You're in good hands with Allstate. Good afternoon everybody. Happy New Year everybody. I am Bart Winkler. Welcome into the Winklerverse live after the Packers have lost to the Chicago Bears.
That's right. Lost to the Chicago Bears. Something that we haven't said or had to say or been able to say depending on how you look at it since 2018.
My son, five years old. This is the first time the Bears have ever beaten the Packers in his lifetime. And I told Rami McLaughlin the other night when he was in on the score. I said if the Bears were ever going to beat the Packers, it would be this week when the stakes are about as low as you can get.
Bears do slip. I think it's going to go from 9 to 10 in the draft order. So nothing too shocking. The fact that the Patriots won today is interesting and something I'll talk about on the Infinity Sports Network show a little bit this week.
But we're talking Packers here as they lose to the Bears 24 to 22. A lot of people are angry. Here's what I think is going on. People want to be mad. They're not sure what they want to be mad about. I'm not going to Milwaukee Bucks this like I do and say it doesn't matter. They'll turn it on in the playoffs.
I don't think that's the case here. I think there are things in this game where you're like, all right. And I would love to say that they're going to Ohio State this playoff run. Lose to Michigan and then look like the best team on earth that's ever played football in the upcoming games. But I don't.
So let's start at the beginning. I don't think the Packers are going to win the Super Bowl. I don't think this is a Super Bowl caliber team. I don't think this is a Super Bowl year. I don't think this is Matt Lafleur's best team. All the talk about, well, if he wins, is he on that? If he doesn't win, is he on the hot seat?
This is fabrication. This doesn't need to. What are we doing? Matt Lafleur is not on the hot seat if they don't win in the playoffs.
There's some things that you can question about Matt Lafleur. And that's fine. And we'll get into all that in the next 30, 45 minutes. However long we go here today.
I'll throw the link up in a second. The Packers will play the Eagles in the playoffs. We could talk about the seating aspect of it. I don't really care. I don't want to go to LA. I don't want to lose to the Rams. Rams can beat us. I don't want to go to Tampa. They can beat us.
I don't want to go to Philly. They can beat us. All these teams can beat us. All these teams can beat the Packers.
Any one of them can. I just don't want to lose to Minnesota. I just don't want to lose to Detroit. So whatever happens, I want the seating that doesn't let us lose that game. That's what I'm rooting for. That's what I was rooting for with this game today. I don't want the game to be on Monday night.
I don't believe it will be. I was rooting for that. And I don't want to lose in Detroit or in Minnesota. However the playoffs shake out, those are the things that I do not want.
I do want to before we really sink our teeth into the matter at hand. Happy Place Hemp. We've been talking about this throughout the season. Every win for Green Bay gets added to the new one-week special.

So promo code BORT now live. Freedom Boner, my boy. I miss Freedom B. Terrible time management. Bears should have had 25 seconds left on the clock. There's a lot of things about Matt Lafleur in this game that people have issues with. I don't blame you. The time management was weird. You could talk about if he should have played these guys. You're going for the win.
I don't know. If they wouldn't have played them, would we have been upset? I mean, Washington ended up winning anyway, so I guess now, looking back, it doesn't matter. And you've given the Bears, you've given them that win over you.
But again, if it was going to ever happen, this is like the least impactful time that it can happen. My kid, I believe he's a Packer fan, but then he always says, oh no, I was rooting for the team that won. And so he says, I was rooting for the Bears. I go, okay, you can root for the Bears, but they're not playing again until you're in first grade. The Packers play next weekend.
So I had to remind him of that. It still would have been funny if Santos missed that field goal, but he did not. Play calling suspect at best. Here's going to be a very annoying topic of conversation this week. Should the Packers...
I don't know. Maybe he didn't play well enough to really drive the issue, but Malik Willis. And there's already been plenty of Packer fans that would rather have Malik Willis in instead of Jordan Love or want to have that discussion.
That's not the discussion that you want to have. The discussion that you want to have and that you can have is, is Matt Lafleur a better play caller with Malik Willis than he is with Jordan Love? Does the offense look better with Malik Willis? We've got a big bruising running back. We've got two other guys. We've got two other guys in Brooks and Wilson that can carry the rock.
We could probably, the Packers, run teams to the ground if they wanted. Now you have a $55 million quarterback, and I think he is good. I mean, he is good. Jordan Love is good. We're not doing that.
Jordan Love hasn't been as sharp. You know, he was fine and then Toyota-thon and then he was good. And then we all recognize Toyota-thon. So now I think that was part of the problem. We shouldn't have acknowledged it.
It was a thing. Deshawn, I don't see us winning a Super Bowl with Matt Lafleur. The further we go into these, that's going to be just like Andy Reid in Philadelphia, and he'd gotten them there.
But at some point, is Matt Lafleur, are we going to look at him as good enough to get into the playoffs, not good enough to win in the playoffs? And he goes right in line with everything that happened with Mike McCarthy. And thank God they won that Super Bowl in 2010. I mean, if we would have had all this success since 1996 and still not had another Super Bowl, I'm not saying like, oh, we deserve Super Bowls. But for the level of success that the Packers have had to not have another Super Bowl would be criminal.
And it's still kind of criminal that they've had this much success since 2010 and haven't even been back to one. Alex wants to know, what if I already use the code? Can I use it again for HappyPlaceHemp.com? Absolutely.
If you've already used BORT, use it again. 36% off through Wildcard Weekend, HappyPlaceHemp.com. In fact, let's throw the old banner up there. There it is right next to Rob Deer on the Dan Shanie YouTube stream. Adam says, I was just listening to Matt Leflore press conference. The media asks off questions. Why don't they just straight ask him, why does the special team still suck late in the season?
I didn't see it like what they asked him. But, you know, you're not trying to Matt Leflore is a guy that the media needs something from and they don't want to get on his bad side, I think. But the media is not going anywhere.
Matt Leflore is not going to be like, oh, no, that guy can't come here. They're not going to start doing that. So I agree that the media could do a better job of asking and so, you know, I've been in that room and I've asked no questions. So I don't want to be a hypocrite in press conference rooms. You're never going to get some fans, some fans want their anger to seep through the reporters.
They want the reporters to be like, hey, Leflore, what the fuck is going on, you piece of shit, which will never happen. But a poignant question about Rich Passaccia, like, what are you paying this guy for? You're getting duped out on punt returns. Like, you're making mistakes, you're making mistakes on punts.
What are you paying this guy a bunch of money for? I don't think so about Willis. Yeah, I mean, he's a great I think he's a great backup. I love him as a backup.
Certainly do. But this is not a guy that we need to start thinking about as a as a starting quarterback for us. Maybe another team gives him maybe gets a Geno Smith type shot someday. But Malik Willis should not be starting a playoff game unless Jordan Love is on is unable to play, which it doesn't seem it seems like he'll be able to come back. I mean, he almost came back in this game.
His he was. But then they said elbow and maybe some sort of nerve situation. I'm not totally sure. We'll find out more. Again, I just scurried to the basement. Honey, I got to go do a do a podcast.
So I didn't I didn't see any of the any of the stuff. Anything interesting is of note regarding the injury with with love. Now, Watson got hurt, too. Jordan Love says he doesn't feel 100 percent as if he feels good to play.
Yeah. Christian Watson's dad tweeted, my son made a very costly decision today to try and help his team. I love that. So he's already pretty don't attack my son for playing. Jordan Love says he's inconsistent. Xavier McKinney, we have no choice but to flip the switch.
And that's something that we've talked about a lot. You don't want to be going into the playoffs like this. You don't you don't want to. But I again, I'm not sure. I don't. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know that.
I don't like if they want to get if they went today by 40. Does that matter? You feel you feel better. You feel better.
I feel better. But then what happens is they start the game and they throw a pick right away. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. We think it matters. Like if you're playing like shit and you're stupid and your coach is making bad decisions. There might be some things that aren't correctable.
But I also ask you, how far do you think this team is going to go? My dad works in B2B marketing. He came by my school for Career Day and said he was a big ROAS man. Then he told everyone how much he loved calculating his return on ad spend.
My friends still laugh at me to this day. Not everyone gets B2B, but with LinkedIn, you'll be able to reach people who do get a hundred dollar credit on your next ad campaign. Go to LinkedIn dot com slash results to claim your credit. That's LinkedIn dot com slash results. Terms and conditions apply. LinkedIn, the place to be to be.
I think it's using the background of a job fair. Yeah, I wanted one. So, Matt, before I know where you can go thing there, it says fire eyebrows. And we also have Q.
Rock and the Bucks hat. So, gentlemen, it's good to see you both. Jake, I know you've been all over the floor. I think you've got no reason to change that stance today. First things first, I want to start positive.
Right. Number one, Q, it's good to see you. I haven't seen you in a while, buddy. I was happy to see you there. Bart, you look great. I think the Christmas wait, the holiday wait, it's already coming off.
You look amazing, buddy. We're still dancing around 200. Yeah, but it's not always just the wait. You got to remember that, you know. Yeah. Jesus. I'm just I'm tired of this dude. He's a roadblock for this organization. And people are fooled by the fool's gold of who is Matt Leflore.
There's an entire package of why they're fooled. But let's talk about the game. So you just disappeared for those.
Yeah. He must disagree. I don't know where he went. Let's talk about the game itself. I was livid like two plays in when I saw Christian Watson on the field. I'm going, why the hell is he playing there? Like there was no upside to him playing. And, you know, I got a couple of buddies in the group chat and they all they do is defend the floor.
It's the floor is a God. Well, no, you've got to get his rhythm back. You know, he's got to know the offense and have the timing down. He's a third year guy. OK, the only shot you had of doing any lengthy postseason run is you needed him healthy.
There are different offense when he's healthy. So let's put him out on concrete trying to plant and cut on. I mean, go out to your front yard right now and try to plant off of that concrete.
That is your front lawn. It's not going to do it. I do not want to tear my ACL. And well, here's the other thing is, you know, they'll talk about, well, it's why do you care so much? It was a meaningless game. Well, you can't have the attitude of this is a meaningless game and then also play all of your starters. You only say that because it didn't work out for you.
So that's like your your straw man argument. Let's let's talk about the play calling. How many times have we seen this guy?
A third and short fourth and short and he gets cute and tries to run reverses. Hey, we need to. Oh, yeah. The Jets. We've got to go. What is that?
Has that ever worked ever in that situation? On top of that, the play where Malik Willis throws up a duck. And somehow I forget.
I think it was Reid that came down with it. That was short. Then we need nine and we just dump it three yards in front of the line of scrimmage.
I don't understand that. I'm glad somebody brought up the clock management. So we kicked the field goal. There was 58 seconds left when they call that time out. You could have ran the clock down to twenty three seconds. You're not getting the ball back. There's no reason to save like that time.
You don't need it. You know, why? Why didn't they? What were they doing? Because it's Matt Leflore. This is what he does.
Everything that you should do. He's like it's a George Costanza situation. He should do the opposite of whatever his instinct tells him to do. You could then you look at the defense. This isn't on him necessarily, but they're guarding the sidelines. You know, Chicago has the ball. Fifty seconds to go one time out.
Guarding the sideline. Did they think they had five seconds left in the game and not 15? Because you give them the middle of the field, gave them like 15 yards on that play.
Why on earth were you just like, hey, you can have it. But someone needs to explain that to me. They're able to get down. It was flawless execution.
And this was from an offense that did nothing to you all day. And this is what they do in these endgame situations. It's they shrivel up. The moment becomes too big. It's horrendous. I can't.
I can't. My brain block management before the McManus kick. They could have ran like a minute off the clock and they didn't like that's even worse. Like you you like like they could have called it a time out and then like just let.
I don't know. They could have just ran the clock down. And even when they kicked it, I think there was like 15 or 20 seconds left on the play clock. So like it's a game ending situation and like you just gifted the Bears an extra like minute.
Which they use. There's a tweet from Ryan Wood. Matt Lafleur said typically an offense needs 12 seconds to complete a pass in the middle of the field and stop the clock with no time out. The Bears had more than that before the field goal. They had 15 seconds. The Packers allowed them the middle of the field because it was third and 15. He's saying they did not expect a 20 yard slant.
So Matt Lafleur did not expect the Bears. And I think in that like situation don't don't like anything's possible. You know, don't don't think that it's not. And so this is it just how many years have been here?
Six. And I used to say that we need to go through things before or he needs to go through things before. Like he can't know what he's going to do until he does it. But then he always does it wrong. Well, now things are starting to like happen repeatedly guys.
I he's an idiot. Well, does anybody else get sick of this whole like, well, they're a second half team at some point. Shouldn't you be able to have your guys ready to play and not have to get absolutely, you know, ran up and down the field in the first half and actually, you know, be a cohesive unit to start the game.
Why is that just like we let that go? I call time out. I call time out. It's the this the connection was fuzzy, but I think he's here. Ladies and gentlemen, from the falls. Matt.
Hello, Matt. Well, thank you. Well, thank you. Welcome back. Oh, that warm welcome. Not the Packers, that's for sure. I just thought, give me some life.
Give me some. I mean, injury bug just can't stay away. Even with Jordan Love, though, I don't know. I mean, next week, we got the Eagles Eagles.
We got to go to Philadelphia. It's not going to be I'm not optimistic. Hopefully, hopefully we can pull something off. But I don't know.
I really don't know. I don't think we're a Super Bowl team. So maybe I got something for that. I got something for that. I think I'm going to I'm going to say a couple of things. I'm going to get out of here. You've already like, take a breath, buddy. You need a little break.
I'm so thankful for the code, but I have a board 36% off board. I agree with with Jake that the decision to make to start the starters was moronic. Like the game. You guys would have been mad because then they're not playing to know because nobody wants to play Philly.
Let me tell you again. Seating does not matter. We're going to lose no matter who we play against.
I disagree. But like, if we control their own destiny, if a win meant you could avoid Philly, like then yes, play your starters. But the fact that like we had to win and we're playing it again, like at the same time that commanders are playing like and they had to lose for us to get in.
Like to me, it was a meaningless game from the start. I agree wholeheartedly like starting. What's his face the receiver, but Watson like didn't make sense. And it looks like he tore his ACL. So he's done for next year too. And, like, the idea of playing Jordan love in this game when like he has had an MCL strain all year, like he's able to play on it but like he hasn't been himself because of that.
And like how often do quarterbacks get concussed, and then they miss a week automatically and it's like the playoffs are next week like it just didn't make sense to me. I'm playing the starters, and then, like I still have confidence that this team can do something against Philly because Hurst or their quarterback has hasn't heard. Yes, Jalen. Yeah.
He hasn't played in a couple weeks. Right. And I don't know, I really mean Philly is going to boat race us.
You think so. Yeah, maybe if they were healthy they wouldn't get boat race but that is, you know, hobbled. You think we're stopping you see that one touchdown they had were Jevon Bullard like was going to the angle. Was it more that scored.
He was going to the angle and then he's like, no, I'm gonna go this way instead to cut he was going to tackle him by the 15, and say try to tackle by the five. The game 10 yards and then he fell, and he didn't, he didn't get the tackle. I don't think that AJ Brown and Devontae Smith. Devonta and Dallas Goddard and Jalen hurts and Saquon Barkley are going to be slowed down by this defense, I just do not see it. So, I, I do think that the last couple weeks have been somewhat vanilla, because we're not they have American dollars on Aaron Rodgers right now.
What to what. I thought I don't know what this last game I'll probably throw it to Devontae 15 times. Maybe you think it's his last game ever.
Who wants them. I think the Steelers a lot of Tennessee not like that. Look at him.
He sucks today. Yeah, I don't know that. I think somebody will pick them up there's always got the number one pick in the draft they don't need Rogers they get your word. I think he'll, he's going to get caught, like he's going to get released so he can sign somewhere on the cheap, and then anyone will take him. Go to the Giants or the Raiders like they're going to the Niners, somebody will take them to be a backup. No, I think, like, maybe they just don't isn't pretty in a contract here. Yeah, well they have to decide if they're going to give them $55 million. Yeah, so like, you could just not do that and pay Rogers like 10 million I don't know where Matt went by the way I don't know where Yeah, Matt get back in here. I'm going to drop off.
The floor is an idiot. Thank you. All right. So I'd like to address something as far as like are they a Super Bowl contender truly.
I don't know it doesn't feel like it but again in my group chat guy saying like they just don't have the talent to you know your team. So here I looked up some numbers here and here, I'm gonna put on my cue glasses. I don't wear glasses but I thought it'd be a good bit.
What do you need to win it I can't even tell the difference you and glasses it's like the difference between Clark Kent and Superman. I'll take it. But, so what's the old cliche What do you need to win in the playoffs right you got to have a good running game and you got to have good defense. So, going into today you know all the games haven't been played yet.
I'm going to listen intently. This is written on a napkin by the way, Green Bay, fifth and rushing yards and elite running team right. Let's talk about their defense that we always criticize and you know they're terrible. Third and turnovers seventh insects, which I just blew my mind when I read that, by the way, the the vaunted Philadelphia defense is 12 Detroit is 25th sixth and points allowed and seventh and rushing yards allowed so they can also stop the run. Okay, so they've got the rushing yards and the defense, something's not, you know, connecting here let's let's look at it further. Maybe it's well they just get penalized too much now they're middle of the road for penalty yards. On top of that, seventh in the league and passing yards despite Jordan love missing all that time.
You have an elite kicker, and an elite punter. Where's the disconnect, the talent is there, what is happening here, there is something that is ruining this whole concoction of talent that we have. I'm tired of the eyebrows I'm tired of people falling for the pretty boy, you know, 2005 frat boy good looks, and you know the suave answers in the press conference and his. He has this like fake tough guy little brother syndrome where he wants to be as respected as a guy like who's Detroit's ass ass head coach Campbell. He's not meant to be a head coach.
Maybe he could be a great like coordinator you know an assistant. This, the moments, those little moments in the game itself where you have to make a decision he consistently does the wrong thing, and I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the box.
Frickin they need to burn that shit down. This is all I have right now, and I am not even a Brewers guy, I have nothing. I can't do. I'm out in Brewers gear. What because this is, this is all I have I can't support the bucks right now. They look awful they look like they may be a playing team college sports are dead. You saw this thing with the Texas quarterback where he's getting offered a first round pick salary to come back next year, like college sports, they're done in my eyes. What do I have left man. If I don't have like, you know, fun sports to enjoy. I got nothing.
You gotta, you gotta help me here Bart talk me off the leg. Well, um, daredevils coming back with a new season in March. Captain America's next month. Excited for that. Thunderbolts on the way this year. I might try to dabble into the James Gunn version of the DC Universe.
Fire up some creature commandos see what that's all about. So, so that can keep you going. Let me ask you a question. Yeah, it's just a random off topic question.
And I don't mean it to be insulting or anything, this is just like a sign of the times. Do you know the last like movie or television show you watch that was like an original programming, not a reboot, not a sequel, not like a prequel a remake, anything like that that wasn't based on an original IP. Severance was that severance is coming back in two weeks with severance Apple TV plus.
But it is crazy if you think about like all like the Adam Scott's in it they go Ben Stiller produces it. It's when you go to work, like work sucks so when you go to work, your brain. When your work, you don't know what happened when you're at work you don't know what how you got there.
And then when you leave, you don't experience work you just go into the building and leave. But then there's a work you and the work thems are being like wait wait a minute, what is it exactly that we do here. And it's become very interesting. Sounds like one of those things that's like better when you see it then it's like hard to explain it.
Yeah, I mean it takes a little bit to build which people sometimes get mad about. I got some things to read. Matt Leflore said he's extremely disappointed with the loss it was kind of a sloppy game had too many miscues. Did he say the game was merely on me. There you go.
Waiting for it starts with me guys. I'm disappointed I put the team in that situation. He said that he said something about being indecisive. And I'm disappointed I put the team in that situation at the end of the game just being indecisive it came back to burn us. Maybe Matt Leflore is one of these guys that like in the records been good and we've gone through a quarterback change we're getting a new team president and we've been so focused on the special teams and the defensive coordinator that maybe if we step back a little further. Like I wonder, I wonder how people will know I think people outside that aren't Packer fans would look at our record and say, Matt Leflore is great just like how you think the Steelers have this great head coach, but then they'll tell you know this fucking guy can't win in the playoffs he hasn't won in the playoffs since 2016.
He can't do shit Mike Tomlin is no good we want him out of here. So maybe it's maybe it's like I'm sorry three and a half point underdog against Philadelphia. Oh God take Philly all day free money. Here's a tweet from Pat Heffling he says, Remember when the Packers inexplicably found themselves in the 2016 NFC Championship game against Atlanta and got smoked 44 to 21 if not your memory will be refreshed when they play Philadelphia this weekend hashtag NFL playoffs. No, no, I mean I don't expect a win I think that I think last year's Philly team we would go and beat but this year was say Quan and apparently like they like Nick Sirianni now. Well, do you remember that what he's referencing everybody bought into that Packers team because of one catchphrase.
Yeah, like if you are LAX. Yeah, if you could attach a catchphrase to something, people will just buy it forever, like, PJ Tucker, the whole we dogs we dogs like people bought into that and just completely ignored the fact that he sucked donkey balls while he was in Milwaukee, like on the floor he was awful, but he said we dogs so he's like revered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin now. And because he got drunk at a parade so that was that was fun for people. Well that was pretty cool he was at Trinity. That's cool.
Hey, I was really cool and I was like 22 then. Jake good to talk to you I'm gonna stick around for a few minutes. I love you buddy. And then watch these afternoon games that's hot take Jake, again, the big news promo code Bart 36% off their wildcard weekend at everything and happy plays hemp.com.
I'm not optimistic about the game against Philadelphia. I did YouTube this podcast I titled this packer fans I rate after bear snap losing streak not exactly sure where to place anger, however, because I do think a lot of us are mad. I had a buddy text me he says a sports guy.
A sports guy. Should I be as pissed off as I am about this shit. And I said to him now. Well, the floor is being a boner that part sucks. It makes more sense to be mad about the execution and the result. I don't think the seating matters all these teams can beat us no game is going to be easy. Plus we got to lose to the bears sometime, and today is about as low stakes as it can get. Now I don't like that they lost to the bears, but it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would.
We are one in five in the division. It is sort of different to lose to a team that were better than in the standings. We did just lose to the Vikings last week. So we're going into the playoffs on a two game losing streak. Last time we saw this team play well was the week before Christmas.
When they beat up on the Saints and that was more of the Saints ineptitude. So I mean, this is this is the old thing where we're going to see. We're going to see does momentum matter.
I think it serves the fans better than the players. But I mean, I'm not saying that it's not real. I think momentum is real, but I also think that there is a stop and a start to this. The season is over. It is done. The season is done. The Packers are the seventh seed in a new tournament. That's something when they call the playoffs a tournament. That's something you probably think I wouldn't like, but I do because it is. They call it and the college football playoff is an invitational.
I want to be clear about that. Man, I don't want Ohio State to win. I guess I'm rooting for Texas to win the whole thing. I don't want Penn State.
Notre Dame maybe for Harvey. I don't know. But it's over. And so. I don't think like to be upset about it doesn't matter. We are where we are and it starts new.
But again, like I said, with the process. Are we not going to win the Super Bowl? I don't think we're a Super Bowl team.
Okay, so why? Why don't I think we're a Super Bowl team? Because the players aren't good enough? Because the quarterback's not good enough to win a Super Bowl? Is that what I think? Because the defense isn't good enough?
I'm trying to figure out what it is that I think. Why don't I think we're a Super Bowl team? Because Jair's not going to be with us? Because Matt Lafleur?
I don't know. I mean, there's been plenty of times where. Like I've been on that Lafleur roller coaster for a long time. Been on the Lafleur roller coaster for a long time where I don't like the process how they hired him.
He did seem to be like the last desperate choice. He got hired. He had to manage Rogers. Now he can coach this team. And still some of the decision making. And this is the thing that I clown NFL coaches the most. And I'm not like.
Say the line Bart. These guys have to play Madden. They have to put themselves at least in the situation to experience it. It's like drive a car. I'm basically saying before you drive a car.
Go to a video game and go to an arcade and do one of the video game things. Does it help? Yeah. Before you drive a car, I think it probably helps. Other than just sitting behind the wheel and be like. You know, you learn the break, learn the motion. I mean, it's different.
The little arcade over Bayshore than. Then a real vehicle. But goodness sakes. At least put yourself in a situation where you're thinking, what I call a time out here.
Do how much time do I need? How do I take this thing down? I was playing some Madden last night. Traded for Braylon Allen. I'm the Giants. Year two of a franchise. Ended up simming the year after I went one and five, but traded for Braylon Allen. Can't do number zero in Madden, at least in the PS4.
I'm still a bitch. So I change him to twenty three for the highway that goes through Fond du Lac. Johnson Street. Thought about forty one, but. Forty one shared by a lot.
Twenty three. That's us. That's Plymouth. That's Sheboygan. That's Ripon. That's Rosendale. You know, that's that's those cities. Princeton. Montello.
Go to Highway 23. Braylon Allen and the boys. Maybe I'll fire up that game.
These games are kind of losing my interest. The Broncos kicking the shit out of the Chiefs. I thought that I put American dollars on Carson Wentz and American dollars on Aaron Rodgers. Green Lake, Dave.
Yes. Green Lake. I had a real, real nice win on DraftKings. Seven hundred bucks on a showdown.
I gave it all back in a week. Because I thought if I just win one more. Bar slots got me the other night. Online slots. This one simple trick will save you thousands of dollars. Don't gamble. You know what else will save you money? The promo code BORT. Thirty six percent off through next week.
Wildcard weekend at Happy Place Hemp dot com. So it's going to be Philly. Oh, Roger scored, you're telling me? I always knew. All you guys are doubting him.
I always believed in him and quit thinking about like the kind of guy he is off the field. He's just trying to be him. You know, he's just living his best life. Is that is that so wrong for anybody to do? That's so wrong. Can't can't can we give people the space? I mean, can't can't can't we all admire caterpillars turning into butterflies?
At the age of 40, like we do at the age of five, there's some simplistic simplicity in that. All right. Well, again this week.
Infinity Sports Network nine p to one a. We welcome Rich Eisen to the family and the Odyssey app. So that's very exciting stuff. And old male got fired. Shut up.
Wow. The handpicked successor to Bill Belichick. So they want Vrabel. They're going to hire Vrabel.
So Lovey Smith. Got fired after he won his last game for the Texans. That cost him the number one pick.
Gerard Mayo. Getting fired. After losing or winning the game that cost them the number one pick. Titans, Browns, Giants, Patriots, Jacksonville will be the top five. And don't forget that draft will be in Green Bay Packers currently slated to have the 24th pick in the draft where I believe math might be wrong. But I believe I have the Packers pick the 24 a record 13 years in a row.
I feel like they have. All right. Thanks for sharing a little bit of your time with me. Be sure to like and subscribe. I just realized that you can comment on Spotify. I went back and looked at a lot of comments, most of them pleasant.
Some very not much so. But I think that helps in some way. I don't fucking know how any of this shit works. I'm just glad that you're here. Thanks for stopping into the Winklerverse. Go pack, go.
Hope we can do a few more of these. I would not bet on it. And if I wouldn't bet on it. Well, then, I'm probably wrong. I've been getting wrong a lot lately. Go pack, go.
