Most of you guys out there haven't heard number one, which is the greatest news my wife and I are expecting our first child. So there you go, greatest news right there. That's the greatest news. Aaron already knew, so he's acting surprised over there, but he already knew about it and then so so we went to a vaccine talk tonight, basically about what do's and don'ts have given vaccines to kids and everything like that. But that's why we're a little late.

Speaker 2:

Second great news that I told you guys coming back here I said friday I'd have some exciting news for you guys. The show. Show will be. It'll be broadcasted on 92, three WOSQ coming soon. February 12th is the start date for that one. We'll be on 92, three WOSQ. So that's great news. There's a show will be on the radio. That's going to be awesome. Just got done, talking with some of the some of the radio guys today there and we're we're all excited. We're all really excited to get this thing up off the ground there, start out small one day a week, work our way up after that see what happens there. But hey, we got lots get into tonight. That's enough about that. Enough about that. Let's get into tonight here. Aaron, how we doing tonight. Aaron is with me tonight here. Co-host the show.

Speaker 3:

Aaron, how we doing yeah, yeah, I can't complain, man. You got a lot going on in your neck of the woods with that, but uh, once again, congratulations for sure that's, that's big lifetime, big life stuff, right, but yeah, we, uh, we're starting to warm up a little bit over here, not as frigid I hope you guys aren't as like iced no, we're just totally frozen. You're kind of thawing out. But yeah, you know not doing, not doing bad. You know um nfl championship weekend. So exciting time of the year, exciting weekend, as always.

Speaker 2:

It is frigid, cold all the time. Today. I thought it was supposed to be like a high of 20 today. Now it was negative 14. When I woke up this morning 6 o'clock, get off to work, it was absolutely terrible. So that's how the day started. That's how the day started. It was just one of those days Went to work, got some stuff done, had the vaccine talk about with radio guys, had the vaccine talk.

Speaker 2:

It was great. It was all good, all good. There had some sushi from quit trip. Love quit trip. So I don't think this is a diss when I say this. I got some sushi at quit trip.

Speaker 2:

Okay, and I know what people are thinking. Right, why do you get gas station sushi? I'm fine with it. Like, I don't hate gas station sushi, I love quit trip. I love their. I love their sushi. I had to have there.

Speaker 2:

The only problem was is this one I feel like just came off the truck because it is rock solid? I was sitting here and aaron and I were talking before the show. Here we're kind of getting everything situated and figured out and I went to go bite into what I'm like this is hard as a rock. Like I can't do this, like are you kidding me right now? So sushi's off to the side. I'm thinking about putting. I gotta get a little microwave or heater down here or something to warm them babies up, but right now a little too solid, a little too solid to eat there. But, aaron, we got lots to get into tonight here, so let's get on with it. The this is the greatest thing that could have happened to the packers bears rivalry. This is the greatest thing that could have happened to the Packers-Bears rivalry. This is the greatest thing.

Speaker 2:

Ben Johnson hired recently hired, and I thought it was a great hire for the Bears. He's a great offensive mind, great offensive mind to bring into that system. Try to help out Cale Williams right now. Ben Johnson gave us the most bizarre, the most. I don't even know what to make of the comments that he made. So they asked him about you know they're just talking to him, asking about some of the questions. You know talking to him about the NFC North and everything like that. He said he wanted to stay in the division because of how good the division was, the NFC North, and he said Dan Campbell and Kevin O'Connell, those are great coaches there. He said they're great coaches and you know they one of them is going to be up for player of the year or coach of the year. The other one could be right up there with him and Kevin O'Connell.

Speaker 2:

And then he came to Matt LaFleur and he goes and, to be quite frank with you, I kind of enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year. Now, aaron, I can be honest with you. So when I hear that it's like, okay, right, you're trying to be that Bears guy, right, you're trying to be that Bears guy, you're trying to meet the fans quota, at that point and I get that, right, you want to get the fans all riled up. Oh, yeah, ben Johnson's coming. He's going to be the savior that come down here and fix us, just like Eber Flus and just like everybody before that. Right, but this is the odd part. This is the odd part for me. Matt LaFleur and Ben Johnson aren't friends. They don't know each other. They know of each other. They're not friends. They weren't coworkers, they didn't work together back in the day. Nothing, nothing. You cross-reference these guys. Their paths have never crossed.

Speaker 2:

And yet this felt like a comment and I don't know if it's just me, but this felt like a comment. Like, aaron, you're gonna go coach the uh or no, let's just go, aaron, you're gonna go coach the the eagles and I'm gonna go up there and coach the packers. I'll be one of the assistant coaches, right. And you're like I can't wait to beat trajan up. I can't wait to beat trage, right, can't wait to beat him up there. Like we talked here, we're good friends. Like we're good, right, makes sense. They're not friends. Low, blow beneath the belt, disrespect. Tell them how it is.

Speaker 2:

And if this doesn't irk Matt LaFleur, if this doesn't just piss him off, because to me this would just tick me off this would get me riled up like let's go, you want to play, let's play. All right, boys, I don't care if we lose all the games, but two next year I want to beat the bears twice. I said that. Right, when I heard that comment I was like I don't. I looked at my co-worker. We're sitting in the van listening to bill michaels. Looked at my co-worker. I was like I don't care if the packers win all, but they win two games next year. I don't care if the Packers win all but they win two games next year. I don't care If it's against the Bears, that's all that matters to me.

Speaker 2:

Just because of that, just because of this silly, I don't even understand the comment, honestly. Like it was like a friendly, like you're trying to make a friendly joke I don't know if you're trying to make a friendly joke Like this was a joke that if Ben Johnson would have made it at Dan Campbell, okay, I get it. If Aaron Glenn would have stayed in the division and he said, oh, I can't wait to beat Aaron Glenn, sure that makes sense. But to say essentially that Dan Campbell and Kevin O'Connell those guys, two guys are up for coach of the year. They're up for coach of the year, but I just love beating Matt LaFleur twice. That leads me to another question, aaron.

Speaker 2:

It almost feels like there's no respect for Matt LaFleur, no respect, and I got to be quite honest, I don't think he's earned the respect I don't think he has yet. Yeah, you won games, sure, sure you win a lot of games. That's awesome, right. But what's going to happen if Lions fans ask Lions fans what's going to happen if you just have continuous you know, divisional round losses? They're going to get upset. They're going to start losing their minds. Look at the Packers. What did they do with Aaron Rodgers when Matt LaFleur got there there.

Speaker 2:

It looked good in the regular season. They got into the playoffs. They made it to the nfc championship game fell apart. Matt lafleur could not get them over that next hump. He couldn't beat those better coaches, right, shanahan, mcfay, all them. He cannot beat them. He cannot beat them in the biggest moments.

Speaker 2:

So ben johns is just like hey, I, I don't, I don't respect this guy. It almost feels like that, like when you say comments like that I don't respect this guy. It almost feels like that Like when you say comments like that you don't respect this guy, you don't, you don't care. Like yeah, he's, he's a good coach, it's not great coach, he's not great, he's not over the top. And I think honestly, if you asked a lot of coaches out there, they'd probably say that you know, I Sirianni. To me I feel like he's kind of in that same boat too sometimes, where it's like I don't feel like a lot of coaches respect Sirianni. He's got all the outside noise with him and you know other guys out there Dable, you got Dable out there.

Speaker 2:

But then you look at the respected coaches, right? Ain't nobody saying that about Mike Tomlin? Ain't nobody saying that about John Harbaugh, jim Harbaugh. Nobody's saying that about John Harbaugh, jim Harbaugh, nobody's saying that about Sean Payton. I guarantee it they're not talking about him. And nobody's going to say that about Pete Carroll, who for some reason is getting signed back with the Raiders there. That one. But nobody's saying those things about those coaches. Nobody's saying anything about Dan Campbell, right? Or even Gavin O'Connell or Matt LaFleur. I don't know. Aaron, I want to hear your opinion. I want to hear your opinion on that one. What do you think about that? When you hear that and you hear I get, it's a Bears thing, right, and he wanted to get his fans riled up. But this is an adversary, right, this is an opposing coach and most of these coaches don't try to pick fights. But this felt like a low blow to me. This felt like one of them low blow shots that you're like yeah, I like beating it twice a year, buddy. Yeah, you kind of stay. Stay down there.

Speaker 3:

Absolutely. I mean, there's so many, so many different directions. I could go with this Like. When I first heard this, too, I was like, I was perplexed man. I was like, first of all, the first thing that came to my mind was like um, not to, you know, judge a book by its cover, and stuff like that. But I'm watching ben johnson, you know, walking around this this bears, you know, this whole this building. I guess it's a stadium, right, he's just like in the hallway, though, and he, he just acts like this. He's walking around. He's like bill belichick or something I just get this mesmerized he's mesmerized walking around.

Speaker 2:

Like. This thing's a dump. This is a toilet seat sitting next to a Lake right now, and you're acting like you're mesmerized walking in here.

Speaker 3:

I almost, I almost got the impression like, oh, I'm Ben Johnson, I'm the best thing and I, I just got this, like, yeah, now I'm rooting against the guy I don't know and now I sound like you know, a cheesehead through and through, because I'm like anti-Bears, as can be. But I'm like, look man, you've never been a head coach in this league. Like I can appreciate what you did, you know, in Detroit there and you've done good things. But to take a shot at a guy who's, I mean like you know, we're not going to say Matt LaFleur is an elite coach, right, but we're going to say, you know, he's won playoff games. I mean, he had them, you know, very competitive against the 49ers, you know, a season ago, who went to the Super Bowl, you know, out of the NFC there. So I just Ben Johnson, to me you're stirring the pot already Like you haven't even like coached, you know you haven't been a head coach for a game right, a head coach for for a game right. And you're already like, ah, this Matt LaFleur guy, I'm better than him, like that's what I got the vibe, that like I'm better than you. And it's like, hey, buddy, you know Dan Campbell was the one manning the ship there in Detroit, not you.

Speaker 3:

That's what I would say. Like until you've, I'm not gonna say he's gonna be a bad coach, he's gonna be a good coach, we don't know. But I mean, you talk about like that's almost like a Rex Ryan approach, like I'm just going to take shots as soon as I can because I'm the man I'm feeling myself. You know, I just woke up on the right side of the bed Like I just that rubs me the wrong way. And you know we cut up Matt LaFleur. You know plenty on the show. That's not something we're going to hide. But, man, with all due respect, I would say Ben Johnson, if I'm Matt LaFleur, I'd probably just let it go because you don't want to give them bulletin board material. But I would almost be thinking, if I'm Matt LaFleur, I'm like who is this guy Really? Who is this guy?

Speaker 3:

I mean come on.

Speaker 2:

I love it for the Packers. I do because of what you just said Bulletin board material. You take that baby Just like. And they said it perfectly. After the Vikings and Lions game. After the game, dan Campbell, kevin O'Connell, came out. They met each other at the center of the field and Dan Campbell said see you in two weeks. That's what he told them. The Rams, immediately after that, took that picture, slapped it up in the locker room and said this is what was said. And the Rams went out there and they beat the Vikings and they took care of their business. And that's what I want to see Matt LaFleur do. I want him to take receipts.

Speaker 2:

Dan Campbell went into this last season and his exact words were he had games circled on the calendar and he said those are the games I can't wait for. And we knew one of them was Green Bay and we knew there was some other ones on that list, probably the 49ers, probably some other ones that he got felt like they were embarrassed the Dallas Cowboys. With that two point conversion he was going to make sure they annihilated them down there, right? This is what I want out of Matt LaFleur. I want you to find whatever you can to get the boys up, get them going right. Take can to get the boys up, get them going right. Take this and say hey, you guys, are my boys right? This is what he had to say. This is what he had to say. He loves beating us twice a year. Take it to him. Go down to that toilet bowl in chicago, there, where nobody wants to play. Go down there and light them up and that's all you need. Sometimes that's all you need. You just need to jack the boys up. This is it, and I love it. I love it. I want the feuds. I do. Lovey smith had that. He said his number one goal when he came into um, the bears there was to beat green bay.

Speaker 2:

So it's just ben johnson trying to steal a punchline, I guess, essentially. But there there's no love there. There's no love there between ben johnson and matt lafleur. These two don't know each other, they don't't care. You know, like we saw Eber Flus and Matt LaFleur I believe they were up at a Marquette basketball game and they were sitting courtside next to each other, like that. That was weird, but like he got over it, he understood it, I guess. Now it's like I don't understand this one. No, no, no. We don't like. I can't wait. I can't wait for Packers-Bears now, because that, if it's not cinema, should be cinema. Matt LaFleur's got to put that baby up on there like bulletin board material and let his team have it, because if you can't get the boys up after that, I don't know what it is.

Speaker 3:

I don't know what you can do I just look at it like where I mean, like I get, if they weren't rivals, I would really, you know, scratch my head on this one.

Speaker 1:

That's the only thing.

Speaker 3:

That's the only thing I can point to is like, hey, you know, let's get the Chicago fan base hype, let's build the hype for the rivalry, like this, that and the third with that. But I really, truly believe, like he, ben Johnson's in over his head a little bit on this Cause, you know he, that team finished fourth in the division this year, you know, albeit fourth in the division this year, you know, albeit with Ibraflues, whatever. But we don't know if Ben Johnson can be a head coach. We don't know. That that's the thing. And now you're already like, okay, I have respect for the Vikings coach, right, I have respect for Dan Campbell, right, like you know.

Speaker 3:

But Matt LaFleur, the Packers, like I don't care, it's almost like he's chalking it up to like, well, we'll beat them the two games, we see them next year. Like they haven't even played a game yet with him as the head coach, like that's bold man. And I got to say, like the way he was just carrying himself there in the Bears, you know, facility Bears Stadium, whatever it might be there, I just I don't know man. Like I don't know man. Like you're real confident and you haven't coached one game, I get you were a coordinator. You saw Dan Campbell do it, doesn't? I mean? Look how many guys from the Belichick tree tried to do it. Couldn't do it, you know, I just I don't know.

Speaker 2:

He didn't feel to me, didn't feel like a coach who just lost in a game. No God kind of lit up, like he didn't feel like that. He almost looked like he did some smelling salts in the car and then walked in the door like he was at willy wonka's chocolate factory and ate the wrong chocolate off the ground and now he was seeing stuff and floating around like that's it was. It was odd, like it was. It was very, he's, very energetic. I'll give him that. Like I was watching him on the sideline, I thought he was like a more mellowed out kind of person. Maybe got a little hostile every once in a while, but more mellowed out. And then watching him in that press conference and watching him talk to everybody, like he gets, he gets out there, he gets out there. I mean I'm not. I'm not hoping that the guy fails, because I hate to say that I hope that guys fail. I really do.

Speaker 2:

But he's a coach of the Bears now and the Bears they just suck, they just suck. So welcome to mediocrity, man. Welcome to mediocrity. You should have stayed with the Lions. If you would have stayed with the Lions, you had a fighting shot. Now you're with the Bears. Good luck to you.

Speaker 3:

And two things to that. He got his payday right. So this was like I'm sure he was feeling himself. I mean, he might have bought himself a Mercedes or something. You know just something, right, like the guy was. Just, you know, the way he was acting was just a little odd to me. But, like you said, energetic energetic's a good word, right To not be, to not be negative and taking hits on him. But the only other thing is, like Craig Council, right, right, I can kind of different story. You know just different way of going about it. Right, but you know you were a friend. You know I guess you don't really consider the lions your friends, right, but you're not like I can't stand them. Now you go to the arch rival.

Speaker 2:

I can't stand you, like that's fair to say you know, you just went from being likable to hateable within a couple days, like that's what you did. That's what you did there. So I mean, if it would have went to the cowboys, I wouldn't, I wouldn't have cared. But now we're a bear fan there. So all right, we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. But ben johnson and matt lafleur hopefully the feud is on, hopefully matt lafleur does answer. He's like hey, buddy, yeah, you got like three wins in the last 20 attempts there in chicago. So like, bring it on any day of the week. I got a good record against you. Maybe I don't against the Lions right now, but I got a good record against the Bears. So shut up. All right, just shut up.

Speaker 1:

We got to get to an ad break.

Speaker 2:

We're going to come back. We got lots to get into. Yeah, we're going to talk a little about basketball because they got Nebraska coming to town here on Sunday, so we want to talk about that game. We got more Packer talk to get into later out there. Make sure you're commenting and let us know what you think and everything like that as we go along here, so we'll see you guys on the other side this show is brought to you by these fantastic sponsors, pittsville farm and home center.

Speaker 1:

At the store they serve you anything from hydraulic hoses to red roses. Stop in see the awesome crew at pittsville farm and home center in pittsville. Next we have sport and spinely in Onalaska. Do you have a sports club or team? Are you looking for some sweet custom uniforms or apparel? Check out the awesome crew at Game Day. Supply in on alaska to help your team get the sweetest gear sweet gear indeed.

Speaker 2:

I got the t-shirt on tonight, right now. I got the t-shirt on over here. You gotta check that baby out. They got lots of good stuff down there for all your sporting needs. Check out game day supply. So we got lots to get into. I want to get to the badgers, though, because the badgers have a big one coming up here against nebraska. That that game's interesting for me. We got a little special guy coming back to madison there, and that guy is the name of connor. Assision is on his way back. You know, connor went through his time in madison.

Speaker 2:

I liked him, I really did. I thought he had a lot of promise to be a very good shooter for the Badgers. It's just his defense it never fit the bill, and Greg guard didn't give him the playing time, didn't feel like he earned the playing time, and I I saw it, I did. I loved the scoring. There was times last year where I said to myself nobody else is playing defense, so why are we penalizing Connor for not playing defense at this point? We need more offense, this defense. So why are we penalizing Connor for not playing defense at this point? We need more offense, this system.

Speaker 2:

I feel like he would have fit a little bit better into, but I feel like on the defensive end he would not have improved the Badgers at all. So I think that was his biggest downfall and it continues to be his biggest downfall, with even Nebraska, their scoring. Scoring's never been an issue. So anybody who wants to say that scoring is a problem, scoring has never been an issue for Connoror Esiason. It will continuously be defense. That's what you got to say. It'll continuously be defense. And it's not to the point where he was almost. I mean, at times I don't want to say a liability, but a liability on the defensive end. And that's what lost a lot of people and that's what lost Greg Gard. It wasn't to the fact of he couldn't do it, it was just to the fact of he couldn't do it, it was just to the fact of he wasn't efficient on the defensive end at all. And that's what kind of lost a lot of Badger fans and lost Greg Gard's faith in him there.

Speaker 2:

But it's going to be interesting because I don't feel like a lot of Badger fans are lost on him. They don't hate him. There's some guys where they leave, like if AJ Storr came back to Wisconsin playing for Kansas. Now he sucks at Kansas but he came back and played Wisconsin Like I would give him the business If I was in the crowd I would give him all the business and then some. Because he took like millions of dollars to go suck at Kansas when he could have taken less to play at Wisconsin and, you know, fulfill and probably be better set for the NBA right now he's.

Speaker 2:

Actually, I would say if you honestly look at his stats, from what he did last year to this year, he's hurting himself at Kansas and it actually sucks. Because I liked him up until February when I heard that he was basically one foot out the door already and the season wasn't even over and the Badgers were still on a pretty good path to make the NCAA tournament make a good run in the NCAA tournament and he was already gone. He was done. He was done with Wisconsin. So that's the crappy part about the ncaa now that's the crap about it all. But connor season just didn't get to playing time in madison, so he had one foot out the door. He left, went to nebraska. There he's been getting a lot more time but the defense is still not there. But not a lot of hate, right? John blackwell said that that's my guy for life. I'm proud of him. When he's talking about connor season greg guard.

Speaker 2:

He was asked about Connor's season. He said there's a lot of things he's seen this season on tape that he's seen in the past. Said a season has benefited from flanked by guards Bryce Williams and Juwan Gary, both fantastic guards. We're going to talk about them, but that's been a lot. He also went on to say you know, talking about what they've been doing with him in Nebraska was a lot of the similar stuff that Greg Gard's been running for him in Madison. So you're starting to see a little translation there. Greg Gard's like I got you, I see what you're doing, I know what you want to do. I'm going to shut that crap down. We hope that he's right there. We'll see what kind of happens there. We know Connor's a good shooter right.

Speaker 2:

I want to get some of the key players in this game for Nebraska First off. Bryce Williams that's the guy you got to talk about all the time, the senior guard there 18 and a half points per game, 47% from the field and he's got about two and a half assists on the season so far. So he shares the basketball well, and that 37% from downtown not a bad percentage at all. So I mean Bryce Williams he's our leading scorer for a reason Fantastic guard, senior guard there. A lot of experience in that backcourt for him. Juwan Gary, the 6'6 forward there plays a little bit of I'm going to get onto it here but he plays a little bit of the forward, but he also gets into the wing spot too. So he's a very versatile guard and we're going to talk about that here. But he averages 12 and a half points per game there. Four and a half rebounds 47%, 42.7% from the field. On the season there for Juwan Gary. So he's been fantastic for him on the season there for Juwan Gary. So he's been fantastic for him.

Speaker 2:

Conner's season that's where I want to get to. Six foot four guard there 11 and a half points per game, 43% from the field and 41% from downtown. So Conner's been shooting it well on this young season here. And then Raleigh Worcester Now you look at the numbers, he's not in the top four in points per game. I didn't care about the fourth guy there, raleigh Worcester. He's like I'm trying to think he's like your max classmate and he has the potential to be a game wrecker. So that's why I added him onto my key players in this game for Nebraska.

Speaker 2:

He's a gamer. He gets down and dirty, he gets into the lane, he's going to do the dirty work. He's a guard there. A 6'5 guard Averages about eight points per game. But he's a guy where you've got to keep an eye on him. He shares the basketball. It's 2.8 assists per game. He shares the basketball well. But what I love about him, what I'm going to hate about him, is his ability to get down and play dirty and get to the rack. So that's something Badgers have to keep an eye on. With him and Riley Woester there as a team, 33% from three, 46% from the field on the season. There they're about 75% from the line. Not great, not terrible 12.2 turnovers per game. So you know you can turn them over a little bit. So that's something to keep an eye on there for the Badgers 2.8 blocks and eight steals. So the Badgers in this one here the turnover battle is going to be a big thing to watch out for there.

Speaker 2:

Because the Badgers against UCLA you want to talk about what lost in the game. I know everybody's like oh, it was the officiating. It was the officiating and I even yelled about the officiating because it did suck. But turnovers 13-7. You're not going to win many games when you turn the basketball over 13 times In a two-point game or a one-point. That's the difference. That is. The major difference is 13 turnovers. You cannot get into that there.

Speaker 2:

Um, looking over at some of the keys to the games, key to the game for the badgers here, I'm looking at number one, aaron. We always talk about it, we say it constantly get to the free throw line, get to the free throw line. When you get to the free throw line, you win it at charity stripe. There ain't many teams that are gonna beat you. Right now, badgers one of the, if not the best, free throw shooting team in the country and they continue to prove that night in and night out there. Get to the free throw line, force the issue, take it to the rim, don't settle. I hate and I hate it and I talk about it all the time.

Speaker 2:

I hate when the Badgers get big leads, like against Ohio State and USC, but also for shots. Don't settle for shots. The three point why it's open is because they want you to shoot that shot. It's a low percentage. They don't want you to get it to the rack, force the issue get downhill. That's when John Tonje and John Blackwell are at their best, when they're getting to the rim.

Speaker 2:

Even Max Klezma we talked about his big game there against USC, where it's like, oh my gosh, he came back to the season. Here he's finally back. Max Klezma was getting downhill and he was getting to the rim there. So that's something that you got to see here against Nebraska UCLA. They came out once again and they were flat. They came out flat, they were turning the ball over and they didn't play physical. Ucla matched the physicality and they gave him another one, right, greg Gard spoke on it. He's like we knew that they were going to come out physical. They play a brand of Big Ten basketball and we're used to that, yet you didn't play that physical brand back at him. Nebraska's gonna play physical. Can you get physical with them? Can you get physical right back at him? That's what we got to see. It's at your house, right? It's at the Kohl Center. Can you get back after him? So that's something I'm watching for in this one here.

Speaker 2:

It's the physicality of the Badgers there winning the paint, both scoring and rebounding. You got to win the rebounding battle in this one and win it in the paint. That means get it to the big fella, get it to Crowell right. When the Badgers have won these games, crowell's going for 10 plus, that's for sure. When the Badgers lose, crowell's under 10. You got to get Crowell involved, because not only Crowell's scoring the basketball, but Crowell's sharing the basketball Inside out. Work it through the big fella, let him kick it back out. Find cutters. That's when the Badgers are at their best. So I'm working inside out to find the Badgers in this one. Chase those three-pointers off the line, connor Acesian, make him try to beat you off the dribble. You got to stop the penetration, though, because you cannot expect Stephen Crowell, nolan Winter, to step out there.

Speaker 2:

The Badgers do not block shots. They're a terrible team for blocking shots. I don't know why you got two seven footers. You would think you'd have a pretty good shot at blocking some shots. They don't. They suck at blocking shots. They always have. So they have zero rim protection. You've got to slow down the penetration there. So if you are on the ISO like John Blackwell, you're out there on Bryce Williams, or you got John Tonje out there, you got Max Glesman. You got to win your one-on-ones. You got to and try to chase them off against UCLA.

Speaker 2:

They had trouble getting back to shooters. That was something that I we talked about the other day. There was the rotation of the Badgers getting back out to three point shooters. I thought they were look lost at times. There were too much ball watching. They weren't finding their guys. So that's something in this game.

Speaker 2:

You have a lot of good three point shooters, a lot of good three point shooters for this uh, uh Nebraska team. Here Bryce Williams can knock some down, so can Juwan. Juwan can knock down a few if he gets going there. Worcester doesn't shoot a lot. Actually I think he's got like zero. He's maybe zero over the past like five games that he's shot. So he's not a very big uh three-point uh artist there. And then we got Connor season. We know he can light it up from there. So you gotta keep an eye on the three-point shooters for Nebraska there.

Speaker 2:

You know Greg Gard spoke on that after that game there. He said uh, let's see here what do you have to say? Uw got too spread out and didn't give enough help and followed too much. So he's talking about the fouls there against uh UCLA there down the stretch at UCLA, especially against Sebastian Mack, and then the Badgers live. They weren't aggressive enough at the point of attack. So the bigs weren't aggressive enough there for the Badgers and I would agree with that. I would agree with that 100%. And that's that's getting into this one. Like I said, matching the physicality and then some against this team and trying to keep them out. Try to keep them off the dribble right, force them, force them out back out on the perimeter, force him towards the sideline. Whatever you got to do, sebastian Mack will say he was able to beat John Blackwell off the dribble and that's where John Blackwell ran into problems, because then he was in a vulnerable position and that's where the fouls are coming from. So it's getting that pen stopping.

Speaker 2:

The penetration is going to be big for the Badgers in this one here. Force the issue, create the turnovers I talked about it earlier 12.2 turnovers per game. You got to be able to force turnovers in this one here and then expect to see a lot of four guard looks. That's what I was going to mention there with John Gary earlier on. They're not afraid to switch him down into the four, so there'll be running a four guard look. So with that, I expect a lot of Kamari McGee I know we've mentioned it a lot Nolan winter not getting a lot of playing time. More Steven Crowell I expect a rotation of those two guys. If Nebraska goes to that four guard look, I expect to see a lot more Kamari McGee and a lot less of the two big look for Wisconsin, just because you won't be able to match the speed of what Nebraska has out there. So that's something I'm looking at in this one.

Speaker 2:

We did have some quotes, did have some quotes off of the last press conference. The Badgers had there John Tonje talking about defensive mistakes. Defense is our first focus for big games. If you can fix some of those mistakes and correct some of those things with effort, the offense will take care of itself. That's 100%. Look at the offense for the Badgers 80-plus points per game. Yeah, it's hard to beat a team that scores 80-plus points per game unless if their defense does not match physicality night in and night out, and that's the problem with the badgers in these losses. So that's something I'm looking at.

Speaker 2:

Greg guard said wisconsin playing faster on offense has already helped the badgers in recruiting. So he's talking about the recruiting aspect of it there. He said this is appealing way to play. It's smart, not wild. You have to uh, bigs that can shoot, those are larger than average and we're talking to. It's an appealing way to play. I agree with that. 100 you gotta if, if you can play fast, if you can play an nba brand of basketball, you're gonna attract a lot of, a lot of athletes, a lot of athletes.

Speaker 2:

And I think that was a big problem with a lot of the talent that left in state, like, um, tyler harrell back in the day. There jalen johnson left the state. I'll try to think of who is. Who is out at duke right now. Um, aaron, you're gonna have to look just who the heck is out at. Oh, canoople, con canoople, that's what his name is there out at duke, there wisconsin guy just didn't fit the fold in madison there just because they don't run that style and hopefully this will attract that talent there, like greg guard is saying uh, greg guard went on to the objective is to win games. How do you win games? You have to stay old and mature. We're in a different era where staying old comes from different sources. Maturity wins, experience wins. You have to make sure your freshmen understand that and I agree with that. I agree with that 100%. Talking about, let's see here we did okay, one last thing. We got to hit an ad break. But one last thing there they did lose.

Speaker 2:

His name is Harun Zerno. I don't know how to say that name. I'm glad he's not coming to Wisconsin at the moment because I don't know how to pronounce his name, but he committed to Indiana. Now I don't know how long that's going to last. He's a very good shooter. If you actually watch some of his highlights. He's a very good shooter from over in Bosnia Bosnia, sorry, but very good shooter. Um he, his finalists were Creighton, virginia and Wisconsin. He just are in Indiana, of course, but he chose Indiana. I don't know how long that's gonna last, though, because what he or Mike Woodson is, I mean basically out the door already, because Indiana sucks. So I I don't know. I don't know if he's going to stay committed there or what's going to happen on that side of it, but we'll kind of wait and see what happens there. Aaron, is there anything else that you saw real fast here from the Wisconsin-Nebraska game?

Speaker 3:

Not so much. I mean I think your point on and you can back me up on this like getting Crowell and Nolan Winter involved, I think that's like key there. I just feel like getting the big guys involved. And I mean I'm looking at Wisconsin. You know we've talked about a lot of the Wisconsin games as of late. You know. Just, you know, hanging out at the three point line, I mean I want to see them just dominate that paint. You know what I mean. Just just take it to them, like I truly obviously on paper Wisconsin's I would say far better. But you know, really come out and assert yourselves in the paint early and just say like you know, try and stop us there, like try, and you know we're going to force our will in the like. We have a. It's almost like the NFL when you script the first 15 plays right. I want it. I want them to script the point of like forcing it in the paint, like that's what I'm looking for there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, I agree. I agree 100%. You have to force the issue. You cannot go away from the post. That's the biggest thing. That's the biggest thing I hate.

Speaker 2:

Why I watch Wisconsin sometimes is they go away from that post area. You cannot go away from the post, especially in a game where you feel like you have that size advantage and especially in a game when you're at home. Don't lose the paint area. You're not going to win it from the three-point line. Yes, against ucla, you knock down 15 of them.

Speaker 2:

It makes you feel good, right, you don't lose many games where you knock down 15 threes, but a lot of that's going to come from inside out. Work right, getting it into corral, letting them kick out to a shooter, finding an opening guy in the corner, whatever it is, and knocking out a big shot there. So you got to keep the post involved because otherwise you become one-dimensional. You're so much easier to guard and that's what takes away from the guard effect there. That's what takes away John Tonje, that's what takes away Blackwell. You're so much more easy. You can be easily defended if Crowell's not a factor, if you don't have a big guy, who's a factor? The thing that happens is is when Crowell gets going, when they get a size advantage or Crowell gets going, you have a double team that comes. When that double team comes. Crowell is fantastic at passing out of the double team, finding the open shooter and then they knock down shots. So that's something that the Badgers definitely have to do in this game here Right now.

Speaker 2:

Badgers favored right now by a large margin. I don't think it should be that large of a margin. I think this is a good team in Nebraska here. So we'll wait and see. I mean, it's going to be a good game there on Sunday. That's going to start at 12 o'clock start on Big Ten Network. So I can't wait for that one coming up on Sunday there. But, aaron, we got one comment here, zach. Thank you, zach. Zach, tc there Best podcast in the state. Thank you, thank you for the kind words there, zach.

Speaker 2:

We're going to get to an ad break. We're going to have the radio show. So we're getting used to the ad breaks here. So we're going to have a quick little 10-second little break here. We're going to come back. I want to talk some Packers we're going to, you know, wrap up the day here. We got about a little bit left here we're going to wrap up the day, but we'll see you guys on the other side of the little 10-second here. I I told you it'd be quick. I told you it'd be quick. I told you we'd be back. That's what I had to tell you there. So we got lots to get.

Speaker 2:

I want to talk about some Packers stuff today because we didn't get into it much the other day. Kyle was on, kyle was on. The other day. We talked about the Bucs, we talked about I mean we got into just about everything but the Packers right. So we talked about I mean we got into just about everything but the Packers, right. So I want to get into the Packers today.

Speaker 2:

So Brian Gutekinds said in his presser he said the team needs to show more urgency. That was the big thing. He said the team needs to show more urgency. They need to show more urgency. I agree. But I think Brian Gutekinds needs to show me more urgency and I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why.

Speaker 2:

Your window's open right now. It's, it Window's open right. Jordan Love's got a small cap hit right now. I know everybody looks at the contract. They're like, oh my, he's making 55 mil a year. He's not. The cap's not at 55 right now. He's not making that, right, he's not actually a huge cap hit quite yet.

Speaker 2:

You just got off of the dead money that was sitting there for rogers and bach, so you're getting some money now. You have some money to spend, finally, right, finally some money to spend the windows open now. You don't have time you don't have. Well, next year we can see what happens. Right, we talked about that number one wide receiver conversation, right? Do you need one? I don't feel like we have time to sit stagnant. I don't. I don't feel like we have time to say, well, we can see if it works next year and then after that we can just, you know, see if you see what happens, right, no, we can see if it works next year and then after that we can just see what happens. No, we don't have time for that. It's gone. You have Jordan Love right now.

Speaker 2:

Until that contract gets bigger, it's going to get bigger eventually. You're going to keep deferring money and deferring money, but at some point that money is going to come back and bite you right in the behind. It's going to get to you. Jair Alexander's contract is going to come up. You're going to have these young guys, christian Watson and Romeo Dobbs and Jaden Reed, dontavian Wicks, the defensive linemen, some of the younger guys, edrin Cooper, some of this, evan Williams Not yet, but a few years down the road you're going to have these guys come up and they're going to say, well, we need our money, right, we need our money, edrin Cooper, I'm a star linebacker, like we think he's going to be. I need my money, right, you're going to have to pay him.

Speaker 2:

So the window's open right now. So what are you going to do with that window? Right, and that's what I think Brian Gutekes needs to go into this offseason saying and I, honestly, the draft's in Green Bay right, and I'm excited, draft's in Green Bay, it's awesome to see it's in Green Bay Like I think it's going to be a cool thing. I don't care if we have a first-round pick, I don't If the Raiders tell us that, hey, you send us your first-round pick for this year and maybe like a fourth or a third or a fourth or something, and we'll give you Max Crosby. Yep, no doubt. No doubt in my mind, because this is what I'm going to say your window's open right now.

Speaker 2:

Why waste your time? And I'm not going to say it's a waste, right, because you can go into the draft and you can find an Eric Donald. You could go in the draft and you could find a Nick Bosa that could develop into being the guy. Right. X Crosby's already the guy, he's already a dog. If you can get a dog and just put him in there and just let him run wild, why wouldn't you do that? Why would we waste our?

Speaker 2:

We got six guys who we're trying to develop already, right, I mean, rashawn Gary ain't developed all the way. We saw it this last year. He's got a lot of work to do. Kenny Clark went away this last year. You got Lucas Van Ness, who I mean he looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane, as the great Bill Michaels would say. I mean, we've got enough of Lucas Van Ness. Brenton Cox he's a work in progress. Right, you look across there. Tj Slayton if you bring him back, work in progress. You have so many guys. Devontae Wyatt still a work in progress. We have so many guys who are work in progress that we fire the defensive lines coach and we're trying to find a new one at this point because he's soft.

Speaker 2:

So it's like, why not If the Raiders? I'm making phone calls. I'm calling the Browns and I'm saying, hey, I see you got Miles Garrett. What do you want for him? What do you want for Miles Garrett? What do you want for miles garrett? What do you want for max crosby? Because we know max wants out maybe not anymore. I don't know what he wants.

Speaker 2:

If it see, the thing with it is like if they get sam darnold and they spend all this money because I know they have a metric boatload, what is, aaron, if you can find the cap space of each team for this next season I heard somebody talking about it today and the cap space for each team, some of these teams out there, it's like holy, I know the patriots had a boatload and I know the raiders had a boatload, but I mean, if I could get max crosby for a first round pick, look at the this one I would tell you look, let's look at good against his first round picks over the years and you're gonna tell me which one of these guys you're like. Yes, sir, first round of the 2018 draft Jair Alexander.

Speaker 3:

Okay, if he was healthy, yeah, that's the only thing If he's healthy.

Speaker 2:

So Right 2019, Rashawn Gary Took him a while but he kind of got back into it and then they had a second one at Darnell Savage, but he's gone right 2020, Jordan Love. Yeah, yeah, Jordan Love, you hope, you hope. You know, Eric Stokes looked like he could be a hit and then he got hurt and then he was just a dud and we saw it. You know, we've been seeing it. He's just not the same. He was decent, but not the same. Quay Walker that was your next one. You have Quay Walker and Devontae Wyatt in the 2022 draft. Quay Walker is a work in progress, Devontae Wyatt when he stays healthy.

Speaker 2:

He's a work in progress right now, but he was good, he was solid, he's good enough, but both them guys, if you could get Max Crosby for the talent that you've been drafting so far, if you could get Max Crosby for that pick, yeah I don't understand why you wouldn't make that move. That's the move. That's the move you got to make, because I just, I just here, I'm going to ask you a simple question, aaron you bring in Max Crosby, right, first round pick, and let's just say a third round pick or whatever, you bring in Max Crosby. And then I know a lot of people aren't about it, right, but okay, let's just hypothetically say I know some people are looking at, like DK Metcalf, and some people are looking at you know, t Higgins, we got Devante Adams out there. Let's just say, to make people happy for five seconds, we go and get DK Metcalf, because some people don't want Devante, they want DK Metcalf. Let's say we go get DK Metcalf, for I don't know if he's actually going to cost a lot, because I don't think the Seahawks want him or need him, just because they have Najigba in the area of Lockett and I don't think that they want to deal with it. So let's just say you got a future second round pick, maybe in a third round pick or second and a fourth I?

Speaker 2:

You just retooled your offense with two proven guys. If they can stay healthy which we knock on wood, right? You hope so. If they can stay healthy which we knock on wood, right? You hope so. If they can stay healthy. You just upgraded your wide receiver room, which was a problem, and you needed a number one guy. That's a number one guy. And then you had a problem in the pass rush. You upgraded that you can grab corners and safeties and everything galore. How many? Honestly, I would love to see the stat I don't know what the stat is of the cornerbacks and safeties that go in the first round that are hits, because I guarantee you there's not a lot of them. There's not a lot. But if you look at the late round guys, look at Evan Williams. He's a seventh round. I believe he's a seventh round dude, if I'm not mistaken. Let's see here 2020, 2023. I don't have that list in front of me here. Evan Williams, but he was later rounds. I know he was later rounds. You got Evan Williams up there where he was drafted.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, 111th. Where was that at? Let's see 111,.

Speaker 2:

That'd be probably like three. Was that like three or four?

Speaker 3:

Four, I want to say four. Yeah, let me see, here I'll get the.

Speaker 2:

But I'm just. I look at the amount of guys.

Speaker 3:

Fourth round.

Speaker 2:

Fourth round. Fourth round Look at Evan Williams. He was a star rookie safety for you and he I mean health was a problem, right, he kept getting banged up out there, but look what he was able to do and he came in the fourth round. So you know, you can find that talent. We haven't found talent. I mean, look at the talent pool that we've been grabbing, even in the second round. Right, josh Jackson from Iowa, cornerback there. That was a 2018 draft. They're gone.

Speaker 2:

Actually, oren Brooks I believe that is the guy who made the hit from the Eagles there. I believe that's him. I believe he was drafted by the Packers there back in 2018. So they had him. I mean, they drafted him up in that third round. But outside of that, you look at the rest of these drafts and you see Elton Jenkins. That was a solid one. I love Elton Jenkins.

Speaker 2:

And then I looked online AJ Dillon. He's some people love him, some people hate him. He's a good enough center. He's not great. Uh, let's see here christian watson. I love christian watson, but health's always been the problem.

Speaker 2:

Where are you losing if you trade away some picks here? I just sometimes I wish goody wouldn't hold on to picks like he's like on a death grip sometimes. I wish he would just make a move trade it, trade it away, get us a bona fide star, a bona fide star, somebody who you just know is going to be that dude. That's what I'm looking for. We talked about it in the Eagles game, right? I told you straight point up. I said they got a lot of guys, they don't got a lot of dudes. You need to have a bunch of dudes right, and they don't have them guys, they don't have those stars right, and that's the biggest thing. Like you, look at all these teams right. All these teams the bills, the commanders, the eagles, the uh chiefs right now. Look at all the teams in the championship games coming up this weekend. They got stars on both sides of the ball. They're stars right. Chris jones and they got Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes. You got Josh Halen. You got I'm trying to think of golf Von Miller.

Speaker 3:

Von.

Speaker 2:

Miller right.

Speaker 3:

Von Miller off the defense there.

Speaker 2:

You have Zach Vaughn, you have AJ Brown and Saquon Barkley. You look at, jane Daniels has become a star. Scary Terry right, you got Scary Terry out there. Defensive line for the Commanders has been playing well. I'm just going to give it to the defensive line in total because they've been playing well so far. But I mean, you look at them and guys step up to make those plays.

Speaker 2:

The Packers did not have that guy, right? And that's where I look at the receiver room and I'm like they need a guy out there who, when you get to crunch time, is going to step up and be the dude. He's going to be the dude. And they did not have that guy. We were hoping guys would take that next step. We never saw it, never saw him take that next step. So now I look at it and I'm like I know I was on the fence, I know I was saying, well, we don't really need one. I'm hoping that these guys can take that next step. I'm hoping right, I'm done with the hoping.

Speaker 2:

You got the money, you got the willpower, you got the picks. Trade them, find somebody, make it work. That's where we're looking here. So we got a little bit more Packer talk to get to on the other side of this break. We got to hit a quick break. We got to hit a quick break. We're getting past our quota here. Right, we got to hit our quick break. Come back, I want to get to our picks for the weekend. I got one more question with the Packers. We're going to get to that. We're going to get to our picks and then we're going to wrap it up for the day. So we'll see you guys on the other side of the ad break.

Speaker 1:

This show is brought to you by these fantastic sponsors Marshfield Motor Speedway, located three miles outside of Marshfield on County Road H. Tons of family fun for all ages, great food, great drinks, great racing. I cannot think of better way to spend a summer day or night than down at the track. Next is Sports Scene in Marshfield, wisconsin, located at the Marshfield Mall. Get down there and see Al. He has everything you need from sports cards, memorabilia, jerseys, model stock cars. He's got it all Sports Scene in Marshfield. And then we have Peggy Sue Beslick, century 21. Do you want to find your dream home, or maybe looking to sell your current property? Let Peggy Sue Bestlick at Century 21 help you with all of your housing or property needs you know what I always say, aaron new year, buy, sell, get rid of that clunker.

Speaker 2:

That's what you got to do, peggy Sue, at Century 21. So I got one more pack question. I wanted to get to it the other day because we had one across the text in line the other day there and I missed it. We had just wrapped up the show and this text came across and I was like, oh, we missed it. We missed it there, so I want to get into it tonight.

Speaker 2:

This one came from the 715. Adam's coming back home. Is he the number one? So that was our question we talked about before bringing in that number one. Bringing in a wide receiver, right, and I don't know. Adams is old, right, he's getting older. Is he the same guy? No, but when I think of bringing davante Adams in, I think this wide receiver room needs experience. They need an experienced guy in there to help them out. I think a lot of what the problem was. You look at the drops, right, and you look back to the drops. I think the Packers were third in the league in drops this season. I think they had like 33, 33 drops. The only teams ahead of them were the jets and the browns with 40 and the browns had 48.

Speaker 1:

Holy crap browns had 48 but packers had 33.

Speaker 2:

You want to talk about what loses football games drops, and that comes from focus, that comes from preparation, that comes from getting ready in and we talked about the other day, right, and this is where matt lafleur comes back into play a little bit. Right, it doesn't just happen on sundays and that's what I think people get lost in. They're like they suck on sunday. No, no, no, no. They're not getting prepared. On wednesday through friday, wednesday through friday, they're not getting enough. They're not getting prepared to come out on Sunday and start fast to put a good game plan together to get it off, to get it off the ground running. I don't believe that Wednesday through that they're at their best. So that's where I come back to this one and I'm like Devante Adams comes in. I don't think it's simply for the fact of we needed number one. I still think we do. I still think we do. But I think Devante comes in and he's like okay, guys, this is what I did to get better. This is what I did, thank you, am I back?

Speaker 1:

are we back?

Speaker 2:

we're good, you're good yeah, I don't know what the heck happened there. I don't know what the heck happened. I was losing you or you losing me, I don't know what the heck was happening on our end there. But, um, I look at davante and I'm like you bringing a guy like davante for experience, that's what I would say I I wouldn't be opposed to it. I wouldn't be opposed to it at all, because I feel like they have a lot of guys like we talked about jayden reed we're waiting for him to take the next step and a guy like don tavian wicks or a guy like Dontavion Wicks or a guy like Romeo Dobbs taking that next step. I feel like a guy like Devontae Adams being there because, like I mentioned, you had Devontae was in his youth when you had Jordy, when you had Jordy in his youth, you had James Jones, you had Donald Driver. You were building these guys up, you were giving them an experience room to learn from. I think that's what this Packers young core is missing is that experienced guy to get them over that hump. So I wouldn't be opposed to it. I wouldn't be opposed to it. Does it bring in a bonafide number one? No, does it bring in a pass catcher in the red zone? Yes, and I think that's what the Packers could use as a pass catcher in the red zone who could get himself open. So I wouldn't be opposed to that there at all.

Speaker 2:

But, aaron, we got just a short little time. We got like a minute 30. So we got to ramble these off faster. Let's go with the quick picks. We got the quick picks here, aaron, give me your AFC champion. Give me the AFC champion right now. We got Bills Chiefs. That's going to be coming up on 530 on January 26th, so that will be on Sunday.

Speaker 3:

That's going to be the late game I got to go, chiefs, I just think they'll figure it out again. They'll go for the third straight time. As much as it pains me to say, I think the Bills come up short once again. It feels like this could be the Bills' year to get over the hump, but just the Chiefs find a way. We can argue how, but they find a way. So, unfortunately, I do think the Chiefs pull that out.

Speaker 2:

Give me the Bills, give me the bills, give me the bills. I think they rattle it off. They find a way. Josh Allen gets over the hump and he finds a way, and they win this one here. Next up Eagles commanders NFC online.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, not even saying this Cause I'm I'm an Eagles fan. I think the Eagles do more. I don't think Washington can stop the run um very well at all, and and they haven't. So I just think Saquon should have a good day. I think the passing game looks better this week, um, and I just think the eagles defense is going to give jane daniels a lot more complications than he had against detroit um, albeit, you know, I know, they were all banged up. So give me the eagles I. I think it might be very close, though it's division, you know division, rivals and, um, you know, fc championships.

Speaker 2:

So everything on the line this is what I heard the rams couldn't stop the run. They couldn't stop the run. They couldn't stop the run. Guess what? Jalen hurts has got to throw for more than 128 yards to beat the commanders. That's all I'm going to tell you right now, and this is what I'm going to tell you right now. If the commanders come out hot, like they did in that game against the detroit lions, and if we have a guy in the name of Jalen Hurts come out flat, like he has the first two games of this playoffs, it'll be a quick one and Jaden Daniels will walk away and we'll be talking about the best rookie season that we have ever seen. Out of any quarterback ever. This might already be the best rookie season we've already seen out of any quarterback ever. He might top it. He might top it in this game here, because if Jalen Hurts comes out flat in the pass game's non-factor, I don't care about the run game, I don't care. Saquon can only do so much. If you can't throw the ball, they'll load the box. They'll just load the box and they'll wait for Saquon. At some point they're going to run into a problem. The Rams ran into a problem. It was called the snow. They weren't prepared for the snow. We saw that Three turnovers after the snow started coming down. It was a disaster. Outside of that, they should have won that game. They screwed themselves. And the Packers? We said the same thing about the Packers. The Packers had every opportunity to win that football game against the Eagles. They just shot themselves in the foot.

Speaker 2:

The Commanders I don't know man, that's a different ball club. Jane Daniels is a different breed. I don't care what kind of pressure you bring at that man, he just sees it and just like, brushes it off and hits his guy Like. It's uncanny how confident he is in the pocket. I love to see it. It's a talent. Like, as a division in the NFC East you're excited because you're like, we have good football again. The commanders are going to be good. They have a boatload of money to spend in the offseason there, so they're going to load up that. All that team is going to be scary coming up here pretty soon if jay daniels continues on that trajectory. So I got commander's bills. The super bowl that everybody in the united states of america outside of philly fans and chief fans want to see is the bills and the commanders. And I saw the nfl put out a thing that said that everybody wants the chiefs to win. That's you. Shut up nobody nobody wants to win.

Speaker 2:

We're done with the chiefs there. But, aaron, that's about all we got. That's about all we got for today. It was a little quick little show here. We're trying to get adjusted right.
