Mike Golic is in awe of Myles Garrett, but still thinks someone else had a better season when it came to sacks. Mike doesn't trust many teams in the AFC but he does love the Houston defense.

Recorded: January 5th 2026 | On this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan interview new head coach of Michigan football, Kyle Whittingham, and 2x Pro Bowl safety for the Chicago Bears, Kevin Byard! The boys kick things off previewing Jarod Beeman's standup show, and a roundtable of New Year’s resolutions—including Jack McPherson, Mitch’s new diet, JP committing to a book a month, Taylor reading more, writing more, and goals around getting to bed earlier, giving back, and being more charitable. There’s plenty of classic Bussin’ banter along the way, including gout talk, fandom debates, Mr. Beast crossing into college football, and Taylor’s Uber Eats pet peeve. From there, the show transitions into a sit-down with Kyle Whittingham, who opens up about the move from Utah to Michigan, navigating the modern NIL era, and what it takes to build culture at a new program. Whittingham clears up retirement rumors, reflects on his time at Utah with no regrets, breaks down expectations for Michigan’s offense and defense, and shares thoughts on meeting the team during bowl season, adopting Michigan’s iconic blue, staying off the internet, motorcycles, skiing with players, and an incredible 6,500-day workout streak. Taylor and Will close out the interview with a debrief on what stood out from the conversation. Later in the episode, Kevin Byard joins the show to preview Bears vs. Packers and talk through leadership in Chicago, starting slow amid outside noise, adapting to a new team, and what makes the Green Bay rivalry different. KB dives into game planning, defensive details, NIL hypotheticals, money vs. program culture, SEC vs. Big Ten debates, Ben Johnson vs. Mike Vrabel philosophies, Caleb Williams, and when he truly bought into the Bears’ locker room. The episode wraps with more Bussin chaos, clean takes, and a Stranger Things finale discussion to send it home. Big Hugs.Tiny Kisses.

Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham and Rich chronicle the timeline of him stepping down at Utah to taking the vacant Wolverines' job in the wake of Sherrone Moore's scandalous exit from Ann Arbor, the importance of keeping starting QB Bryce Underwood in the UM program, how much he's learned about Michigan football tradition, and being teammates with Suge Knight on the 1987 Rams team during the NFL strike. Rich and the guys discuss Tua Tagovailoa's uncertain future with the Miami Dolphins, the New York Giants' next head coach hire, and the New York Jets' long tradition of not being very good at football. Rich has some words of advice for Packers fans who want head coach Mike LaFleur fired if Green Bay has an early exit from the playoffs. Learn more about your ad choices.

The PFF grades tell a surprising story: Clayton Tune graded as the lowest offensive player despite looking solid on film, while Anthony Belton turned in his best performance of the season with an 84 pass blocking grade at right guard. On defense, Trevon Diggs led the way with an 81.5 grade, offering hope for his future in Green Bay. Plus, Daniel Whelan absolutely dominated with five punts inside the 20. Ryan also takes aim at Bears head coach Ben Johnson for his tone-deaf comments about "not sitting starters," breaking down exactly why that take is complete nonsense.

Aaron welcomes in Andy Herman of the Pack-A-Day podcast to break down Green Bay's regular season finale against the Vikings, which featured some pleasant surprise performances by a bevy of younger players.

It's game day, but it doesn't feel like game day. With Jordan Love sitting, Clayton Tune starting, and the Packers locked into their playoff spot, Ryan breaks down what might be the strangest week in recent Packers memory—and why he's completely at peace with whatever happens against the Vikings. The Packers have made a staggering 16 roster moves and 6 practice squad transactions since December 26, including placing 8 players on injured reserve. Ryan goes position-by-position through the entire roster, analyzing who must play, who should sit, and where the depth simply doesn't exist. From the excitement of seeing Trayvon Diggs in green and gold to the reality of starting backups across the board, this episode covers it all. Ryan also makes the case for fundamentals over intensity, comparing NFL preparation to UFC fight camps and explaining why he wants players making "business decisions" today. Plus, a breakdown of the playoff scenarios that could send Green Bay to either Philadelphia or Chicago—and which matchup offers the safest path forward.

The Vikings are coming to Lambeau, and we're going deep on every aspect of this Minnesota roster heading into Week 18. First, congratulations to Jordan Love and Ronica on their baby girl announcement—now there's some extra motivation for the postseason push. We break down the JJ McCarthy puzzle: a quarterback who exploded against Washington and Dallas only to post his worst game of the season against the Giants. Is the mental shift Kevin O'Connell talked about real, or were those performances just bad defenses making a young quarterback look good? The concerning answer might be both. Justin Jefferson's numbers tell a troubling story—his 78 receiving grade marks a significant drop from his career 90-grade baseline, and the chemistry issues with McCarthy have created drop problems across the entire receiving corps. We examine why Jordan Addison's 14.6% drop rate and the overall offensive dysfunction could work in Green Bay's favor. On defense, Minnesota's aging unit features 30-plus-year-old players at nearly every position, but coordinator Brian Flores has them playing their best football at the worst possible time—for them. We grade every position group from Jonathan Allen's declining production to Harrison Smith's painful 37-year-old decline, plus the emerging threats like Dallas Turner and Isaiah Rogers that could cause problems.

Week 2 Rerun, January Jolt The Detroit Lions Podcast opened with a shot of adrenaline from September. The NFL Network replayed the Week 2 demolition of the Chicago Bears. Detroit 52, Chicago 21. Jared Goff threw for 334 yards and five touchdowns with zero interceptions. Jahmyr Gibbs ripped 94 yards on the ground. David Montgomery added 57. Jameson Williams cleared 100 receiving yards and turned short catches into three touchdowns under 15 yards. The defense took the ball away twice and rang up four sacks. Tyson Bagent mopped up in garbage time. Jack Campbell flashed. Aidan Hutchinson collected a pair. Brian Branch made plays. It felt like a statement. After a flat Week 1 in Green Bay, that win reset the temperature on the season. For a minute, Detroit sat atop NFL power polls and looked like the class of the NFC. That broadcast stung a little. It reminded everyone what this roster looked like at full strength and how quickly it turned. Promise met attrition. Confidence met slippage on both sides of the ball. The Week 2 tape is still proof of concept. It is also a measuring stick for what has been lost. From Firepower to Triage The current injury sheet is brutal. Alex Anzalone is out with a concussion after a failed midweek push. Penei Sewell is out. Alim McNeill is out with an abdominal injury. Kerby Joseph is out. Brian Branch is out. Sam LaPorta is out. S C.J. Moore's replacement depth has thinned, and even “Harper” snaps matter now because the room is down three safeties. Avonte Maddox will play, but the secondary is patched together. Up front, the tackle plan is a guess. Giovanni Manu was not activated. Miles Frazier could be forced into a spot. Dan Skipper likely logs heavy work. Maybe “Yode” slides outside. Taylor Decker is fighting through it and has earned the benefit of the doubt. None of that stabilizes protection. It raises a real question about whether Goff should finish the season finale behind a compromised line. The idea of Kyle Allen getting meaningful snaps has merit. It is evaluation and preservation rolled into one. Season Finale Math The finale arrives tomorrow with little on the line for the Detroit Lions in the NFL standings. The Bears, the team Detroit roasted in September, have since won the division and are chasing the two seed. They get Green Bay next week. That development colors the mood. Detroit once ran away from Chicago. Now the roster is a shell of that September juggernaut. The calculus is simple. Health over hollow pride. Avoid new long-term injuries to Goff, Montgomery, Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and anyone already managing pain. Every sprain and strain now steals offseason recovery time. There is value in a winning record. There is much more value in a healthy spring. Use the finale to protect core pieces, test depth, and get out clean. The Week 2 blowout still matters. It shows what the Detroit Lions can be when whole. The job now is to make sure the next chance to look like that arrives with the roster intact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvnuoB40it8 #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #offensiveline #injuries #schedule #draft #quarterback #jaredgoff #taylordecker #offensivelineinjuries #offensivelinedepth #quarterbackplay Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's word of the day is ‘new beginnings' as in New Year as in 2026 as in the New England Patriots. What is going on there? Stefon Diggs could be in big trouble. Christian Barmore could be in big trouble. And head coach Mike Vrabel just wants to focus on football. (12:00) The Dallas Cowboys released Trevon Diggs.

(21:20) Tatsuya Imai is headed to the Houston Astros. One of the best free agents on the market is coming from Japan. But, what happened to the giant multi-year deals Imai and Murakami were supposed to get? (30:50) Anthony Rendon's time with the Los Angeles Angels is over. That's it. Rendon agreed to a settlement with the Angels that will see his full salary for the season differed. (36:40) Review: Pluribus. (41:00) NPPOD. (48:30) Let's end with some ratings talk!

On this episode of Norm Hitzges' Just Wondering, Norm rings in the new year by wondering whether a breakup everyone saw coming might actually work out—for both sides.The Cowboys officially move on from Trayvon Diggs, and Norm walks through how a once-promising marriage unraveled: injuries, disagreements over scheme, rehab disputes, fines, frustration, and a quiet but inevitable divorce. When Green Bay claims Diggs off waivers, Norm asks the real question—does Diggs still have that star cornerback inside him, and is this exactly what the Packers need heading into the playoffs?From there, Norm shifts gears to remind us that football doesn't always come down to four quarters, a coaching philosophy, or a season-long narrative. Sometimes, it really does come down to one play—and Norm breaks down a postseason moment where preparation, film study, and perfect execution turned a game on its head.It's a thoughtful, clear-eyed look at player fit, timing, accountability, and why change—when it finally happens—can feel overdue and perfectly logical at the same time.⏱️ Chapters00:00:00 - A New Year and a New Cowboys Question00:01:33 - Why the Diggs–Cowboys Split Was Inevitable00:02:18 - Rehab, Fines, and Philosophical Differences00:03:50 - When Frustration Becomes a Pattern00:04:36 - Waivers, Green Bay, and a Second Chance00:05:27 - Is the Old Trayvon Diggs Still in There?00:06:12 - Why the Packers Are Desperate at Corner00:07:38 - A Perfect Fit—or Just Convenient Timing?00:10:06 - When Defense Carries a Team That Can't Score00:11:40 - The Rare One-Play Football Game00:12:30 - Film Study, Preparation, and a Season-Changing Read00:14:16 - Why One Moment Can Define Everything Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

A recap of the madness from the college football playoff quarterfinals. Trevon Diggs is now with Micah Parsons in Green bay. Peyload: Bathroom trip gone bad and A.I has ruined 2026 already.

Matthew Coller of Purple Insider joins Scott Korzenowski for two segments of college bowl and Vikings discussion after we learned today that QB JJ McCarthy will be back for the Vikings this week as they wrap up their season against Green Bay.

Packers Beat Writer Ryan Wood joins Wisconsin Sports Daily to break down the latest injury news for the Packers before they take on the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Ryan explains why fans shouldn't expect much from Green Bay in Week 18.

Wayne Larrivee, the radio voice of the Green Bay Packers joined Ramie Mahklouf and Brandon Sneide to break down the week 18 meeting between Green Bay and Minnesota.

Packers and Vikings basically have a preseason game for Week 18. BUT, a busy week with roster moves. Packers take a flier on former All-Pro corner, Trevon Diggs. Cut by Dallas earlier in the week and claimed by Green Bay two days later. Packers also sign quarterback Desmond Ridder to their practice squad, Jordan Love is out of the concussion protocol but Clayton Tune starts on Sunday. College Football Playoff final four is set, and the Bucks drop another disheartening game at home to the Wizards on New Year's Eve. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The phones are ringing off the hook as Packer Nation processes another gut-wrenching loss and a three-game losing streak heading into the playoffs. Tonight's callers aren't holding back their frustrations, and the Rashaan Gary discourse has reached a boiling point. The big news drops mid-show as Trevon Diggs reportedly signs with Green Bay, sparking debate about whether the former Cowboys corner can resurrect his career in the same system that transformed Rasul Douglas. Callers also bid farewell to Malik Willis, with one suggesting Pittsburgh as his ideal landing spot to continue what Green Bay started. But the main event tonight is the avalanche of Rashaan Gary criticism. Multiple callers draw comparisons to Nick Perry, question his leadership abilities, and debate whether his contract is salvageable. The frustration extends to offensive linemen Banks and Rasheed Walker for drive-killing penalties, and some are even calling for Matt LaFleur's job. One caller sums up the mood perfectly: this team is broken. Despite the doom and gloom, we're still in the playoffs, and as the host reminds everyone, you don't have to be the better team, you just have to win. Rest up, get healthy, and anything can happen in January football. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The phones are ringing off the hook as Packer Nation processes another gut-wrenching loss and a three-game losing streak heading into the playoffs. Tonight's callers aren't holding back their frustrations, and the Rashaan Gary discourse has reached a boiling point. The big news drops mid-show as Trevon Diggs reportedly signs with Green Bay, sparking debate about whether the former Cowboys corner can resurrect his career in the same system that transformed Rasul Douglas. Callers also bid farewell to Malik Willis, with one suggesting Pittsburgh as his ideal landing spot to continue what Green Bay started. But the main event tonight is the avalanche of Rashaan Gary criticism. Multiple callers draw comparisons to Nick Perry, question his leadership abilities, and debate whether his contract is salvageable. The frustration extends to offensive linemen Banks and Rasheed Walker for drive-killing penalties, and some are even calling for Matt LaFleur's job. One caller sums up the mood perfectly: this team is broken. Despite the doom and gloom, we're still in the playoffs, and as the host reminds everyone, you don't have to be the better team, you just have to win. Rest up, get healthy, and anything can happen in January football. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Has any team ever lost four straight games and still made a Super Bowl run? With the Packers currently spiraling, we're diving deep into the historical data to find out exactly what we're dealing with. In this episode, we break down every team since 1999 that limped into the playoffs on a losing streak—from the 1999 Lions to the 2024 Steelers—and track their EPA and DVOA trends against where Green Bay sits right now. The results? Surprisingly hopeful. While most comparable teams went one-and-done, the Packers' final DVOA of 13.1 is actually HIGHER than all of them, and their regression pattern eerily mirrors the 2010 Super Bowl champions. We also shut down the Trevon Diggs fantasy with cold, hard PFF data—the Cowboys released him mid-week for a reason, and no, he's not better than what we have. Plus quick hits on Micah Parsons' successful ACL surgery and Zeke Elliott quietly filing retirement papers. The defense has tanked at minus-110 EPA per week while the offense holds steady. It's not impossible. It's just unlikely. And here's exactly how unlikely. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Midweek brought real news — and it forced a reality check.With Nate Hobbs and Kamal Hadden officially out for the season, the Packers made a surprising but necessary move by claiming Trevon Diggs off waivers. We break down why Green Bay felt compelled to spend real money, why Diggs could realistically start in the playoffs, and how thin the cornerback room truly is right now.We also address the Ravens loss, but not from a box score perspective. Malik Willis played near flawless football. The offensive game plan worked. The real problems were structural: no center depth, a broken interior offensive line, failed draft investments, and a defensive front that simply cannot survive bully-ball football.From Sean Rhyan snapping issues, to the inability to stop Derrick Henry, to Rashan Gary's alarming regression, this episode is about identifying personnel failures, not blaming play calling or effort.Finally, we shift to what actually matters now: Week 18. With the Packers locked into the 7 seed, we lay out exactly who must sit, who should play, how the roster should be managed, and why this game is about asset protection, health, and information — not winning.This is a reset episode. Less emotion. More clarity. And a hard look at how the Packers got here.

The Bears are NFC North champions. We definitely did not see that one coming. After a fun loss (I guess that can be a thing) on Sunday night at San Fran, the Bears are one win away from clinching the two seed and setting up a rematch in the Wild Card round with Green Bay. Oh baby. Dan Doinks leads the way this week for a vacationing Bill Doinks. Enjoy.

How well do we acclimate to the weather of this northern climate? Steve Thomson wonders about that. Later, Dane Mizutani offers a preview of the Vikings regular season finale against Green Bay.

"Don't confuse sacrifice and discipline with suffering." Ryan Clark Where did the time go? 2025 is wrapping up as we get ready to embrace the new endeavors, challenges and our biggest pivots that lie ahead in 2026! Ryan, Channing and Fred close out the year reflecting on the past 12 months of sports' biggest stories, headlines that dominated our feeds and personal milestones we embraced. We take account of our own self growth, missteps and ways we want to be better going forward knowing that perfection is an illusion, discipline and sacrifice are required for success and we take deep dive into the chaotic sports world. FBI takes on sports gambling, Luka trade to Dallas, Micah Parsons to Green Bay, Kansas City misses post season, Travis Kelce, Shedeur Sanders frenzy and the fall of Sean Diddy Combs...2025 had it's share of the unexpected and we discuss the impact of it all while the guys keep it real on the current state of the NFL. Channing says how the AFC North isn't what it used to be, Ryan says DK Metcalf incident could cost the Steelers their season and Fred weighs in on the possible end of the Chiefs dynasty. Pivoting to family, we talk about the vulnerable sides of parenting, from walking the line between wanting the best for our kids to pushing them too hard and how in the end happiness is the only true measure of how it turns out. Avoiding to set goals isn't always a bad thing while giving ourselves grace to make mistakes is how we've learned best. We also have a little fun talking about some viral fun scenarios and how we would respond to a wife's last wishes of a "casket pass". Pivot Family thank you for all the support, all the comments, the likes and follows- being on this journey with us means the world and we look forward to bringing more impactful conversations, stories and authentic content in 2026- Happy New Year, may it be filled with good health, family, memories and happiness.

Week 18 Door Opened, Lions Stumbled The NFL weekend handed the Detroit Lions every break. Green Bay got drilled. Chicago lost to San Francisco. A win-and-in shot with the Chicago Bears in Week 18 sat on the table. Detroit did not hold up its end. The Christmas loss to the Minnesota Vikings turned opportunity into regret. The Vikings were a known entity. They crowd the middle. They blitz. They play downhill. Detroit still walked into the trap. The result felt like a coaching loss from prep to whistle. That sting was familiar. The opener against Green Bay carried the same scent. The Detroit Lions Podcast audience heard the frustration. A good team played small in a gotta-have-it moment. NFC Results That Framed It Everything else aligned. The Packers got blown away. Jordan Love was out. Baltimore rolled, and Derrick Henry ran wild. Malik Willis played well before leaving hurt again. Chicago then dropped a high-scoring thriller to the 49ers on Sunday night. The Bears sit high in the NFC mix, pending what the Rams do. Seattle sits at number one. All of it kept a Week 18 showdown in play. Detroit only needed to cash its Christmas ticket. It did not. The 12 Personnel Trap on Offense The offensive plan made it harder. Detroit leaned into 12 personnel and pounded inside. That shrank the field. Linebackers crept up. Safeties walked down. Put Shane Zylstra or Giovanni Ricci in the slot and defenses do not fear the seam. They crowd the box and choke the space where Detroit wanted to live. Spacing matters. You chase linebackers and safeties off with speed and threat. Kalif Raymond changes leverage. Isaac Teslaw does too. Use them to widen the second level and clear seams. Detroit instead condensed everything and invited contact. Inside runs met free hitters. Protection saw extra bodies and late blitzers. The Vikings love that fight. Detroit gave it to them snap after snap. Irrespective of line play, the structure was off. The Lions drew defenders into the very area they targeted. That is backwards. Against an aggressive front, widen, stress, and punish. Detroit did not. Coaching Heat: Campbell and Morton This one lands on the headsets. Dan Campbell as play caller. John Morton as offensive coordinator. Minnesota started Max Brosmer and had backups across the offensive line. Short week for both teams. The Vikings still looked more prepared for what Detroit would do than Detroit was for what Minnesota always does. That is the rub. The worry now is persistence. Keeping Morton in any capacity invites more of the same. Scheme must create its own luck. Preparation must steal downs. The Lions can manufacture it with smarter spacing, better personnel groupings, and quicker answers to pressure. Week 18 still offers meaning. The path narrowed because Detroit gave it away. The fix is not mystical. It is alignment, speed on the field, and a plan that refuses to play to an opponent's strength. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnAcmdsNjlw #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #minnesotavikings #chicagobears #greenbaypackers #sanfrancisco49ers #jordanlove #derrickhenry #malikwillis #12personnel #lateblitzers #spacing Learn more about your ad choices.
