Podcasts about big sal

Big Sal from Peshtigo is back — fresh off three days with no heat, no lights, and thirty inches of snow piled up to his chest. Gary Pletcher didn't see the storm coming. Neither did Pack Nation. And Sal's not here to make you feel better about it. From Week 13's 9-3-1 high — Tomek catching Super Bowl fever and Sal's daughter calling them pioneers — to Micah Parsons going down in Denver, five straight losses, and a Wild Card collapse against the Bears that cost Sal a full night of sleep Every coaching question on the table: LaFleur's 3-6 playoff record, the Hafley departure, Jonathan Gannon stepping into the DC seat, and Cameron Achord running special teams for the first time at the NFL level Gutey, Stenavich, Butkus, and the four punts in Chicago that nobody has answered for yet The Gary Pletcher lesson: the snow didn't ask if you were ready — so you don't get to ask it either.

We are out here every week because we love this team too much to walk away. #GoPackGo #GreenBayPackers #PackNation #BigSal #LetMeTellYouSomething #Peshtigo #NFLOffseason #PackernetPodcast This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Pac Nation picked up the phones and packed the lines on this one. From a wild developmental B-team league concept to a Bears conspiracy theory for the ages, the After Dark crew had a lot to say about the Packers' offseason — and Ryan wasn't holding back either. A Ron from Eau Claire floats the idea of NFL teams fielding a spring practice squad league, and Ryan actually loves it — at least as a thought experiment. Same helmets, same loyalty, real development. The logistics are a nightmare, but the dream is beautiful. Beer Cheese Benny makes the case for drafting a running back while Ryan pumps the brakes — Judarian Price is the only realistic option in range, and if he's gone, the math just doesn't work. TJ from Alabama delivers a measured free agency report card: Hargrave and Franklin solid, Jonathan Gannon warmer than expected, and a definitive verdict on why LaGeria Sneed isn't the answer at corner. Randy from Minnesota drops the conspiracy of the year — is Ryan Poles secretly on the Packers' payroll? — and gives Big Sal his flowers for the Ben Johnson rant. Garrett from China, IL closes it out asking the real questions: backup QB, nose tackle depth, and whether Sky Moore is just a special teams signing dressed up as a wide receiver. Call in, Pac Nation.

Big Sal from Peshtigo has questions. Serious questions. One week ago the Packers were the youngest team in the entire NFL — the whole LEAGUE — and every analyst on the planet said they needed veterans. Fine. So Gute goes out and signs a 28-year-old, a 29-year-old, and a 33-year-old in the same offseason. Sal's not mad at the players. He's mad at the whiplash. Javon Hargrave, Zaire Franklin, and Benjamin St-Juste are quality football players — Sal wants that on the record before he loses his mind The real panic: is Green Bay pivoting from a five-year rebuild to a win-now window without telling anyone? Tomek's gym membership, Gary's brother-in-law Denny's restaurant-car wash disaster, and a door-county road trip without GPS all make appearances Sal's daughter asked if the Hargrave signing was good. He sat in silence for four full seconds. She walked out. She has more peace than he does. If Gute's right and this works, Big Sal will eat every word with a fork and a napkin. But somebody better hand him a north star before November.

Big Sal is up at six-thirty in the morning, coffee on the floor, and Ed Policy just said the quiet part out loud: without the salary cap, there might not BE a Green Bay Packers. Sal's not overreacting — he's doing the math, and the math is ugly. Policy admits the Packers are top three in league demand but middle of the pack in revenue — and the gap between Green Bay's reserve fund and what a billionaire owner can deploy in one afternoon is getting dangerous The salary cap levels the playing field for players — but coaching staffs, analytics departments, practice facilities, and signing bonus cash? Not capped. That's where the big market teams are burying us Lambeau is the last stadium in the NFL without naming rights — and while Sal's drawing a hard line on that name, he understands the financial reality of what comes next This isn't some rich owner's accounting problem.

Big Sal is fired up — and this time it's not about the front office, the cap sheet, or some rival fan base running their mouth. It's about the most unglamorous, most essential, most criminally overlooked position in all of football: the nose tackle. And if Green Bay doesn't fix it in Pittsburgh, Jonathan Gannon's whole system is dead on arrival. Sal breaks down why Gannon's pressure-generation scheme collapses without a run-stuffing anchor — if offenses can just hand it off all day, the pass rush never gets off the ground The Bobby Ferrante Principle: how one massive presence changes the entire offensive calculation before a single snap is called The 2026 nose tackle draft board — Kayden McDonald, Lee Hunter, Chris McClellan, DeMonte Capehart, and Domonique Orange — who falls to 52, who disappears, and who Green Bay must not overthink Sal's daughter drops the most accidental football wisdom of the offseason, and Darlene just shakes her head Subscribe, drop a comment, and tell Big Sal which nose tackle you want the Packers to take.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is at the kitchen table, and he has had ENOUGH. Brian Gutekunst traded away first-round picks of his own free will — nobody held a gun to his head — and now the man wants patience while Pack Nation sits here staring at a draft board that looks like the leftovers at a church potluck. Cold. Dry. Nothing anybody actually wanted. Sal breaks down exactly why Gute gets zero curve — when you voluntarily remove yourself from the top of the board, every remaining pick has to work twice as hard, hit faster, and contribute in year ONE The Gary Pletcher snow removal analogy that perfectly captures what happens when you sell your best equipment and then the storm hits Credit where it's due: Jordan Love, the offensive line rebuild, some solid contracts — but good GMs are good EVERY year, not every other year The urgency is real — Love's cheap contract window is open RIGHT NOW, and thin rosters and third-year projects are exactly what slam it shut No more outs. No more context. No more explanations. Go find us some players, Brian. RESULTS. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell a friend about Packernet.

Big Sal from Peshtigo has had ENOUGH. The national media is parading Ben Johnson around like he cracked the code of professional football, and Sal is here to set the record straight — one hot dog deal at a time. The Bears went 2-for-6 on fourth down in the Wild Card game, a missed Brandon McManus field goal bailed out their "genius" head coach, and somehow the columns keep coming. Sal breaks down exactly what the numbers say about Johnson's debut season. Caleb Williams went 24-for-48 in the biggest game of his year and seven fourth-quarter comebacks apparently make him Marino. Sal is not buying it — and he has receipts. The Packers gave away the NFC North game at 16-6 with under two minutes left and spotted Chicago 21 unanswered points in the Wild Card. The Bears did not beat Green Bay. Green Bay beat Green Bay. Ben Johnson chirped at LaFleur on day one with zero wins as a head coach. Sal has a theory about what that actually means — and it is not confidence. The assignment for 2026 is simple: stop making Opie's job easy.

Big Sal's not the only one fired up — Ryan breaks down one of the most exciting Packers signings of the offseason as Javon Hargrave lands in Green Bay, and the fit couldn't be more perfect. After a frustrating year buried in Brian Flores' stunt-heavy system and asked to play nose tackle instead of the three-tech role that made him a terror, Hargrave is coming home to Jonathan Gannon — the defensive coordinator who helped him post back-to-back 90+ PFF pass rush grades and be part of the first team in NFL history with four players reaching double-digit sacks in a single season. His family's reaction video? Pac Nation needs to find it immediately. Hargrave film and scheme deep-dive: Why Gannon's pressure-from-the-front-four philosophy unlocks everything Hargrave does best — quick pressure rate, three-tech alignment, and no more eating blocks in a gap control system Building the 2022 Eagles blueprint: Ryan maps out how Hargrave, Davante Wyatt, Micah Parsons, Lucas Van Ness, and Brenton Cox mirror the Eagles' historic defensive front — and where the Packers still need a Jordan Davis type Edge rush market chaos: The Ravens' Trey Hendrickson signing essentially removed two premier pass rushers from the NFC North's reach in less than 24 hours — and Ryan explains why that's a massive win for Green Bay NFC North free agency rundown: Kyler Murray to Minnesota looks inevitable, the Bears' safety room is a downgrade, and the Lions are still searching for a complementary edge to Hutchinson after cutting Josh Paschal Subscribe, rate, and review — and turn on auto-download so you never miss a breaking news drop.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is pacing the kitchen again — and this time, Darlene can't even bring herself to ask why. The answer is Jalen Carter. Twenty-four years old. Two Pro Bowls. Second-Team All-Pro. Super Bowl champion. The most dominant interior defensive tackle in the NFL — and the Green Bay Packers have already made the call to Philadelphia. Sal says stop sniffing around and make the deal. The real cost of the Micah Parsons trade: no first-round pick in 2026 and a gutted interior defensive line — and why Sal thinks that makes Carter not just desirable, but necessary Carter at 24 next to a healthy Parsons = one blocker on your best pass rusher, every single snap — Sal breaks down exactly why this combination turns Green Bay into a dynasty-level threat The Eagles' cap math doesn't work with Davis, Carter, and the AJ Brown situation all at once — Sal makes the case that Philadelphia's window to extend Carter is closing, and so is ours The house on the river: Sal explains the whole thing to Tomek from the Marinette paper mill, and the message is simple — find the boats, make it work, don't walk away from a generational asset over the cost of a second boat Subscribe, leave a review, and for the love of all things green and gold — make sure Gutey hears this one.

It's another late night in Pac Nation and the phones are lighting up — and this time, Big Sal's cover is officially blown. Uncle Rico leads the charge calling out Ryan for making him investigate a fictional paper mill worker from Peshtigo, and the fallout is absolutely beautiful. But once the roasting settles, it's all Packers business as the offseason chaos keeps rolling. The crew breaks down everything: The Rashaan Gary trade — Green Bay extracts a fourth-round pick from Dallas while Cowboys fans somehow convince themselves they fleeced the Packers in the Parsons deal. Kyle from Madison needed therapy. We provided it. Zaire Franklin signing — Dana from California and Ryan both land on the same surprising conclusion: this guy's leadership might matter more than his stats, and the fit actually makes sense. CB room reshuffling — Benjamin St. Juste in, Gannon Hobbs out. Drew from Green Bay and Benny both weigh in on what this means for the corner draft strategy and whether Tariq Woolen smoke is real. Gutekunst trust meter — TJ from Alabama puts it plainly: everything this offseason is okay... but put-up-or-shut-up time is arriving fast. Jalen Carter or bust?

Big Sal from Peshtigo is IN THE BUILDING and he is NOT okay.

Big Sal from Peshtigo has had ENOUGH — and on a Sunday morning, no less. The Green Bay Packers just handed Sean Rhyan $33 million guaranteed for a man with nine career starts at center. NINE. Spotrac had his market value at $6.5 million a year. Green Bay paid $11. That's not a signing — that's a charity event. And while they were handing out money like that, Tyler Linderbaum walked out the door. Sal breaks down the Rhyan deal in brutal detail — $11M per year vs. a $6.5M market value, a 6-game PED suspension on his record, and nine career starts at the position he's now being paid to anchor The offensive line gets the full Sal treatment: Morgan (question mark), Banks ($19M for "serviceable"), Belton (zero NFL snaps), Tom ($22M) — over $50M per year at three spots surrounding a center with no track record Elgton Jenkins — four-time Pro Bowler who could play every position on the line — was released to make room for the backup who filled in when he got hurt The Dale's Deck analogy lands perfectly: a beautiful structure with a center that cannot hold the weight — and Sal is watching this offensive line the exact same way Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with every Packers fan staring at their phone in disbelief right now.

Big Sal from Peshtigo has been sitting on this one since October — and he is done waiting. Rashan Gary is gone, the farewell graphic was apparently the work of a very thoughtful hacker, and Sal has the receipts on one of the great statistical magic tricks in recent Packers history. Gary led the entire NFL in sacks after Week 7 — then recorded ZERO sacks and ZERO tackles for loss from Week 8 through the end of the playoffs. Three hundred and thirty-seven players outproduced him down the stretch. Sal breaks down exactly why those first seven weeks happened: Micah Parsons was drawing every double team in America, handing Gary clean one-on-ones all day. That's not a breakout. That's arithmetic. This isn't the first time — Gary ran the exact same hot-start, cold-finish pattern in 2023, and Gutekunst signed the $96 million extension anyway. Now the Packers move on with Lukas Van Ness — two career starts — as the next man up. The cap space is real. The pass rush is still a question. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell a friend.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is in his kitchen, there's a coffee stain on his shirt, and his wife just walked past without saying a word — and Pack Nation, that silence says everything. The Green Bay Packers did not tender Emanuel Wilson. They let the angriest, most physical back on the roster walk into free agency and turned around and signed Chris Brooks for two years. And Sal cannot let that stand. Wilson posted 156 rushing yards after contact last season — not a statistic, a personality type — and the Packers handed him to the open market like a free sample Chris Brooks is a fine human being and a solid special teams ace, but Sal breaks down exactly why "safe and consistent" is the wrong call when you're chasing January football Big Sal's neighbor Gary, his friend Tomek from the paper mill, and yes — the Beer Cheese Benny / Joey Diaz situation — all make appearances in this one The cold, hard prediction: Wilson signs cheap somewhere, runs for 600 yards, and the comments section will not be kind Subscribe, leave a comment, tell Sal he's wrong if you think he is.

The Pac Nation faithful called in and they're not feeling great about Green Bay right now — and honestly, neither is Ryan. From the passing of legendary Packers CEO Bob Harlan to a front office that keeps talking about "culture fits" instead of football results, this episode is a full offseason pressure cooker. Dakota (that nerd from Tennessee) sparks a passionate extended rant about the Packers' dangerous obsession with offensive line versatility — specifically why treating Jordan Morgan like a utility player is a franchise-threatening mistake. Ryan doubles down hard: lock him in at left tackle and build around him, or risk turning a premium draft pick into a bust. The covered wagon vs. Hellcat analogy alone is worth the listen. Uncle Rico raises real questions about the leaked player-coach grades — are players grading coaches low because they're bad, or because they're getting screamed at to do their jobs? The T.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is fired up, and today's target is the Minnesota Vikings — a franchise that somehow spent $245 million in a single offseason and has absolutely nothing to show for it. Forty-three million dollars over the salary cap, nine wins, no playoffs, and a roster being dismantled piece by piece. Pull up a chair. The Grave Digger Fiasco: Jevon Hargrave — $30 million, two sacks in Week 1, then 1.5 sacks the rest of the season. Sal has a neighbor named Gary with a $3,000 snow blower that tells this story better than any stat line. The Justin Jefferson Time Bomb: A $140 million extension structured to explode — $38 million in 2026, $43 million in 2027, $47 million in 2028. They duct-taped a bow on a ticking clock and called it cap management. Nine and Eight: After spending a quarter-billion dollars, the Vikings got shut out, finished below .500 against playoff teams, and are now cutting two team captains just to scrape together $18 million — bailing out the Titanic with Sal's coffee mug. Kyler Murray and Instagram Recruiting: Justin Jefferson is following the Cardinals' castoff on social media while Minnesota drowns. This is where the dream ends, brother.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is fired up — and this time he didn't even finish his wife's chili. The Washington Commanders just cut Tyler Biadasz, a Badger-born Pro Bowl center from Amherst, Wisconsin, and if Brian Gutekunst isn't already on the phone, Big Sal is personally driving to Green Bay. Biadasz's full résumé: Remington Trophy winner at Wisconsin, blocked for Jonathan Taylor, started all 17 games for a Dallas offense that led the league in yards, earned a Pro Bowl, and helped carry Washington to the NFC Championship — before getting cut for $8 million in cap savings The Packers have nearly $20 million in cap relief waiting the moment they move on from Elton Jenkins, whose 2025 PFF grade ranked around 25th at center with run blocking near the bottom of the league The Chicago Bears are already circling — and Sal's got a yard sale story about his neighbor Tomek that perfectly explains why standing around being indecisive is a catastrophic mistake Jordan Love needs a wall in front of him, not five strangers who met at a bus stop — Biadasz is 28, top-15 in the league at his position, and he plays like he has something to prove Subscribe, drop a comment, and share this with every Packers fan you know.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is fired up — and this time he didn't even finish his wife's chili. The Washington Commanders just cut Tyler Biadasz, a Badger-born Pro Bowl center from Amherst, Wisconsin, and if Brian Gutekunst isn't already on the phone, Big Sal is personally driving to Green Bay.

Big Sal hasn't even finished his second cup of coffee and he's already screaming at the TV. Every talking head on NFL Network is losing their mind over Arkansas QB Taylen Green — 4.36 forty, 43.5-inch vertical, six-foot-six and 227 pounds of pure athletic spectacle. But Big Sal has one question: can the kid actually play quarterback? Taylen Green went 2-10 at Arkansas with 11 interceptions, a 38.6% completion rate under pressure, and 27 sacks — but sure, let's crown him because he can jump The NFL graveyard is full of combine freaks: Anthony Richardson (benched for Flacco), JaMarcus Russell (25 starts, done), Vernon Gholston (zero sacks in three years), and Stephen Hill (45 career catches) Tom Brady ran a 5.28 forty, looked like a substitute math teacher at the combine, and won seven Super Bowls — the stopwatch doesn't measure what's between your ears This QB class is weak after Fernando Mendoza, and desperation plus combine hype is a dangerous combination Smash that like button, subscribe to the Packernet Podcast, and share this with that one guy in your group chat who thinks combine numbers mean something.

Big Sal is up at six in the morning, coffee in hand, absolutely losing his mind — and for good reason. The Minnesota Vikings are cutting Aaron Jones, the third-leading rusher in Packers franchise history, and Sal is not about to let Green Bay pass on this opportunity twice. Why the Vikings dumping Jones is the football equivalent of Sal's buddy Gino selling his cherry-red '72 Nova for pennies on the dollar The case that Jones still has gas in the tank after rushing for a career-high 1,138 yards at age 30 in 2024 With Emmanuel Wilson gone and depth paper-thin behind Jacobs, the Packers backfield is begging for a veteran presence A direct message to Brian Gutekunst: pick up the phone and make this right Sal isn't asking for 2019 Aaron Jones. He's asking for 10-12 touches a game, third-down reliability, locker room leadership, and the chance to give a franchise legend the ending he earned. One more Lambeau Leap in green and gold. That's all we're asking. #GoPackGo #AaronJones #GreenBayPackers #BringHimHome #PackerNet #LetMeTellYouSomething This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Big Sal hasn't even had his coffee yet and he's already doing salary cap math at six in the morning — and Packers Nation, he is NOT happy. After Gutekunst's post-playoff presser about bringing everybody back, Sal is grabbing the scissors and making the cuts himself.

Big Sal is fired up and he is not holding back. The Green Bay Packers just named Cam Achord their new special teams coordinator and the numbers tell a brutal story. One elite season in New England back in twenty-twenty followed by four straight years of decline, a dead last D V O A ranking, blocked punts, kick return touchdowns, and two organizations that showed him the door without blinking. Meanwhile the Patriots replaced him and immediately became the most improved special teams unit in football. So why is Green Bay betting on a retread when the third phase has already been a disaster for years? Big Sal breaks down the stats, tells a few stories from Peshtigo, questions his own sanity for caring this much before breakfast, and makes the case that this hire could cost the Packers when it matters most in January. Buckle up, Pack Nation.

It's ironic that the main event was titled a Stairway to Hell match, because most of ECW was like watching pro wrestling from Hell. It wasn't all bad, though, as we got a decent ECW World Title match between Tommy Dreamer and Justin Credible, a great Four Corners match between Yoshihiro Tajiri, Mikey Whipwreck, Little Guido and Psicosis, Jerry Lynn and Steve Corino had a great match, and we've got a fantastic Six-Man Tag match. Rob Van Dam tries to drag Scotty Anton (the former Scotty Riggs) to a presentable match, Big Sal and Balls Mahoney have a turd, Rhino and Sandman beat each other up over the TV Title, and much more. In the news, we discuss the disastrous fallout of WCW Bash at the Beach 2000, a hellacious injury for Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli, a future WWE star debuting in OVW, the drama between ECW, WWF, and TNN, plus much more!
