    Evan Cohen joins Jim, Matt & Molly on the Yuengling Guest Hotline.

Molly also lives in the embarrassment of mispronouncing horses names in the Kentucky Derby last week. They get into sports, but not the one they were expecting, as they delve into Evan's LOVE for all things WWE! They talk Seth "Freakin' Rollins, whether Evan would ever be in a match at WrestleMania, and Jim's AWFULL impersonation of Ric Flair's WOO! Also, would Matt make an excellent WWE wrestler, what is Yeeting, and was this the best or worst 20 minutes of Evan Cohen on Jim, Matt & Molly???

  • Adam Schefter on Tyrod Taylor Signing, Jordan Love Injury Talk & Rodgers Holding Pattern
    ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to break down the Packers’ decision to sign veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor, calling it a smart move that adds leadership, stability, and experience to a young roster. Schefter explains why Taylor is widely respected around the league and why the drop-off from previous backup options may be minimal.
    The conversation shifts to the idea of labeling Jordan Love as “injury-prone,” with Schefter pushing back on the notion and emphasizing how common missed time has become across the NFL. They also discuss Jonathan Gannon’s defensive philosophy, with Schefter noting that adaptability isn’t new—it’s simply what good coaching looks like in today’s evolving league.
    Schefter wraps up with updates on NFL referee negotiations, suggesting progress toward avoiding replacement officials, and the latest on Aaron Rodgers, describing the situation as a continued “holding pattern” as the veteran quarterback weighs his next move.

  • Jason Wilde on Gannon’s Flexible Defense, Packers Cornerback Pressure & Tyrod Taylor’s Role
    Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to react to the Packers’ coordinator availabilities, starting with Jonathan Gannon’s first public comments as defensive coordinator. Wilde explains why Gannon’s “no scheme” philosophy reflects the modern NFL, with the defense expected to shift week to week based on opponent and personnel.
    The conversation turns to Gannon’s expectations for the cornerback room, especially the need for physical, willing tacklers. Wilde also weighs in on Adam Stenavich’s comments about offensive execution before breaking down the Packers’ decision to sign Tyrod Taylor, arguing the move shows Brian Gutekunst recognizes Green Bay needs proven veteran insurance behind Jordan Love in a Super Bowl-or-bust season.

  • Jason Wilde on Lukas Van Ness, Packers Depth, and the Running Back Question
    Jen, Gabe, and Chewy dig into several Packers roster questions with Jason Wilde, starting with Green Bay’s decision to pick up Lukas Van Ness’s fifth-year option. Jason explains that the move is less about past production and more about projected upside, with the Packers betting that Van Ness can still grow into a much more impactful pass rusher. The crew compares that decision to past first-rounders, discusses why the price is still manageable at a premium position, and debates whether Van Ness is set up for a breakout now that Micah Parsons will draw so much attention on the other side.
    The conversation also turns to the Packers’ edge depth overall, including how much confidence the team has in younger players like Baron Sorrell, Colin Oliver, Deny Dennis-Sutton, and Brenton Cox. Jason breaks down why Green Bay may view the fifth-year option as both an upside swing and an insurance policy while those younger rushers continue to develop.
    Later in the hour, the group shifts to the running back room, with Jason weighing in on whether the Packers truly believe MarShawn Lloyd can be the answer behind Josh Jacobs. While Lloyd’s talent and explosiveness still intrigue the organization, his injury history makes it difficult to count on him. That leads to a broader conversation about whether Green Bay still needs to add another body for competition and how much trust they can realistically place in Lloyd, Chris Brooks, and the current depth options heading into camp.

  • Jason Wilde on Packers Camp Battles, Micah Parsons Recovery and Jayden Reed’s Bargain Deal
    Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to break down several key Packers storylines, starting with Micah Parsons’ recovery timeline and why Green Bay should stay patient rather than rush him back too early. He also discusses why Desmond Ritter appears to be the favorite to back up Jordan Love entering training camp, even if the Packers are not ready to publicly say it outright. Wilde explains that Green Bay is giving Ritter a real runway in the offense, much like they once did with Malik Willis.
    The conversation also dives into the Packers’ offensive line outlook, with Wilde saying the current group is likely the one Green Bay plans to take into camp, while acknowledging there could still be competition at a few spots. He also praises the Jayden Reed extension as a bargain for the Packers, arguing that the deal is team-friendly if Reed simply stays healthy and maintains his current level of production. The segment wraps with Wilde explaining the unusual Steelers move involving Aaron Rodgers and why Pittsburgh’s “right of first refusal” setup appears to be more about protecting draft compensation than forcing Rodgers onto the roster.

  • Brewers Are Fine! Jeff Levering Explains Why 14–13 Isn’t a Problem
    The Brewers are just over .500 — and somehow, that’s exactly where they should be.
    In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering joins the show to break down Milwaukee’s first month of the season and why the current record doesn’t tell the full story.
    ⚾ Brewers at 14–13 — Good or Bad?
    At first glance:
    One game over .500
    Last place in the division
    Inconsistent offense
    But Levering’s take:
    👉 “They’re doing fine.”
    🧠 Why This Start Isn’t a Problem
    The context matters:
    Missing key bats like Yelich, Vaughn, and Chourio
    Inexperienced starting rotation
    Tough schedule ahead
    And still:
    👉 The Brewers are holding steady
    🔥 Trevor Megill Turning It Around
    After early struggles:
    Megill has improved command
    Throwing more strikes
    Fastball working better up in the zone
    👉 The trust is starting to return
    👀 Kyle Harrison Breakout
    Levering highlights:
    A healthy offseason making a huge difference
    Increased confidence and command
    Electric fastball that even teammates struggle to pick up
    😬 Sal Frelick Struggles
    Frelick hasn’t found his rhythm yet:
    Only one multi-hit game so far
    Still grinding through long at-bats
    Contributing in subtle ways
    👉 The belief:
    He’ll be fine — just needs time
    🚑 Help Is Coming
    Injury updates bring optimism:
    Jackson Chourio could be first back
    Andrew Vaughn not far behind
    Both potentially returning soon

  • Adam Schefter: Rams QB Pick Feels Like Packers Move.. Draft Reactions + NFL Rumors
    Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy fresh off the NFL Draft — and immediately connects one of the biggest moves to a familiar Packers storyline.
    🏈 Rams Draft a QB… Sound Familiar?
    Schefter breaks down the Rams taking Ty Simpson and compares it directly to the Packers drafting Jordan Love:
    👉 A win-now team drafting a future quarterback
    His analogy:
    👉 It’s like buying insurance you don’t think you need — until you do
    The Packers questioned it at the time
    Eventually proved right
    But possibly sacrificed a Super Bowl run in the process
    👀 Sean McVay’s Reaction Explained
    Schefter offers insight into why McVay looked uncomfortable:
    He was trying not to disrespect Matthew Stafford
    The team went out of its way to notify Stafford and Stetson Bennett
    It’s about balancing future planning with current leadership
    🔄 Draft Night = Trade Night
    The first round featured 8 trades, and Schefter explains:
    Most weren’t massive deals
    Teams were simply manipulating the board
    Even division rivals are willing to work together
    🧠 Teams That Won the Draft
    From Schefter’s perspective:
    Raiders stood out
    Cowboys had a strong showing
    Browns also impressed
    🔥 Still Big Names Available
    Even after the draft, the league isn’t done:
    Odell Beckham Jr.
    DeAndre Hopkins
    Stefon Diggs
    Juwan Jennings
    👉 Free agency still has storylines left
    ⏳ NFL Calendar Slowing Down
    Schefter notes:
    The league is entering a quieter period
    But it’s never fully quiet
    Expect more moves leading into minicamps
