• Jason Wilde on JM&M
    Sep 27 2024
    Jason Wilde joins Jim Rutledge and Alex G to discuss the Packers - Vikings and the big question mark for Sunday's game: how likely is it that Jordan Love will return after being listed as questionable for the second week in a row? What can we make of Matt LaFleur's newest non-answer line that "of course we're concerned" when asked about Love's health status. Also, what does Jason make of Jim and G's debate about whether you can start making sharp judgements on teams after the first 3 weeks of the season? Also, how will fans react to Aaron Jones return to Lambeau Field, and should Jones still have a grudge against Green Bay despite his heartfelt letter in the Players' Tribune? More importantly, G needs to know how the high school homecoming debut went for Jason's daughter last week!

  • 4PM: Packers' Questionable Strategy for Jordan Love
    Sep 27 2024
    Jim Rutledge and Alex Gravatt hold things down on Phish Friday with Matt and Molly both still out in Colordao and Chicago, respectively. Jim and G get right into it for their Packers vs Vikings preview, debating whether Minnesota would've kept Green Bay out of the playoffs last year if Kirk Cousins had remained healthy. How much can we really take from the first 3 weeks of the season, and is Week 4 the starting point for when we should really start to judge teams? Is it revisionist history to say that we shouldn't have been surprised by Sam Darnold being one of the best QBs in the NFL to start the season?

More importantly, G needs to know how the high school homecoming debut went for Jason's daughter last week! Jim wraps up Hour 1 by having G give his list of the teams that he's ready to say WILL NOT make the playoffs, and is it unfair to already say that the Bears definitely will not make it?

    Sep 27 2024
    Jim Rutledge & Alex Gravatt make up and let the fans know that they it's nothing but Love after a spirited Packers-Vikings-Bears debate in Hour 1. Jim isn't willing to write off almost any team from playoff contention after the first three weeks of the season, and G isn't willing to say that the Packers WON'T win if Malik Willis has to start. Don't Quote Me week 3 actually features a new open, as the whole crew gives their longshot predictions for Sunday's Packers-Vikings games (including Matt Hamilton's message from an air strip and Molly Brown's prediction via carrier pigeon aka text). What are the key swinging points outside of whether Jordan Love plays, and why do they all have to do with Aaron Jones and the performance of the Packers defense. Poll Dancing features questions about if the Packers ACTUALLY have a defense, how to behave as fans if Aaron Jones tries to Lambeau Leap, and G's favorite -- a morning cuddle alarm! They wrap up with an ode to the magical world of Harry Potter and the late, great Maggie Smith.

    Sep 26 2024
    Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins Jim Rutledge and Alex Gravatt to talk Packers-Vikings and Aaron Jones' return to Green Bay. First, they discuss the news of Derek Rose's retirement earlier this morning and today's poll question: who is the Derek Rose of Wisconsin sports (a great young player whose career was derailed by injury)? Plus, how badly did Alex Gravatt misrepresent Jim's "fair" poll question about who Badger Football fans would want as the team's head coach right now. Did Jim poke the Bear in the Don by even asking the question, and should he be thinking G for even putting him on Barry's radar? They also talk with Evan about how Packers fans might welcome back Aaron Jones to Lambeau Field, and was the Packers signing Josh Jacobs the Wisconsin version of what the Cubs did by hiring Craig Counsell to replace David Ross??
