The family is in bed. And I and you and we have just watched the Packers beat the Miami Dolphins 30 to 17. Now we see if Jordan Love will get the turkey leg and Leroy Butler.
Leap. Getting a lot of exposure on NBC tonight. That's that's awesome. He's doing a great job. And that food looks good. And that mac and cheese that the turkey is sitting on top of looks very good as well.
Packers get the win. We'll talk about it here for a few moments. Again, brought to you by Happy Place Hemp. Check out Happy Place Hemp dot com.
Twenty five percent off each and every order with the promo code Bart. Pretty much in control in this one. The Green Bay Packers, at least through the first half. Second half didn't put up as many points. You know, maybe felt a little bit like the Niners game, which is a good thing. But the Packers think there were some I know one buddy of mine was like really freaking out about. The Packers going conservative or not being conservative enough or still throwing the football.
And, you know, I've been to that point, too, where you can't celebrate until it's actually over. But this game kind of felt over for a long time. I think a big thing was and they touched on it on the broadcast. They did a good job of it was the Dolphins.
You could say they're soft. And I think there is something with they don't look like a cold weather team just because of the jerseys. But that report about all the thirty five hundred pounds of like. Insulation and all the stuff that they brought to stay warm, scuba gear, diving suits like being in the cold weather sucks. And I guess when you live in Wisconsin, you get hard into it over time. But if you're just in it one or three times a year, those people look miserable. And it is miserable.
I guess you learn how to stay warm or you just deal with it. But they looked absolutely miserable. Tyree kill Mike McDaniel to anybody to him.
Maybe not as bad. Look at Lee getting some good exposure on NBC. Letting him do the Turkey ceremony. I'm really pumped for Leroy about that. And I think they're giving Jordan Love the Madden Award and there is the Turkey.
And finally, they get one this year. I don't know where Jake is joining us from. I think he's there. I'm here. Are you in bed? Yeah, I'm I'm laying next to my favorite pussy and also my wife is next to me as well. So you're next to a cat? Yeah. Her name's Naughty.
OK. You can't hear a purring? Well, I mean, some of you guys are getting a little fast and loose with the things you're saying on here. I forget you're big time now. We got to watch our mouths. Well, and the YouTube dings me if I get if I got dinged for something these Sean O'Connell said the other day. But I was just talking about a cat. I mean, that's that's on YouTube. That's not me.
Look, you want to you want to text me sometime? I'll be dirtier than anybody. But I got to keep it clean on on the on the YouTube. Prove it. What? What are you sending back?
That's dirty. You start and then we'll have a nice exchange. Depends on how many rum drinks we have, I suppose. Well, we're starting with number two. No, not bad for Thanksgiving. Yeah. I had a couple of beers at lunch.
And then one around five o'clock. What kind of beers? River West Stein. Oh, very good. They make a very good N.A.
River West. They do. Yeah, it's phenomenal. There's Jordan eating that turkey. That's good.
I'm pumped about that. I'm eating the turkey. I'm next to my pussy. Everything's good.
Yeah, my pussy cat. I. So we almost got back up to 200 today because I had five plates. I had I had seconds four times today. Yeah, I went a little bit overboard on the dessert stuffing gravy, potatoes, green beans, mac and cheese. We did not have the mac and cheese. Yeah.
See, I had one giant plate, but then, yeah, I had like five different desserts. That was ridiculous. Isaiah McDuffie getting some NBC love. This is nice. Look at these guys. God, it's nice. Look at Leroy. I'm so pumped about Leroy. Yeah, I was happy to see Elroy or guy. Jordan's got a little food on his lip.
Austin's here. A little more well-lit. What's going on, boys? In many ways.
In many ways. Hey, we got a little wine tonight. Wine?
Yeah. I guess it's Thanksgiving. What is that, a sweet or a dry? It's a dry.
No brown soda, but it's a it's good. So what do you guys think? How about Rashaan Gary trying to sweep in and, you know, get a half a sack? He sucks. We Walker got a sack.
Are people pumped about that? I mean, I'll take anything at this point from the the poorest pass rush. Packers are nine and three guys.
It's sweet, man. Let's fucking go. Fuck the Dolphins. They're trying to make a comeback for their season.
We put a halt to it is awesome. You know, as I look at their schedule, I have no recollection of them playing the Cardinals. When did they play the Cardinals?
October 30 early. Oh, that's when Dobbs came back and scored. OK. My biggest takeaway from today. I think I was at my buddy's house that day.
That was a brown. So today. It's all starting to make sense.
I just want to say F number 12. Because if Dontavian Wicks had like two or three drops earlier in the season, Aaron Rodgers is not looking at him for four months. And Jordan Love just kept going back to Wicks tonight.
And that's why he's a leader. Yeah, Wicks had some nice blocks, too. I saw people were online bitching about Wicks. Yeah, I mean, he's got to get the drops under control. I going into tonight, I actually found a stat. The Packers had four of the top 13 guys in drops this year going into tonight. Well. So I think some of the love stuff's been overblown if half of those drive look like garbage on the first drive. Yeah, well, that penalty threw everything off. It was. Yeah, but then that pass was way too deep. I don't know what he was trying to do. And then it looked like he turned the ball over. Thank God he did not. Yeah, I mean, I think he just he's he may be one of these guys that needs to settle in. Eric Stokes got a turkey leg. What? Jeez. Yeah, Jake, to your point there, he does look like he needs to settle in like every every game he comes out like that and he's jumping at the line and throwing balls deep.
I don't know what that is, but I don't really care. Yeah, I'm not going to harp on that. Yeah, he comes into form, but it does seem like he does start like that often. And if we get what we got today from Jordan Love going forward, maybe we're all of a sudden a surprise contender. Although really the sacks from the defense is what's going to make or break this team. They have to be able to rush the passer.
Well, I don't think, you know, big picture. We'll see what Minnesota does this weekend. I would have liked for Detroit to have lost.
Obviously, I don't know how I mean that that that bears not to make this a whole bears thing, but it was I was as many times as we've seen them lose in a similar way. I was simply stunned about what was happening. I was and they weren't calling a time out. They weren't doing anything.
I was so stunned. And even flutes may get fired this weekend, but the Lions, it would have been nice if they could have. But still, I think I think they're beat us next week. I think they're just I think they're I think we're getting good. And I think they are still worlds better than us, even if you know they've been scuffling and they're not even scuffling they scuffled today maybe they're not really scuffling they just didn't convert touchdowns to kick field goals. I the Lions obviously are terrific. Yeah, maybe, but also the Bears played.
They played the Packers pretty tough too. Yeah, you know, maybe they they got a little edge on them and they're like okay well fuck you guys sorry for the language. Don't say that just oh, I can't just say anything weird like the Sean O'Connell who is here but he froze. There he is. Inflatable turkey behind him. You're a little frozen Sean that's unsettling. Yeah, he's, there's two turd there's two turkey inflatables behind him. We've noticed more people doing Christmas and more people doing Halloween. Now people, there's a lot of turkeys around town I've known. Sean you're gonna have to go back inside.
I like the aesthetic for the day and shade YouTube stream it looks good. Book your next trip today and united.com. This year, Santa's bringing the power of energizer into his workshop, whoa, the energizer bunnies got so much power, we powered up all the toys. I love this buddy. He's the hardest working helper the North Pole has ever seen, and he wants all your gifts to have the power of the number one longest lasting AA battery.
So this holiday season stock up on Santa's and the elves favorite battery energizer ultimate lithium. I was filled with joy, watching those seconds tick off the clock for Chicago, like what are they doing, oh my god this is really happening it was amazing. Although I don't think Eber flusil get fired. The bears have never fired a head coach mid season in their entire history as a franchise so I would bet against that. They know they got to do something though. Yeah, they'll wait till the offseason though that's there. I mean, what's, what's the upside of firing him now versus the offseason. You get the stink out of the building I mean, crash, they got a lot of things to work with so you get you get you block him from being able to coach Caleb.
Well, the best part is and I think you've talked about this several times Bart is like, they will not do the right thing which is get a new GM and a new coach, so they'll fire the coach keep the GM then they'll fire the GM with the old coach still being there then they'll fire the coach. And it's just a never ending beautiful cycle. Yeah. Alright Sean's inside I like what you're trying to do there but didn't work. You get all bundled up for that. It's cold out and I've been drinking beer and.
Oh, and wild turkey all day. Has Sean ever been more drunk than I have. I don't know, Sean looks like he beat himself up today. No, you know what Sean looks like he looks like that uncle that you have that has like the same Facebook profile picture nine times in a row just him like looking down to the camera in his car, trying to figure out how to work this contraption.
If any of you kids have ever spent a night in a war as Mexico jail and live to talk about it, then come at me. That's all I'm gonna say. Sean was going to have people today. Why Sean. All I'm going to say is this part Winkler, and as you as the face of my Packers love. Roy Butler is currently the greatest living Packer in the world. He currently is that guy. I will fight any man in the parking lot of the pine cone at the intersection of I 94 and highway 26 in Jefferson that says any different.
If you can get the better of me. I will go in and buy you your body weight of cream puffs, because Leroy Butler is the greatest living Packer in the world, he could have put himself. May put himself on a pedestal on national TV instead he put his uncle over for his mac and cheese. I love Josh Jacobs, and we're on it's today's Thanksgiving. It's about a day of love our quarterbacks last name is love. That's not a coincidence.
If you're able to love your family on today. The dropping Sean O'Connell. He just pulled the Costanza you just leave on a high note, leave a high note and.
All right, I got some comments here. Adam says did it seem like the rest were a bit flag happy today except on the one play that should have been an obvious call on Watson I think they just wanted to go home. There was a flag there, and they knew that Miami wasn't going to come back but yeah there should have been a flag there, early on, a lot of play a lot of flags in the league in general, what's great is on Monday Night Football bucking Aikman just bitch about it the whole time. You guys still watch, I watched the Manning cast. Well I watched the first half with volume but not the second half. And we talked about that I can't do the Manning cast, like, I'm too indoctrinated to an NFL broadcast.
I just I tried and it's like, I don't know I need just standard. Everything presented to me in a nice concise way. Paula says the pack is back baby. Stalice Tom says put any doubt over whether taking Jacobs over Aaron Jones was the right call. Jacobs is a gam gam.
It means grown ass man I don't know, I thought he was talking about his legs parts. Yeah. Um, and I told you that. Jacobs is great so victory lap from your daily fantasy. The Avengers. Greg says a kicker that makes kicks looks good.
Yes. Tyler says Matt Leflore is now a top 10 all time winning percentage coach. For those that think he's not a good head coach. Let's see him get to, you know, a Super Bowl, that's, I won't trust them until he does it. Remember every time Green Bay wins what we're going to do at the end of the season we did this last year is with Happy Place hemp. So, get your orders in for Christmas. Okay and the stocking stuffers and would you know it's nice when you open up and there's some gummies in there are some seltzers or whatever that's always great even the dog and get some for your dog.
So you're getting specific treats not just feed a gummy to your dog they have they make them for the dogs, but every Green Bay when you know how it's 25% off every order promo code Bart. So every Green Bay, every order. Huh, every order I thought that was a one time thing. No, Jake, you'd be mistaken is actually every order.
Yes, every time. What a deal. So, at the end of the season it will be 25 plus at least nine so it'll be at least 34% off at the end of the season. Because already up to nine wins. So continue to do that math, but right now, through the rest of 2024.
It's still a whopping 25% off every order at Happy Place hemp.com. Love it. I love that we're at a point here where these games like are not that stressful again. But still the post it's not like, like, when we had Rogers it's like okay we're winning these games and we know we're going to get dicked in the playoffs. But this is like, well we're winning these games over better than I thought, what's going to happen in the playoffs we don't know. So there's still it's not like you're saying there's a, we have a fighting chance in the playoffs, I'm saying I'm enjoying the ride.
Yeah, which is what everyone told you to do forever. And so I have a theory though, who did you watch the game with today part. My son for the first half and then myself. Okay, well then my theories, just blown up, because I wasn't stressed out either but my thought process was, I'm amongst a bunch of family members it's like a party atmosphere. Whereas if I'm watching a game by myself, I just get in my own head and it is stressful.
No, I watched pretty much all the games with my kid today I mean he was doing other shit but he got into it. It was very fun. Happy Place hemp. Yes, anywhere in Wisconsin, they will deliver.
Also, most of the United States, not just continental, there's a guy from Hawaii that loads up as well. Is that kavika. I don't think so. Where's kavika been. Where's Shay. Where's Shay. Shay, I don't know where she is I didn't, I could text them.
Well, this morning I was in the gym. And I want to dance with somebody came on the overhead speakers and I started thinking about how I want to go to scrub it up and then I'm like where the hell Shay been Shay told me he had an announcement last Monday. And he said he wouldn't announce it and then on Thursday I said hey I'm gonna go live. Do you have your announcement he said no. That was a week ago, there could be something dark going on there with Tim.
Yeah, maybe he's moving to North Carolina or South Carolina. For no for that gal. I don't know much about that.
I don't either. It was, yeah, there was a girl wasn't there, she was texting them. There a girl from England that was into them. Yeah, Lois. Oh, Lois. Where'd Lois go. I don't think Lois was so much into Tim as like the Cliff Crystal of Into the Winkler verse he's the historian. I know I think much about it.
Tony was like trying to make Lois and Tim a thing that's what I think happened. Yeah, possibly. All right, here's a fun fact you're leaving. Yeah, I'm gonna go lay down and I'm going to catch the rest of this tomorrow. All right, love you guys. It's pretty much already peaked so.
That's why I love this show. Bye. See ya.
You're out. Yeah, I'm gonna go take care of some business. Right. She said no. You're so cool Jake.
Well no I mean if I was trying to be cool I would have been like oh yeah she's ready to roll but no she says no. All right. Well have a good night. Love you brother. Keep the show on in the background at least if if you do. Easier than ever.
Get started at HubSpot dot com slash marketers. Discludes digital only games terms and embargoes apply. Stalice Tom is a nice fun fact. Packers haven't allowed 20 points since they played the Lions a month ago who they play next. Yeah, Lions are good man. Bobby Buckwheat says what's the deal with everyone thinking this game was so cold. This shit is mild. Yeah, I mean we're upper 20s. You know, it's colder than it has been. And for most of the country, like people, they're, they're thought on what Wisconsin is that don't like most of America thinks Wisconsin is the Yukon territory, that it's always cold. And when you tell someone like, oh the summers here are great. They think you mean like one week it gets to 60 degrees. They just they don't get it, they, they think Wisconsin is the movie Fargo.
That's what they think our accents aren't as not are not as pronounced as theirs in Minnesota and the Dakotas. I hate to say it but the weather has changed since when I was a kid. The weather has the climate has changed. Over the years, where it's nicer. And it doesn't snow as much.
Okay. But yeah they think they think of this is just like a frozen farmland. And they're talking about the dolphins.
It's interesting. Yeah, it's cold for them. And they're bad in the cold. I think Terry Brad show is on TV today say no two is good in the cold and then they immediately showed.
He's one for seven under a certain degrees he's over for I think now for 540 degrees. But the dolphins, it's like they've never even been in front of an air conditioner, the way that they reacted to the cold tonight, I mean they they looked miserable. And you're right, it wasn't that cold like we just saw the dolphins play in a playoff game, where it was, what was it negative 15, or what in Kansas City, people that were there, had to have like their legs amputated from how frostbit it was. This was nothing like that. Nothing like that.
But that's what people think Wisconsin is. And you know you play it up on TV and the game's getting out of hand so then you're, you're going with that angle but yeah, it was a little obnoxious. Jake is in bed now. Still, Jason Garrett's a better color guy than Tom Brady I thought Jason Garrett was as good as Jason Garrett's ever been. And I yeah I was I was, I was entertained by Jason Garrett now there was a point at the beginning of the game where he didn't talk for like five minutes.
I was kind of odd. He knew what to say. And Collins worth is the best. But Garrett had some good stories and they played up that Thanksgiving game. And I thought it was interesting Jason Garrett's in the booth LaRoy's down there. Remember that Thanksgiving game where Jason Garrett was amazing. And beat us. And they showed highlights of that which 35 years later it doesn't hurt as much. But that that was a shitty day remember we finally thought we were getting Dallas because they had their third string quarterback who was even the second string at the time. I remember, but then Garrett played and we're all like good Packers finally gonna win. My cheeks getting fat again. We're still under two but again I I had I had a five plate day, and I just was dipping some Turkey and some mashed potatoes.
Before I came down here. So I hope everybody else had a good spread. Maybe Wade Wilson maybe.
Yeah, because he was talking about Wade Wilson. But yeah, the food was great. Oh, and then for lunch I had leftover. We ordered last night. You know it's Thanksgiving you lose weight to have Thanksgiving if you can if you can enjoy it, you can enjoy it, and I did go to the gym today.
I did my own little Turkey trot, aka 45 minute treadmill walk at three and a half miles an hour. So, in case I'm just just I don't know what I'm why I'm telling you this, who cares. All right, so Packers beat the Dolphins 30 to 17, Jordan love 21 to 28 to 74, and two scores 129.2 rating now two weeks in a row without an interception. Not that there were close Rodney Pete, okay, not that there weren't close turnovers.
Because there were. I never thought that pass went forward I was to read late. I was a little concerned about that first one I did think that was going to be a fumble. But it was not. But Jordan love was good.
The again the first. The first drive was shaky. But he was, I mean he was efficient he was good they were throwing, they were throwing a little more aggressive again, you might one of them to run the football more and maybe we're worried about the outcome they were still throwing late.
I'm totally fine with all that if the dolphins are going to give it to you take it. Love was playing well, almost had another touchdown to wicks. It would have been a penalty but I mean love was great. So, it's Toyota thon he plays well during this time.
And if you're worried about love. If this is like becomes a thing maybe this is a thing where the first half he just like takes a while in the second half he goes but again loves been banged up this year. He's been banged up. He's remember the game he came back he was like terrible he's throwing everything low guy was hurt guy was hurt and injured.
They look really good tonight just Jacobs 19 for 43 and a touchdown so a lower running output but how about that 49 yard catch the highest of his career, and the movie put on those guys was incredible Josh Jacobs is great. And he is a great runner for this style of offense, the floor is having an incredible year, maybe his best coaching year. Although I would still contend that having to put up with Rogers is is heroic in and of itself. Look, I, I think there's sometimes that Matt Leflore like does things that were like huh and I still think he needs to experience something before he really gets good at it which is fine, but I'm like for how that search went. Remember he was like the last guy they interviewed.
I mean he had to deal with Rogers right away and now he gets his own guy. I'm very happy with Matt Leflore is our head coach. There will be times where I criticize him.
There have been many times when I have criticized him. But as you saw today. We could do we could do a lot worse than Matt Leflore, as the head coach, a lot worse. And I think that that bears thing was maybe more on Caleb than even flutes but still what the fuck.
That was stunning. Like I was like most of America, like verbally saying, What are you doing bears fans across the country are like breaking fingers trying to call timeout. Lee did not like Garrett Lee did not like Garrett. So we got one pro Garrett and one anti Jason Garrett, which is fine. Tucker crafts six for 78 Josh Jacobs like I said 74 yards receiving Watson at a long 167 yards on two catches wicks was good no Romeo Dobbs night still with the concussion read three for 24 but two touchdowns. And I thought Chris Brooks ran hard he'd three carries 28 yards he and Wilson both when those guys get in.
It seems like Josh Jacobs sometimes with like do the dirty work. And then those guys get in and just rip off 15 yarders and it's like oh fuck these guys are better. They're not but we got a nice little running back room here. Greg says assuming we make it in as a wild card do we want the winner of the NFC West or South depends who it is. Do you want to go to San Francisco. If they win Do you want to, I mean I'll go to Arizona I'll go to Seattle. I'll go to the Rams Rams might be tough.
South, I think we prefer the south. I still think Tampa makes a run there. I don't think Miami is completely out of it either. Their schedules cake.
This was kind of the hard one. So I don't think they're completely out of it, but Tampa is the other team in Florida that I think is going to go on a bit of a run. And I might, I might like them to win the NFC South.
So we'll see how that plays out but you probably want to do that. I just don't want to play San Francisco I know we just beat the shit out of them but again, they had their backup quarterback who's terrible. I just, you know, playoffs is that we're like we're like the light version of Bill's Kansas City where we can beat San Francisco in the regular season but we can't in the postseason.
Can't and won't. With the wind tonight Oh defensively McDuffie 10 tackles Quay Walker 10 tackles he had a sack sack for Ingabari was really good great tackle on a third down Bretton Cox Kenny Clark Nixon opened the game up with a really good kick return so just all around I mean yeah there were there were times where you're like oh boy are we going to blow this maybe. I never really felt that we were and I think, I think if you did tonight it's just, you know, you want these games to be secure and in hand and the Packers did enough in the first half to not make that to not make that an issue so great, great win by them nine and three are the Packers Vikings sit at nine and two there again we're not going to win the NFC North the lines will be able to hang on to that.
So we're looking at the five seater the succeed. And we just it's it's too hard to know how things are going to play out with each division so we'll watch games one week and think oh I hope the Rams beat this team or the Falcons lose or whatever as we try but really we're going to be two to three wins better than whatever team, we go face in the playoffs. Now it will be on the road. And you'll likely have to be the road warriors the whole way. And everybody will then say well it's been 14 years from 96 to 2010 and 2024 and they were the road warriors in 2010 and, and I'll say that to less sarcastically. But, and again I don't think we're at the point yet where we're demanding Super Bowls.
I think we're getting close to that. But right now the cream of the crop in the NFC is the Eagles, and the lions, lions, Eagles, Packers and Vikings. So, I'm not trying to like just a pre justify a loss. But the lions. Though, the lion should not not make the Super Bowl.
They're the best team. I'm eager to see how we do against them next week. We beat them next week then we can start having some different conversations, because they'll be on the road in their place that Thursday after Thanksgiving it's always two things giving teams that play. So it's us and them, and then they'll get that extra by. And then it wants us to stay indoors on the way to getting to New Orleans. Uh, yeah, that could happen.
That could happen. Remember, Packers have a lot of night games coming up too. So the noon, the noon games are basically over. They play Thursday night, then we play Sunday night, then we play Monday night. We play the game in Minnesota on the 29th, which is scheduled to be at noon, but I think it's going to get flexed week 17. Because week 17 is dog shit. Week 17, the Sunday night game. This is the week we play Minnesota after Christmas. It's dolphins and browns. Cowboys play the Eagles late Fox will want to keep that. Falcons commanders Cardinals Rams Broncos Bengals Packers Vikings I'm expecting that game to be a night game so there's a chance that with tonight, we got five night games in a row. These Sean O'Connell ended up having a good two minutes. The ring camera woke up Mrs O'Connell and it led to a fun time.
120 seconds of physical bliss hashtag winning hashtag winning little sweaty from this ring light in the basement. Alright, so good job Packers appreciate you sticking around a little bit on a Thanksgiving it's very nice to. Well see you but for you to see me as you blow it out for the day. Enjoy tomorrow badgers Minnesota on a Friday kind of weird going to watch that.
