Molly & Jim

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll on to their non-pregame show preview of tonight's Packers season opener versus the Eagles. They shift from asking which side of the ball will we all be talking about tomorrow morning, as they get into which of the team's big free agents will have a bigger impact this season (and tonight): Josh Jacobs or Xavier McKinney. Jim still isn't buying into the C.Y.A. contract that the Packers paid Jacobs, and they all give their predictions for Jacobs' yard per carry by the end of the season. Molly's Game includes betting line questions on the Jordan Love vs Aaron Rodgers passing yards, Josh Jacobs' longest rushing attempt, and Primetime shares his "expertise" on the Patriots vs Bengals. They wrap with an accelerated Poll Dancing, asking how many days are there between Tuesday morning and Friday night?

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown take us into the kickoff of the NFL season LIVE from the iconic State Street Brats in Madison! They begin the show by asking how the heck Matt Hamilton was the only member of today's show to get invited to this morning's Wilde & Tausch Bold-a-Thon?!?!? They listen to the audio of Matt's truly bold take, and they ask the fans for their fill in the blank answer: The Green Bay Packers will win the Super Bowl...? Jim, Matt & Molly all give their answers surrounding Jordan Love's play, the number of Packers who win award recognition, and more. And, they review some of the results on the ESPN Madison Talk/Text line. How much of the Packers' Super Bowl chances will rely on Jeff Hafley's new defense, the continued growth of Love and his young receiving corps, and the team's (possibly questionable) offensive line? They wrap up Hour 1 with the The High Life Dive Bar of the Week: Connie's Plate in Cottage Grove!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll on from State Street Brats as their presented by Coors Light! With the NFL season kicking off tonight with the Ravens at the Chiefs, Jim asks which of the marquee primetime games are Matt & Molly most interested in (other than the Packers) -- rematches of last year's Conference Championship Games with the Ravens-Chiefs and Lions-Rams, or Aaron Rodgers return to the Jets vs the 49ers on Monday Night Football! Is Aaron Rodgers becoming irrelevant in Wisconsin, and how will Matt Hamilton feel if he BALLS OUT this season in New York? In honor of the new Kelce Mix of General Mills cereals, the put together a poll questions with their favorite three-cereal combinations. Throwing Stones includes takes on retiring animals who predict the weather, the NFL taking over every day of the week, and UW Athletics returning the memorial bricks that they paid to be up for ever-ish! Jim wraps up the show with a cheers to Uncle Bill in Beavers Damn -- a Good Karma Brands legend who passes away today.

Mark Tauscher joins the show to discuss the Packers' upcoming season opener and his takeaways from the Badgers' so-so showing Week 1 vs Western Michigan. First, Matt & Molly try to give Tausch the spin zone about why they forget his name when trying to the list the last 10 players to be inducted into the Packers' Hall of Fame. Molly also asks how Tausch is feeling about the Badgers' upcoming Big Ten schedule after how they looked Week 1, and Jim asks Tausch what he's looking for in the season opener in Brazil? They also ask which member of the Packers he would've most wanted to sit next to on the 12-hour flight to Sao Paulo, and what are his red flags when sitting down next to someone on an airplane?

Matt reaches into his homer bag to ask the fans who from the Packers that they'd most wanna sit next to on the 12-hour flight to Brazil, and Jim gives *proper credit* to the Packers twitter for the idea on today's poll (no plagiarism accusations here). Want loud Jaire, easy-going Jordan, or medium-sized Matt LaFleur? Plus, what're the biggest red flags that would make you not wanna sit next to someone on a long flight? Also, Molly and the rest of us don't need to plagiarize to come up with our bad takes! In today's Minute to Win It, Jim & Primetime quiz Matt & Molly on the last 10 players to be inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame, including a NOTABLE ommissison...
