    Ep. 381 Packers Draft Priorities, Dexter Lawrence Fallout, Giannis Rumors & the Brewers’ Sal Frelick Debate
    Apr 20 2026
    Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio, and Will Sommers dive headfirst into one of the busiest sports stretches of the spring with an episode packed around the biggest Wisconsin storylines. With the NFL Draft just days away, the guys spend a big chunk of the show breaking down what the Packers should do with their early picks, why cornerback still feels like Green Bay’s biggest roster concern, and how the Dexter Lawrence trade reshapes the market after Brian Gutekunst’s Micah Parsons move. They also debate whether the Packers are truly as worried about corner as fans are, what the team’s recent draft history says about their approach, and how many picks Goody might actually make. The conversation then shifts to the Bucks, where the frustration keeps building. The crew reacts to more Giannis comments about the rumors that followed Milwaukee all season, questions why people around the organization keep talking instead of letting the situation cool down, and unpacks what it all says about the direction of the franchise after another disappointing year. There is also plenty of exasperation over the never-ending cloud hanging over the team and what comes next for Giannis and the front office. Over on the Brewers side, the guys talk through Milwaukee’s recent slide, Christian Yelich’s injury, and whether fans should be worried yet or just chalk it up to the natural turbulence of a long season. That turns into a heated back-and-forth over Sal Frelick, his early-season struggles, and whether the “Summer of Sal” is already in trouble or just taking the scenic route. Throw in talk about Brandon McManus, the Packers’ kicking situation, Drake showing up in Packers gear, and the usual Mr. Irrelevant detours, and you get a loaded episode that hits all the biggest topics from Packers draft week to Brewers panic levels.

    Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio, and Will Sommers dive into a loaded Friday edition of Mr. Irrelevant, starting with Evan Williams’ comments on Matt LaFleur and what they reveal about the Packers’ culture heading into 2026. The guys discuss Green Bay’s offseason philosophy, the departures of players who may not have fully bought in, and whether the locker room is being reshaped around LaFleur’s vision. They also keep the NFL Draft conversation rolling with Alex revealing his “my guy” for the Packers, sparking debate over positional value, prospect fit, and whether Green Bay should prioritize cornerback at pick 52. On the baseball side, the crew argues over the Brewers’ bunt-heavy win, small ball versus entertainment, and whether Pat Murphy’s strategy is good process or just ugly baseball. Plus, they hit on Doc Rivers and Giannis drama, Bears-Packers rivalry talk, and wrap with a chaotic round of nicknames, vocabulary, and classic Friday nonsense.

    Ep. 379 Packers Draft and Trade Buzz, Barry Alvarez on Wisconsin AD Change, Brewers Injury Concerns and Losing Streak
    Apr 15 2026
    Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio, and Will Sommers cover a packed hour of Wisconsin sports, starting with the growing intrigue around the Packers and a possible move for Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence after Adam Schefter hinted Green Bay could be in the mix. The crew debates what a trade would cost, whether Brian Gutekunst should go all-in again after the Micah Parsons move, and how much the Packers still need to add before the draft. Josh also reveals his official “guy” for the Packers in the 2026 NFL Draft: Penn State edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton. The conversation also turns to major changes in Madison, where Chris McIntosh steps down as Wisconsin athletic director to take a new role with the Big Ten. The guys react to what it means for the Badgers, what Barry Alvarez had to say, and why the timing adds even more uncertainty around Wisconsin football. They wrap with concern over the Brewers’ six-game skid, Christian Yelich’s injury, Trevor Megill getting booed at AmFam Field, and a lively One Word Wednesday that mixes sports, weird news, and plenty of classic Mr. Irrelevant chaos.
