The Interviews

Craig Karmazin joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy for a conversation that goes in two huge directions: the Milwaukee Bucks hiring Taylor Jenkins and the NFL Draft decision by the Rams that instantly reminded everyone of the Packers drafting Jordan Love.

🦌 Bucks Hire Taylor Jenkins

The Bucks have their new head coach, and Craig reacts to the hiring of Taylor Jenkins as Milwaukee begins a new era.

The discussion centers on:

Why Jenkins feels like a solid, defensible hire

His background with Coach Bud and previous time in Milwaukee

His success in Memphis and why many around the league still viewed him positively

Whether a coach in the NBA is more about X’s and O’s or managing stars and egos

👀 Was Giannis Involved?

That leads to the biggest Bucks question:

Did Giannis have any say in the coaching hire?

Craig is honest that he doesn’t know for sure, but the conversation digs into:

Giannis posting that the Deer District “should be loaded right now”

Whether that was a message of frustration or solidarity with Bucks fans

How much power Giannis still has within the organization

Why everything in Milwaukee still ultimately goes back to Giannis

🏈 Rams Draft a QB… and Everyone Thinks “Jordan Love”

The NFL Draft side of the conversation gets just as interesting.

The Rams taking Ty Simpson at No. 13 sparked immediate comparisons to the Packers drafting Jordan Love:

A win-now team using a premium pick on a future quarterback

A head coach who may not have been fully on board

The tension between planning ahead and maximizing a Super Bowl window

Craig says Jordan Love has clearly worked out for Green Bay, but also argues the Packers may still have cost themselves a better chance at another title by not going all-in in that draft.

🚨 The Key Line from Schefter

Schefter makes it clear:

👉 Keep an eye on the Packers in connection to Dexter Lawrence

Running into tough pitching matchups

But Levering keeps the perspective grounded:

👉 “That’s baseball” — even good teams go through stretches like this.

🧠 What’s Behind the Slide?

Levering points to:

Early-season ups and downs

Facing elite arms

The natural grind of a long MLB season

The key takeaway:

👉 It’s too early to panic — but it’s something to monitor.

Even during the skid, the message stays consistent:

Stay patient

Trust the talent

Let the season play out

ESPN NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. joins Wilde and Tausch to preview what the Green Bay Packers approach may be to the 2026 NFL Draft without a first round pick. Also, thoughts on the state of Wisconsin Badgers football and its prospects - or lack thereof - for the NFL Draft over the last few years.

Jason Wilde joined Jen, Gabe, and Chewy for a wide-ranging Packers conversation centered on the upcoming draft, Brian Gutekunst’s roster-building philosophy, and where Green Bay still has real questions to answer. Jason explained why “best player available” is often more complicated than the cliché suggests, sharing a great Ted Thompson story to illustrate how need can still break ties on a draft board. He also compared Gutekunst’s approach to John Schneider’s, arguing that while there are many ways to build a roster, the Packers GM has so far built teams that are good, but not yet truly championship-level.

The conversation also dug into cap space, possible restructures, and what Green Bay’s offseason may look like from here. Jason suggested the Packers could lean more toward draft picks, bargain signings, and extensions for players they already know they want to keep, with names like Tucker Kraft and Christian Watson coming up in that context. He also pointed to one of his biggest concerns with the current roster: not the frontline starters, but the lack of enough draft capital to properly backfill future departures. Wilde questioned whether the Packers have done enough to prepare for contract decisions looming at wide receiver and elsewhere, while making it clear that cornerback still feels like the most obvious immediate need.

Jeff Levering, the voice of the Brewers, joined Jen, Gabe, and Chewy to break down Milwaukee’s strong start to the season and what’s fueling the early success. He highlighted the team’s defining identity—resilience and depth—pointing to a bullpen that continues to deliver and a roster full of players stepping up when needed. From David Hamilton filling in seamlessly to the team already cycling through multiple starting pitchers, Levering emphasized that adaptability remains a core strength of this Brewers squad.

The conversation also touched on individual standouts and long-term outlook. Levering praised Christian Yelich’s renewed confidence and leadership, noting how comfort and experience are translating into performance. He also pointed to Garrett Mitchell’s availability and production as a major boost, while breaking down Jacob Misiorowski’s development and why his command will be key to unlocking his full potential. Beyond the field, Levering shared his thoughts on the new City Connect uniforms, applauding the team for embracing a statewide identity and connecting with fans through thoughtful design.
