Packernet Podcast: Daily Green Bay Packers Podcast

Buckle up, Packers Nation — this Tundra FM episode pulls zero punches. From Caleb Williams throwing tantrums and missing practice nets to JJ McCarthy's quick fade and Jared Goff's dome-dependent comfort zone, the North is cracking while Jordan Love quietly becomes the revelation we've been waiting for. Brick Lombardi is in rare form, delivering bars, brutal honesty, and that signature unfiltered h...

Pack Nation, strap in because Sal is fired up and vibrating like an old fridge on a hot day. While everyone's celebrating the Micah Parsons addition and dreaming of an iron curtain defense, this episode is the loud warning cry about the one group that could torpedo the entire 2026 season: the interior offensive line. Jordan Love is a king, but he's not a magician — and right now he's staring down...

Aaron Rodgers says he thought he was done in Pittsburgh once Mike Tomlin left — then McCarthy got hired and here we are. One last rodeo. Ryan's genuinely entertained. The Browns quarterback situation is objectively hilarious. Deshaun Watson is operating as the starter. Dylan Gabriel is second in line. Shedeur Sanders — the guy most people assumed would start — is third. Dylan Gabriel, by the way,...

Pack Nation, it's another late night in the Packernet After Dark call-in booth — and the callers brought everything. From Jaire Alexander's mental health journey to the Packers' historically brutal injury luck to whether Beer Cheese Benny is raising his kids right (he absolutely is), this one covers the full spectrum of what it means to be a die-hard Packer fan. 🎙️ Nico from Idaho kicks things off...

Three tracks from Brick tonight, covering a wide range of moods. First: After Dark — a horror segment where the call-in show goes full supernatural. White noise, mirrors showing reflections that aren't there, callers leaving armadillo eggs that bleed. Brick warns: some frequencies were never meant to be tuned in. Then: Why Go to the Library — an ode to AI convenience that collapses the moment the...

They want Big Sal to panic about the defense. He's not panicking. He's done the research. This offense finished fourth in expected points added per play in 2025 — while Tucker Kraft missed time, Christian Watson missed half the year, Jaden Reed missed half the year, Josh Jacobs played on one working leg from November on, and Clayton Tune took actual NFL snaps. Strip out the Clayton Tune disaster a...

A lot happened at the NFL owner's meeting and Ryan's got all of it. Nashville officially gets Super Bowl 64 in 2030. Minnesota gets the 2028 draft — good news for Packer fans within driving distance. International games are expanding to 10 per season starting in 2027, with Goodell eyeing 16 eventually. Ryan's cautiously okay with the expansion until someone says Japan, at which point he's fully on...

The schedule's out and the After Dark crew has opinions. Chris from Alabama likes the bye week placement and is already planning his trip to the Week 13 game. Kyle from Madison calls the first four weeks "layups" and dubs the Packers' social media aesthetic "local car dealership." Uncle Rico checks in from Nashville, where apparently the working part of a work trip takes a backseat to downtown. Ba...

Brick's going into the archive tonight. Three tracks, three different moods. First up: August Heat and Tempers Rise, pulled from last preseason when the timeline was on fire over dropped passes and vanilla scheme. Brick logged the panic when it was loud. He's playing it back now that everyone who was loudest in August has gone quiet about what they said in August. Then: Second City Blues. Brick ha...

The off season is over. Brian Gutekunst made his moves. Big Sal has grades. Free agency gets a B minus — Javan Hargrave was sharp, Benjamin St. Juste was necessary, Skymore on returns was overdue. But Sal isn't handing out gold stars for cleaning up your own mess. The Aaron Banks restructure and the Nate Hobbs disaster are on the same ledger, and you don't get credit for both sides of that equatio...

Instead of doing the standard win/loss prediction everyone else does, Ryan handed the 2026 Packers schedule to multiple AIs — Grok, Claude, and ChatGPT — and had them simulate the season week by week, complete with final scores, key plays, and the reason the Packers won or lost each game. Three of the four models landed at exactly 11-6. What came out isn't just a schedule prediction — it's an acci...

Big Sal has something to say about the NFL scheduling the Packers at Soldier Field on Christmas Day. On Netflix. At noon. Against the Bears. He's not happy about the disrespect. He's not happy about Ben Johnson's mouth. He's not happy about the league handing Chicago a national stage after one lucky wild card comeback where the Packers led 21-3 and somehow lost. What he IS happy about — deliriousl...

Brick Lombardi takes the chair tonight on Tundra FM with three tracks, one night, and the kind of honesty only thirty years in radio can deliver. It opens with a goodbye — a song for number 23, Jaire Alexander, the kid from Louisville who walked into this league and made receivers miserable for seven Pro Bowl-caliber years. Brick isn't litigating the contract or pretending he knows what happened b...

Ryan dives into one of the most emotional stories of the offseason as Jaire Alexander finally tells his side in a raw, vulnerable Players' Tribune piece — and Pack Daddy walks through the highs, the lows, and the mental health battle that led to him stepping away from football. Plus, the latest Packers rookie contract news, the Micah Parsons PUP list buzz, and a brutal reality check for Vikings fa...

The 2026 NFL schedule is out, and Packernet After Dark is breaking it all down in real time with Pack Nation calling in from every corner of the country. Pack Daddy walks through why this schedule might be the most gracious setup the league has handed Green Bay in years — a soft early runway while Micah Parsons is presumed out, the Bears at Lambeau in Week 5 for his return game, a perfectly placed...

Big Sal hasn't slept. Big Sal hasn't eaten. Big Sal has been pacing the living room since the 2026 Packers schedule hit the wire — and Pack Nation, he's got things to say. From the brutal road-heavy start to a Wednesday-night Thanksgiving Eve game on Netflix, this schedule is a STORM and Sal is here to walk you through every dropped flake of it. 🏈 Two Thursday Night home games at Lambeau in one s...

The 2026 NFL schedule is finally out, and Pack Daddy is breaking down every single matchup on the Green Bay Packers slate. From a Week 1 trip to Minnesota to a home finale showdown with Detroit, this year's schedule looks tailor-made for a championship push — six prime time games, the first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game against the Rams, and a five-game home stretch to close the season. But the road...

Pack Nation — Big Sal is PACING. It is eleven in the morning, the schedule does not officially drop until seven tonight, and the leaks are pouring in like a busted dam. Big Sal cannot wait. He has got coffee, three browser tabs open, a buzzing phone, and a carpet that is officially finished. Strap in — this is the schedule leak reaction in real time. 🏈 Week 1 at Lambeau vs. Vikings (rumored) — Mc...

Pack Nation, the NFL just dropped the Christmas gift nobody saw coming — and somebody got coal. The 2026 schedule release is official, and the Green Bay Packers are heading to Soldier Field on Christmas Day for a Week 16 showdown with the Chicago Bears. Pack Daddy breaks down what this primetime holiday matchup means for Green Bay's playoff push, the NFC North race, and Jonathan Gannon's defense i...

Pack Daddy is digging into the 2026 schedule release breadcrumbs, the latest Packers waiver wire moves, and a full statistical case for why Christian Watson belongs in the top 10 wide receiver conversation. Pack Nation, this is the kind of analytical deep dive the mainstream media isn't doing on the Green Bay receiver room. 🏟️ Schedule release conspiracy theory — why Week One in Chicago makes too...

Pack Daddy is back in the late-night chair and Pack Nation showed up swinging. Tonight's edition of Packernet After Dark tackles the dumbest takes floating around social media, the upcoming 2026 schedule release, and why the Jordan Love hate has officially crossed into clown territory. 🏈 Nico from Idaho breaks down the rivalry trash talk and predicts the narrative shift the moment Love smashes th...

BREAKING NEWS out of the NFL offices — the Green Bay Packers are headed to primetime in a way we've never seen before. For the first time in league history, the NFL will play a Thanksgiving Eve game, and Pack Nation is at the center of it. Jordan Love and the Packers are set to square off against Sean McVay's Los Angeles Rams in what could be one of the most-watched regular season games of the yea...

Big Sal from Peshtigo is pacing a hole in the carpet and he's got a handwritten list. The 2026 NFL schedule drops tomorrow night at 7 PM central, and Sal has SIX hopes for Pack Nation — and he's reading them to you whether you like it or not. From nine home games at Lambeau to a frozen Caleb Williams in December, this is a man who's been thinking about the schedule for three days straight and open...

Brick's scraping the vault tonight — and it shows. Four songs, two of them not even Packers tracks, and somehow it still adds up to one of the more honest hours he's put on the air. We open in the ring with Eight Limbs of War — a Muay Thai sermon with drums, straight out of Ryan's personal stash. Then we walk the division down with Suck It , a cold-cut industrial chant for the three cities that ta...

Big Sal is fired up, Pack Nation, and he's putting his contract predictions on the record. Three deals. Three players. Three numbers that are going to define the future of this Packers roster. Kraft, Watson, Wyatt — all sitting on Brian Gutekunst's desk like a stack of bills you keep meaning to deal with. Big Sal is dealing with them right now. 🧀 Tucker Kraft — Why the injury discount window is c...
