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.

We got some updates about the JP Morgan lawsuit that happened a few days ago involving sexual misconduct between an executive and an employee, and it's safe to say... the whole thing may have been a lie... Thor understands that the news covers what they want to cover but is fired up right now about the complete LACK of coverage of one of the biggest sports scandals right now, the Mike Vrablel and Dianna Russini cheating scandal! He wants to know why nobody from ESPN is covering it and lets us know all about it in today's Midweek Meltdown. We have a very in depth conversation about the planets and which are our favorites and which ones we don't really care much for. We also learn that the girls are not so familiar with space...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Seahawks have signed edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. Wyman & Bob break down what he brings to the team and how much of an impact we can expect out of the veteran. // According to ESPN, the Seahawks sit on top of the NFL power rankings with a note that we improved the most at the Guard position, do the guys agree with that assessment? // After the first month of the season and Bryce Miller set to return to the rotation in the coming weeks, has Luis Castillo done enough to keep his spot in the starting rotation? Emerson Hancock has been lights out and Castillo has been shaky at best. // Sweeping the Dial: In an interview with Pro Football Talk, Ken Walker was asked if he had an idea during the year that he wasn’t going to be back with Seattle. Dan Wilson explains why Gabe Speier was put on the IL. Adam Schefter talks about the Packers wanting Anthony Richardson before ultimately signing Tyrod Taylor

We'll reminisce for a little bit to start the show about the 2015 Grizzlies (3:00) and then we'll go into the playoff games from last night. Were the Sixers just tired from their Game 7 on Sunday night or will they not have an answer for Jalen Brunson all series long? Chris points out the assist numbers from Karl-Anthony Towns as a reason the Knicks offense has been clicking so well these last 4-5 games (9:00). Will Game 1 be learning moment for the young Spurs? Dylan Harper was there for it. Does Wemby get away with a lot of fouling and goaltending? Julius Randle has underrated strength and Jaden McDaniel showed Stephon Castle how it's done as an elite defender (15:28). ESPN has an NBA Draft Lottery simulator that nobody knows about (1:09:19). UAB Head Coach Andy Kennedy made some comments on twitter after UAB got a player to commit to them over Memphis (1:16:00) and we'll end the show talking about tonight's Pistons/Cavs and Lakers/Thunder games (1:19:11).Host: Chris Vernon Contributors: Jon Roser, Devin Walker Technical Director: Jaylon Wallace Associate Producer: Jena Broyles 

   President Trump hosted a small business event at the White House Monday and one of the businesses featured was Slap's BBQ in KCK.  Joe Pearce, the owner, was there with staff.  The president was a little bit interested in the various sauces but mostly just asked the Slap's boys if Patrick Mahomes was going to be ok and start the season in week one.  This is so good.    A national hotel association says World Cup bookings are a disaster nationwide and KC is the worst of the worst.  Not only are 650k people not coming to KC... regular summer visitors are AVOIDING KC because of the World Cup.  Dang, if only a local podcaster could have warned officials this would happen.    A pair of drivers at Central Bank in Sugar Creek got quite a scare when the roof collapsed above them.    The Royals beat the Guardians with another great looking game, 6-2,  and have now won 8 out of 10.    The Chiefs sign 3 players out of 108 that tried out at Rookie Mini Camp... all at positions of need.  The Dallas Cowboys take an off season wedding photo for the ages and Stephen A Smith welcomes back an old partner this week at ESPN.

ESPN NHL writer Gret Wyshynski

The Green Bay Packers exercised the fifth year option on Lucas Van Ness — and somehow ESPN thinks that's the dumbest move of the offseason. Ryan breaks down the tape, the cap math, and the logic (or lack thereof) behind the wave of criticism coming from multiple ESPN Milwaukee and Madison personalities who seem convinced the Packers just made a catastrophic mistake. The $14 million myth: Ryan methodically dismantles the idea that Van Ness' fifth year option is some massive, reckless investment — when the top pass rusher in the NFL is making $50 million a year, this is literally bottom-third money for a legitimate contributor The sack obsession: ESPN's analysts lean entirely on Van Ness' three sack total while ignoring his 15% pressure rate, 76 PFF overall grade, and the fact he played only 300 snaps — Ryan does the math they refused to do The Rashawn Gary false equivalence: One ESPN host tries to draw a parallel between Gary's contract situation and Van Ness' option — Ryan explains why that comparison falls apart completely when you look at actual dollar figures adjusted for the salary cap The "stuck with him" problem: Multiple analysts framed the decision as the Packers being "stuck" with Van Ness — Ryan makes the case that losing him would be far more damaging than any cap concerns at this price point What's actually coming next: Why this fifth year option is just the setup for a contract extension that will make more sense structurally, and why Gutekunst was always going to do this Subscribe, leave a review, and join the conversation — and catch Packernet After Dark tonight for the call-in reaction! #Packers #LucasVanNess #GoPackGo #NFLAnalysis #GreenBayPackers #PackNation #NFLSalaryCap This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Bill Connelly from ESPN.com stops by to walk us through the post-spring college football landscape, fresh off turning in 7,000 words on the MAC and kicking off his annual conference preview series. We get into how the portal era has transformed his prep work, why the SEC has become a "horizontal" conference of strong middles, and which conferences are hardest to make sense of right now. Bill evaluates the Big 12 after the Brendan Sorsby news, talks up a few mid-major teams to watch, and explains why he still doesn't fully trust Texas the way the rest of the country does. We also dig into the Bob Chesney's roster build at UCLA, Oklahoma State's full offensive transfusion, Lane Kiffin's quarterback insurance policy, and what to make of the pairing of Bryce Underwood and Kyle Whittingham in Ann Arbor. Bill also shares his Alabama skepticism, his read on Indiana's encore, and why he's increasingly intrigued by Texas A&M. And, to close things out, a little World Cup talk in advance of this summer's tournament.

Bomani and Vinny Goodwill unpack an NBA postseason that makes no sense in the best way. Bomani Jones is joined by ESPN's Vinnie Goodwill to talk through why this Knicks team has no excuse not to make the NBA Finals, the delicate balance between Jalen Brunson's usage and unlocking Karl-Anthony Towns, and whether Boston's ceiling is lower than people want to admit with this version of Jason Tatum coming off the Achilles injury. From there, they dive into Victor Wembanyama's terrifying playoff debut, why the Spurs already look ahead of schedule, and how Oklahoma City vs. San Antonio feels like a looming Western Conference war. They also hit LeBron, KD, and the aging superstar class who can still hit the “high notes” for one night even if they can't live there anymore. Later, Bomani and Vinnie break down Adam Silver's new anti‑tanking lottery rules, what it means for franchises like Detroit and Orlando, and why conditioning young stars to lose might be the most underrated failure of “The Process” era in Philly. Plus, what the league should actually be embarrassed by, and why Steve Ballmer's Kawhi situation is way more complicated than internet outrage allows. Learn more about your ad choices.
