The Green Bay Packers are 1-1 through their first two games of the 2023 season. They went on the road to Atlanta, blew a 24-12 fourth-quarter lead, and fell 25-24 to the Falcons.

I hit on the performance from yesterday, including Joe Barry, the run defense, mistakes in the secondary, and more. I'll be back AFTER the MNF game in Vegas before the bye week on Oct. 10. GPG.

Since becoming the owner in February 2023, Suns' Mat Ishbia has simply gone for it. He's allowed the franchise to make two of the biggest trades in its history. Before the trade deadline, the Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, and multiple first-round picks for KEVIN DURANT. And now here we are, they've kicked off the NBA off-season with a trade for BRADLEY BEAL. Unbelievable. https://twitter.com/FOS/status/1670532216407969793I share my quick thoughts and what lies ahead for the Suns as the offseason is just getting underway.

I've been wanting to do this for a while. Each one of the four professional sports teams that I root for is in an interesting part of their history. I would cover Chelsea FC here too, but they just stink. Each part of the podcast portion has a chapter for each franchise. Hope you enjoy it! I tried to separate this as much as possible to allow folks who are fans of only one or two of these teams to have easier access to each part! There are timestamps with NO transition sound and awkward pauses, it's all by design! Timestamps: * Chapter I: The Phoenix Suns (01:10)* Chapter II: The St. Louis Blues (10:55)* Chapter III: The St. Louis Cardinals (30:30)* Chapter IV: The Green Bay Packers (37:15)* Chapter V: What's Next/Rankings (43:03)Chapter I: The Phoenix Suns (Build Around Phase)The Suns hired Frank Vogel as their head coach. They enter the summer with much uncertainty around who returns around Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. In this quick chapter, I reviewed the coaching hires, Chris Paul/DeAndre Ayton, the potential roster next season, and a bit more. Chapter II: The St. Louis Blues (Retooling) The Blues missed the playoffs in 2022-23 for the first time since the 2017-18 season. They have a lot of picks in the 2023 NHL Draft and salary cap space to work with throughout the summer. I expect them to be very involved in free agency and trades this summer. The roster retool/reshape/rebuild (whatever you want to call it) is underway. Chapter III: The St. Louis Cardinals (In a WEIRD Place) They are bad. There's not a lot to talk about. This is a short chapter with a little rant about where this franchise has been and where they are going. Brutal. Chapter IV: The Green Bay Packers (Roster Reset, Let the Kids Play)The Aaron Rodgers era is over. We now enter the Jordan Love era. The Packers roster is young and energetic. It's a new phase of life for the franchise. It'll be interesting to watch it unfold. Chapter V: What's Next for the Four TeamsIn this chapter, I discussed my feelings on each franchise overall. As well as a ranking for coaches, general managers, stars, and most likely to win a title next. Thanks for tuning in!Maybe I'll do this again in the future with a guest for each team.

I'll link some tweets and articles in regard to the Vogel hiring. I did a quick podcast on the hire and the Suns' outlook moving forward. The Suns gave Vogel a five-year deal worth $31 million, per Shams Charania of Stadium. This comes after they fired Monty Williams and he got a $78.5 million deal to become the next head coach of the Detroit Pistons. Vogel resembles Joe Gatto: https://twitter.com/jsandiegoo/status/1664671659196809222Great article by Kellan Olson: https://arizonasports.com/story/3524596/frank-vogel-sets-tone-for-suns-makeover-steps-toward-1st-title/ Vogel's terrific defensive history: https://twitter.com/GeraldBourguet/status/1664685811848052756Lots of podcast content coming soon with some articles sprinkled in!

I did a QUICK reaction to the Suns' trade for Kevin Durant. I was a bit tired when recording this, but I am VERY excited. I can't wait to watch this lineup when fully healthy. Chris Paul and DeAndre Ayton just got better. The Suns might not be done either. An underrated part of this trade is TJ Warren. He'll be a solid piece off the bench. I'll miss Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson, but this is a trade the Suns HAD to make. The opportunity to trade for an ALL-TIME scorer doesn't come around often. Durant has wanted to be a Sun since he asked for a trade last summer, and it finally came true. Thanks for reading Ethan Carter's Newsletter!
