    Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton continue after bidding Molly Brown goodbye from her surprise appearance in Hour 1!

    Feb 26 2025
    Matt Hamilton and Alex Gravatt hold it down with Jim Rutledge out for the day. They get into the comments from Brian Gutekunst when he spoke to assembled media at the NFL Combine this morning.... Why does it feel like Gutey's contradicting himself when talking about the defensive front, what is up with Mark Murphy pushing this proposal to eliminate the tush push, and is always drafting for traits holding the Packers back from getting immediate impact guys? Is trusting a 30-year draft philosophy like trusting your grandma's 60-year-old, stale cookbook? Jason Wilde joins Matt and Alex Gravatt for the first time since taking his new role with Channel3000.com! They get into Brian Gutekunst's comments with the media at the NFL Combine this morning along with the Packers submitting a proposal with the NFL Rules Committee to ban the tush push!

    5PM: Worst Draft Gutey-Isms
    Feb 26 2025
    Matt Hamilton and Alex Gravatt hold it down with Jim Rutledge out for the day. They get into the Draft tendencies of Brian Gutekunst that bother them and the fans the most in today's Siding Unlimited poll question, asking what is Gutey's biggest flaw as a roster builder -- Never drafting a WR in Round 1, targeting traits over fit, and never going all in on a free agent. They discuss the difference between splashing the pot in free agency with really good signings (like Josh Jacobs, Xaiver McKinney, or Za'Darius Smith) versus making a push to get a difference maker at the top of the market (ie Saquon Barkley or Reggie Bush). Which first-round or early 2nd-round receivers last year could've made a difference for the Packers in 2024? Matt and G also continue taking everyone's favorite Molly-isms with Molly just seven days away from returning to the show! During Throwing Stones, Alex G goes all the way in the bag for girl scouts over boy scout popcorn!

    4PM: "Cringe" anti-Tush Push Proposal
    Feb 25 2025
    Jim Rutledge is re-joined by absentee co-host Matt Hamilton, who's back after taking a tough loss with sister Becca in the mixed doubles curling national championships. Matt gives a rare thank you to his sister before burying the memories with the blue mountains of Colorado. Matt uncharacteristically cringes about the Packers, who were reportedly the ONLY TEAM that submitted a proposal to the NFL’s competition committee to ban the tush push, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. They ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question: Was it cringe that the Packers were the only team to submit the proposal? They discuss if the tush push is a "real football play", and did Mark Murphy get tricked into submitting this proposal, and how unbelievably cringe is Murphy compared to his NFL executive & owner peers? They play What Matt Missed, reacting to producer Primetime's curated list of newsworthy audio cuts from this past sports weekend. Matt finds out who the Brewers' play-by-play announcer is, another WI sports owner's cringey small-market comments, and which vet QB not named Aaron Rodgers could be a fit for the Vikings? They wrap Hour 1 with a deep conversation about Magic Johnson and if his sports tweets or cringe, staged, or just naive?

They ask when is the right time to start putting away winter weather gear in Wisconsin: late February, March or April? Matt puts his mind into GM mode, as role plays as Brian Gutekunst while taking theoretical questions that reporters might ask during Gutey's actual media availability at the NFL Combine tomorrow morning. They ask today's second Siding Unlimited poll question: If you could give Gutey truth serum, what one question would you ask him? During Throwing Stones, producer Primetime asks AITAH for fumbling his way into winning a raffle for a local distillery! They wrap up discussing the Aaron Rodgers conundrum -- would he be a better solution for teams trying to get over the playoff hump or looking for a bridge starter?
