My name is Bart Winkler. It's the Bart Winkler Show, Monday. May 8th. Got a lot to cover today. Ryan Wood.
Of the Green Bay Press Gazette, PackersNews.com will make his first appearance on the Bart Winkler show. Podcast got a lot of good voicemails. To get into, so we'll do that a little bit later. This was a crazy Sunday in the NBA. The Sixers and the Celtics with an all-timer of a game.
And it sickens me how much I am rooting. For the Sixers, but sometimes you got to do what you got to do. Still don't understand how. At this point in his career, When Marcus Smart falls to the ground He's still gets the benefit of the doubt. Like, aren't you at the point as an official where if you see?
Marcus Smart go down? You assume he's flopping? I guess not. Celtics do lose that game. James Hardin.
With a decent game.
So Two good games for him. Two. Bad games for him. Maybe he's on my same Anthony Davis tracker. For the record, Anthony Davis in a seven-game series will have two games where it looks like basketball was invented for him.
He had one of those. He'll have two really good games. He's had one of those, game three. He'll have two absolute shit games. That was game two.
And he'll have a game where he gets hurt and then misses like half the game. Even though He wasn't really that hurt to begin with.
So tho that game's still coming out. But Lakers have a 2-1 lead over the Warriors And you could tell me any result of that series and I'd believe you. You could tell me the Lakers win it in five. You could tell me the Warriors win it in six. You could tell me Lakers and Warriors go seven.
I believe any I'd believe any of it. I think that's there's a lot of basketball to be played in that series. The Heat are still winning somehow, making the Knicks look foolish. Which just saddens me as a Bucks fan. We would have beat the Knicks.
I mean, I'm not taking anything away from the Knicks. God, how the fuck? And what really bothers me is this makes the bubble. Legitimate. This makes the bubble legitimate.
You know what the Western Conference and Eastern Conference finals were? In the bubble? Nuggets Lakers. And Heat Celtics, and all those teams still playing now, three years later. with relatively the same, at least the same stars.
And the Bucs fell on their face in the bubble. And maybe that was legitimate after all. Still on the Mike Budenholzer. Um Era of of the post-mortem. We'll talk a little bit about that.
Brian Windhorse. of ESPN just making shit up. Brian Windhorse had one meme that worked, What are the jazz up to? And now he's trying to make that his whole career. Once you get memed, man.
Yeah, there must be a certain like power to it where he's trying to strike gold again.
So that'll come up a little bit. I'm recording this right after Nikola Jokic pushed a fan. He's trying to get a ball. He pushed a fan out of the way. I hope this shows that Nikola Jokic sucks.
Like I've been trying to say. Actually, it turns out the fan was the son's new owner. Yeah. And he had he had a flop of ages. I mean, Marcus Marcus smarts looking at that flop and taking notes.
So that that series got a little more Interesting. Fun stuff. All right, we're going to talk to Ryan Wood coming up, and then Monday night. I am going to go live. After Brewers Dodgers.
What I'm going to try to do throughout the summer is go live on Monday nights. After whatever Brewer game is playing. This week, it's the Dodgers.
Next week, it's the Cardinals. Uh then it's uh at Home against the Astros. Memorial Day, they're off. I suppose I'll take that day too. But I want to go live on Monday.
I miss going live. I miss the interaction. I miss the unpredictability. That's what we were supposed to be doing a bunch during the Bucs playoffs. And that's kind of gone away.
So, if you can make it, I hope you can. If you can interact, that would be great. Um I'll plan a show to talk to myself for 45, 50 minutes if I have to. But I would certainly like people to jump on and. We'll do it after the brewer game when.
Most people will be paying attention to it. Anyway, and there should be some NBA going on. Yeah, Warriors and Lakers will be going on at the same time.
So, we can talk about all that.
So, Monday nights, at least the next couple of Mondays through May. I will be doing live shows. If Monday it just doesn't work and nobody's there, well then I won't. And then I'll magically call and sick to my own show on Tuesday. 'Cause I'm not preparing anything else.
And I'd rather have a I'd rather have no episode than a shit episode.
Now you can argue. But That's my intention, at least. If there has been, if there have been shit episodes. I've tried. Uh maybe Whatever.
But I'm trying on this one. We got a lot to talk about. I'll get to Ryan Wood in a second. One thing I was kind of surprised about. We and I did the CBS shift.
And I'm doing that Sundays throughout the summer from one to five. You gotta find an app or a station outside of Milwaukee because. The fan ain't airing it for some reason. But one to five, I do the shift and I started talking about the derby a little bit. And I gave all my typical.
Takes on the derby and horse racing, how I don't like it. And You know, these guys are just future glue, whatever, all the same bullshit I say. But I finally kind of narrowed it down and was like, what are we really celebrating here? And I still get very triggered. By what ESPN did at the end of the century.
The 20th century heading into the 21st.
So, the year 1999, in September of that month, of that year, they came out with a. A survey. uh ranking of best best athletes of all time. They put of that century. They put number one, Michael Jordan, number two, Babe Ruth, first of all.
Fatty McBats does not be number two. Over Jim Thorpe and Jim Brown and all these guys. That's uh you know Kind of bullshit. But then Secretariat came in number thirty eight on the list. And it wasn't just like, oh, he's a special horse.
We'll give it to him. They put man of war on there. Uh who's that other stupid idiot horse? Chivalry or some bullshit. I mean, I just do not like horses to begin with.
Now, I had a really interesting call on CBS where someone called in and said, The reason they kill these things when they break a leg is because They're putting them out of their misery. Horses can't naturally rest. Have you ever seen a horse like lay on the ground? Not really. Horses spend their whole life pretty much on their feet.
You've seen cows lay down and like dogs, of course. But horses are like always standing. Even when they're in their little shackles, like Mr. Ed. Did you ever see Mister Ed laying down?
No, and I never thought of it that way.
So it kind of sounds miserable to be a horse, but they're not athletes. An athlete has to be a human.
So, what bothers me is that we celebrate these horses. And not the jockey. And we celebrate the owner as well. The jockey's irrelevant. Who gives a shit?
Some little guy on a horse. No one cares. But I'm saying we should care. We should be celebrating the jockey and the horses. should be treated like NASCARs.
Nobody like Creams themselves over.
Well, I guess they do. People are weird about cars, but we still know the racers, and they are athletes. The NASCAR car. is a tool. that the driver uses to win a race.
Just like the horse is a tool. That the jockey uses to win a race. Just like a golf club is a tool that a golfer uses. to score a good round. Just like a baseball bat is a tool.
that a baseball player uses to get hits and home runs. It just in this case the horse happens to be alive. And so we fetish over these things. I don't believe horses are athletes. I mean, and I don't think that that like is a dumb take.
But I put a pull up On Twitter. Who is more of an athlete? The jockey, the horse? 85% of people that voted. Said the horse, Which you can argue, like, I like horse racing because it's a fun spectacle, I make money.
You know, it's it's watching animal, I don't know, whatever you want. But if I'm lost on what's even an athlete. That's surprising to me. I get that they're alive. I just don't think animals can be athletes.
Athletes are humans. That's the dictionary. Definition. Dogs that do the Westminster thing. They're not athletes.
A cheetah is not an athlete 'cause it outruns a lion. They're not athletes. They're animals I just find it so fascinating. Like our fetish with horses. I just hate him.
I just hate horses. One kid in college showed me a video of a horse. Doing something with a person. And I cannot get that image out of my head. It was disgusting.
And every time I see a ho ugh. Maybe that's it. But I do not like horses. Congratulations. If you won on the horse racing.
Ryan Horvat, you may want to check his Twitter feed. He had a very good night. He was betting this mage horse for like months. I talked to him Saturday. He's like, I followed this guy.
I was watching all his races. I was. He's like, how much did you win on it? I said, what are you talking about? I told you to bet him.
He never did. He tells me all these other things. He tells me Braves Marlins. First five innings under one and a half. Never tells me about the horse.
No'cause I can just go right down the street to Pado. Come on, buddy. Those are the tips I need. Not Jimmy Butler PRAs. I need your long shot 15 to 1.
Horse man. Happy place, Hemp! I need to be sedated, I think, myself. That would help me. Take a gummy tonight.
Fall asleep, feel real good. The THC ones are delicious and get the job done. There are some that are THC-free that.
Some have made a routine of taking in the morning, get their day started, maybe not a big coffee drinker or just need something else to kind of stay focused. Those have been effective. Uh, from what people say, I like the CBD, CDN ones, they help me sleep. And of course, I like the Delta 8s and the Delta 9s, and the ones that make me feel good. You can feel good.

Joining us via StreamYard. That will be on YouTube. If you want to check out my conversation with Ryan Wood, we talked some Packers, obviously, the draft fallout, Jordan Love, and then like his excitement for covering a team that. He's not used to covering. He ain't going to Aaron Rogers' Locker anymore.
Uh-uh. Aaron Rogers locker is being occupied by Sean Clifford. Of all people. The Penn State quarterback, QB2.
So, yeah, it's a different era of Packer football and one that I think. will be exciting. and profitable. for his career. As a journalist.
and hopefully mine. as someone who sits in his basement and whines. About the things my quarterback says. And does and the way he dresses.
So, the Dan Shaney Insurance stream, danshaney.com, we'll hear from Ryan Wood coming up. And then we'll get through some voicemails. In just a little bit, Bart Winkler's show.

is making his first appearance on the podcast. Hey, buddy, long time, long time. I miss you, bud. How's it how's it going? Although I did see you at the Brewers Mets game, but that was like the last Brewers game I watched, so.
Well It hasn't gotten much better for the Mets since then. It's funny, you said the story of I was with my kids that day. My oldest just had his birthday. And we uh got to go up to the press box and you're like Saw some Mets jerseys in the press box. What the heck is with Tim Shea?
Yeah, it was with Tim Shea, and we saw a guy wearing a Mets jersey and. like talking to a bunch of people in the press box. And we're like, who could that be? Maybe it's a celebrity. I don't know.
JK Simmons was up there the other night. Who knows who's ever stopping by? And lo and behold, it was. It was you. Uh Class Z celebrity.
Ver very down the list. Hey, that's one Ampham Field press box appearance for you this year. Zero so far for me. How many times have you been out there? You said that was the last one that you were you were at?
I've gone to like three games. Yeah. I don't know. I've been watching the NBA playoffs and then, well, that sucked, but I've been watching more of that. Then they keep playing on the West Coast, which sucks, but.
We'll get there eventually, but nobody cares right now. Recapping the draft a little bit, and what a weird year it's going to be for you. I mean, you've seen backups come in and. And go, but this will be your first non-Aaron Rodgers year. On the beats.
Um If I was on the beat. I would be excited. How are you approaching a new year with new storylines to come? Yeah, I probably don't feel all that different than the Packers themselves right now. Intrigued, definitely intrigued.
Curious to see what I'm going to find. But have no idea. No clue how this is going to go. And that's for me. That's part of the intrigue.
That's probably where the Packers veer a little differently. That's probably more of, I don't want to say dread, but not good to be intrigued. At your starting quarterback position, but from where I sit, It's going to be awfully interesting to find out this first-round pick that's been waiting three years. And, you know, you can't help to. Recall some history.
The last time this happened, first-round pick, waited three years. Turned out pretty good.
So we'll see. It's going to be. A hell of a hard job for Jordan Love. He's got the shadow of Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers had the shadow of Brett Favre.
Jordan Love's going to be held to the standard. Of Aaron Rodgers. He just is. Aaron Rodgers was held to the standard of a Brett Farr. Can Jordan Love duplicate what Aaron Rodgers did?
Don't know, but we'll find out. Is there have you guys had like a Because, okay, Aaron Rodgers is gone. He's out of sight out of mind to me I'm moving on. And I'll watch Jets games because I watch every NFL game possible.
So it's not like I'm not going to see. him play, but I would imagine that Like the Green May Press Gazette and PackersNews.com. Do you you still cover him a little bit? Do you cover him or is it? Because he will draw, I mean, he'll draw a click.
You got to cover him. If only it was that easy to be out of sight, out of mind. If only. I actually, the last time he was on McAfee, I had this point of dread where I was like, I didn't know he was on McAfee today. Oh, no.
And I listened to it. I was like, oh, this is all about the Jets. Yeah. There's nothing for me here.
So that was. Nice, but it's probably going to take me a while. Until I'm able to, okay, Aaron Rodgers is speaking. It's not like a dog whistle of like, okay, perk up. I have to pay attention now.
That's going to take a little bit of a while to get used to. Yeah, you know, he'll be all over the place, and there's a lot of connections, so whatever, you know, whatever. But again, it's this is a new era, and Jordan Love's going to be the quarterback. And the Think that I think I've talked to you about this, but I think that love is going to be good because Jordan Love. or Aaron Rodgers rather, never really let him saw the field.
Even at four and eight, when he was injured, I thought there could have been a very easy, all right, we're not making the playoffs, whatever. But then he jumps on McAfee, gets in front of the story, says, I'm gonna play until we're mathematically eliminated. And Rogers, for what it's worth, too. Like, you know, Favre famously said, I'm not, you know, I'm not here to bring anybody along, but Rogers has always been very complimentary of love. I believe he'll be rooting for Jordan Love.
I think he'll be good. But we got it. We like, we don't know. The preseason time has been so limited. We have a little bit of an Eagles game, we have a little bit of a Chiefs game.
I would have loved to see him play the five weeks at the end of the season because not only do I want to see him play a game. I want to see him follow up a game. How do you play after a win? How do you play after a loss? When do you think we'll know if Jordan Love is good or bad?
It's a great question. You know, I wasn't here in 2008 to cover it. I think it's going to be a process. The point that you said, Bart. He's got to do it week after week.
It's not going to be an automatic type thing. He's got to. If he has a good week, he's got to follow that. If he's got a bad week, he's got to learn from that. And that takes time.
The thing he has going for him. There's been just enough of a sample size, just enough to have a trajectory. And the trajectory, if you followed the first three seasons, is pointing in the right way. He was a lot better in last season. I know it was just the fourth quarter.
In Philly, but he was a lot better from that. The training camp, I was there at every training camp practice. Pre-season, you put all that together a lot better in 2022 than 2021. 2021 was a car wreck. I mean, it was.
It was not good in Kansas City. It was dear in the headlights, just not good. He was better.
Now it's going to get real because now you're not just going against the pre-vent defense. You want to see a blitz.
Now you've got to manage a game. And not just have a spot snaps. That's an entirely different beast.
So. You know, he's at a point right now. He's a better athlete right now than Aaron Rodgers is. He's not a better quarterback. That's a different thing.
But athletically? He's an athletic guy. He showed that last year. He's mobile. I thought he looked more comfortable using that mobility, getting outside the pocket and making plays, the timing, his internal play clock.
All those things look better, but Again, the Eagles pre-vent defense. They were holding on to a lead in the fourth quarter. What does it look like from the first snap when you've got Steve Smagnolia and the Chiefs? Defense sending the house every snap. That's going to be the real big test that he has to face.
Does the way they Extended him, tell us anything about how they feel about him. I think it seemed to be a fair. Deal on both sides. The one thing you don't want to do is not extend them, and then next year you're paying them $45 million like Daniel Jones. But you also don't want to extend them and then.
He sucks. I think it was a good, you know, just.
Alright, let's go. They got this out of the way. Let's see what you look like. Yeah, I don't know if it tells us anything because it was an obvious decision. He's got to have two years.
And the reason why is. They're they're pot committed. To Jordan Love, they don't know what they have, but they have to find out what they have, and they have to, even if he sucks this year. They got to give him another, like, even if he sucks. If it's the worst case scenario, which I think will be something better than that.
I do. I don't know what he'll be. I don't think he's going to be Brett Hundley in the flesh. I think it's going to be something better than that. It was a first round pick for a reason.
He has talent. He's shown talent.
Some of the throws he made in Philly, I don't care if it's pre-bend defense, some of those throws. were legit NFL throws. He's look more comfortable. The athleticism. I think it's going to be enough.
Bare minimum to give him that second year. If he crashes and burns right out of the gate, no, I I Brian Gudekins, I think, has learned at this point not to compound mistakes by making more mistakes. But it's a pretty low bar, I think, he has to pass to deserve that second year with how invested they are in him. I I imagine he's going to pass that bar. Brett Hunley.
Uh is backing up in the XFL. Backing up. In the XFL. Remember that game against the Steelers on Sunday night where he threw three touchdowns? I thought that was his worst game that he played.
All of those things are wide open. Those are wide open touchdowns. Yeah, and everyone's like, oh, we got her. No. I just want to point out that I was right about that, as I usually am with things.
The draft as a whole. Was there anything they did do or didn't do that? Lefty scratching your head or surprised you a little bit. The surprising thing for me is that there wasn't. Like, I understood everything that they did, and I'm not the kind to.
Yeah, if there's issues in a draft, and there usually are, I have no issue calling them out a year ago.
Well, they didn't draft a tight end. And Brian Guterkins is saying, you know, we might have something in Tyler Davis. And he was right, they had a special teamer. You knew that was going to be a problem. That was an issue.
There's no glaring. Hole in this draft. Yes, I know they didn't get a starting safety, but you know what? I thought the best thing that Brian Budikins did. He recognized where this franchise is.
They're not a starting safety from winning the Super Bowl in 2023.
So if you have the choice of getting a starting safety. and putting more talent directly around Jordan Love. That that's A sacrifice you've got to make. And he did. If they were a starting safety away from winning the Super Bowl, then you can question that.
They're just not. Offensive lines, the other. position that that fans have kind of No offensive lineman, which is rare for the Packers, rare for. Brian Gudekins, but they have 13 offensive linemen on the roster. And quite a few of them are experienced guys who have played in the league.
The one thing that they maybe could have used at offensive line was tackle insurance on the left side. David Bakeri's probably entering his last year. But it was a really thin. Shelf at left tackle in this draft. If they weren't going to get it at 13, They weren't going to get it.
So don't just pick a guy. to pick a guy. We got 13 guys on the roster already. And hope that sticks. Go get Jordan Love Help.
And that's what they did. Probably going to have to get a left tackle next year, but you look at: do they get a left tackle? Do they get a Broderick Jones or do they get a Lucas Van Ness? At 13. There's a much bigger need for 2023 with Rashawn Gary coming off the ACL with a thin.
group already to to go get a pre a high potential premium position at edge rusher than left tackle. We don't know if this is a good draft. It's going to take two years to let these guys develop. And if they hit on the picks or not, that'll determine whether this was a good draft. But I thought the approach was sound.
I like that, you know, when you look at the skill positions, and they drafted a couple of tight ends. You know, bring in read at receiver. Aaron Jones is 28 and he seems like he's 100. In that backfield and with those skill guys, I like that everybody is going to kind of. Do this together.
You know, like we talk about as Brewers fans when Hard and Fielder and Weeks and JJ Hardy came up, they all did it together. And you could see these guys grow and really become. You know, MOB all-star caliber players together, some better than others, of course, but Jordan Love's going to have like guys that he can be with for a few years. There's not a Alan Lazard in the way, or you know, some whatever in the way.
So I like that they're going to do all this together. I don't think they like, you know, need to go find a veteran receiver just to do it. This is what I want. I'm totally. Fine with this scale position.
And again, Aaron Jones is like the elder statesman at 28. The thing you said there in the way, that's a good way to put it. Not maybe with Al Lazar. Al Lazard's a quality NFL receiver. But I always go back to when the Packers drafted Amari Rogers and then traded for Randall Cobb.
who wasn't going to give you much on the field he did i thought a rogers could have been better I don't think you got a fair shake on offense. Just so you know. Yeah, I don't know that Amari Rogers would have panned out if they never made that trade. There were other issues, like the guy just had no confidence, and that's kind of important in the NFL. But You need snaps to develop.
You've got to play. to grow. And he never had that opportunity. You look at this depth chart. If you're in it for 2023, then fine, bring a veteran in.
But if you're not, if you're on a two to three year timetable, which is where the Packers are now. Give all the snaps to your young guys. Let them make their mistakes. Let them screw up and learn from it. Let them develop.
And you hope that they grow. You hope that they do develop. But you got to have those snaps to be able to do that. They're positioned right now, as is to have that opportunity.
Well, I'm excited. I mean, you cover the Green Bay Packers. There is interest in the Green Bay Packers. But even in doing the radio show for the last handful of years, It's like Yeah, okay, Mondays are big and Fridays, you know, getting ready for the weekend. But I there were there were like years where the season didn't start until the divisional round.
Because you knew. They were going to be 13 and 4, 13 and 3. And then you knew they would lose in the playoffs, but there was still that game. But you knew the script every year. The fact that we have a script that we don't know.
And maybe they are a 12-win team. Maybe they're a six-win team. I don't think it'll be that bad. But it's good, like, even if they go. Nine and eight.
Or 8-9. They were 8-9 last year. It'll be a hell of a lot more of exciting of an eight and nine. than last year's team was, where last year's team was underachieving and frustrating, and we needed another T-shirt slogan from Rogers or whatever to get us all fired up. This is going to be a, every week matters and every week is important.
And I think that Subscription rates should boom. For the green base. Good promo. I like it. You know, look, it's going to be intensely covered.
And it's all, you know, it's all about. Intel. What we're going to learn. It's a blank slate right now. We have no idea.
And that intel is going to come in quick and it's going to start to paint a picture. It's going to take time because this is a process. Any first-year starting quarterback, you've got to go through that fire. You've got to learn a lot of times through failure. And then at the end of it, the sink or swept.
That's what it's going to be like for Jordan Love, but the entire time along the way. Everything he does is going to be intensely scrutinized, observed, recorded. It's going to be very fascinating. I would imagine from a fan's perspective. There is a certain exhale that's allowed: okay, this is not the learning year.
And you're going to learn a lot. And there's excitement there, but Expectations make the world go around, right? Like you said, nine and eight last year when the expectation. They three straight 13 win seasons. 9 and 8 don't feel very good.
When you have no idea what to expect, and you've got a quarterback, a young quarterback potentially on a good trajectory, you go nine and eight. It's in a same record, entirely different feelings. Again, it's all about that two to three year timetable. It was that way for Aaron Rodgers, it took him three years. Win a Super Bowl.
They were 6 and 10 his first year as a starter. It was not. overnight.
So how quickly we'll we'll find out.
Well, and this is what I say as a fan, like to people that call Packer fans entitled and Entitletown and stuff. The year you win a championship is the most fun year. Even if there's like a lot of agony and pain and heartbreak and, you know, annoyance, you won a championship. It is the most fun year. Then the next most fun year is the year where you have little to no expectations and you're good.
I put A little to no expectations year. Like the argument I've kept making is there was a year a few years ago where the Browns had no expectations. Baker Mayfield took him to a playoff game. They beat the Steelers in the playoffs. That was the COVID year because Stefanski was at home.
They were up like 28-0. In the first quarter, they had a more fun year than the Packers, who went 13 and whatever and lost to Tom Brady. These these years, like Other fans can look in and say, oh, 13 and 3 every year, that must be awesome. But it's not because then, when you lose in the playoffs, it's a huge fall from Grace.
So, I'm more excited. As a fan than I've been in a long time. And I hope that's reflected in some of the players. Like, I think that. You know, Aaron Rodgers, I know, had a lot of friends in there and whatever, but this is a new start for.
Jordan Love and he gets to be the guy. And this is a new start for a lot of these guys. And it's. It's like a new opportunity and they can make this really their own. I think the slate is clean for everybody wearing a jersey.
I I think, you know, there's a lot of youth in that locker room. I do think that there's a lot of excitement against the youth to kind of. for lack of a better term. grow with one of their own. You come in as a rookie receiver.
You know, you're playing with Aaron Rodgers, and it's almost kind of like mind out of body because you grew up watching him play. And then the reality hits you real quick. If you take one false step, It it it's on you. And there's very little grace. The the standard is a standard.
There's more flexibility now. They're allowed to make those mistakes. They're. Shoot, even encourage to make those mistakes. Go test the boundaries.
Go see what you can and cannot get away with on an NFL field. Oh, by the way, you're going to be growing right alongside this quarterback. What From the youth in this locker room, I think that this is going to be a welcomed transition.
Now we'll see when the games start. Because losing is never fun. And there's going to be losses, and so that's from Matt LaFleur's standpoint. Keeping that locker room together through the turbulence times that are coming. That's going to be a big part of his coaching job in 2023.
But right now, young guys get to play. Young guys have an aging four-time MVP quarterback off their back. Can almost guarantee you that there's excitement from the youth in this locker room at this point.
Well, I'm excited too to find out if Matt LaFleur is a good coach because I don't know that we know that. I mean, he had the fastest and best record in the first few years as any Packer coach, but I would like this year to be a year where. Matt LaFleur doesn't get up to the podium and almost like apologize for what he did, or where you can almost look at him and see he just learned how to do that, or he just learned in that situation. We all, you know, when he came over, we thought, oh, he's got this certain offense, and it's Shanahan-like or whatever. I'm excited to see that.
So, we're gonna see not only if Jordan Love's good. I think we're going to find out Woody if if Matt LaFleur's any good. When Matt LaFleur was hired, his job was basically two parts. Number one, Resurrect Aaron Rodgers. And he did that.
He handled that job really, really well because people might forget 2018 was not good. Aaron Rodgers was nice. And he wasn't great in 2019. He was better than 2018. but it took two years and then boom, he's winning MVPs again.
And he won half of his MVPs in that short time. With Matt LaFleur as head coach.
So from job one, Matt LeFleur passed that with flying colors. But job two. Was extending relevancy, extending contention. In life after Aaron Rodgers. And that's that's job two now.
And this is the more Pressing job for Matt LaFleur is. Because it's on him. There's no more collaboration between head coach and quarterback as it's been the last four years. He's got his Hand Plucked guy in Jordan Love that has waited three years to learn his offense. He's got his offense.
Again, no more collaboration. He's got tight ends in his offense, which, if you know anything about Matt LaFleur's scheme, Is very multiple. He loves tight ends. He needs tight ends. They got two now, second to third round pick.
That they can mold and grow around a young quarterback. He's got the pieces he should need for this offense to flourish.
Now it just has to go out and flourish, and that's what we'll find out. Buy or sell the person most relieved. that the Packers are starting with a new quarterback. is Joe Berry. because now he will get criticized less and less because there's not like a Super Bowl waiting in the in the wings.
Oh, I sell that Joe Barry will ever get criticized less if his defense doesn't. Perform up to expectations, and there's a lot on the defense this year. Because you know that you're going to have growing pains offensively. You know that there's going to be some stumbles with the first-year starting quarterback. And all you got to do is look at the defensive roster.
There's talent there. Everywhere. There was last year, too. They should have been a top 10, if not a top five, defense last year. But that's the thing that Joe Berry's never done.
He's never coordinated a top ten to top five defense. He's got the pieces to do that. He needs to be able to get this defense to play at the level that it looks like on paper. Oh, by the way, he just got another first-round pick, another high upside edge rusher.
So he's just getting more and more pieces. I There's always going to be pressure on Joe Berry. And if it doesn't deliver, there's always, you know, Bart, the fans are going to be screaming. The Packers, one more for you, Ed by Ryan Wood on Twitter. Um Greenway Press Gazette, PackersNews.com.
They have the worst odds to win the NFC North. Which I don't know if I agree with. I think the sexy pick is the Lions. The Vikings are probably going to go 9-8 like they always do. I do like the trajectory of the Bears.
But I think that's more of a slow burn. Who do you like in the north as of May ninth or whatever day it is. You know the thing with the lions, I feel like everything the lions do get judged through this lion's prism. Like, oh. They're not a dumpster fire.
They're really good. No, no, just because they're not a dumpster fire doesn't mean that they're really good. They have the potential to be okay. I mean, they've got some talent. But Do I think the Lions are going to be this juggernaut in the NFC North?
No, they're not that. They're just not a dumpster fire. for once and A very, very long time in that. The Lions serve one purpose in the NFL. And that's be good enough.
So that Thanksgiving week. The storyline, should the Lions host a game every week? doesn't come up. That's their only purpose.
So, are they a sexy pick? Yes, because they're not a dumpster fire, but that doesn't mean that they're. I don't see them as the clear-cut favorite of the Amsterdam North. Um I Chicago, can Justin Fields take another level? I think that's possible.
I think there's a very legitimate way where the Packers win. You could talk me into the Packers winning the division or being fourth. That's the entire industry north right now. Yeah, they all stop. This division has been the opposite of wide open.
for years. I mean, for decades, right? Like for thirty years. It's been Brett Farr. It's been Aaron Rodgers.
It is completely wide open now. That doesn't mean the Packers just went away. That doesn't mean that they're locked in that fourth spot. It means it's wide open. I have no idea what to expect from the NFC North.
You can talk me into any of the teams.
Well, I'm going to say the Packers. And they're plus 410. I'm going to go to a casino today. Put it down. Put that money where your mouth is.
It's very optimistic. I don't know that I would pick the Packers, but I wouldn't not pick the Packers either. I just don't know what to expect from the NFC North. I mean, everything about this: Jordan Love, Matt LaFleur's offense, the NFC North at large, how many wins the Packers get, it's all up in the air. It's everything's up in the air.
So that's yeah, and that's why this is so awesome. I think it's awesome. I don't disagree with you one bit. Because I don't Like oh the seventies and eighties. They're not gonna be that bad This is the beginning of a new chapter, a new story.
And I put that book down and I'm ready to read a new one.
Now, I don't really read. I just watch Marvel shows all day, but. It's like a new show. I'm starting. Daredevil for the first time.
Okay. What's your uh what's your spitball number right now? You had to throw a wins number out there. And granted, it's not, you know, early May and You've got to see the schedule, but. What's your spitball number?
Uh eight. My floor is seven. Yeah. My ceiling is 10. I think I've got it from...
Six to nine. Aaron Rodgers was six and ten his first year. This is a pretty talented roster. I know they're coming off NFC Championship game periods. It'll depend on the defense because that year, I remember what I remember about that year is.
Rogers would like He would have a three-minute comeback. He would score with 220 left in the clock. And then the defense would always blow it and everyone would be like, Roger sucks in the last two minutes. No, Rodgers don't have the ball in the last two minutes. He scored.
They scored. Then the defense. I would think six and then I think a nine and eight record's just fine. for first year of Jordan Live. I'd be great.
There'd be a lot of excitement there.
So, six to nine. Keep the coverage all season long. Ryan Wood, packagenews.com. Tip of the cap to you, good sir. Thanks for coming.
Always fun, man. Good catching up. Let's say you own an MBA team. Every ticket is sold. Every suite is sold.
You own the real estate around the arena. Tenants are sold. You have an MVP in his prime under contract. Why would you sell? You don't do it, why would you sell?
You're supposed to.
Well, one of the most while we were up here arguing about who the MVP was going to be or whether the Lakers are going to make the playoffs, one of the most important things in the NBA happened when the owner of the Bucs, Mark Lazari, sold. In the end, in the middle of the season.
So, why did he do it? Because of the thundercloud that is on the horizon. We are now hearing the first ride. Are you saying what I Think yes again. Why?
Yeah, you know, why would he sell? He sold number one. All right, why would he sell? What are the Jazz up to? Brian Windhorse.
Come on, man. The other people with him is that Jeff Darlington, I don't know the woman, but they're doing the fingers. They're like trying to recreate the meme. He did this with the jazz. You know, something what are the jazz up to?
Something like that. I forget what it was exactly. And then they traded Golbert and Mitchell, and then everyone uses that wind horse meme. And now he's trying to make something out of nothing. And yeah, this season one of the Bucks owners sold.
One of them. There's two of the principal guys. There's Stellier Jamie Dinons or Diamonds, or I get him confused with the one I always see on like the CNBC feed. And then there's. Yannis.
Is the owner.
So Rogers, I got confused. And then there's like, I think Gruber has a share. All these guys have like little fractions of a share. I think everybody that works at ESP in Milwaukee gets like zero point zero zero zero zero zero zero zero two percent You know, all these guys. I I don't know how it works.
It's weird with the Gruber. connection over there. But it's uh it's nothing. This is nothing. What he's trying to say is Lazarus sold.
because he wants to get out of Dodge before everything blows up. Before the Bucks have to. Move on from Giannis. Sell everyone. Then he's trying to say the Knicks are keeping an eye on this.
And we're just trying to be right back to where we were a couple of years ago. The reason I know this is a bunch of garbage. Is because the only people talking about this still are people like me and other Bucks fans that are trying to tell you that this is garbage. Nobody else picked it up. Nobody else talked about it.
Nobody else referenced it. Nobody else gave credit to it. It basically. Did not happen. It happened.
It was an echo. And Bucks fans keep echoing it because we're Like mad that he's even saying things as stupid. And then Uh you know he's going on and on and it's it's dumb it's dumb It's dumb. Maybe Giannis doesn't sign his next contract here. Is this the time to talk about that?
He signed three contracts to stay in Milwaukee. I think he likes Milwaukee. Just fine. If Giannis decides in his next contract to leave, I love you, man. We're not gonna I can't keep these guys here forever Like We can't do that.
We've already got more out of Giannis than we ever thought we were going to get. And I'm not trying to inhale some copium here. I don't think he's going anywhere. I also don't think now's the time to talk about it. We got to be talking about decisions about Chris Middleton and Brooke Lopez and Drew Holiday and the next coach.
That's all important. The Giannis thing is just like. How much can you cram? Into the piggy bank there, man. Let's like slow down and Relax a little bit.
So I think that's a bunch of garbage. The Lazarus sold because His son had a failed campaign for the Senate that they pumped a lot of money in. And I think he lost his ass on Bitcoin and other stocks.
So, what do you do in an investment when your other investments crash? You take the investment you put money in and you pull out your money. I think it's pretty simple. But maybe I'm just a dumb dumbhead. who doesn't think horses are athletes.
There's a voicemail on this, and some more voicemails from you guys.
So let's get to it. This is from Cone Roller. Talking about the subject, voicemail is brought to you by Carl's Place, Carlofet.com. Backslash Bart. Golf Simulators Galore.
You can also find it on the Bart Winklershow.com website. with the guys from SunEnt Interactive. Helped me out with. I mean, they took whatever my design was going to be. and made it.
A hundred times better. And I appreciate that. That's another place where you can get the podcast every day.
So here's Cohen's initial thought of it. This is Friday morning. Not sure if he's changed or not, but here's what he said on Friday. Hey Bart, it's Cohn. Friday morning, May the 5th, Cinco De or Winko DeMayo.
Happy Winko de Nayo. I still think it's a little cultural appropriation, but we'll let it slide. To that point.
Okay. How about this one? I saw some kitty cat lover say it was Cinco de Meow. Cinco de Miao.
So I'm not sure if that's worse or better. Call. The link or verse. Anyway, seeing instant reaction to the Brian Windhorse clip. a lot, a lot of Bucks fans, Nate Marzion, Armin Sarian, they're all freaking out about what Wind Horse is saying, saying it's just ESPN drumming up stories to you know, pick on Giannis, pick on the small market.
But I agree with Windhorse and you know I'm not a huge Windhorse fan. He's been dick riding LeBron his whole career. But you know, he's speculating a ton. I will give the Buck fans that. He is speculating a lot on what this team is going to do.
But the basis of his speculation is all facts. Yannis is a free agent in two years. There was a new owner, Jimmy Haslam, that came in at a weird spot in the season. They do have old free agents, Chris Middleton, Drew through holiday. Brooke Lopez.
So I think Bucks fans should kind of listen to what Wind Horse is saying. You know, we are I hate to say it, but we are approaching the doomed day scenario with how this Bucks team and the future looks. And, you know, I guess it's just, you know, you got to remember to enjoy the good old days. And I think this the window is Not going to be any more wide open than it was last year or the last five years. It's only going to start getting smaller and smaller and smaller.
No young talent on this roster. No assets. I mean, I said this last night and I'm I don't it could be true. is is Bud is still under the Bucks rights, kind of like the Sean Payton thing. is Mike Budenholzer our best trade asset that we have at this point?
It'd be hard to find somebody else.
So Yeah. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the wind horse clip. If you just think it's a bunch of clip-bait garbage, I disagree. I think it's it's not facts, but I think what Windhorse is saying is based on a lot of facts.
So I agree with M. I think, Cohen, thank you. I think what Windhorse is doing is taking a bunch of things that happened. and he's putting him into a blender and he's making it about Giannis. And I just think that that's unfair.
Giannis was a player option in 25-26. If you look around the league. That's like when a lot of guys' contracts come up. This is not a league where they sign 10-year contracts. Guys sign four or five-year contracts and then they're up.
So Whether it's Steph Curry or Joellen Bede or Nikola Jokic or LeBron James. These guys aren't under contract forever.
Now, some stars find a way to get traded. And when the con I mean, that's always a small possibility that Giannis could just say, screw this, I'm out. Um bother thinking of that for a minute. Because I don't think it's going to happen. And if it does.
It's such A small percentage, and it would be such a blind sight. I don't need to protect myself from that. I do think there's a lot of questions about the box. Absolutely. I agree that there's a window that there's a missed opportunity.
You know, they they won a championship and will be forever grateful. I do wonder if, you know, the further out we'll get from this, we'll we'll be more mad. that they didn't win another one. And they certainly had their opportunities. And so they're firing Mike Budenhalzer.
at a time where they don't want the window to slip away. But in the meantime, they have some decisions to make. They have some decisions to make. I think there's like Giannis is 100% back. I think they'll sign Brooke Lopez to some deal, put that at 85.90.
Uh Chris. 50% true. I don't know. I don't know what they're going to do. I'd be looking to move these guys.
I'd be looking to shake it up. This didn't work. I think it's going to take more than the new coach in here. To get this group to work. You need to be younger.
And they don't, it's not like they even have enough young guys where it's just like, oh, we'll get a new coach in here, he'll play Marjan. He'll play Jordan Wara. He'll play Christian Wood. He'll play Mamu. I mean, we traded a lot of those guys for.
J. Crowder and Miritich and Paul Gasol.
So we had a plan, the Bucs did. They They made the plan. They succeeded in their plan. I liken this to a. Believe it or not, the MCU.
When I was doing the show on Friday. For Zach Galb. I said the Bucs had a plan. Their whole plan with Giannis was to get to end game. Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame.
And they got there. And it was a success. And then after that, they got to figure out what to do next. And they don't have a plan.
Now you're starting to see a plan come together, we think. But they really didn't have a plan, but they had like If you don't like some of the new batch of Marvel, it doesn't take away from how good. The Infinity saga was. And if you don't like this new batch of Bucs, it doesn't take away from how good the Bucs run was. They put everything into one basket to try to win a championship, and they did.
And when they did, they brought everybody back because they thought that was the best way, and it should have been. Then Middleton got hurt. Also, I still thought they should have been good enough to beat the Celtics. And then now they lost to the heat, which is totally unacceptable. And so Budenholzer's out.
And we'll see what happens next. I don't think this isn't an offseason where we need to talk about Giannis. I guess is what I'm saying. I think there was tangible reasons why the Lazarus sold. And they brought in Haslam because they have all this money coming up.
This is a guy that has money. He was willing to throw at. Uh, a championship we thought he gets here and then he. Does it win right away?
So I guess it's kind of funny on that regard. But of this offseason, Like, we could talk about ownership change, we could talk about Middleton, we can talk about holiday, we can talk about all these guys, but to make it about Giannis, it's just like. It seemed like a desperate move. From Wind Horse And that's where I draw the line. Hot take Jake wants to talk some bucks.
After the firing of Mike Budenholzer. Hey, Bart. It's your guy. I take Jake. I feel a little dejected right now.
Um because of the boot and hover stuff like you know yeah it sucks that business is business and sports and it was time to move on. It was the right call.
Somebody needed to be held accountable after that. you know, just horrendous showing in the first round there against Miami. Um I don't know, man.
Okay. trying to like be more positive, but this does feel like the end of an era. And I do think the But number one, Yeah. And I think that's going to be a mistake, at least when you talk about the Rafter construction because I was listening to you talk with Evan Heffel Peppelpuffer. I think I got that right.
And it was very telling because I think a lot of Box fans. going to feel the same way where he was like Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. The bus need to make changes. But yeah, I don't want to move on from Chris. Chris is perfect for Giannis.
Like, I don't want to move on from Drew. I think they're going to resign Brooke.
So it's like I think there's two. too much goodwill left from that finals run if that is possible. But Know people are going to romanticize that, and that's probably going to be like, Well, we can't move on from these guys, they want it for us, but. And in terms of like Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Three years will have passed by next playoff run or next. off season. And that's an eternity. And I just think that You know, you have to. Strike when the iron is hot, so to speak.
And I think the iron was probably hot last year if people wanted to be real, but now it's like lukewarm, so you have to like. what you can. And the other thing that's got me down, and I think a lot of Bucks fans may feel the same way, is like I think deep down we know that Giannis is fucking amazing, but I think there's a decent chance that his star burns outdoors. brightly and like Very hot. Meaning, I don't think his game is going to age well once he gets into like his early to mid-30s.
It's not going to be like Tim Duncan, who is just so fundamentally sound everywhere. And it's not going to be like a LeBron who, you know, because Giannis doesn't take drugs like LeBron does to keep his body the way that he does. And Giannis doesn't get, you know, the ridiculous whistle from the officials to, you know, Keep them at the free throw line.
So I don't know. Like, part of me is like, you got to just completely. completely reset this thing and go young and get some athletic guys to run with Giannis. The other part of me is like, I don't know how many years of prime genres we have left.
So I don't know, man. Cheer me up. And for the record part, I know it's not your guy, but they're going to hire Nick Nurse. Anyways. Uh but Yeah.
Six, I guess. I I don't know, got bucks lost. We'll see. Love you, Barty. Yeah, I love you too.
I mean, I got to be cheered up after that call, Jake. See, now we're pivoting to thinking about Giannis' star burning out. I'm not there. I would like a refresh of the roster if possible. And see what you can do.
I think that's fine. And if you bring it back, it's still a very good team. Like Drew and Middleton and Lopez, if they're back, that's still a good team. But then I would look at moving some other guys. Do you move Bobby?
Can you I mean, he is the mayor. Bobby, I wanted more out of Bobby than I think we got this year. And like Pat and Grayson. Who wants them? Yeah, we don't really have a lot of tradable assets, do we?
Marjan? Uh Yeah. Here is John and Franklin. Hey everybody, Jonathan Franklin.
Sorry about the voice. Not trying to impersonate Barry White, fighting off the last of a pretty pretty good run with a cold here. Just some thoughts and things before they completely disappear off the Wisconsin Sports Great Art. But, but Coach Bud, thank you so much for the. Championship.
We want a lot of Line off. A lot of um regular season games. You did get a championship and we'll always appreciate you for that. I don't celebrate anybody losing his job as a person who's been walked out of a couple of buildings. Um But uh understand it had to be done in the since Yeah.
the the inexplicable exit from this. Play off one this year. This brings a lot of things to the fore. And I'm hearing. You know, I want to weigh in on agreeing with you, Bart.
I do not want McNurse. Or, as I call him, nurse Nick with his fake glasses, so he looks smart. No. Don't want 'em. If I was coaching a bunch of really good players and then get tossed Kawhi Leonard motivated and actually.
you know, playing at the pinnacle of his game as he did against the Bucks. Yeah, I'd probably, you know She'll pretty well too. And if he came in and we won a championship, I would not worry. Stupid ass. or whatever the hell it is.
Okay. I'll wear a Bucks Championship hat, not his. Under any circumstance. And just briefly on the brewery. I like a lot of the changes that have come down with uh MLB.
But I don't think I really like the schedule. You know, I'm sure it's just an anomaly, but if instead of playing Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, we're going to be on the West Coast every other week. Not a fam. Take care, everybody. I'm out.
Yeah, they're on the west coast a lot. Um and that's kind of been One of the things that has been keeping me from Following this Brewers team as much as I Would normally do. There is a stark. There's a stark difference between how much I am watching the Brewers this season so far. and how much I would be If I was doing The old show.
I would be watching every game. It'd be. I mean, it'd get at least an hour run on our show every day. I'd be talking to McKelvey. I'd be talking to Tim Allen.
We'd be talking to. You know, whoever. But right now, you know, wrapped up with the different work things I'm doing. And then being wrapped up in the NBA playoffs. The Brewers.
That's why, again, I'm going to be on, we're going to do live shows Monday nights. Kind of refocus myself to watch this. This is a good time, I think, to play this voicemail. This is from. Brett and Tosa.
Hey, Bart Brett here. You know, love, love all the Bucks talk. Um, love all the butt talk. Obviously, that's that's the hot story right now, as it should be. Um, but I Brewers, I do want to circle back.
You know, I think it was Tim you and I had a conversation. in February or March about what the Brewers need to do in the the beginning of the season to get the fans back. And a couple of things we line laid out were having these young guys that was promising, bring those guys up, It was crucial to get off to a good uh starts this season. Um do some good things on social media and things like that. I feel like they've done all that and obviously they've the last week or so they went in a little slump.
Um Baseball. It's a long season, there's ups and downs, but for the most part, you know, the Cardinals are running themselves out of division race. Uh I would think the Pirates and Cubs are going to progress a little bit.
So the brewers that have it all right in front of them are off to a good start. I'm just curious. You know, you talked about your plan going forward and you're more invested in spring football and the Warriors and and things like that. It Is it just me? Have have the brewers done everything to Get stand back.
Is it just a you problem? I'm just kind of curious on why. You're not more into baseball. You know, you've talked about how national things, how you love all the real changes and all this stuff. Seems like.
Ev you you like everything that's going on, but you're not interested, so I'm just I'm just curious. Obviously there's not a lot of Bruce talk. Um In this In the state? There's a certain station that wants to run highlights from 15 years ago over a Bruce Pulse game in April. Um so um i'm just looking for someone that wants to talk bruce um so here's where you're at thank you Well, it looks like to get back to what John was saying, the Brewers are not on the West Coast.
again until at least I got the first half here, at least through the all-star break. Uh which is good. The Brewers have the Dodgers, as we know. Then the Royals go to St. Louis, go to Tampa, Houston, San Francisco comes here.
Toronto, it's Cincinnati. Uh Cleveland. Yeah. That says Baltimore. What am I doing?
They host the A's, Minnesota, Pittsburgh. Arizona's here, then Cleveland.
So they're on this side of the Mississippi. Outside of Minnesota. I think the rest of the Pretty much the rest of the, well, I think St. Louis, whatever. You know what I'm saying?
So I should be able to watch this. I think one of the problems for me. Is watching the Brewers is like. It's hard to like watch one game and then come back and watch another game. Five, seven days later.
The more you get into the brewers, the more you get into the brewers. Do you know what I mean? When you follow a team, and I look, I've been, whether it's having to call a soccer game or doing a national show where I, You know, if I I only have one they they stick me. I'm not even in my old studio. I'm in a production room so I can only have one screen up.
And I'm watching whatever NBA game's on at the time. You know, and I can't really watch the Brewers. And then, if I do, I start talking about the Brewers, and nobody, I mean, it's a national show. Nobody cares, but I still like the Brewers. I still like the Brewers quite a bit.
I am getting a little upset at myself when I get these emails about roster changes. There's guys on this team right now, on this roster, right now. that I wouldn't be able to tell you were on the roster. There's like a new pitcher every day and normally I'm all I'm all over that. But Bennett Sousa?
Elvis Peguero? I still don't know how to say Pyam's last name. Is that how you say it? I don't know. So I've been a bad fan.
I've been a bad fan. Uh It's me, high, I'm the problem. What's good about the Brewers is they sucked this week, but it didn't really matter because the whole NL Centro was ass. The Pirates, did they go 0 7 this week? Brewers are nineteen and fifteen half game back.
I think a series against the Dodgers will reinvigorate me a little bit. And then having these games on at different times. It's not just the Warriors either. I'm really into the NBA playoffs. Maybe it's because I know I'm talking about it on a national scale.
I'm going to be doing the writer than you show on Tuesday.
So I'll watch the Brewers, but I got to keep an eye on the NBA stuff. Um Be doing that Friday too. They're not really playing in the day a lot. And if they do, I forget about it and take a nap. Oh, I've been on a terrible sleep schedule.
I haven't drank in a week, and I'm actually sleeping like twice as much as I normally do. Saturday, I honestly think I slept between naps and getting up late and then trying to get up with my kid and falling back asleep and going to bed early. I think I was only awake for eight hours on Saturday. I'm like, my body's like. In shock.
That it hasn't had alcohol in it in six days. Oh, yeah, I'm not going to be like, I'm not going sober. I will be fucked up again very soon, but. Just wanted to I just want to see if I can lose my gut here. And I'm getting a lot of sleep.
You know, sleep is good. Sleep when you're dead? No, fam. I want my sleep now. You gotta think of that.
Like horses can't even lay down. Naturally. And I can. It's my natural state. I should take advantage of it now in case I'm ever reincarnated as a horse, along for these days.
where I could just lay my fat ass on my couch and watch Agents of Shield. You know, that might be the other thing too. I'm watching a lot of the Marvel. Maybe that's it. Maybe that's it.
But live show Monday night after the Brewers Dodgers. We'll get back into there. We'll get back into the brewers. For sure. That's today's show.
