  • Not smart & boring

    Herman is 10x better and more entertaining honestly. Some of the takes that come out of this guy are baffling for anyone that follows the team closely, you’d assume he’d be a bit more plugged in. I listen once I’ve caught up on all other Packers podcasts, but even then I find myself flipping this off before it ends lol.

  • By far the best Packers podcast online

    In a media age of cringey hot takes and incessant shouting, this podcast is a very welcome and refreshing departure. The solo style is perfect for people, like me, who prefer quieter, more cerebral analysis. So much detail presented in a digestible manner, mapping back to the big picture. You could probably delete all the other Packer shows and have this keep you updated. Keep up the great work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

919 - Catching up on the Packers' non-Parsons roster moves
Q: Is Javon Bullard not being in a clear starting position at any defensive back position more a testament to our strength than it is an indictment of his talent?
It's both a sign of the Packers' depth at defensive back and an indicator of Bullard's current standing.
919 - Catching up on the Packers' non-Parsons roster moves
Q: Will having Parsons on the team add to the learning experience for players being able to see firsthand and being able to talk with him about how he does all he does?
While it can't hurt, the unique abilities of great players like Parsons may not be easily teachable to others.
912 - Building a watch list for the Packers' first preseason game
Q: Do you have thoughts on the league selling NFL Network, Red Zone and stuff to ESPN?
The deal could potentially hurt media coverage of the NFL due to the NFL's increased influence over ESPN, which raises concerns about journalistic integrity.
912 - Building a watch list for the Packers' first preseason game
