episode Ep. 390 Packers Optimism vs. Reality, Schedule Storylines & One Word Chaos cover

Beskrivelse

Alex Strouf and Will Sommers roll through a Wednesday edition of Mr. Irrelevant—without Josh DiMaggio (again)—and break out the full “list edition” of the show. Strouf lays out his top reasons for optimism and concern heading into the Packers’ 2026 season, from Jordan Love’s prime and a revamped defense to lingering questions at cornerback, running back depth, and the ever-nerve-wracking kicker position. The guys also preview key storylines ahead of the NFL schedule release, including potential marquee matchups, Thanksgiving game possibilities, and which early-season games could define Green Bay’s trajectory. Elsewhere, it’s classic Mr. Irrelevant chaos: coffee spills, Will’s elite history of accidental drink disasters, a deep dive into bizarre sports stories during One Word Wednesday, and an unexpectedly hilarious segment where Strouf admits to not seeing some of the most iconic movies ever made—leading to a crowdsourced “must-watch” list from listeners. The episode wraps with golf talk, weekend plans, and just enough randomness to keep things perfectly on-brand.

episode Ep. 399 Christian Watson Gets Paid, Bears Leave Chicago & Strouf’s Towing Nightmare cover

Ep. 399 Christian Watson Gets Paid, Bears Leave Chicago & Strouf’s Towing Nightmare

Christian Watson is officially staying in Green Bay, and the guys spend most of the show breaking down his new four-year, $110.5 million contract extension. Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio, and Will Sommers debate why the Packers were willing to make such a significant investment, what Watson has already proven, and whether his ceiling justifies the price tag. They also discuss how the deal impacts Jordan Love, the future of the Packers’ passing game, and what it says about Green Bay’s belief in Watson as a cornerstone piece of the offense. Away from Green Bay, the guys react to the latest Bears stadium developments after reports that Chicago could leave the city limits for a new stadium project in Hammond, Indiana. They discuss what that would mean for one of the NFL’s oldest franchises and whether Bears fans should embrace or reject the idea. Kiesean Nixon’s comments about the rivalry also spark plenty of discussion and laughs. The show also features one of the most ridiculous Alex Strouf stories to date, as he recounts getting his car towed after forgetting to renew his license plate registration. What follows is a comedy of errors involving parking enforcement, tow lots, paperwork, and an unexpected $20 reward from a stranger. As always, the episode wraps up with GeoSports, where geography and sports knowledge collide with predictably chaotic results.

Ep. 397 Do the Packers Need to Answer the Rams? + Giannis to OKC?

The NFL world shifted moments before the show when Myles Garrett was dealt to the Rams, and Alex Strouf and Josh DiMaggio dive into what it means for the Packers’ Super Bowl hopes. With Los Angeles loading up for another title run, the guys debate whether Green Bay should make a move of its own, including the possibility of targeting Josh Sweat to bolster the pass rush. The conversation also turns to the Bucks, as Oklahoma City emerges as a fascinating potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade partner following the Thunder’s playoff disappointment. Plus, Strouf unveils his first-ever edition of “Will’s Weekend in Review,” featuring Jacob Misiorowski’s dominance, Brewers success, and a performance that may or may not earn rave reviews. The hour wraps with NFL offseason oddities, charity softball game concerns, and a spirited discussion about soccer fans ahead of the World Cup.

Ep. 395 Josh Jacobs Arrested, Brewers Swagger & OTA Updates

Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio and Will Sommers return from Memorial Day weekend with a loaded episode that starts with major concern surrounding Packers running back Josh Jacobs after reports emerge of his arrest and multiple domestic violence-related allegations. The guys break down what is currently known, what remains unclear, and what the situation could mean for Green Bay’s already thin running back room heading into 2026. They also react to Matt LaFleur’s comments from OTAs, Marshawn Lloyd’s growing importance, and whether the Packers may now need to explore outside running back options before training camp. From there, the crew dives headfirst into Packers OTA overreactions season, including Trey Smack’s kicking debut, Brandon Cissé and Brenton Cox Jr. “would-be sacks,” Bo Melton returning to wide receiver duties, and why “best shape of my life” season has officially arrived in Green Bay. The guys debate which Packers are true breakout candidates, who could become All-Pros, and whether this season really is “Super Bowl or bust” for Jordan Love, Matt LaFleur and the Packers. The Brewers segment turns into full-on rivalry chaos as Milwaukee climbs into first place while Cubs fans spiral into despair. The crew reacts to Abner Uribe’s legendary DX-style “suck it” celebration toward the Cardinals dugout, Pat Murphy’s disappointment, and the bizarre tension surrounding sign-stealing accusations between Milwaukee and St. Louis. Plus: Pete Crow-Armstrong slander, Cubs misery, and why Brewers baseball has officially become appointment viewing again.
