang, and Terang.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Terang, okay.
- 16:43Speaker 6: Not a lot of diversity at the top there.
- 16:45Speaker 2: I think those guys are really, this is local BBWA, right? Yeah.
- 16:49Speaker 4: They're smart guys on that beat. They're looking at war.
- 16:52Speaker 4: I think that's what that is. They're smart guys.
- 16:55Speaker 3: Well, and I think as I'm looking at more of
- 16:58Speaker 3: it for Bryce, the way he came on and you
- 17:02Speaker 3: look at how everybody closed the year. Yeah, everybody looks
- 17:05Speaker 3: great and closes out well when you win 11 of
- 17:08Speaker 3: the last 13 games. But his month of September, after
- 17:11Speaker 3: kind of being the mayor of Slum City for the
- 17:13Speaker 3: month of August, he hit a buck 75 in August
- 17:17Speaker 3: and an OPS of 513. Followed it up in September
- 17:22Speaker 3: by hitting 361, slugging 602, hitting four homers and eight doubles.
- 17:28Speaker 4: That is a crazy, yeah. And walking 17 times. Full
- 17:31Speaker 4: 180 there.
- 17:32Speaker 2: So, yeah, it was a big, big run at the end.
- 17:34Speaker 3: That's an amazing, amazing close for a hell of a
- 17:37Speaker 3: season that he ended up having. It's time for a
- 17:40Speaker 3: little Who's Hot, Who's Not brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen.
- 17:42Speaker 3: Heating and cooling the HVAC experts. Still kind of balmy outside.
- 17:47Speaker 2: No heat yet. It was very nice this morning. I
- 17:49Speaker 2: was happy with that. November, the heat's not on. It's
- 17:51Speaker 2: Daily Olsen Manor. I dig it. I was a fan
- 17:53Speaker 2: of that. Who's Hot?
- 17:54Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett getting traded from the Arizona Cardinals to the
- 17:57Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens. Goes from the outhouse to the penthouse. Not
- 18:00Speaker 3: calling the Arizona Cardinals the outhouse. Michael Bidwell. Nobody said
- 18:04Speaker 3: that about your organization.
- 18:05Speaker 2: They're playing well.
- 18:06Speaker 3: Well, he became the third string quarterback when he got
- 18:09Speaker 3: benched this weekend. Gardner Minshew went in, won the game
- 18:12Speaker 3: in Dallas. He gets benched, goes down to the third
- 18:15Speaker 3: string emergency man. He will now be most likely, presumably
- 18:18Speaker 3: the starter for the Ravens after this week.
- 18:20Speaker 2: They play Thursday night football. How about this?
- 18:22Speaker 3: Also, who's hot, Drew? And people do not understand this.
- 18:27Speaker 3: All the work that Armin Sarian does behind the scenes here.
- 18:29Speaker 2: I don't do that much. Gave us this paper-popping stat
- 18:32Speaker 2: here at the bottom.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Of the list.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Oh, I love this one. This was crazy.
- 18:35Speaker 3: Who's hot? The Winnipeg Jets. This was crazy. To record
- 18:39Speaker 3: one of the most unlikely comebacks in sports history over
- 18:43Speaker 3: the Montreal Canadiens last night as they were down.
- 18:48Speaker 3: 4-0 with 240 to go?
- 18:51Speaker 2: No, we've all watched hockey, okay?
- 18:53Speaker 4: The amount of skate time, I mean, that is the
- 18:54Speaker 4: most unbelievable thing I've ever... They came back from a
- 18:58Speaker 4: four-goal deficit with two and a half, 240 to go.
- 19:00Speaker 2: So they were tied 4-0.
- 19:03Speaker 3: Then tied it up in regulation and won it in overtime.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Won it in overtime.
- 19:07Speaker 4: I mean, that is the most unbelievable comeback you might
- 19:10Speaker 4: ever see in sports.
- 19:12Speaker 2: And I'm looking.
- 19:13Speaker 4: You know, they had the win probability charts. That should
- 19:16Speaker 4: be 100. I mean, you don't have 100 in win probability,
- 19:20Speaker 4: but that should be 100.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Just absolutely mind-boggling. And what was the stat, Billy? I
- 19:26Speaker 2: know it's down there, right?
- 19:28Speaker 4: Of teams that were up four goals with less than
- 19:31Speaker 4: two or three to go, that's in the thousands.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Teams were 0-9,652.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Teams are now 1-9,652.
- 19:41Speaker 2: Thanks to the Winnipeg Jets. How you could let that happen?
- 19:50Speaker 2: I just can't really fathom, but it's also on the road.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
- 19:55Speaker 3: So they were in the bell center in Montreal. The
- 19:59Speaker 3: habs are going crazy. Celebrate like no other. Everybody's in
- 20:03Speaker 3: a Jersey drew. Everybody's getting ready to go slam Labatt
- 20:06Speaker 3: blues and then go home. And instead, the Jets are
- 20:10Speaker 3: just like, hold this beer. Hold this beer. Hold this beer. Oh,
- 20:13Speaker 3: by the way, could you hold this one? Kyle Conner
- 20:16Speaker 3: with two of them in the final minute. The third
- 20:19Speaker 3: one was the minute.
- 20:19Speaker 4: So they were up two to go with a minute
- 20:22Speaker 4: to go. They score at 19. So you know how
- 20:25Speaker 4: the hockey time goes. So a minute to go, it's 4-3.
- 20:27Speaker 4: And they scored 33 seconds later. I just....
- 20:32Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 20:33Speaker 4: There's no explanation for something like that. I don't know
- 20:36Speaker 4: how you can watch that slip away and how you
- 20:38Speaker 4: can let that happen.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Just clear the puck. I mean, that's a power play.
- 20:42Speaker 2: That's two minutes. Just clear the puck. Just clear it.
- 20:45Speaker 2: We got to talk to Greeny about that a little
- 20:47Speaker 2: bit later.
- 20:47Speaker 4: No, I don't care who it is. I should be
- 20:49Speaker 4: able to hold a four goal lead with two and
- 20:51Speaker 4: a half to go. Me and you and anybody else.
- 20:54Speaker 4: I can't even skate that well, Billy. I barely can
- 20:56Speaker 4: stay up. I mean, I can kind of skate. Just
- 20:58Speaker 4: get in front of the, I just, that is amazing.
- 21:02Speaker 4: You watch the highlights and you're like, what were they doing?
- 21:03Speaker 2: Just sleep.
- 21:04Speaker 4: Well, you can't see your sleepwalking because once it's four, two,
- 21:08Speaker 4: But hey, I mean, some wild ones happen.
- 21:10Speaker 2: It's just four goals and two and a half. That
- 21:11Speaker 2: was a great catch on the pause button, Drew. Who's hot?
- 21:16Speaker 2: Who's not? Who's hot?
- 21:17Speaker 3: Actually, who's not? Kristaps Porzingis, not hot. Not at all.
- 21:22Speaker 2: He is not getting paid.
- 21:23Speaker 3: Gold State Warriors are not delivering his semi-monthly payments.
- 21:29Speaker 2: On his $ 20.
- 21:29Speaker 3: Million salary ruling that the currently is absent and not
- 21:34Speaker 3: rendering his services. GM, Mike Dunleavy, former buck and the
- 21:38Speaker 3: front office are still actively pursuing trade avenues. A couple
- 21:41Speaker 3: of those doors have been slammed shut.
- 21:43Speaker 2: What's that?
- 21:44Speaker 4: Milwaukee bucks as well here. That's like almost a million
- 21:46Speaker 4: per check. If you think about it, if it's biweekly
- 21:49Speaker 4: and you get 20 of them, you get 26 a year.
- 21:51Speaker 4: So it's like, imagine expecting a 900 and fit while
- 21:54Speaker 4: I guess taxes. Imagine you expect that to hit the,
- 21:57Speaker 4: hit the app. Those type of numbers in it. Don't like, Hey,
- 21:59Speaker 4: what's going on? No one's paying me.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Well, you're not playing buddy.
- 22:02Speaker 3: As the story continues and people are like, does this
- 22:05Speaker 3: happen often? Well, under different circumstances last year, the Miami
- 22:10Speaker 3: heat did withhold payments from Terry Rozier while he was
- 22:14Speaker 3: under federal investigation on a gambling scandal.
- 22:16Speaker 2: That's got to happen. They said they were holding that
- 22:19Speaker 2: thing off. He did sign a two-year, $ 40.
- 22:21Speaker 3: Million contract extension, only three of which was guaranteed, though,
- 22:25Speaker 3: for the second season. Very fascinating story. Very much not hot.
- 22:30Speaker 3: Kristaps Porzingis, who's also not hot. Sam Darnold ruled out
- 22:35Speaker 3: for Sunday. Week to week, he cracked a rib. Also
- 22:38Speaker 3: has a toe injury.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Who's hot?
- 22:40Speaker 3: Joe Milton, going to be the new starter for the
- 22:42Speaker 3: struggling Philadelphia Eagles. And the final one, Drew... I mean,
- 22:47Speaker 3: I don't know if this is hot or not. Brandon
- 22:50Speaker 3: Iuke has filed his reinstatement. He plans to show up
- 22:53Speaker 3: to San Francisco 49ers facility on Friday.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Who plays first, him or Chris Dobbs? I think Dajon
- 23:00Speaker 2: Love might. Oh, baby.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan was asked what his expectation is. He goes,
- 23:06Speaker 3: I have no expectations. I punted on those a long
- 23:10Speaker 3: time ago. I have not thought about this one for
- 23:12Speaker 3: a long time. So Brandon Ayuk, he might be hot.
- 23:15Speaker 3: He also might have forgotten how to play football in
- 23:17Speaker 3: the last 13 months. But you know what they don't
- 23:19Speaker 3: forget to do is great HVAC work. Donovan Jorgensen, donovanjorgensen.com.
- 23:24Speaker 3: Four locations to be able to serve you. West Dallas,
- 23:27Speaker 3: Menominee Falls, New Berlin, McGuanago. Go check them out. They're
- 23:31Speaker 3: all over the place because they are the largest employee-owned
- 23:34Speaker 3: HVAC company, Drew, in the state of Wisconsin.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Well done.
- 23:37Speaker 6: Well done. Be right back. You're in the huddle. Fox
- 23:40Speaker 6: Sports Radio. Drew Billion-Armond with you on this Wednesday in
- 23:45Speaker 6: the good land. Looking for your hot takes. 877-794-1973 gets
- 23:51Speaker 6: you into the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line. Marcus said,
- 23:55Speaker 6: hot take. No roughing the passer calls in New England.
- 23:57Speaker 6: Jordan Love doesn't finish the game. Look alive, Tyrod Taylor.
- 24:01Speaker 4: I did wonder after the Monday night game because I
- 24:03Speaker 4: thought there was a lot that didn't go called. Are
- 24:05Speaker 4: they going to start to kind of reverse course on
- 24:07Speaker 4: this as a league?
- 24:08Speaker 3: Well, especially after all those refs see that video of
- 24:11Speaker 3: their Halloween costumes.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Oh, man.
- 24:13Speaker 2: You think you're getting a favorable call, son?
- 24:15Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 24:15Speaker 2: Good one.
- 24:16Speaker 4: No, we're going to start picking on you again now.
- 24:18Speaker 4: We're going to make it personal again. We're going to
- 24:19Speaker 4: show this guy what it is. Because it's been that,
- 24:22Speaker 4: it seems like, a little bit against the Packers this year, but.
- 24:25Speaker 2: I'm not really sure.
- 24:25Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 24:27Speaker 3: The Patriots, I'm telling you, man, they get after the quarterback.
- 24:31Speaker 3: They definitely can with Milton Williams. They brought in for
- 24:35Speaker 3: a reason, and he came off of a Super Bowl
- 24:38Speaker 3: MVP or a Super Bowl-esque run with the Philadelphia Eagles,
- 24:43Speaker 3: and he was a stud in that game and in
- 24:46Speaker 3: that run to the Super Bowl. He cashed in big time,
- 24:49Speaker 3: and he led them the same way last year. But
- 24:52Speaker 3: this Jackis kid, Drew, you're going to watch him I mean,
- 24:55Speaker 3: he just flies around the edge. He is as nonstop
- 24:59Speaker 3: and frustrating and pesky as any pass rusher. The good
- 25:03Speaker 3: thing is, no Romeo Dobbs. I don't know if they're
- 25:06Speaker 3: going to have A.J. Brown coming up in this game.
- 25:09Speaker 3: They did not have him last week, and also Hunter
- 25:11Speaker 3: Henry checked out of last week's game late for the Patriots.
- 25:15Speaker 3: So we'll see when the injury report comes out there
- 25:17Speaker 3: from Foxborough coming up in a little while.
- 25:19Speaker 6: Here's a hot take pertaining to this Sunday's affair in Foxborough.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Come on, let me hear it.
- 25:24Speaker 6: The Packers made the right choice handing the GM keys
- 25:27Speaker 6: to Brian Gutekunst over Elliot Wolfe.
- 25:30Speaker 2: That's a hot take, but I kind of like it.
- 25:35Speaker 6: And I like Elliot Wolfe. He's obviously got a team
- 25:38Speaker 6: to a Super Bowl. But there's just something about, I
- 25:41Speaker 6: don't know, man, just being where you grew up and stuff,
- 25:44Speaker 6: there's something about moving on. He spent a time in
- 25:46Speaker 6: Cleveland before he got to New England, right? There's something
- 25:49Speaker 6: about spreading your wings and being in other places and
- 25:52Speaker 6: not just where you you grew up.
- 25:54Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:54Speaker 2: I think that's, I think that's a very, very well
- 25:57Speaker 2: taken spot.
- 25:58Speaker 3: Yes.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 25:59Speaker 6: And they're similar. I, you know, as good as our
- 26:03Speaker 6: boy Riggs is, you know, number one on the, I
- 26:06Speaker 6: was going to.
- 26:06Speaker 3: Say out of town, you know, there's always going to
- 26:09Speaker 3: be the parade, the ones that are going to be
- 26:10Speaker 3: frustrated about the misses. But so your point, Does Evan
- 26:14Speaker 3: Williams as a fourth-round pick make up for what you
- 26:16Speaker 3: maybe missed on in a first-rounder if you get an
- 26:19Speaker 3: all-pro like that wherever he comes in?
- 26:20Speaker 2: I always say that, yeah.
- 26:21Speaker 6: I look at the draft as a whole, and I
- 26:23Speaker 6: don't put too much on the first and seconds because
- 26:25Speaker 6: the year that Bakhtiari was a fourth, he.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Played like a first. Didn't matter, yeah.
- 26:30Speaker 6: So I lump them all in together like that. I
- 26:32Speaker 6: know some people say that's real quaint and cute of
- 26:34Speaker 6: me to do that because first-round picks are more precious,
- 26:37Speaker 6: but to me.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Find a player.
- 26:39Speaker 3: Scouting is scouting. If you've got a player, does it matter?
- 26:42Speaker 3: I'm fine with whenever they come in. The thing about Wolf, too, Drew,
- 26:46Speaker 3: to your point, like, okay, you win a Super Bowl,
- 26:50Speaker 3: for sure, you're always going to be a made man.
- 26:52Speaker 3: But to a point, that was the only thing he
- 26:54Speaker 3: would have been able to do in Green Bay for
- 26:56Speaker 3: people to almost not cast the same shadow over him
- 26:58Speaker 3: from his head.
- 27:00Speaker 2: The thought of, well, he's a Wolf, so.
- 27:02Speaker 3: He's obviously going to be great. And I think he is.
- 27:04Speaker 3: I think he's a very good personnel guy. But they're
- 27:08Speaker 3: you know, web that they've weaved there in new England.
- 27:11Speaker 3: Some of it also fell in their lap. I mean
- 27:14Speaker 3: like Drake may kind of falls in their lap. There
- 27:16Speaker 3: are three true and sweet. We'll take the third of
- 27:19Speaker 3: the quarterbacks who might end up being the best one
- 27:23Speaker 3: out of all of them.
- 27:23Speaker 1: I don't know. Like, yeah.
- 27:24Speaker 3: So some of it ends up being, being fortune. I, I,
- 27:30Speaker 3: I think the jury is still so out.
- 27:33Speaker 2: On Goody because of what I just mentioned.
- 27:35Speaker 3: I don't know that anybody's going to give him full
- 27:36Speaker 3: credit or the full flowers he deserves if they don't
- 27:39Speaker 3: hoist a trophy, which is a hell of a benchmark
- 27:41Speaker 3: to be held.
- 27:42Speaker 4: We look at the shiny objects when it comes to
- 27:44Speaker 4: sports fans. When it comes to judging those things, Super
- 27:47Speaker 4: Bowl or not, that's what it comes down to.
- 27:49Speaker 6: So when they were promoted under Ted Wolf, Elliot Wolf
- 27:54Speaker 6: was director of football ops and Goody was, his title was,
- 27:57Speaker 6: I think, director of player personnel.
- 27:59Speaker 2: That sounds right.
- 27:59Speaker 4: Yep.
- 28:00Speaker 6: And then when he got the GM job, Goody offered Elliot,
- 28:03Speaker 6: the chance to be his right-hand man and stay. He said, no,
- 28:06Speaker 6: I didn't get the job because he felt like it
- 28:08Speaker 6: was me or you, and then one of us has
- 28:10Speaker 6: to go. And I know the guy that I like
- 28:13Speaker 6: and wish would have maybe gotten down as John Schneider.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Yes. That's a dude now.
- 28:19Speaker 6: There's a guy who grew up in De Pere, so
- 28:21Speaker 6: I'm contradicting myself, but his dad isn't on the ring
- 28:24Speaker 6: of honor.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not your birthright into the organization. You're right there.
- 28:29Speaker 2: The name did carry a lot of weight. There's no question.
- 28:31Speaker 6: But John Schneider's been hugely successful and proven and is
- 28:35Speaker 6: a good dude. They're all good dudes, and I think
- 28:37Speaker 6: any one of them could have been the steward and
- 28:39Speaker 6: would have done fine. But it's like when I just
- 28:42Speaker 6: thought that extra layer of, you know, I don't want
- 28:46Speaker 6: to say baggage, but the advantage or disadvantage of carrying
- 28:50Speaker 6: that last name and being a, a Nepo baby per se, like,
- 28:54Speaker 6: you know, people in new England don't think of them as, Oh,
- 28:56Speaker 6: that's Ronald's.
- 28:57Speaker 3: Cause the only reason he's got the job, like they,
- 28:59Speaker 3: they don't, he doesn't have that. I think I'd call
- 29:01Speaker 3: it as baggage drew. Cause it's not necessarily a bad
- 29:03Speaker 3: thing or a good, not necessarily a bad thing, but
- 29:06Speaker 3: it's just something that would always be around. It would,
- 29:09Speaker 3: it would linger there to your point. It's not going
- 29:12Speaker 3: to come up here. And also he gets more shine
- 29:15Speaker 3: there because he technically, he's technically the GM. He makes
- 29:21Speaker 3: the decision, but I don't know if he fully has
- 29:23Speaker 3: final say on the roster.
- 29:24Speaker 6: I don't think so.
- 29:25Speaker 3: I think Vrabel technically does, which makes his a day three,
- 29:29Speaker 3: not suspension absence from the draft absence from the draft,
- 29:33Speaker 3: you know, to go and have that, that personal time
- 29:35Speaker 3: with his family to go and make amends for some
- 29:38Speaker 3: stay in Arizona. You have a guy that is taking
- 29:43Speaker 3: full control there, but Goody and the interesting thing about
- 29:47Speaker 3: how he's lived a couple of lives as the GM drew, he's,
- 29:51Speaker 3: kind of course corrected a couple of different ways, right?
- 29:54Speaker 3: Like they were the oldest team in football at the
- 29:56Speaker 3: end of the Rogers regime. Now they wanted to be
- 29:59Speaker 3: more rough and tough. And I don't know necessarily that
- 30:01Speaker 3: it worked on the offensive line with certain moves that
- 30:04Speaker 3: you've made, but he's gone, been able to, you know,
- 30:08Speaker 3: change course. And that's not something you usually get in
- 30:10Speaker 3: that job. You either get one chance at it, or
- 30:14Speaker 3: you don't necessarily get to grow and develop into it.
- 30:17Speaker 3: There've been a ton of guys though, that have come
- 30:19Speaker 3: out of that tree. You mentioned John Schneider. Obviously, John
- 30:21Speaker 3: Dorsey is the name of it. Alonzo Highsmith is still
- 30:24Speaker 3: one of those names that I've always loved to be
- 30:26Speaker 3: able to bring up. Reggie McKenzie, his stay in Las
- 30:30Speaker 3: Vegas or in Oakland at the time wasn't glamorous, but
- 30:33Speaker 3: it wasn't necessarily all his fault that I don't know
- 30:37Speaker 3: that that spot was anywhere anyone was going to win
- 30:40Speaker 3: at that particular point when Reggie McKenzie took it over.
- 30:42Speaker 2: There's a lot of good names, but I think I'd
- 30:44Speaker 2: be with you there on that one. I just think.
- 30:46Speaker 6: That was a headache you didn't need, and I don't
- 30:49Speaker 6: know if that went into the Packers' decision or not.
- 30:51Speaker 3: I think maybe subconsciously. I don't know that they would
- 30:57Speaker 3: ever set it out loud, but I would struggle to
- 31:00Speaker 3: think they didn't think about it when naming that one up.
- 31:03Speaker 3: How about another one for the hot take variety. Your friend,
- 31:09Speaker 3: our friend, Bob Nightingale. He was on the foul territory
- 31:12Speaker 3: show coming up earlier on today. He's talking about the
- 31:16Speaker 3: bids for Tarek Scooble. That it's got to start over
- 31:19Speaker 3: Yamamoto's record-breaking $ 325 million contract. He goes, I would think
- 31:23Speaker 3: that the Dodgers are close. So you'd go back to LA.
- 31:26Speaker 3: I think my hot take is I want him to
- 31:28Speaker 3: go to the Dodgers.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Interesting.
- 31:30Speaker 3: I want Scooble to stay with the Dodgers. I want
- 31:33Speaker 3: that evil empire to continue to roll through. I want
- 31:36Speaker 3: that to continue to fester and linger. Whatever ends up
- 31:42Speaker 3: happening with the CBA, they're not going to have a
- 31:44Speaker 3: salary cap, at least in my humble opinion. There will
- 31:46Speaker 3: be some maturations, maybe some changes, but there will still
- 31:50Speaker 3: be the evil empire that can spend more money than
- 31:51Speaker 3: everybody else.
- 31:52Speaker 2: Stay with the Dodgers. Enjoy it. Because I want that.
- 31:56Speaker 3: evil empire to remain and the death star to still
- 32:00Speaker 3: be the calling card. I don't want there to ever
- 32:02Speaker 3: be any nice lovable factor for LA. Keep spending more
- 32:06Speaker 3: money than everybody else. Keep making people despise you. And
- 32:10Speaker 3: make it even more sweet when you end up beating
- 32:12Speaker 3: them again.
- 32:12Speaker 4: Especially because it seems like it would upset the Cubs
- 32:15Speaker 4: because they seem to want him pretty bad.
- 32:16Speaker 2: Might be the other biggest reason. And I got to say,
- 32:20Speaker 2: I get that line of thinking. I kind of like that.
- 32:22Speaker 4: My hot take is almost like I almost want him
- 32:24Speaker 4: to go to the Cubs because I don't see any
- 32:26Speaker 4: way that they're going to all of a sudden be
- 32:28Speaker 4: over the top just to get one extra guy. And
- 32:30Speaker 4: that contract would be so oppressive. We're talking about like
- 32:34Speaker 4: 45 million plus AAV for one guy. I think that
- 32:38Speaker 4: would be such an oppressive contract. I almost think that I'm,
- 32:41Speaker 4: let's put it this way. If he goes to the Cubs,
- 32:43Speaker 4: I'm not going to be too nervous about it because
- 32:45Speaker 4: they have a lot of work to do in the rotation.
- 32:47Speaker 2: And okay.
- 32:48Speaker 4: Yeah. Scooble is Scooble, but that what he's going to
- 32:51Speaker 4: command and the risks that brings upon it are, are crazy.
- 32:55Speaker 4: Now you're right, Billy. Like it's already the devil, you know,
- 32:57Speaker 4: with the Dodgers anyway. And I think he'll end up
- 32:59Speaker 4: going there because it seems like he really wants to
- 33:01Speaker 4: be a Dodger or enjoyed being a Dodger.
- 33:03Speaker 2: And they're going to.
- 33:04Speaker 4: Probably put up the money. But I'm one that doesn't
- 33:09Speaker 4: want to give out a contract like that. So wherever
- 33:11Speaker 4: he goes, yeah. It's not going to break my heart
- 33:15Speaker 4: either way. It's going to be Cubs or Dodgers maybe,
- 33:17Speaker 4: or maybe Mets.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Let them pay. That's my hot take. I'm feeling myself
- 33:22Speaker 2: because we just won the way we did. Could be.
- 33:25Speaker 6: While we've been chatting here, Micah Parsons met with some
- 33:28Speaker 6: of our friends in the Packers locker room.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Now we're talking.
- 33:31Speaker 6: Said that his knee feels great, really great.
- 33:36Speaker 2: However.
- 33:36Speaker 6: Uh-oh.
- 33:37Speaker 2: I don't like that.
- 33:39Speaker 6: However, he did say he's not going to pinpoint a
- 33:42Speaker 6: day where he can return to disappoint anyone or give
- 33:45Speaker 6: people expectations that I can't meet.
- 33:48Speaker 2: So he's not saying.
- 33:49Speaker 6: Everybody's saying we're connecting the dots.
- 33:51Speaker 2: Well, it's the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. It's so far, right?
- 33:54Speaker 2: Not necessarily. Let's see. Okay. Well, now.
- 33:59Speaker 6: Again, because when he went down, he said, I'll be
- 34:01Speaker 6: back in September. And then he quickly realized, well, that,
- 34:04Speaker 6: that wasn't going to happen.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 34:05Speaker 3: I following his brother for updates on Micah's condition, some
- 34:09Speaker 3: smart awareness on his part of realizing that wasn't going
- 34:11Speaker 3: to happen. I just, I also wonder how much the
- 34:15Speaker 3: surface plays a part into these, but if it's a
- 34:18Speaker 3: turf thing out there in LA, then they're going to
- 34:20Speaker 3: wait another week and a half. And then they're going
- 34:22Speaker 3: to go to new Orleans. That's also going to be
- 34:25Speaker 3: turf in the superdome. Like if that's the problem. Then
- 34:28Speaker 3: you're only giving yourself five weeks to be ready and
- 34:33Speaker 3: at your absolute best for hopefully getting into the playoffs.
- 34:37Speaker 3: We're going to need your best into that final stretch
- 34:40Speaker 3: of games because you're going to face off against Josh Allen,
- 34:42Speaker 3: Caleb Williams, the Lions again, whatever the Texans are at
- 34:46Speaker 3: that point.
- 34:48Speaker 2: That's a tough one. All right. I like the calmness, though, Micah.
- 34:51Speaker 2: I like your headiness. I just don't like the statement.
- 34:54Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 34:55Speaker 3: Let's say November 25th. We're playing it so far. Netflix,
- 35:00Speaker 3: start the promos now. I like that one a little
- 35:03Speaker 3: bit better.
- 35:03Speaker 2: I like it. I like it. Keep them coming. 877-794-1973.
- 35:07Speaker 6: Need your hot takes. We'll have our superhero of the
- 35:11Speaker 6: day coming up. Shanna Quinn is going to drop on by.
- 35:13Speaker 6: She's always a hero.
- 35:14Speaker 2: El Jefe is going to drop on by as well.
- 35:16Speaker 2: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 35:24Speaker 5: First is just understanding that, you know, I got to
- 35:27Speaker 5: get into more of a football shape and integrating into
- 35:31Speaker 5: snaps and reps and over these next 21 days. And
- 35:34Speaker 5: then just feel like we're at a really good spot where,
- 35:37Speaker 5: you know, they're really just to let me go. Um,
- 35:40Speaker 5: you know, me and Nate been back and forth on it.
- 35:42Speaker 5: And it's kind of just how you feel and every
- 35:46Speaker 5: day taking each step. Like this is every day. It's
- 35:48Speaker 5: not like, Hey, we feel good today. And then we
- 35:51Speaker 5: feel crappy tomorrow. It's like, we want to feel good
- 35:54Speaker 5: every day. And keep stacking days together so that way
- 35:58Speaker 5: the day that I have in mind and the day
- 36:00Speaker 5: he has in mind, we're ready to play.
- 36:04Speaker 6: Micah Parsons bringing us back to Huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew, Billy,
- 36:08Speaker 6: and Armin on a hot take hump day.
- 36:11Speaker 3: That is one of the best things to be able
- 36:13Speaker 3: to find out that you're going to be having him
- 36:16Speaker 3: at some point back on the field, at some point
- 36:19Speaker 3: feeling 100%. Drew said he feels great. Did kind of
- 36:24Speaker 3: allude to there was a moment where it didn't feel
- 36:26Speaker 3: great there for a second. Interesting to hear from him,
- 36:29Speaker 3: I admit.
- 36:29Speaker 6: I want to have good days and stack good days, too.
- 36:32Speaker 2: Got to. Exactly. I want to feel good every day. Well,
- 36:34Speaker 2: you know places that they can help you out with

- 37:07Speaker 2: So it's that easy. It's that simple. It couldn't be simpler.
- 37:09Speaker 6: The only way it'd be simpler is if I picked
- 37:11Speaker 6: you up and drove you to a location, and I'm
- 37:13Speaker 6: not doing that.
- 37:14Speaker 2: I was going to say. Although I might. No, it
- 37:15Speaker 2: shouldn't happen.
- 37:16Speaker 6: I might, but if I have to pick up an
- 37:19Speaker 6: Uber shift or two.
- 37:20Speaker 2: Why not? The holidays are coming up.
- 37:23Speaker 3: You start taking more of my advice over at Pottawatomie
- 37:26Speaker 3: tomorrow for the Thursday Night Huddle.
- 37:27Speaker 6: And you start buying more Brewers merch. You need to
- 37:30Speaker 6: pick up side hustles.
- 37:31Speaker 2: We've got to pay for this merch. We've got to
- 37:32Speaker 2: pay for this gear. And more tickets, too.
- 37:35Speaker 6: I've talked to a few people who bought season tickets,
- 37:38Speaker 6: packages for the Brewers, just to get the playoff tickets.
- 37:41Speaker 3: See, that was smart.
- 37:42Speaker 4: That would have been a smart investment. That would have
- 37:44Speaker 4: been a smart investment. Smart thing to do. I should
- 37:47Speaker 4: have done that.
- 37:48Speaker 6: We got five guys that work here with us. We
- 37:50Speaker 6: could have split a 20-pack.
- 37:53Speaker 2: Totally could have. We could have made so much money.
- 37:55Speaker 2: That would have been fun. I remember there was an
- 37:56Speaker 2: old Home Improvement episode. Harvey would have been mad at us, though,
- 37:58Speaker 2: for selling the tickets. Or just splitting up what games.
- 38:01Speaker 6: Yeah, then you have the draft of games.
- 38:03Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
- 38:04Speaker 4: There was an old great Home Improvement episode when I
- 38:06Speaker 4: was a kid. where Tim Alley all did that. They
- 38:08Speaker 4: all got together for the Pistons. They all bought, like,
- 38:10Speaker 4: they had to decide who gets which games. That would
- 38:12Speaker 4: have been fun.
- 38:13Speaker 2: It's like a fantasy draft. Getting together, right, Billy? Your
- 38:16Speaker 2: favorite part of it.
- 38:16Speaker 3: Yeah, my favorite part. They did that in the movie
- 38:20Speaker 3: Fever Pitch, too, where Jimmy Fallon's like, everybody gets to
- 38:23Speaker 3: pick what game they get to go with me. What
- 38:26Speaker 3: a great main character spot to be in. Everybody gets
- 38:28Speaker 3: to tell me when they want to hang out with me.
- 38:30Speaker 4: By the way, this isn't really like a hot take,
- 38:31Speaker 4: but Fever Pitch was the answer of a trivia question.
- 38:34Speaker 4: That during the playoffs I was looking for because I
- 38:37Speaker 4: was trying to think of like different ways to kind
- 38:39Speaker 4: of offset my anxiety and stuff. And my thought was
- 38:43Speaker 4: I couldn't think of one baseball movie in which the
- 38:45Speaker 4: end of the movie they won the World Series. They
- 38:48Speaker 4: had always won like the division or the pennant maybe
- 38:51Speaker 4: or a big game or like achieve something, you know,
- 38:55Speaker 4: like a perfect game. And I was trying to tell myself,
- 38:57Speaker 4: we've already lived our dream. We made the World Series.
- 38:59Speaker 4: And then someone brought up Fever Pitch, where they did
- 39:01Speaker 4: win the World Series. However, that was not part of
- 39:03Speaker 4: the original script.
- 39:04Speaker 2: That's right.
- 39:05Speaker 3: It wasn't.
- 39:05Speaker 2: It's funny you brought that up, because I was thinking
- 39:07Speaker 2: about that.
- 39:08Speaker 4: I could not think of any baseball movie in which
- 39:11Speaker 4: the final climax was actually, pause, winning a World Series.
- 39:16Speaker 2: No, it was after fourth base in Major League.
- 39:18Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 39:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. It was division. It was one game playoff.
- 39:22Speaker 2: Major League Two was winning the pennant.
- 39:24Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 39:25Speaker 2: And so you brought that up. I appreciate it.
- 39:26Speaker 6: Badger's Bears lost the championship game.
- 39:28Speaker 2: They lost that one. I remember.
- 39:30Speaker 4: Little Big League, Ken Griffey robbed them for their chance
- 39:33Speaker 4: to get the wild card.
- 39:34Speaker 2: Rookie of the year, it's just the division.
- 39:36Speaker 4: Yes.
- 39:36Speaker 3: I'm going down to sit in the seats to watch
- 39:38Speaker 3: you win us the division.
- 39:40Speaker 2: That was it. It was the one-game playoff against the Mets. However.
- 39:43Speaker 2: Selling the Cracker Jacks.
- 39:44Speaker 4: They do imply they win the World Series because I
- 39:46Speaker 4: think Henry shows a ring at the end.
- 39:49Speaker 2: With World Series champs.
- 39:50Speaker 3: Oh, you're right.
- 39:51Speaker 2: They do.
- 39:52Speaker 4: They don't shoot it, and it's not a scene. They
- 39:54Speaker 4: don't show it, but they imply it. So I guess
- 39:56Speaker 4: that's the closest.
- 39:56Speaker 2: Because they knew at that point. It was like, we're
- 39:58Speaker 2: going to go all the way. So it's like, yeah.
- 40:00Speaker 2: But that was a little fun diversion that you brought
- 40:03Speaker 2: up in my mind. I appreciate that. All right.
- 40:05Speaker 6: Who's our current electric superhero of the day? Brought to

- 40:19Speaker 3: ACL and meniscus. We kind of forget about the meniscus
- 40:23Speaker 3: one in there as well. Not to be forgotten about,
- 40:26Speaker 3: he was a limited participant today as he opened up
- 40:28Speaker 3: his window. The rest of the Packers injury report came
- 40:32Speaker 3: out here today. The only DNPs drew Zaire Franklin, Travis Glover,
- 40:36Speaker 3: Sean Ryan, and Josh Wiley with that concussion. Limited with

- 41:35Speaker 3: but don't you believe he could find a way to
- 41:37Speaker 3: figure it out? Like if he got down there, he's like,
- 41:39Speaker 3: I bet I can figure this thing out. I mean like, no,
- 41:41Speaker 3: he's not going to be the one, but I bet

- 41:46Speaker 3: you believe in you can do just about anything right now?
- 41:48Speaker 2: I don't think he believes he can't do it. All right,
- 41:50Speaker 2: I do have, if you have.
- 41:51Speaker 4: Time to indulge me for an honorable mention for superhero
- 41:54Speaker 4: of the day, we're not the only one with a
- 41:55Speaker 4: parade around here.
- 41:56Speaker 2: The Golden State Valkyries. That's fair.
- 41:58Speaker 4: Yes, they're partying. And they're partying today. And this guy
- 42:01Speaker 4: is an honorable mention. This guy, I think, what did
- 42:03Speaker 4: he do here?
- 42:04Speaker 2: I'm a teacher.
- 42:04Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
- 42:05Speaker 2: I teach at Pittsburgh.
- 42:06Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
- 42:07Speaker 2: I took a PTO day.
- 42:08Speaker 5: I'm good.
- 42:09Speaker 4: Valk's in seven because Ball Hollow was heaven.
- 42:11Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 42:13Speaker 2: The guy that took a PTO day for the parade.
- 42:15Speaker 3: 2007 because Valhalla was heaven.
- 42:18Speaker 2: He said he was from Pittsburgh.
- 42:20Speaker 4: So if he took a PTO day and flew from
- 42:22Speaker 4: Pittsburgh to go.
- 42:24Speaker 2: To the parade. That's a real fan right there. That's
- 42:27Speaker 2: a real fan. That's a hero. I'm sure it's going
- 42:29Speaker 2: to be popping the parade. I don't know what the
- 42:30Speaker 2: numbers will be like, but.
- 42:31Speaker 6: There are some who questioned MPS's decision to shut down
- 42:36Speaker 6: in local districts, who shut down for the first time.
- 42:38Speaker 2: People that questioned that?
- 42:39Speaker 3: There were.
- 42:39Speaker 2: What were you going to do?
- 42:40Speaker 6: But I heard from somebody that there was a local
- 42:43Speaker 6: school district that had like 35 teachers call out.
- 42:45Speaker 2: Yeah, what were you going to do?
- 42:48Speaker 6: How do you even have school anyway when the entire,
- 42:50Speaker 6: how many subs are there?
- 42:51Speaker 2: We don't have enough subs. All right, we're all going
- 42:53Speaker 2: into the gym to watch the parade. How do the
- 42:54Speaker 2: buses get through? Did you imagine they walk over to
- 42:56Speaker 2: Quick Trip? Hey, anybody want to make $ 100.
- 42:58Speaker 4: In substitute today, teach math? How do the buses go through?
- 43:02Speaker 4: I mean, I know you're just wheeling in the VCR.
- 43:04Speaker 4: I don't know what the version of that is now. Oh, yeah,
- 43:06Speaker 4: you just put it up on a smart board.
- 43:08Speaker 2: I mean, come on, though. Like, how are the buses
