Homer and Brian Bulaga lean all the way into World Cup fever, with Homer marveling at Paraguay pushing Germany and Bulaga explaining why knockout soccer can make even heavy favorites vulnerable. The guys debate flopping, officiating, uniform confusion on broadcasts, and why the expanded tournament has turned previously meaningless games into a wildly successful spectacle. Homer also checks in on whether “The Miz” is pitching and previews the U.S. knockout matchup against Bosnia with Bulaga, who says he would be very surprised if the Americans lose. Later, Bulaga lays out his ideal NFL health plan, including changes to Thursday games, more useful joint practices, and a little more padded work in training camp. The hour closes with a thoughtful conversation about former Packers teammates, why reaching a Super Bowl matters even without winning it, and the Hall of Fame-level talent of players like Davante Adams, David Bakhtiari and Nick Collins.
