We start this split squad edition talking about the complete domination of the Packers in Dallas during the NFL's Wild Card Weekend. Green Bay whoops the Cowboys from "pillar to post" as Gorilla Monsoon would have said in the old school WWF days. Jordan Love was masterful. Matt LaFleur had the offense clicking.

Don't look now but the Bears are on a winning streak and they could face a dilemma with the #1 pick. The Packers throw up a stinker on the road against the Giants and now are 6-7 w/four games left. Week 14 results, standings and Week 15 matchups. The college football playoff committee had its work cut out for them. Did they make the right call?

Tell your friends.
Back to back weeks with some sports content on the Intentional Foul...although it's secondary to our movie nerdness to close things out. Not much happening in the NFL with offseason minicamps going on before a break for the summer. Again with the question of whether Jordan Love is any good... Some Bucks and NBA Finals chatter. The Brewers reached the low point of their season this past weekend. A fulfilled request about the PGA/LIV golf merger. Plus a high school summer basketball tournament in town and a Janesville athlete is going to play division 1 college football. But for the finale...we break down our favorite actors and actresses who have gone through a streak of years producing can't-miss movies. A pretty good list put together but each of us. All that and more on this episode! Tell your friends.
Only took a month....but we're back with another off-script episode of the Intentional Foul. We keep it simple... Packers in OTAs and why do we need to decide whether Jordan Love is good right now? Aaron Rodgers actually attending offseason things for the Jets and oh yeah he wanted Brian Gutekunst fired. The Bears in OTAs and maybe they're moving to....Naperville? The NBA playoffs/Finals plus the Bucks new head coach and a midseason tournament? The Brewers lead the league in players on the injured list but keep winning games. Badger football and basketball recruiting. Some high school spring sports. All that and more for the next hour. Tell your friends.
Another off-script version of the Intentional Foul this week! We start with the NFL Draft from a couple weeks ago and break down the Bears and Packers picks. Green Bay has Jordan Love on a two-year experiment, essentially. The Bucks are done with the playoffs going out in horrendous fashion...and Mike Budenholzer pays the price. Who's next and what's the roster gonna look like? And not much to report on the Brewers other than...who's going to be on the radio and TV broadcasts from game to game?! Who knows!! But why?! All that and more coming up on this hour-plus edition. Tell your friends.
It's NFL Draft time! On this edition of the Intentional Foul we'll touch base with our Bears expect Lorin Cox and talk a bit about Chicago's strategy pre-draft and going into the three-day event. Aaron Rodgers is a Jet and apparently has bad cell reception in his house. The Bucks are a game away from elimination in the first round of the playoffs. Will coach Bud still have his job if they get knocked out? Maybe a curse of new ownership... The Brewers have cooled off after a hot start and everybody is starting to get hurt! The bullpen could be a liability this season as well. We'll be at AmFam Field on Saturday! All that ahead on this episode! Tell your friends.
No rundown for this edition of the Intentional Foul so we're going off-script! The NFL draft is just over a week away and nothing between the Packers/Jets concerning Aaron Rodgers.

All that and more coming up in this edition! Tell your friends.
We start out this episode talking mock drafts with the NFL's approaching in a few weeks. Is there ANY legitimacy to them whatsoever?! Quiet time in the NFL at the moment. The Bucks wrapped up the top overall seed in the NBA playoff race last night with a win over the Bulls. The way the MVP is awarded is stupid. They have a new CBA as well. A lackluster wrap to a lackluster men's NCAA tournament while the women's tourney raked in the ratings. Iowa vs LSU smack talk showdown. The Brewers have been crushing since the Opening Day loss. Corbin Burnes has been roughed up twice. New rules...like 'em? All that and more on a pitch clock shortened version of the Intentional Foul this week! Tell your friends.
Finally back after a few weeks with another episode of the Intentional Foul....and we missed a lot. The new Jordan show movie plus a huge switch in brand loyalty kicks things off...and goes right into Aaron Rodgers vs Brian Gutekunst....who's telling the truth?! Is Greg Jennings vindicated now? Round two: Lamar Jackson vs the Baltimore Ravens. The Bucks have a little less wiggle room after getting blow out last night...but they're still the top seed in the East with a few games to play. NCAA tournament time: do you like the teams in the final four that have lower seeds? Or do you want the top teams in it every year? The Badgers bow out of the NIT and could be active in the transfer portal (incoming AND outgoing). And it was Opening Day around Major League Baseball...with the Brewers the offense again could be a problem while the starting rotation will be strong. All this and more coming up on this edition! Tell your friends.
It's tournament time on this edition of the Intentional Foul! But before we get to the madness, first it's NFL free agency and dramatics in Green Bay. The Bears trade their #1 draft pick for a boatload of picks and a player...then use their $72 million in salary cap to add a couple linebackers plus an offensive and defensive lineman. Is Aaron Rodgers going to the Jets? He's got a wish list and they already checked Allen Lazard off of it. The Bucks try to win their west coast road trip coming off a win and fight in Sacramento. The Badgers are in the NIT while Marquette wins both the Big East conference regular season and tournament. Bracket breakdowns!

In the NBA, the Bucks have the best record in the East after catching the Celtics and rattling off 16 wins in a row. Dan has plenty of news from around the league. In college hoops, we know now that the Badgers are one and done in the Big Ten Tournament, capping a lackluster season.

Mock drafts! The Bucks are inching closer to the all-star break and are right near the top of the Eastern Conference. Tons of trades made before the deadline and some big names get shipped. Lebron breaks a record. In college hoops, Wisconsin might not make the NCAA tournament without a late run and Marquette is on top of the Big East after being picked to finish 9th in a preseason poll. In baseball, the extra-innings-runner-on-2nd is here to stay plus bases are now the "size of pizza boxes." High school hoops: girls brackets are released and some weird stuff shakes out while the boys brackets are this Sunday. All that and more coming up on this episode of the Intentional Foul. Tell your friends.
The Super Bowl participants are set with the Eagles and Chiefs winning their respective conference title games. What do the Niners do at QB now? Bad officiating in both games. The Bucks are getting healthier (kind of) while opponents are getting hurt more. Is Jae Crowder going to be acquired before the trade deadline? LeBron throws a giant tantrum. Marquette is tied atop the Big East and Dan goes off on the state of the Badgers program saying that it is time for a change in Madison...kinda like the football program. RIP Billy Packer. Baseball's Hall of Good. Some high school hoops in our 7th year calling games. And we're down to three finalists for the UW Whitewater head coach position. All that and more in close to 90 minutes! Tell your friends.
Back after a week off with another near-90 minute episode! First off, a new poll came out with the top 20 best video games of all time...and the list is not great. Next, the divisional round of the NFL playoffs weren't spectacular: no lead changes, a big injury, a blowout and a hilarious last play from Dak/McCarthy. The Bucks haven't been great but everybody's been hurt. Shannon Sharpe goes berserk courtside defending LeBron. College hoops: Wisconsin is scuffling while Marquette is rising. A signing by the Brewers and a former player/exec passes away. The high school hoops sectional groups for the Craig/Parker boys/girls are...not great. And finally, the big question: if you could go back and change the outcome of one sporting event...what would it be? Send us YOUR answer on Facebook or Twitter. All that on this edition of the Intentional Foul. Tell your friends.
The end has come...the Packers and Bears respective seasons are over...and the NFL playoffs start this weekend. Chicago sits Justin Fields and gets the #1 pick in the draft thanks to a loss to Minnesota. Green Bay blows its chance...at home...in a must-win game...against a division opponent that only had a spoiler role. A couple fits of stupidity also factor in. Week 18 results and the playoff picture starting this Saturday. The NCAA football title game was terrible. The Badgers continue to pick up transfers out of the portal and somehow are loaded at QB. The Bucks embark on a 4-game road trip and start with a win. Tyler Wahl gets hurt and Bucky hoops loses to Illinois. Marquette has been on a role and now has a tough stretch. Plus a little high school hoops talk to wrap it up about...officiating! Tune in for that and a lot more on this edition of the Intentional Foul! Tell your friends.
On this week's episode of the Intentional Foul... There's a lot left to be decided heading into the final week of the NFL regular season...including what's going to happen with the Bills/Bengals game that was stopped as a player's life hangs in the balance. Bears get whooped and should play for the #1 pick in the draft...but will they? Packers stomp the Vikings...but is Green Bay suddenly good, or is Minnesota a fraud? Standings and scenarios heading into week 18. Awesome college football playoff semifinals, and the Badgers suddenly have a wealth of quarterback talent starting next season. The Bucks haven't been spectacular as of late (but did get a win after we signed off). Wisconsin and Marquette college hoops teams are having better-than-expected seasons.

All that and more coming up over the next 90 minutes on the Intentional Foul! Tell your friends.
Who would have thought things are trending in opposite direction for the Packers and the Bears...but that's exactly what's going on...and the teams have identical records. That's how we kick off this week's edition of the Intentional Foul. We'll run through both games and where the teams are at, whether there's TOO much parity in the league, wrap up this past week's results and give a snapshot of this coming week's list of games. A minor glimpse at the Badgers beating Purdue. Baseball is making fans wait way too long for a World Series...and it's a matchup nobody will pay attention to outside of the home markets. The Bucks are off to a decent start this season. The UW-Whitewater football team underperformed and lost its first conference game last Saturday. And for the high school sports fans...the WIAA has a problem with its seeding of the Milwaukee co-op schools in basketball and now in football. All that and more coming in the next 90+ minutes. Tell your friends.
Two embarrassing performances by the Bears and Packers as we kick off another edition of the Intentional Foul this week. Chicago's challenges continue while Green Bay could be in some trouble. Week 6 results (weird) and week 7 previews (not good). The Badgers lose again and the program also could be in trouble (i.e. offense ineffectiveness, players entering transfer portal). Baseball playoffs...nobody to root for in the AL now, while the NL matchup is fun. The NBA season is getting underway and Dan's favorite TNT crew will be around for a bit. And the high school football playoff start this week while UWW football set an attendance record this past Friday night. All that and more coming up on this week's episode! Tell your friends.
After an inconsistent start to our NFL season...it's the longest edition of the Intentional Foul to date! Sit back, relax and strap in for almost two of hours of....us! Packers look like crap against the Giants overseas while the Bears still look like crap...although signs of life from Justin Fields. Results and previews from last week and this week. Who's good...who's bad....? A discussion about concussions and why people don't watch the NFL anymore. What does the future of the Wisconsin Badgers football program look like...? Brewers season is over: a recap. Bucks are getting ready for the start of the regular season in a week. Plus there's a new way to unveil the high school football playoff field. UW-Whitewater keeps winning on the gridiron and we're starting to put together our basketball schedule. All that and more in a super-sized edition coming right up! Tell your friends.
An unplanned week off due to illness has a jam-packed 90 minutes worth of content on this week's episode of the Intentional Foul. We start all the way back to two weeks ago and some final thoughts on Packers/Bears before jumping back into this past weekend's matchups...couple upsets in there and a lot of injuries as well. Also: Brett Favre might not be a great guy. Week 4 has some highlighted games towards the back end of the schedule. In college football, the Badgers get embarrassed and maybe a whole philosophical overhaul for the program is needed...but could/would it happen...? Brewers are hanging on for dear life in the race for the postseason as the home stretch of the season has started. The Bucks had media day Sunday...who knew?! And the preseason begins this weekend. Plus the high school football season has only three weeks left, but the conference schedule is just beginning for UW-Whitewater. All that and more crammed into this week's episode. Thanks for listening. Tell your friends.
Aaaaaaaaaaand we're off and running with the 2022 NFL season! Coming up on this edition, the Bears pull one out in the monsoon while the Packers look completely overmatched. Week 1 results and week 2 previews. The Badgers are one of many Power 5 teams to go down despite being heavy favorites. Baseball has some rule changes coming next season. Plus a strange ending to the Craig/Parker football game and a spectacular ending to the UW-Whitewater/Mary Hardin-Baylor contest. All that and more coming up on the Intentional Foul! Tell your friends.
Not the way we wanted to start off the NFL season...but people around Josh keep getting Covid...maybe he's to blame?! So out of an abundance of caution, he's on the phone with Dan, who is originating from Studio B for this edition of the Intentional Foul. It's game time! For games that count! We give you a rundown of the Bears and Packers heading into the season plus every week 1 matchup and our picks for the divisions, playoffs and Super Bowl. Brewers notes including another (former) player that has some interesting language concerning management. A tad bit of NBA stuff...but a solid bit of high school football and UW-Whitewater material from this past weekend. All coming up on this episode! Hopefully back in studio next week. Tell your friends.
Football is back as of next week and so is the weekly (hopefully) edition of the Intentional Foul! Preseason is finished...Jordan Love looks serviceable for GB in case Aaron Rodgers has a booboo. Rodgers also spent three hours with Joe Rogan. Dan says the Bears shouldn't as bad as some people think they could be. Some other NFL notes before afternoon cuts Tuesday afternoon. 11 college football games this past Saturday and Nebraska continues to impress...not. The Badgers will have a backup QB with zero game experience when the season opens vs Illinois State. The Brewers have fallen off since the Hader trade...and so has Hader. Milwaukee six games out of the division and a game and a half of the final wild card spot. Some NBA notes with Giannis playing overseas. Plus some loyal listener feedback! We need to bring back some semblance of a top 5 and talk more local high school sports. Done and done! All that and more this week on the Intentional Foul! Tell your friends.
We start this edition of the Intentional Foul by going through all-time great MLB closer entrances from the bullpen...and Dan drops a doozy...in light of NY Mets hurler Edwin Diaz grabbing attention with "Narco." (look it up on Youtube) After that, it's preseason games #1 for the Packers and Bears...nothing extraordinary there. Badgers are ranked in the high teens for the first AP poll. The Brewers could be entering make-or-break territory the next few series. Dan has a recommendation for baseball fans. Plus news that's not news from Giannis and a few other NBA tidbits. All that and more on this episode! Tell your friends.
Football is back! And so is another edition of the Intentional Foul. After some Food Talk to open things up, it's NFL time. Some bits from Bears and Packers camps plus news from around the league. This year's QB Tiers as well. The trade deadline has passed in Major League Baseball and the reviews for the Brewers are, overall, not positive. Couple of high profile deaths in the sports world as well. And a "who would you have dinner with" list...alive and dead editions...will wrap things up. All that and more this go-around on the Intentional Foul. Tell your friends.
At the behest of listener Tom...we're back with another edition of the Intentional Foul...right smack dab in the most boring part of the sports calendar. It's baseball and some golf...but the NBA is dormant and NFL training camps are still two weeks away. Not to mention college is on a break...even though a huge story broke at the tail end of last week. So a lot to go over from the past couple weeks. In the NFL, Baker Mayfield has a new home. The Bucks take a G League guy with their 1st round pick and do some signing/re-signing. The NBA goes bonkers handing out a stupid amount of money in contracts. The Brewers are in somehow still in first despite looking like a very average baseball team, plus they have a couple All-Stars. And finally the winds made a colossal shift in the NCAA conference realignment with USC and UCLA bolting the PAC-12 for the Big Ten. All that and more coming up on this episode of the Intentional Foul! Tell your friends.
It's been over a month since our last episode of the Intentional Foul...and surprisingly...we didn't miss much! The high school athletic season came to a close with a local team winning a state baseball championship. Some chatter about a successful Red Hawks calendar year plus what it's like up at state no matter the sport. All the NFL offseason workouts have finished and now it's a month until training camp. Rodgers, Hicks, Watson...all those players have been in the news...plus huge broadcast team musical chairs. The Golden State Warriors have wrapped up the NBA title...some final thoughts about the foul/flop-fest and heading into the offseason that starts with the draft Thursday. The Brewers are still atop/near the top of the division after a no-so-great last month. Injuries have piled up. And it's a steel cage match between the LIV and the PGA. Plus a college sports general manager?! A loaded Intentional Foul before another week off! Tell your friends.
Apologies for last week's slow dispersal to Apple podcasts...so we'll try it again with this week's episode of The Intentional Foul! No rundown and this time around we just start in on the most recent unpleasantness: the Bucks elimination by the Celtics from Sunday night...a recap of the series, the players, the officials and what Milwaukee could do this offseason. The Packers are paying Jaire Alexander the most money in the league at corner. The NFL released its schedule last week...so how about a week-to-week mini breakdown?! Also some Brewers discussion while people are aboard the series-to-series rollercoaster. All that and a broken patio chair coming up on this edition! Tell your friends.
It's been a couple of weeks since our last episode of the Intentional Foul but we're back and under a deadline to get things done before tip-off of the Bucks/Celtics, game 4! After some scintillating frozen pizza dialogue, it's NFL Draft time...which seems like a decade ago. Packers and Bears recaps and thoughts. The NBA playoffs are in full swing including the Milwaukee/Boston series. Some terrible officiating and hard fouls in almost every series as well plus some fan harassment. The Brewers have beaten up on the crappy teams but have struggled against decent clubs/pitching. Luckily the whole division stinks! Some good/bad evaluations just over a month into the season as well. All that....and not much more (pretty basic this week)...coming up on this edition of The Intentional Foul. Tell your friends.
It's nerd time for half of the Intentional Foul hosts because it's NFL Draft week! Take a guess which member is really geeking out? It won't be hard. And that's what we lead off with...the Packers with four picks in the first two rounds (11 overall) and the Bears with only a half dozen. Plus they won't select until 39th overall. So much uncertainty pertaining to this year's draft that nobody can agree on anything. Maybe some trades. Maybe some surprises. But definitely some reaches! First round starts Thursday night. The Bucks are a win away from advancing to the 2nd round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. All the other series are close to over as well. The Brewers offense continues to struggle...but they're in first in the NL Central! A closer examination of umpiring/officiating and also a bit on fan interaction...including an idea that sounds...tantalizing. All that and more coming up on this edition! Tell your friends.
After a few weeks, one vacation and an illness apiece, we're back with another edition of the Intentional Foul! A LOT of loose ends to tie up after dusting off the gear in Studio B. Some quick hits in the NFL about the draft, the Packers grab a veteran receiver and the there's a new golf matchup featuring the best QBs in the NFL. It's playoff time in the NBA with the Bucks nabbing the three seed and an opening round matchup with the Bulls. Plus all the other matchups after the play-in "tournament." The Brewers are off to a mediocre start: good pitching and not much run production. And finally putting a bow on the NCAA hoops season with the tournament and some transfer portal/draft declaration news from the Badgers and Marquette. All that and more coming up as we return with another episode of the Intentional Foul! Tell your friends.
It's a supercharged bracket bustin' episode of the Intentional Foul this week! We'll go through all the first and second round action of this year's NCAA tournament including the worst losses, awful officiating and never-ending replays at the ends of games. But we'll start, as always, with the NFL: Davante Adams gets traded allowing the Packers to re-sign some guys, the Bears lose their DT before he's signed, and a ton of offseason quarterback movement. A healthy Bucks team is looking to shore up a decent playoff spot with a few weeks left in the season. The Wisconsin/Marquette basketball seasons are kaput. A few baseball notes. And wrapping up with some high school basketball stuff including a decent rant about the number of kids recognized as all-conference/all-state performers...and why that's an issue. All that and more coming up on this edition. Tell your friends.
A little behind-the-scenes tour followed by a video game beatdown is how this episode of the Intentional Foul kicks off! And just like Selection Sunday, its hijacked by Tom Brady. Just one piece of plenty of NFL stories from the start of the negotiating window before the new league year kicks off. Aaron Rodgers gets paid. DeVondre Campbell is back. So is Preston Smith. But how much are these contracts ACTUALLY worth...? The Bears trade Khalil Mack, cut Eddie Goldman and sign Larry Ogunjobi. Plus some other league news. The Bucks get a couple players back and get a win in Utah for the first time in 20+ years. The Badgers and Marquette lose their first games in their respective conference tournaments. A little bracket talk. Baseball returns and the Brewers have made a couple signings. Plus a sports broadcasting story that is both stupid and sad to wrap things up. All that and more coming up on this edition. C'mon and tell your friends.
Took a week off with no football news and depressing baseball negotiations...well some big changes in that first part and nothing really new in the second on this edition of the Intentional Foul! Rodgers says he's coming back and the deal might not be crazy. Davante is tagged, Russell Wilson has a new team and gambling on your own sport is a no-no. The Bucks have been solid while the Bulls might be posers. It's conference tournament time in college hoops with some teams already getting automatic bids. The Badgers get the 2-seed in the B1G tourney plus some player/coach accolades. Marquette has the 5-seed in the Big East tournament. Baseball is already into its second-longest work stoppage in history...and both sides are tone-deaf. Plus a couple of high school athletic notes...referees cover your ears, and let's just hand out awards to everyone. All that and more coming up on this episode! Tell your friends.
Back in Studio B for another episode...traversing an icy, snowy landscape complete with...kids riding their bikes outside for some reason.

The 75th Anniversary players show up with all the feels. Juwan vs Gard after the Badgers beat Michigan: the breakdown. Wisconsin has four games left. Marquette goes from hot to cold-ish. Updated bracketology. And Major League Baseball is not giving people too much to be optimistic about despite negotiating the last few days. And for some reason we've tried dog biscuits/food. All that and more coming up on the Intentional Foul! Tell your friends.
Every team's pitchers and catchers would have reported for spring training by now...but who knows when that's actually going to happen, so a little baseball talk out of the gate on this edition of the Intentional Foul. Super Bowl number something wraps the NFL season and now it's onto free agency and the draft...but Dan needs the break. Is Matt Stafford a Hall of Famer right now? Aaron Rodgers win the MVP and has another failed relationship. The Bucks have a successful road trip, are active before the trade deadline and are on a homestand. Couple of other open roster spots as injuries continue to bite them. The Badgers lose to Rutgers but beat Indiana...still in contention for the conference title.

All that and more coming up on this episode! Tell your friends.
It's the Super Bowl edition of the Intentional Foul and before the talk about the big game...how about story time with Josh recanting how he got pulled over on the way to a high school basketball broadcast going through Cottage Grove...for going 1mph over the speed limit. Just a warning though. Then it's Rams/Bengals and some commercials. Bears and Packers fill their coaching staffs plus no more NFL head coaching vacancies left. The Bucks are doing well on their west coast road trip and could be looking to trade before the deadline. Badgers and Marquette are both in the top 25 and looking at decent seeds in the Big Dance if things hold. Oh, and Rickie Weeks is a Milwaukee Brewer again. All that and more on this episode! When you're at your Super Bowl party on Sunday shootin the breeze...tell your friends about us.
Back in Studio B for this latest episode and Josh leads off with a question about bathroom protocol when you're all alone in a house. Because why not lead off with that? Then it's onto sports things.

Technology is utilized again in separate locations after Josh gave Dan his cold during some basketball road trips last week. It's reflection time after the Packers get bounced out of the playoffs thanks to shoddy special teams (shocking) and a conservative offense. What's next in GB? What's next for Rodgers? The Bears hire a new GM and is a new coach on the horizon? The Vikings have a new GM. And the Saints need a new head coach. Plus a really solid weekend of divisional games that went right down to the wire. The Bucks have been good at home, but bad on the road. The Badgers crack to the AP top 10 only to lose to Michigan State. Marquette has won a few, and keeps winning. And the Baseball Writer's Association of America piss on several Hall of Fame candidates but let Davis Ortiz pass. All that and more on this edition of the Intentional Foul! Hopefully back to full strength next week! Tell your friends.
Under the weather but Covid free, this edition of the Intentional Foul takes place with Josh at home not wanting to drag germs and/or viruses into Dan's house ahead of a few basketball games this week. So by phone it's all about the Bears search for their next coach/GM to start with...and then onto the Wild Card Weekend of the NFL playoffs. More teams and more games? How about more refs? Eeesh. The Packers made a weird move before their game against the Niners, too. Divisional round predictions ahead. The Bucks have hit a rough patch. The Badgers are legitimately good? Huh. Marquette has won some games and has a challenging road ahead. All that and more on this episode! Thanks for listening, and as always...tell your friends.
It's the NFL Playoff Preview edition of the Intentional Foul and Dan starts off by declaring that 18th week of the regular season wasn't necessary...and he didn't even watch his team! The Packers turned in a good first half against the Lions and the Bears blow a big lead and lose to the Vikings. Black Monday struck hard in Chicago and Minneapolis. Whatever direction the Bears WERE trending after that was blown up by their press conference. Wild Card Weekend is Saturday, Sunday and Monday. College football has a national champ. In college hoops the Badgers have been hot and Marquette starts a tough stretch. In the NBA the Bucks have hit a rough patch with a lot of players missing time. And also baseball doesn't appear any closer to reaching a new labor deal. All that and more coming up on this episode! Thanks for listening and tell your friends.

Unfortunately nothing spectacular was found from the 1987 Topps cards. Otherwise it's the memory game trying to recall what happened with the Packers and Bears games over Christmas weekend.

Dan's last two weeks of watching the Bears have been agonizing coupled with the misleading report of Matt Nagy's firing.

Coming up on this edition of the Intentional Foul, we recap all the games including the Packers getting destroyed by the Saints for plenty of reasons...but none of them should happen at the professional level.

THEN it's onto the National Football League. All the week 1 matchups and what they offer, plus division/playoff/Super Bowl predictions. A quick stop on the Brewers train to check in with the NL Central leaders after a pounding courtesy of the Phillies on Monday night. And finally, Dan brings forth a Top Five list idea. All that and more on this episode of the Intentional Foul. Kick-off is a day away, hurry up and tell your friends.
Last biweekly episode with college football starting up this week and the NFL starting up next week! Unless of course there's a catastrophe... On this episode: the Packers and Bears make the cuts to get down to 53 players...any surprises? Green Bay traded for a new punter, ending the JK Scott era. And David Bakhtiari is on the PUP list. Chicago can't figure out the WR position (among others). Oh and they have the league's OLDEST roster. Tarik Cohen also on the PUP list. Plus some other NFL notes. The Brewers lead their division by double digits and that margin might increase before its all said and done. Some pretty damn good matchups for the first full weekend of college football including a top ten slugfest. And finally...the nationally televised high school game featuring a school that might not be a school. All that and MORE coming up on this edition of the Intentional Foul. Tell your friends about us you crazy kids!
Counting down the weeks remaining until the NFL season kicks off...until then it's another bi-weekly edition of the Intentional Foul! Josh is off to his first high school coach interview so there's a little time crunch to get in some news and discussion about the first week of the NFL preseason with Jordan Love and a whole bunch of rookies taking their first snaps. Also on this episode: no rookie left tackle for the Bears this season, Dak Prescott might not get any snaps before the start of the season, and Tim Tebow continues to not be a football player. Plus the Brewers dominance in the NL Central continues with an impressive current road trip and contributions from unlikely sources. Who's the best starter of Milwaukee's big three? In the NBA, a partial schedule has been released: the Bucks open the season with a tough opponent the night they get their rings and Milwaukee plays on Christmas against the Celtics. We wrap with some high school stuff about other states instituting a shot clock...making Wisconsin behind the times. All that and more coming up on this episode! Tell your friends to give us a listen.
A staring contest between Josh and Dan's dog, Uecker, precedes when the mics go hot before this episode of the Intentional Foul. A lot has happened in the two weeks since the last edition. It starts with the Packers and the drama-filled offseason between the team and its quarterback. Is Cobb that big of an impact...? In Bears camp: Tarik Cohen won't see the field for awhile yet, Anthony Miller is traded and maybe Nick Foles is next? In baseball, the Brewers are still on top of the division...mindblowingly...despite the team getting hit with Covid positives left and right. They did make some moves before the trade deadline. Dan also loves the dismantling of the Cubs. In the NBA, the Bucks keep Bobby Portis and say so long to PJ Tucker. There were some other notable signings as well. Former Badger basketballer Alando Tucker seems like he's a real piece of work. College football starts soon and the SEC is looking at world domination. All that AND more on this upcoming episode! Spread the word: tell your friends.
It's the NBA Championship Edition of the Intentional Foul this time around! The Bucks have done it, winning on Tuesday night, causing tears in the eyes of grown men and fans of the team. And rightfully so. Dan breaks down how the team got there, what it took to win and what it means going forward and how it stacks up in history. Brief musings on the Brewers after an abysmal showing against the Royals....again, and the White Sox looming this weekend. Maybe a move before the trade deadline? Also some NFL quick hitters with training camps getting underway this week and next. And Dan drops an absolutely amazing Top Ranked List...straight to nerd central and beyond...but it's fantastic. All THAT and more on this episode. C'mon! Tell your friends! They'll love us!
After a week off thanks to Dan being on the brink due to the Giannis injury and a Bucks loss, we're back with another episode before Game 1 of the NBA Finals! Quite the turnaround. In this episode: the recap of the Hawks series plus a preview of the matchup with the Suns. Dan also runs down how hard it is for a small market team to get this far and exactly how many superstars get rings. Of course the national media isn't buying the Bucks, as expected. Oh and the Brewers only have the largest lead in any division in baseball....until Dan gives them the kiss of death. Three pitchers also make the All-Star team for the NL. Some Rodgers/DeChambeau vs Brady/Phil talk and a tidbit on the Olympics. All that and more in the next hour-plus! C'mon and tell your friends to give us a try!
Back with another episode from Studio B albeit on the early side since Dan needs full focus and attention on the opening of the Eastern Conference finals between the Bucks and the Hawks. He breaks down the series victory by Milwaukee over Brooklyn and then gives a preview about the upcoming best-of-seven against Atlanta. Also, Kevin Durant is good. Are the Bears moving from downtown and out to Arlington in place of the racetrack owned by Churchill Downs? The Brewers continue to get hammered with injuries yet maintain a spot atop the NL Central. And finally...it's Gard-gate with the UW men's basketball team: audio of a team meeting goes public, who did it and do the players come off a little whiny? All that and more on this edition of the Intentional Foul! Tell your friends.
Our first in-studio episode in damn near two months! And in a shocking development...we start with...the NBA! At the time of this taping, the Bucks were heading into game six of the Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Nets. Dan has all kinds of ruminations concerning the team and most of them are...shockingly...not positive! Of course there's Packers/Rodgers/Murphy chatter and the "I'm Offended" shirts are on sale now! Justin Fields can't possibly win the starting QB job for the Bears. And the Brewers are/were tied for the NL Central lead...and nobody knows how that's possible. All that and more coming up on this edition of the Intentional Foul! C'mon and tell your friends to give us a listen!
After a month between episodes, the fellas come back to a lot that's been going on. In Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers has now officially no-showed for the Packers entire offseason. Is this thing gonna get resolved? Josh doesn't want to hear a former player/teammate's opinion. Justin Fields may start sooner than later in Chicago as well. Dan says the series between the Bucks and Net is over despite Brooklyn being without James Harden. What does the future hold for the team? And are big dudes in the NBA no longer a good bet to be a team's best player? The Brewers have been on a tear and at the top of the division thanks to stellar pitching. Somehow injuries haven't stopped the bats either. Finally, Wisconsin has a new athletic director....and not shockingly...it's a former football player who played under Barry Alvarez. All that and more coming up in the next hour-plus! Good to be back. And since that haven't heard it in awhile from you: tell your friends.
Things are so insane in the NFL's smallest market that it could be the basis for a new terrible reality show! On this episode of the Intentional Foul, Dan and Josh dive deep into the muckiest, filthiest game of "Telephone" there is....right after they talk some NFL Draft! The Bears traded up twice and got a couple good cornerstones while the Packers had a very non-flashy draft but addressed quite a few needs. The Brewers injury list is longer than.....it's long. How long can the team keep it up? And the Bucks have dominated the teams above the in the East as of late. Now it's a final push towards the postseason. All that and more coming up on this edition! Tell your friends, you know you want to.
Eatin' pancakes and trading away first round picks! It's the NFL Draft and its this week! But according to Dan...it's no sporting event. That's how this week's episode of the Intentional Foul kicks off. Josh is fuzzy on the Packers needs with little to no prep like in years past. Hopefully there's no trade down. We welcome Lorin Cox from the Locked On Bears podcast to run down what Chicago might do with.....(gasp).....an actual first round pick! Some other NFL tidbits to follow. Plus, the Bucks are on a brutal stretch to close the season and the Brewers starting pitching continues to be spectacular while the hitting leaves something to be desired. All that and more coming up on this EARLY edition! And c'mon, do us a solid and tell your friends!
After a week off, the fellas are back with plenty to talk about. But not before Josh absolutely perplexes Dan with an startling admission about food. Also coming up on this episode: it's a week before the NFL Draft and what positions are Green Bay and Chicago likely to look at; the Brewers have an impressive list of walking wounded just over two weeks into the season and the starting pitching has been excellent; the Bucks look to finally be healthy after Giannis missed a half dozen games; in college hoops, Marquette looks to have a brand new team with so many incoming transfers and recruits plus Wisconsin has a couple new players and a familiar name returning; a little flashback to the Top Five as they tackle their favorite announcers. All that and more coming up on this edition. How's about you tell your friends to listen and subscribe?!
The boys are back as Josh searches for a decent frozen burger to put on the grill...which apparently doesn't exist. Also on this episode, Aaron Rodgers is hosting a game show while Ryan Pace talks up Andy Dalton. The Brewers look (not) shockingly like last year's team despite some attempts to upgrade several positions, and Orlando Arcia was traded for some reason... Politics is leaking more and more into sports as well. In the NBA the Bucks road trip is coming to a close and they sign Jrue Holiday to a hefty extension. Six weeks to the playoffs. The NCAA men's hoops title game was a snooze and there could be a new crop of coaches/schools that start to get consistently better. And finally Barry Alvarez will ride into the retirement sunset in a few months. All that and more coming up on this edition of the Intentional Foul. As always, we ask that you tell your friends about us!
Grab a bag of popcorn chicken and your favorite wing sauce, and you'll never have to buy overpriced boneless wings again! A nice food hack kicks off this edition of the Intentional Foul. The NFL somehow finds a way to take center stage thanks to expanding the regular season, a big draft pick swap this past weekend and more Deshaun Watson accusers. Plus, Opening Day in MLB is coming up Thursday....where's the excitement?! The Brewers are picking to compete for the division and we take a stab at their win total. In the NBA the Bucks are on a west coast swing, plus the trade deadline and some contract buyouts. And in college hoops, Marquette has a new coach and players are jumping ship in Madison. Bracket talk wraps up this episode. As always, we kindly and humbly ask that you tell your friends!
Doesn't sound like the different format for the NCAA tournament's first two rounds are a hit. We'll talk all things tourney and brackets coming on this episode. Also on the Intentional Foul this week...the Packers cut some salary and make a questionable re-signing, plus the Bears seem to be going the wrong direction but hey, at least GM Ryan Pace "tried." We're almost a week away from opening day and Dan takes a crack at the Brewers 2021 roster. In the NBA the Bucks are hot and the world seemed to ankle when Lebron rolled his ankle. Finally, some college hoops news: Marquette fires Wojo, the Badgers bow out of the tournament and there's been some serious upsets into the Sweet Sixteen. All that and more coming up on this edition. Help spread the word about our podcast and tell your friends!
A little Girl Scout cookie discussion kicks off this packed episode. Thin Mints? Shortbread? Peanut Butter Patties? What's your go-to? Turning to the sports side, how about NFL free agency?! Tons of deals and lots of money thrown around. The Bears have a quarterback. Kind of. The Packers give money to a running back and let an All Pro go. Plus a future Hall of Famer retires. The Bucks continue to play well out of the All Star break but a challenging three weeks is coming up. Not much to report on in spring training. And finally....college basketball! The Badgers can't beat Iowa. Marquette mercifully exits its season. Now it's tournament time! So how about some bracket talk?! All that and more coming up on this edition of the Intentional Foul! How about you do us a favor and tell your friends...? Happy Madness.
Why would NFL Draft preview mags be next to the nude mags on a rack at a local convenience store? This episode of the Intentional Foul kicks off with that observation as we dive into some....what's sure to be...pandemonium around the NFL over the next week, and it's just getting started with Dak and his deal with the Cowboys. Some other franchise tag news regarding the Packers and Bears too. The Bucks are coming off the All-Star break and Giannis' MVP performance. College hoops: Nostra-Dan-mus was right all along that the Badgers would be haunted by Brad Davison's BS. Both Wisconsin and Marquette head into conference tournament week. Plus a little Brewers talk down in Maryvale as spring training continues. And the winter high school sports season wraps up. All that and more on this edition. Thanks for listening, and tell your friends!
The temperature hit into the mid-40s so Josh cranked out the shorts with thoughts of spring and baseball ahead! Coming up on this episode the fellas start with some small ball and then circle back around to the Brewers towards the end. Also: some NFL notes including JJ Watt signing with...the Cardinals (??)...and catching flak for it; some divisional salary cap cost cutting moves; and get ready for a free agency bloodbath. The NBA All-Star break is almost here and the Bucks need it. March Madness is set to kick off in a few weeks and the Badgers will limp to the finish line of the regular season. Plus Marquette and some other Bracketology stuff. And finally Dan's JVL Craig Hoops Classics YouTube channel has its final upload. All that and more coming up on this edition of The Intentional Foul. Do us a solid and tell your friends.
After a week off, we're back with plenty of content on this edition! The Packers clear some cap room and the Bears don't even pick up the phone for Carson Wentz. The Bucks are a little strung out approaching the all-star break plus some NBA notes. College hoops: the Badgers can't compete with overly athletic teams but are still predicted to be a high seed in the NCAA tournament, and Marquette is near the bottom of the Big East. Selection Sunday is coming up and also some thoughts on Jalen Johnson quitting yet another team. The Brewers are all together in Maryvale and the infield looks....better (?) than it did two or three weeks ago. One final game on Dan's Janesville Craig Hoops Classics YouTube Channel....and for the finale he dishes on the state of basketball right now. Everything from flopping to officiating, the three-pointer and instant replay....just not happy with it. All that and more on this edition of the Intentional Foul! And for the love of god tell your friends!
Football is done for half the year after the Bucs beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl....and for half the show, it's a welcome reprieve. Come next season more than half the league will have a new QB. Trade rumors. And an RIP. The Bucks are in the middle of a six-game road trip and they've been hit by Covid. The Badger basketball team has fallen off since Christmas and Marquette stinks according to Dan. Plus some early bracketology. The Brewers sign another Wisconsin-born dude and Josh's nemesis is back for another year. And more games on the Janesville Craig Hoops Classics YouTube page. All that and MORE coming up on this edition of The Intentional Foul! TELL. YOUR. FRIENDS.
The pre-Super Bowl edition will contains no prop bets but a quick little preview of the game between the Chiefs and Bucs, followed by some NFL notes that include the Goff/Stafford trade, Rodgers/Packers drama (again) and some weird head coach press conferences. Also on today's episode Dan has a boatload of NBA news after the Bucks pound Portland; some way-to-early playoff insights; leaders for the MVP; and Lebron gets in a pissing match with some fans. Plus, Badgers hoops is trending down, Marquette is no good and Dan is done with Woj. Baseball will start on time, the Cardinals do it again, status quo with the Brewers, and nobody is going to the MLB HOF. More JVL Craig hoops classics on YouTube as well. All that are more on this edition of the Intentional Foul. TELL. YOUR. FRIENDS.
A jam-packed episode with Josh mourning the end of the Packers season, albeit prematurely. Tons of stuff to discuss regarding Green Bay again melting down with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line....LaFleur coaching in big games, Pettine's defense, end of the game decisions, Kevin King, free agents to be, playoff dominance at Lambeau gone....a lot to unpack. And then there's the AFC title game. Some Bucks basketball, the Badgers aren't as good as they're ranked, and Marquette can't be DePaul. Plus baseball is inching closer...or is it? Cactus League wants to delay the start of spring training and could this be the Brewers worst infield ever?! Dan has some new YouTube content up on the site too. All that and more coming up on this edition! Tell your friends.

College football has a problem after Bama steamrolls its way to another title. College hoops: Badgers get blown out by Michigan, Marquette vs Providence.

A milestone episode on the Intentional Foul as we've made it to number 100! To celebrate we tried to come up with and re-visit a Top Five list....and we failed miserably. Instead we found Gazette sports writer John Barry laid up at home with a busted up ankle/foot, so he was available to talk about a few things. We roll through the Bears bungling boondoggle against the Lions plus the Packers having a tougher time with the Eagles than they should have. All the other NFL recaps and previews plus NBA stuff as Giannis talks for the first time in training camp. And finally we look back on our history of this podcast for the last two years and Dan has a big announcement that should command a decent amount of attention. Thank you for listening through 100 episodes, and, as always....tell your friends.

A light episode before we hit the century mark next week. Still plenty to cover in the NFL with week 12 NOT DONE YET! We'll recap the Packers/Bears and talk Trubisky, coaching, management, ownership and everything else that is wrong with the Chicago franchise. The NBA is three weeks away from dropping the curtain and there's (drumroll) Giannis supermax rumors! College football....kind of...with all the cancellations. College hoops with Wisconsin burying its first three opponents, plus Marquette. And the Janesville high school hoops teams start their seasons. All that and more coming up on this edition of The Intentional Foul! And please, as always, tells your friends.

Putting the wraps on Packers/Colts and how Green Bay's defense continues to disappoint. The rest of the week 11 results plus the updated playoff picture and week 12 previews. The Bucks made some moves...some worked, one didn't. Dan breaks down the new-look team in Milwaukee. Pat Fitzgerald continues to own Paul Chryst and Graham Mertz plays like a freshman. College hoops is back today in full! And the return of the high school basketball season....kinda. All that and more on this episode. Happy Thanksgiving to you...and please, tell your friends.

But we'll still go over the Packers dominating win over the Texans, the Bears offense sputtering against the Rams along with the rest of the NFL week.

Update on Big 10 Football/WIAC basketball
Before getting to week one of the NFL season in its entirety, including the Packers and Bears...Dan and Josh lead off this episode talking about how to deal with a neighbor's dog dropping bombs in your yard. After that spirited discussion, it's onto some surprising week one upsets since homefield apparently doesn't matter with no fans! The Brewers had a rough series against the Cubs over the weekend including a no-hitter. Giannis meets with the Bucks brass, which hopefully will lead to him staying in Milwaukee longterm. All that and more coming up on this week's Intentional Foul. As always, please tell your friends.

A few days late, but JUST in time for the start of the NFL season, Dan and Josh return for another jam-packed episode. A quick tidbit about the Field of Dreams movie site before diving into all the recent happenings. The Bucks season is done, but not without a lot of analysis and prognosticating. The Brewers are flirting with an berth in the expanded playoffs with less than a month to go. And the National Football League is back TONIGHT with the Chiefs and Texans.

Predictions!
After a two-week hiatus for a Coronavirus test, the fellas are back as Josh brings an aroma with him to Studio B. Ahead on this episode: sports and politics are intertwined once again (tippy-toe tippy-toe); the Bucks draw the ire of Lebron but beat the Magic and advance to the second round before falling to the Heat in game one; the Brewers continue their up-and-down campaign against the Reds and Pirates plus make a trade before the deadline; the NFL is back a week from Thursday...all quiet in Green Bay while the Bears need a starting QB and are dealing with a running back injury; and the Big Ten looks like a traveling clown show. All that and more on this edition! Tell your friends!

Dan and Josh are back for a third week in a row since stuff is actually happening! The Brewers turn in a solid performance against the Cubs and Dan is FILLED with positivity. The NBA playoffs started Monday and the Bucks play the Magic today. Let's hope Giannis doesn't headbutt anyone. The Packers sign NT Kenny Clark to a large extension and there's a new Monday Night Football crew. Plus, the college football is a mess with all the difference conferences figuring out what they wanna do. And a "state of the union" of sorts for high school athletics. All that and more on this edition. Tell your friends!

The Brewers continue to be average while the Covid Cardinals continue to be a problem. The NBA seeding games are coming to a close and the Bucks are the number one seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Plus, where has the "middle class of sports" gone?

The fellas are back without the week off in between and sports are rolling...albeit not without some trouble. Baseball has had the Marlins and Cardinals suffer 'Rona outbreaks (thanks Molina). The Brewers look average over their first couple series. The Bucks have dropped two of three so far and seem to be easing back into it down at Disney...but the NBA overall has succeeded in its bubble comeback. NFL training camps have started and the questions for Aaron Rodgers about his future are old already. Plus the XFL putting a team in North Dakota?! Dan has the perfect mascot. (Make sure you tune in to the last ten minutes at least). All that and more on this edition! Please, tell your friends!

Dan and Josh return after another two weeks off in between episodes. Baseball has returned...for now...and the Brewers didn't have the best series to start the weekend against the Cubs. Dan is concerned....as he was months ago. The NBA is ready to return to regular season play on Thursday and the Bucks have been scrimmaging. Giannis your MVP and Defensive POY? Maybe a hole popped in the Disney bubble too? A few NFL notes and some more college conferences are bidding adieu to fall sports. All that and more on this edition! Tell your friends. Please.

The guys are back after two weeks between episodes to let the content build up. And there's a lot to cover with Major League Baseball start time t-minus under two weeks, the NBA Disney bubble is in full effect with players already breaking the rules, the Chiefs sign Patrick Mahomes to a monster deal and college football is looking less likely by the week. Plus the return of the top five with the biggest Packers/Bears draft busts in our lifetime. All that and more on this edition! And please....tell your friends.

The NBA big bubble city season is set to get going at the end of July, and what does the future hold for the Bucks? The Patriots jumped right back into the AFC East race by signing Cam Newton. A possible geographic realignment for college football (not likely) and Iowa seems to be in a little trouble. All that and more on this edition! Tell your friends.

The NFL is dealing with a variety of issues, baseball is a bonafide disaster, some players in the NBA could hold up the restart...plus the home run chase of 1998, some weird high school football news and the most frustrating player you've ever rooted for.

More NFL notes including the Bears declining Mitch Trubisky's 5th-year option, the Cowboys signing Andy Dalton, the Alex Smith injury documentary, and Don Shula passes away. Also it was another weekend for the Michael Jordan/Bulls documentary that touched on a variety of topics: Kobe in an All-Star game, the marketing history, the 92 NBA Finals and Olympics, plus a bigger focus on MJ's gambling tendencies. And finally, a local school district isn't paying its spring coaches...which makes Janesville in the minority to do that. All that and more on this edition! Tell your friends.
On this week's episode the fellas talk about home improvement and taking your pets places; the NFL Draft set records for viewership, plus the Packers and Bears picks; and the 3rd and 4th episodes of The Last Dance Jordan documentary.

After technology rendered this episode lost for more than a week, it's finally been uncovered...however no memory or rundown exists of exactly what was talked about. Best guess: football, hoops and there WAS some good discussion about the local high school scene. Thanks for listening/downloading/subscribing. Tell your friends.
Coming up on this edition: Dan and Josh break down the NFC and AFC championship games with plenty of time spent on the Packers going forward into the offseason, former Badgers linebacker Chris Borland is critical of his time in Madison and also Dan asks why football players are so dumb, college hoops talk with Wisconsin splitting games last week and Marquette with a pair of victories, in the NBA the Bucks continue to rack up the wins and now travel to Paris amidst the national media not taking them seriously, the Astros sign-stealing scandal is getting deeper and a funny story about cheaters from a former Brewer. All that and more in an hour-plus of chatter. Tell your friends.
Dan and Josh return after quite a few upsets in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs this past week. They talk Packers/Seahawks and summarize the rest of the games leading into the final four teams vying for the Super Bowl. College football's national championship was on Monday and Dan had no idea ON the DAY of the game. College hoops: Wisconsin with a road win over a ranked Penn State team that nobody was there to witness and Marquette in a hole to start Big East play. Also, the devalued Top 25 ranking. The Bucks have a solid road trip against Western Conference foes. And in a bonus segment, which two players/coaches/front office people from two different sports would the guys want to sit and have an extended conversation with...? They reveal their answers and reasoning. All that are more on this edition! Tell your friends.
Dan and Josh return after a shorter break than usual to recap the AFC and NFC playoff games...which were a tad boring.

There's a quick bit about Badger football as Cephus is going to the pro with Taylor, college hoops has Marquette and Wisconsin both coming off big weekend wins, the Bucks kick off a four-game Western conference trip, and another former Brewer signs elsewhere. Plus, does wearing a team shoe in high school matter...? All that and more on this edition. Tell your friends.
The fellas are into the new year with a resolution to try and do an episode every week in 2020.

The Rose Bowl featured turnovers, Paul Chryst f-bombs and Barry Alvarez shooing away his grandson. Marquette and Wisconsin hoops, early NBA All-Star voting numbers released and the Bucks continue to play well. Plus Dan remembers former NBA commissioner David Stern, who just passed away. All that and more on this edition! Tell your friends.

The fellas are back in Studio B and Dan is thankful the Bears are eliminated from the playoffs so he can stop paying attention. He and Josh talk about the Packers win at Lambeau. Josh goes off about the receivers and how people should feel about the 11-3 team. Plus the playoff picture, remaining games for those teams involved and the potential scenarios. Badger football has some All-Americans. The hoops team for UW isn't that great while Marquette has a busy week. The Bucks winning streak (now over) is the main topic of conversation in the NBA and how the national talking heads are treating Milwaukee. The Brewers added another outfield and Dan isn't exactly doing cartwheels. And the RETURN of the Top Five as the guys count down their top five sports villains of the last decade. All that are more on this edition! Tell your friends.

And our second guest of the podcast is Gazette sports editor Eric Schmoldt, who talks about some of the local prep activity in the area. All that and more on this week's episode! Tell your friends.
The guys open up with some Christmas decoration talk then fail to keep it under a half hour when it comes to NFL chatter (Packers, Bears, scores, playoff picture and this week's matchups). Also on the docket, the Badgers get the Axe back and Dan is in the "trophy games are dumb" camp; Wisconsin hoops has a rough tournament in Brooklyn and shooting has been abysmal; Marquette with a decent showing in Orlando; the Bucks looks like they'll have a better regular season than last year; and finally the Brewers have had a lot of players exit via trade, non-tendering contracts or free agency...what's going on?! All that and more on this edition! Tell your friends.
Rocking the low, bass tones, Dan and Josh return from Studio B with all manner of sports ruminations. There's thirty-plus minutes of NFL talk including Dan freaking out on the Bears despite a victory. Josh talks about the Packers loss to the Niners and exactly what this Green Bay team is. The Badgers try to retake the Axe and win the Big Ten West in front of College Gameday. Wisconsin hoops will not have Micah Potter until December 21st and Dan says to get over it. Marquette hoops with a close win. The Bucks continue to roll and the Brewers are gonna need some help at catcher and first base. All that and more before your Thanksgiving waist expansion!
Dan and Josh spend a good thirty-plus minutes on the NFL talking the demise of the Bears season, the Packers coming off the bye week and they recap the week as well as look ahead to the upcoming slate of games. Plus they also spend waaaay too much impromptu time and energy on the Kaepernick situation. The Badgers take care of business in Nebraska and could be on a collision course with Minnesota for the Big Ten West title. College hoops time with Wisconsin and Marquette. And finally the Bucks are still cruising. All that and the Brewers have a new logo and a couple new uniforms.
