Custom Green Bay Packers Talk Radio Podcast

Aaron Rodgers says he thought he was done in Pittsburgh once Mike Tomlin left — then McCarthy got hired and here we are. One last rodeo. Ryan's genuinely entertained. The Browns quarterback situation is objectively hilarious. Deshaun Watson is operating as the starter. Dylan Gabriel is second in line. Shedeur Sanders — the guy most people assumed would start — is third. Dylan Gabriel, by the way, had the NFL's lowest EPA per dropback in 2025. Just ahead of Shedeur Sanders. Then: a deep dive into Tucker Kraft, sparked by a Hayden Hicks chart showing Kraft with the second-highest yards per target in football. Bears fans lost their minds. Ryan lost his patience. He pulled every stat he could find — 4.16 yards per route run in man coverage (nearly double second place), 158.3 passer rating when targeted in man coverage, 17 targets, 14 catches, 241 yards, four TDs. The guy who supposedly "can't beat man coverage" is the best man-coverage tight end in the NFL. Ryan would like Bears fans to bring receipts next time. Also: Marlon Jones full profile (cancer survivor, Eastern Washington to Vanderbilt, UDFA), Eagles locker room chaos, and the case for staying off social media and just putting it on the podcast instead.save 

Pack Nation, it's another late night in the Packernet After Dark call-in booth — and the callers brought everything. From Jaire Alexander's mental health journey to the Packers' historically brutal injury luck to whether Beer Cheese Benny is raising his kids right (he absolutely is), this one covers the full spectrum of what it means to be a die-hard Packer fan.

Three tracks from Brick tonight, covering a wide range of moods. First: After Dark — a horror segment where the call-in show goes full supernatural. White noise, mirrors showing reflections that aren't there, callers leaving armadillo eggs that bleed. Brick warns: some frequencies were never meant to be tuned in. Then: Why Go to the Library — an ode to AI convenience that collapses the moment the router blinks red. ChatGPT, Claude, no pants required. Until the Wi-Fi dies and you're back in 1983 wandering the stacks. And finally: Zack Tom's Historic Deal. $88 million over five years, $30.2 million guaranteed — the biggest offensive lineman bonus the Packers have ever handed out. Fourth-round pick 140 became the vault door. Brick counts the gold.

They want Big Sal to panic about the defense. He's not panicking. He's done the research. This offense finished fourth in expected points added per play in 2025 — while Tucker Kraft missed time, Christian Watson missed half the year, Jaden Reed missed half the year, Josh Jacobs played on one working leg from November on, and Clayton Tune took actual NFL snaps. Strip out the Clayton Tune disaster and this offense was tied for number one in efficiency in the entire NFL. Through all that carnage. Now it's 2026. Craft is back. Watson is healthy. Reed is healthy. Jacobs has two working legs. Golden is a thing. It's a complete offense for the first time in a very long time, and Sal wants to know why exactly Packer Nation is panicking about the first four games without Micah Parsons. The defense will be shorthanded early. That's real. But the schedule gave Green Bay a runway — Vikings, Jets, Falcons, Buccaneers — and this offense doesn't need to be flashy. It needs to be surgical, eat clock, and keep opposing offenses on the sideline. Josh Jacobs scored 31 touchdowns in 34 games on a busted knee. Jordan Love is genuinely elite. Micah Parsons is coming back in October like a freight train that was briefly delayed at the station. Big Sal's calling it. The window is open.

A lot happened at the NFL owner's meeting and Ryan's got all of it. Nashville officially gets Super Bowl 64 in 2030. Minnesota gets the 2028 draft — good news for Packer fans within driving distance. International games are expanding to 10 per season starting in 2027, with Goodell eyeing 16 eventually. Ryan's cautiously okay with the expansion until someone says Japan, at which point he's fully on board and also realizes he'll never actually go. The Bears got a special briefing on their stadium situation, because the other 31 owners apparently need a progress report on why Chicago still doesn't know where their team plays. The only two viable options remain Arlington Heights and Hammond, Indiana — meaning the days of Bears fans talking trash about small-town Wisconsin are officially over. Ryan has thoughts. Also: Rashee Rice is in jail after a marijuana violation voided his deferred sentencing. Josh Sweat is unhappy in Arizona, Ganon is in Green Bay, and Ryan does the math on what a third-round pick for a number-three edge rusher might look like. He's making that call. And finally — the Packers briefly discussed bringing Davante Adams back before it went nowhere, and they signed Vanderbilt DB Marlon Jones, who beat stage-three Hodgkin's lymphoma last year and is the feel-good story of the offseason.

The schedule's out and the After Dark crew has opinions. Chris from Alabama likes the bye week placement and is already planning his trip to the Week 13 game. Kyle from Madison calls the first four weeks "layups" and dubs the Packers' social media aesthetic "local car dealership." Uncle Rico checks in from Nashville, where apparently the working part of a work trip takes a backseat to downtown. Batman breaks the season into sections and lands on 12-5. And then there are four separate Nico appearances — covering Micah's return timeline, the offensive ceiling with a healthy roster, the possibility that the NFL used AI to build the schedule, and a full-throated Christmas Day declaration that Ryan mostly agrees with. Between all of that: a deep dive into which schedule release videos worked (the Simpsons one, the Chiefs infomercial) and which ones were embarrassing (the Lions — your coach pinned a piece of paper to a board and left), a reminder that OTAs start next week, and a closing note on fan expectations: good teams lose games, so let's try to appreciate the good ones when they come.

Brick's going into the archive tonight. Three tracks, three different moods. First up: August Heat and Tempers Rise, pulled from last preseason when the timeline was on fire over dropped passes and vanilla scheme. Brick logged the panic when it was loud. He's playing it back now that everyone who was loudest in August has gone quiet about what they said in August. Then: Second City Blues. Brick has nothing against the city of Chicago — beautiful architecture, great skyline, Lakeshore Drive is worth seeing before you die. Their football team, however, is a civic embarrassment. Their pizza is a casserole. The song documents both positions thoroughly. And finally: Green Bay Grotesque. Written in 7/8 time. Contains a brass section. Uses the phrase "diminished and strained" to describe a wide receiver's hamstring. Brick has been waiting for the right moment to air it. He decided tonight was the moment.

The off season is over. Brian Gutekunst made his moves. Big Sal has grades. Free agency gets a B minus — Javan Hargrave was sharp, Benjamin St. Juste was necessary, Skymore on returns was overdue. But Sal isn't handing out gold stars for cleaning up your own mess. The Aaron Banks restructure and the Nate Hobbs disaster are on the same ledger, and you don't get credit for both sides of that equation. Extensions get an A minus. Jaden Reed locked up, Sean Clifford rewarded for improvement, Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft still coming. Trades land at C plus (Rashan Gary) and B (Zaire Franklin). And the draft — six picks, the fewest of Gutekunst's entire tenure — might be the best class he's ever run. Brandon Cise, Chris McClellan, Dennis Sutton at 120 (Sal calls it stolen), Trey Smack. The man stopped stockpiling and started building. Big picture: this team is better at linebacker, corner, defensive interior, and special teams than the one that walked off the field in Chicago down 21-3 and somehow still lost. Overall grade: B plus. Would've been an A if last year's wreckage wasn't still in the rear view.

Instead of doing the standard win/loss prediction everyone else does, Ryan handed the 2026 Packers schedule to multiple AIs — Grok, Claude, and ChatGPT — and had them simulate the season week by week, complete with final scores, key plays, and the reason the Packers won or lost each game. Three of the four models landed at exactly 11-6. What came out isn't just a schedule prediction — it's an accidental portrait of what being a Packer fan feels like every year. The Week 1 loss in Minnesota that sends everyone into full panic. The Jets win that doesn't really count. The Micah Parsons homecoming game against the Bears. The Rams loss on two costly interceptions that breaks everybody. The Bills loss at home that makes you question everything. The Christmas Day win in Chicago that brings everyone back. And then the Week 18 loss to Detroit on a missed field goal that sends you into the playoffs feeling somehow both good and terrible about 11-6. Ryan's takeaway: there's no combination of six losses that feels good. But 11-6 is 11-6, the off season is actually kind of relaxing, and the regular season is going to be exactly this — all of it — whether you're ready or not.

Big Sal has something to say about the NFL scheduling the Packers at Soldier Field on Christmas Day. On Netflix. At noon. Against the Bears. He's not happy about the disrespect. He's not happy about Ben Johnson's mouth. He's not happy about the league handing Chicago a national stage after one lucky wild card comeback where the Packers led 21-3 and somehow lost. What he IS happy about — deliriously, dangerously happy about — is that the NFL just handed Green Bay the perfect stage to shove that collapse right back down Chicago's throat on the holiest day of the year. The bears are paper tigers with good timing once. Micah Parsons is in Green Bay now. December 25th, Soldier Field, the whole country watching. Big Sal is calling it early: that's not a gift for Chicago. That's a setup. Merry Christmas, Ben Johnson. You earned this one.

Brick Lombardi takes the chair tonight on Tundra FM with three tracks, one night, and the kind of honesty only thirty years in radio can deliver. It opens with a goodbye — a song for number 23, Jaire Alexander, the kid from Louisville who walked into this league and made receivers miserable for seven Pro Bowl-caliber years. Brick isn't litigating the contract or pretending he knows what happened behind closed doors at 1265 Lombardi Avenue. He's just acknowledging what the man meant before moving the show along.

Ryan dives into one of the most emotional stories of the offseason as Jaire Alexander finally tells his side in a raw, vulnerable Players' Tribune piece — and Pack Daddy walks through the highs, the lows, and the mental health battle that led to him stepping away from football. Plus, the latest Packers rookie contract news, the Micah Parsons PUP list buzz, and a brutal reality check for Vikings fans who've been shoving Jordan Addison down our throats.

The 2026 NFL schedule is out, and Packernet After Dark is breaking it all down in real time with Pack Nation calling in from every corner of the country. Pack Daddy walks through why this schedule might be the most gracious setup the league has handed Green Bay in years — a soft early runway while Micah Parsons is presumed out, the Bears at Lambeau in Week 5 for his return game, a perfectly placed Week 11 bye, and a five-game home stretch heading into the playoffs. But not everything is sunshine and cheese curds.

Big Sal hasn't slept. Big Sal hasn't eaten. Big Sal has been pacing the living room since the 2026 Packers schedule hit the wire — and Pack Nation, he's got things to say. From the brutal road-heavy start to a Wednesday-night Thanksgiving Eve game on Netflix, this schedule is a STORM and Sal is here to walk you through every dropped flake of it.

The 2026 NFL schedule is finally out, and Pack Daddy is breaking down every single matchup on the Green Bay Packers slate. From a Week 1 trip to Minnesota to a home finale showdown with Detroit, this year's schedule looks tailor-made for a championship push — six prime time games, the first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game against the Rams, and a five-game home stretch to close the season. But the road to get there runs through some of the toughest teams in football.

Pack Nation — Big Sal is PACING. It is eleven in the morning, the schedule does not officially drop until seven tonight, and the leaks are pouring in like a busted dam. Big Sal cannot wait. He has got coffee, three browser tabs open, a buzzing phone, and a carpet that is officially finished. Strap in — this is the schedule leak reaction in real time.

Pack Nation, the NFL just dropped the Christmas gift nobody saw coming — and somebody got coal. The 2026 schedule release is official, and the Green Bay Packers are heading to Soldier Field on Christmas Day for a Week 16 showdown with the Chicago Bears. Pack Daddy breaks down what this primetime holiday matchup means for Green Bay's playoff push, the NFC North race, and Jonathan Gannon's defense in its first full season under center.

Pack Daddy is digging into the 2026 schedule release breadcrumbs, the latest Packers waiver wire moves, and a full statistical case for why Christian Watson belongs in the top 10 wide receiver conversation. Pack Nation, this is the kind of analytical deep dive the mainstream media isn't doing on the Green Bay receiver room.

Pack Daddy is back in the late-night chair and Pack Nation showed up swinging. Tonight's edition of Packernet After Dark tackles the dumbest takes floating around social media, the upcoming 2026 schedule release, and why the Jordan Love hate has officially crossed into clown territory.

BREAKING NEWS out of the NFL offices — the Green Bay Packers are headed to primetime in a way we've never seen before. For the first time in league history, the NFL will play a Thanksgiving Eve game, and Pack Nation is at the center of it. Jordan Love and the Packers are set to square off against Sean McVay's Los Angeles Rams in what could be one of the most-watched regular season games of the year. We break down what this means for the franchise, the fans, and the road to January.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is pacing a hole in the carpet and he's got a handwritten list. The 2026 NFL schedule drops tomorrow night at 7 PM central, and Sal has SIX hopes for Pack Nation — and he's reading them to you whether you like it or not. From nine home games at Lambeau to a frozen Caleb Williams in December, this is a man who's been thinking about the schedule for three days straight and openly admits his brain is broken.

Brick's scraping the vault tonight — and it shows. Four songs, two of them not even Packers tracks, and somehow it still adds up to one of the more honest hours he's put on the air. We open in the ring with Eight Limbs of War — a Muay Thai sermon with drums, straight out of Ryan's personal stash. Then we walk the division down with Suck It, a cold-cut industrial chant for the three cities that talk more than they win. We sit in the Cleveland wound with Ten to Nothing (Gone to Waste) — September's collapse, scored in boom-bap, and a reminder that the football gods wrote the same script against Unitas back in nineteen sixty-five. Same ending. Sixty years apart. Same exact wound. Then we walk out of it. Green Bay Thunder closes the show with Lombardi's ghost in the rafters and a quest that hasn't ended yet. Four songs. One sermon. No filler. You were never alone out there.

Big Sal is fired up, Pack Nation, and he's putting his contract predictions on the record. Three deals. Three players. Three numbers that are going to define the future of this Packers roster. Kraft, Watson, Wyatt — all sitting on Brian Gutekunst's desk like a stack of bills you keep meaning to deal with. Big Sal is dealing with them right now.

The end of 2025 left a bad taste in everyone's mouth — but the numbers tell a very different story than the vibes. Ryan digs into DVOA, EPA per play, success rate, and drop-back efficiency to show that, even through chaos and injuries, the Packers fielded one of the best offenses in football. The real disappointment? A defense that should have been elite under Jeff Hafley and dragged the whole operation down.

The garage light is still on. The engine's still off. Brick Lombardi pulls up a chair behind the mic for another late-night ride through Tundra FM — four tracks, four genres, one team, and a Pittsburgh stadium that thinks it has the Pack figured out. From a chopper rap that drops names faster than you can write them down to a hair metal power ballad burning the noise to the ground, this one hits every frequency Pack Nation lives on.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is fired up — and Pack Nation, this one has been brewing for two solid years. Jordan Morgan is finally — FINALLY — being handed the left tackle job he was drafted to play, and Sal is here to tell you why this might be the single most important position battle on the entire 2026 Packers roster.

Pack Daddy is running on fumes after Mother's Day food coma — so Pack Nation steps up and carries the show with some absolute heaters. From punchable faces in sports media to the Jordan love slander that just won't die, this one builds to one of the most legendary caller rants in After Dark history. Buckle up.

Ryan goes deep on a post-mortem of the 2025 Green Bay Packers offense — and what he finds is even worse than memory suggests. There was exactly one game all season where the Packers got close to full strength on offense (Week 8 vs. Pittsburgh), and even that came without Jaden Reed and with a rotating right guard. Every other week was a new patch job.

Big Sal is in the driveway at midnight staring at a snow blower he still hasn't fixed — and he's got something to tell you. Yesterday was the excited list. Today is the OTHER list. The five things making Sal pace around in the dark wondering "...but WHAT IF" about the 2026 Green Bay Packers.

Ryan opens with a quick breakdown of the Brandon McManus release — and why it was always the obvious move once the Packers drafted Smaack. No fake competition needed. Then it's on to the main event: the Jordan Love inconsistency narrative that refuses to die, and Ryan is done letting it breathe. Armed with PFF grades, coefficient of variation analysis, and week-by-week comparisons across the entire NFL, Ryan methodically dismantles the "wildly inconsistent" label that fans and media have slapped on Love without a shred of data to back it up. McManus release explained: why roster math and draft logic made this inevitable from day one Jonathan Gannon calls Jordan Love "top tier" — and AJ Hawk's hesitant response says more than he intended PFF grade breakdowns for Love, Josh Allen, Stafford, Dak, Goff, Caleb Williams, Drake May, and Bo Nix — the numbers don't lie Standard deviation and CV analysis reveals Love as the second-most consistent starter in the NFL behind only Josh Allen Stop repeating talking points you can't back up. Ryan's challenge to every Packer fan and hater alike: prove it — or stop saying it. #GreenBayPackers #JordanLove #NFLDraft #PackerNation #PFF #NFLAnalysis #Packers2025 #BrandonMcManus #ConsistencyDebate #PackernetPodcast This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Pack Daddy is back behind the phones and the callers are FIRED UP.

Brick Lombardi is back behind the mic, and he brought the war drums with him. Volume 2 of Tundra FM rolls through four original Packers anthems — heavier, stranger, and more cinematic than the first — with Brick's 30-year radio veteran voice threading it all together like a late-night transmission from somewhere frozen and beautiful. Tonight's setlist: Creeping Death (Green & Gold) — A Metallica-flavored plague descends on Lambeau. Opponents don't visit. They become cautionary tales. Lombardi's curse is operational. Yak God Two — Tucker Craft is a theological problem. Six-five, 260, ran a 4.6, and somehow the straight line after contact is the slow part. Farm boy power is real and it is punishing. The Predator Two — A tribute to Clay Matthews and 12 relentless seasons. The neck scan that made a surgeon go quiet. The comeback that was never in doubt. Legends aren't built on mercy. This Is My Domain — A special request from Riley for Yoshi the cat — a stray with no collar, no name, running on pure instinct until one dog changed everything.

Big Sal from Peshtigo has a LIST. The snow blower's still in pieces in the garage, Darlene hasn't said a word about it — and Sal has been sitting at the kitchen table in May fired up about the 2026 Green Bay Packers like it's already September at Lambeau. Today he runs through the five things keeping him up at night in the BEST possible way. Tucker Kraft is healthy and back — and Sal says he was on his way to All-Pro before the injury stole him from us last year Matthew Golden steps into a full WR role alongside Jayden Reed, and Jordan Love now has a "beautiful problem" on his hands Javon Hargrave brings 49 career interior sacks and an existing relationship with DC Jonathan Gannon — and he already helped collapse the pocket before Marv at the bait shop even knew his name Zaire Franklin is a second-team All-Pro run-stopper who cost the Packers Colby Wooden — highway robbery, plain and simple Micah Parsons is 26 years old, recovering from ACL surgery, and coming back ANGRY — and Big Sal says a healthy Parsons next to this rebuilt front is a Super Bowl-caliber defense Subscribe, leave a five-star review on Spotify, and tell Sal he's wrong.

Ryan rips through the latest NFL news on this loaded edition of the Packernet Podcast — from the Vikings' assistant-GM-of-the-week parade to Aaron Rodgers' expected landing spot in Pittsburgh, with contract talks reportedly hovering around $30 million per year. Then it's time for the main event: a full-throated demolition of a clueless Bears-fan journalist who tried to argue the Rams shouldn't have drafted Ty Simpson — and used Jordan Love as his "evidence." Spoiler: it doesn't go well for him. Key topics covered: Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers reportedly closing in on a deal — and why $30 million isn't actually crazy in today's quarterback market The 2027 NFL Draft class is being hyped as potentially generational, validating Green Bay's decision to stockpile next year's picks A point-by-point takedown of the absurd argument that the Packers should've drafted T Higgins instead of Jordan Love — and why that fantasy timeline collapses the second you actually think about it Rotowire's "most hated NFL team" rankings have the Packers tied for the top spot, and Ryan explains why that's exactly the way it should be in the Packers' division Hit subscribe, leave a rating, and share this one with every Bears fan still clinging to the Jordan Love hate. #Packers #GoPackGo #PackerNation #NFL #JordanLove #AaronRodgers #Steelers #NFLDraft2027 #NFCNorth #PackernetPodcast #BrianGutekunst #Rams This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Brick Lombardi opens the mic on another Tuesday where three more things became illegal to say by Thursday — and Tundra FM is the show that doesn't fill out the form. Five songs deep, this one runs the full spectrum: from satirical rage at the ever-shrinking dictionary to the quiet, heavy weight of loving a team that doesn't always love you back the same way. What's inside this episode: "Canceled" — A blistering alphabet anthem about the words that vanish overnight, the committees that approve the messages, and the handbook that updates on Tuesdays. "Could You Be Love (Part Two)" — A reggae-tinged second verse for Jordan Love, because the question keeps getting bigger and the answer isn't done yet. "Lambo's Nightmare Two" — The blame storm returns. Players? Coach? Scheme? Every Packer fan is fighting a different war in the same stadium. "Lonely / The Heaviest Crown" — The closer. Decades of standing in the cold, counting seasons instead of trophies, and the cost of a love that keeps asking for more. Tundra FM stays on. The songs don't make themselves for nothing.

  Pack Nation, Big Sal from Peshtigo is fired up — and this time it started with a headline. The Chicago Sun-Times ran a piece calling the Bears "stable by comparison," and brother, that is the rallying cry of a team that has already accepted third place. Big Sal reads it word for word and tears it apart brick by brick. The Bears' beat writer called Caleb Williams' year-three ceiling "making questions a little less acute" — while Jordan Love is 26 years old, healthy, and surrounded by a full arsenal. Big Sal explains what that gap actually looks like on a cold November Sunday. Garrett Bradbury and a non-premium safety. That is the offseason that earned the "stable" headline. Big Sal is not trying to be mean — he just needs you to see it for what it is. Micah Parsons is coming back. Jonathan Gannon is building a defense on purpose. And the projections — buried in the same article celebrating stability — have Chicago finishing third. Big Sal noticed. Patrick Finley should save this episode.

Pack Daddy is back and the phone lines are wide open — and Uncle Rico shows up three times to absolutely destroy everyone's brain. Tonight's After Dark goes deep on whether the consensus big board is actually worth anything, why AI and robotics might end employment as we know it, and what happens when the economy runs out of humans to pay. It's the philosophical crisis you didn't know you needed on a Monday night. Uncle Rico goes on a trilogy run — questioning the value of consensus big boards, attempting to unpack the UBI/robotics economy loop (and nearly succeeding), and wondering aloud why Chase Claypool chose the Packers over literally anyone else The Gannon media blackout gets discussed — why he's reportedly been kept quiet, and the tension between wanting insider access and what's actually best for the team Batman drops a hot take that Pack Daddy agrees with on tomorrow's podcast: GuteKunst has quietly had a masterclass offseason and the fanbase just refuses to give him credit because it wasn't flashy Nico from Idaho checks in with Idaho potato air fryer content, the Mr. Unlimited saga, and a passionate defense of words the internet has tried to retire Garrett pitches a Mother's Day song, Cheesecake Factory becomes the unanimous answer to all gift-giving, and the Patreon salary cap spreadsheet finally goes live Subscribe, rate, and review — and if you want the spreadsheet, you know where to find it. #PackernetAfterDark #GreenBayPackers #NFLDraft #PackDaddy #PackerNation #AI #Robotics #UBI #GuteKunst #AfterDark #NFL #Packers2025 This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Ryan Schlipp is fired up — and he's got the math to back it up.

Pack Nation calls in HOT on this edition of Packernet After Dark, and Ryan doesn't hold back either. What starts as a pile-on against ESPN's take on Lucas Van Ness snowballs into one of the most honest conversations about football media literacy, fan psychology, and why so many people refuse to evolve their thinking — even when the evidence is stacked against them.

Big Sal came in with notes — written on a grocery receipt, because that's who he is — and he was ready to torch the Tyrod Taylor signing. A 36-year-old journeyman. Seven prior teams. One and three with the Jets last year. This was supposed to be easy. Then he looked up the actual numbers, and now he's standing in Peshtigo holding a receipt that says this might actually be fine.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is screaming at the ceiling fan, and Pac Nation, this one is keeping him up at night. The Giants just fumbled the bag on DJ Reader, and Brian Gutekunst's phone should already be lighting up. In this fired-up rant, Sal lays out exactly why Green Bay's defensive line is missing its foundation:

Ryan resists the urge to "do stupid every day" and instead grinds through a loaded slate of NFL news, Packers updates, and a brutally honest deep dive into the free agent market. With 318 names floating in free agency, Ryan walks through why most of them can't help Green Bay — and where there's still one real itch the Packers haven't scratched. NFL News & Notes: The Disney/ESPN vs. Comcast standoff over NFL Network and RedZone, the Colts declining Anthony Richardson's fifth-year option, Calais Campbell signing with Baltimore at 40 years old, the Browns' Watson/Shedeur circus, and Russell Wilson retirement/TV chatter. Packers Updates: Minnesota favored to host the 2028 NFL Draft, Malik Muhammad's now-viral non-reaction to being drafted by the Bears, the Trey Smack trade-up details, five of six rookies signed (Brandon Sayer the holdout watch), and a hard reality check on the Chase Claypool tryout hype. Free Agency Deep Dive: Why Ryan keeps circling back to edge rusher as the one true need — Joey Bosa, Haason Reddick, Derek Barnett, Brandon Graham — and what kind of contract structure could actually make sense behind Van Ness and a returning Micah Parsons.

Brick Lombardi cracks open the vault for a four-track journey that starts in the trenches against Cleveland and somehow ends up in a Lambeau trap house. Thirty years in radio and he's still finding new neighborhoods inside this frozen cathedral. Pull up a stool, the signal's strong tonight. Inside this episode of Tundra FM: Dog Pound Showdown — A cold-war anthem revisiting that defensive slugfest with the Browns, where the only thing that traveled to Lambeau was the green-and-gold armor. Nerds in Lambeau — The spreadsheet samurai finally get their theme song. EPA per drop back, CPOE, success rate — basement mic statisticians, this one's for you. The Lambo Beast / When the Stars Align — Cinematic mythology stitching together the Reggie-and-Favre era, the Rodgers-Woodson-Matthews awakening, and the question every cold Sunday in Wisconsin keeps asking: does Jordan Love wake the beast next? Pond D, Frozen Tundra — Packers trap music. It shouldn't work on paper. It works. If something hit you right tonight, share it, drop a review, and tell that one cousin who still won't admit football's a religion up here. You were never alone out there.

Sit down, Pack Nation. Pull off the road. Tell the wife to hold dinner. Big Sal's got a Sal Story Time so dark it kept him up at night and had him staring at the bird feeder for two hours before he could even eat his sandwich. Every team in the NFL has skeletons — but the Green Bay Packers hold a record nobody wants and nobody talks about: we are the ONLY franchise in league history to draft a confirmed serial killer. In this episode, Sal breaks down: Pick 428 of the 1974 NFL Draft — a Portland State wide receiver named Randall Woodfield, whose juvenile arrests were buried by his high school coaches and whose warning lights were flashing like the dashboard of a thirty-year-old pickup How Dan Devine cut him in camp because the indecent exposure didn't stop in a Packers uniform — but Woodfield stuck around Wisconsin, played semi-pro for the Manitowoc Chiefs, and worked at Oshkosh Truck before going home to Oregon The I-5 Killer spree that followed his 1979 parole — one confirmed murder, at least eighteen linked by DNA and ballistics, up to forty-four suspected — and the victims whose names don't get said enough Hit subscribe, leave a review, and tell two of your jabroni friends to listen. And next time some bozo on talk radio tells you Tony Mandarich was the worst pick in Packers history — you politely correct that knucklehead. #Packers #PackerNation #LetMeTellYouSomething #BigSalFromPeshtigo #SalStoryTime #PackernetPodcast #GoPackGo #NFLDraftHistory #TrueCrime #IFiveKiller #LambeauField #PackersHistory This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!
