Intentional Foul

It's tournament time on this edition of the Intentional Foul! But before we get to the madness, first it's NFL free agency and dramatics in Green Bay. The Bears trade their #1 draft pick for a boatload of picks and a player...then use their $72 million in salary cap to add a couple linebackers plus an offensive and defensive lineman. Is Aaron Rodgers going to the Jets? He's got a wish list and the...

Back after a busy few weeks off due to high school sports broadcasts...it's another edition of the Intentional Foul! It might be the NFL offseason, but there's plenty of news/rumors concerning the Bears trading from the top spot in the draft, the Packers maybe trading Aaron Rodgers to the Jets, plus some stuff from the combine in Indianapolis. In the NBA, the Bucks have the best record in the East...

Back after a week off with a post-Super Bowl/NFL wrap-up edition: Chiefs win, late penalty, and is Mahomes an all-time great already? Plus a bunch of coaching hires and a major player gets released. Mock drafts! The Bucks are inching closer to the all-star break and are right near the top of the Eastern Conference. Tons of trades made before the deadline and some big names get shipped. Lebron brea...

The Super Bowl participants are set with the Eagles and Chiefs winning their respective conference title games. What do the Niners do at QB now? Bad officiating in both games. The Bucks are getting healthier (kind of) while opponents are getting hurt more. Is Jae Crowder going to be acquired before the trade deadline? LeBron throws a giant tantrum. Marquette is tied atop the Big East and Dan goes...

Back after a week off with another near-90 minute episode! First off, a new poll came out with the top 20 best video games of all time...and the list is not great. Next, the divisional round of the NFL playoffs weren't spectacular: no lead changes, a big injury, a blowout and a hilarious last play from Dak/McCarthy. The Bucks haven't been great but everybody's been hurt. Shannon Sharpe goes berser...

The end has come...the Packers and Bears respective seasons are over...and the NFL playoffs start this weekend. Chicago sits Justin Fields and gets the #1 pick in the draft thanks to a loss to Minnesota. Green Bay blows its chance...at home...in a must-win game...against a division opponent that only had a spoiler role. A couple fits of stupidity also factor in. Week 18 results and the playoff pic...

On this week's episode of the Intentional Foul... There's a lot left to be decided heading into the final week of the NFL regular season...including what's going to happen with the Bills/Bengals game that was stopped as a player's life hangs in the balance. Bears get whooped and should play for the #1 pick in the draft...but will they? Packers stomp the Vikings...but is Green Bay suddenly good, or...

Apologies for last week's missing podcast...we were in Studio B and we recorded one....somehow it didn't show up and the matrix swallowed it. So...all our brilliance was lost last week. But we're back with another episode of the Intentional Foul pre-Christmas. Week 15 of the NFL season saw the Bears almost pull one out against the Eagles and the Packers beat a bad Rams team. What are these hand si...

Reviews on leftover cereal milk came back from last week...and which spicy chicken sandwich is the best? That's how this episode of the Intentional Foul kicks off. We talk Packers/Bears and other week 13 results plus week 14 previews. The Badgers are playing in a bowl game that could be the battle of the backup QBs. Players are leaving the program in groups (and we were late on the Leonhard news)....

A couple of different food discussions as the side dishes to our main course of sports on this week's edition of the Intentional Foul. Cereal sizes and leftover milk, plus does Thanksgiving need turkey anymore...? Otherwise it's pretty much all bad news for the Bears and Packers as both teams deal with quarterback injuries. Should Jordan Love start the last few weeks of the season? Week 12 results...

It's a solemn edition of the Intentional Foul this week as I'm grieving the unexpected and early loss of the UW-Whitewater football team in the first round of the playoffs. Otherwise, all rose petals and gummy bears as both the Packers and Bears continue to lose...GB to the Titans (looked awful) and Chicago to the Falcons (game-ending INT by Fields). Season is over for the Packers at this point. T...

A "Welcome Back to the 80s" Packers hoodie could be the perfect Christmas gift this year at this rate! On this episode of the Intentional Foul, we discuss the terrible-ness that is going on Green Bay with the latest debacle in Detroit. The Bears show promise in a loss. Plus other week 9 results and week 10 previews. The Badgers keep winning under Leonhard, but now it gets tougher. The Astros win a...

We're more active than the Packers at the trade deadline in this edition of the Intentional Foul! Green Bay has lost four in a row while the Bears get throttled by Dallas. Not even halfway through the season but a sneak peak at some potential playoff teams. Long way to go. Trade deadline recap: NFC North teams active except Packers. Bears do some swapping and Lions/Vikings do business. Hall brawl...

Who would have thought things are trending in opposite direction for the Packers and the Bears...but that's exactly what's going on...and the teams have identical records. That's how we kick off this week's edition of the Intentional Foul. We'll run through both games and where the teams are at, whether there's TOO much parity in the league, wrap up this past week's results and give a snapshot of...

Two embarrassing performances by the Bears and Packers as we kick off another edition of the Intentional Foul this week. Chicago's challenges continue while Green Bay could be in some trouble. Week 6 results (weird) and week 7 previews (not good). The Badgers lose again and the program also could be in trouble (i.e. offense ineffectiveness, players entering transfer portal). Baseball playoffs...no...

After an inconsistent start to our NFL season...it's the longest edition of the Intentional Foul to date! Sit back, relax and strap in for almost two of hours of....us! Packers look like crap against the Giants overseas while the Bears still look like crap...although signs of life from Justin Fields. Results and previews from last week and this week. Who's good...who's bad....? A discussion about...

An unplanned week off due to illness has a jam-packed 90 minutes worth of content on this week's episode of the Intentional Foul. We start all the way back to two weeks ago and some final thoughts on Packers/Bears before jumping back into this past weekend's matchups...couple upsets in there and a lot of injuries as well. Also: Brett Favre might not be a great guy. Week 4 has some highlighted game...

Aaaaaaaaaaand we're off and running with the 2022 NFL season! Coming up on this edition, the Bears pull one out in the monsoon while the Packers look completely overmatched. Week 1 results and week 2 previews. The Badgers are one of many Power 5 teams to go down despite being heavy favorites. Baseball has some rule changes coming next season. Plus a strange ending to the Craig/Parker football game...

Not the way we wanted to start off the NFL season...but people around Josh keep getting Covid...maybe he's to blame?! So out of an abundance of caution, he's on the phone with Dan, who is originating from Studio B for this edition of the Intentional Foul. It's game time! For games that count! We give you a rundown of the Bears and Packers heading into the season plus every week 1 matchup and our p...

Football is back as of next week and so is the weekly (hopefully) edition of the Intentional Foul! Preseason is finished...Jordan Love looks serviceable for GB in case Aaron Rodgers has a booboo. Rodgers also spent three hours with Joe Rogan. Dan says the Bears shouldn't as bad as some people think they could be. Some other NFL notes before afternoon cuts Tuesday afternoon. 11 college football gam...

We start this edition of the Intentional Foul by going through all-time great MLB closer entrances from the bullpen...and Dan drops a doozy...in light of NY Mets hurler Edwin Diaz grabbing attention with "Narco." (look it up on Youtube) After that, it's preseason games #1 for the Packers and Bears...nothing extraordinary there. Badgers are ranked in the high teens for the first AP poll. The Brewer...

Football is back! And so is another edition of the Intentional Foul. After some Food Talk to open things up, it's NFL time. Some bits from Bears and Packers camps plus news from around the league. This year's QB Tiers as well. The trade deadline has passed in Major League Baseball and the reviews for the Brewers are, overall, not positive. Couple of high profile deaths in the sports world as well....

At the behest of listener Tom...we're back with another edition of the Intentional Foul...right smack dab in the most boring part of the sports calendar. It's baseball and some golf...but the NBA is dormant and NFL training camps are still two weeks away. Not to mention college is on a break...even though a huge story broke at the tail end of last week. So a lot to go over from the past couple wee...

It's been over a month since our last episode of the Intentional Foul...and surprisingly...we didn't miss much! The high school athletic season came to a close with a local team winning a state baseball championship. Some chatter about a successful Red Hawks calendar year plus what it's like up at state no matter the sport. All the NFL offseason workouts have finished and now it's a month until tr...

Apologies for last week's slow dispersal to Apple podcasts...so we'll try it again with this week's episode of The Intentional Foul! No rundown and this time around we just start in on the most recent unpleasantness: the Bucks elimination by the Celtics from Sunday night...a recap of the series, the players, the officials and what Milwaukee could do this offseason. The Packers are paying Jaire Ale...
