Episode Ep. 390 Packers Optimism vs. Reality, Schedule Storylines & One Word Chaos Cover

Beschreibung

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

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.

Ep. 393 Packers Pressure, Breakout Candidates & Matt LaFleur’s Redemption Tour

Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio and Will Sommers dive deep into what the Packers need to become a legitimate Super Bowl team in 2026, separating the roster into two categories: players who need to break out and players who must evolve into true NFL stars. The conversation centers around Jordan Love officially taking ownership of the offense, Christian Watson’s potential leap into elite territory, and whether Tucker Kraft, Evan Williams and Edgerrin Cooper are on the verge of national stardom. The guys debate whether Matt LaFleur is poised for a major bounce-back season after a disappointing 2025 campaign and discuss why this season has to be viewed as “Super Bowl or bust” following three straight playoff appearances. They also break down concerns surrounding the offensive line, Micah Parsons’ absence early in the year, and whether Green Bay finally has enough high-end talent to compete with the NFC’s elite. Later, the crew pivots into another heated Brewers-Cubs rivalry discussion as Milwaukee climbs back into first place behind Jacob Misiorowski’s dominance and continued pitching depth. They react to Cubs fans unraveling online, Pete Crow-Armstrong controversy, weird Twitter group chats devoted to hating PCA, and why the Brewers continue to frustrate big-market fanbases despite spending far less money. The episode wraps with reactions to Aaron Rodgers officially announcing 2026 will be his final NFL season, plus One Word Wednesday featuring a fake mentalist scandal, golfer drama at the PGA Championship, and the latest examples of athletes and fans going completely off the rails.
