Packernet Podcast: Daily Green Bay Packers Podcast

🌙 Pack Daddy is back with another wild ride through Packernet After Dark, and this one's loaded. Andy from Kansas leads off with a marathon set of calls dissecting Brian Gutekunst's six-pick draft haul, the absolute farce that is the "consensus big board," and the brewing chaos around the 2026 vs. 2027 draft class value gap. Spoiler: nobody's giving up next year's picks for a reason. 🎙️ Then thin...

Brick Lombardi cracks open the vault for a four-track journey that starts in the trenches against Cleveland and somehow ends up in a Lambeau trap house. Thirty years in radio and he's still finding new neighborhoods inside this frozen cathedral. Pull up a stool, the signal's strong tonight. Inside this episode of Tundra FM: Dog Pound Showdown — A cold-war anthem revisiting that defensive slugfest...

Sit down, Pack Nation. Pull off the road. Tell the wife to hold dinner. Big Sal's got a Sal Story Time so dark it kept him up at night and had him staring at the bird feeder for two hours before he could even eat his sandwich. Every team in the NFL has skeletons — but the Green Bay Packers hold a record nobody wants and nobody talks about: we are the ONLY franchise in league history to draft a con...

🚨 BIG SAL IS LOSING HIS MIND 🚨 Sal pulled up the free agent board with his morning coffee and nearly spit a bagel across the kitchen — Joey Bosa is STILL unsigned in May, and Brian Gutekunst hasn't picked up the phone. With Micah Parsons rehabbing an ACL and Jonathan Gannon's rotational pass rush built on fresh bodies, how is the most available veteran edge rusher in football not in green and go...

The Green Bay Packers exercised the fifth year option on Lucas Van Ness — and somehow ESPN thinks that's the dumbest move of the offseason. Ryan breaks down the tape, the cap math, and the logic (or lack thereof) behind the wave of criticism coming from multiple ESPN Milwaukee and Madison personalities who seem convinced the Packers just made a catastrophic mistake. The $14 million myth: Ryan meth...

Pack Nation, we tried to stay on the rails. We really did. But when Uncle Rico calls three times in one night and Bear Mace Plus has a flashbang mode, all bets are off. Packernet After Dark went full chaos tonight, and honestly? Wouldn't have it any other way. Sports Illustrated & the Van Ness Fifth Year Option — Ryan fires back at the haters dunking on the Lukas Van Ness fifth-year option, breaki...

Brick Lombardi cracks open the vault. Four tracks. Four moods. One very bad night for a Bears fan in Naperville, Illinois. The episode opens on the dance floor with GO PACK GO — an electro-pop, crunk-influenced banger built for the club and dedicated to the women who bleed green and gold. Standards are green and gold. If you don't know that, Brick does. From there, the energy shifts hard into PRES...

Big Sal from Peshtigo is in the recliner, meatball sandwich in hand, and he is FIRED UP. ESPN Milwaukee and ESPN Madison — the hometown guys, the cheese curd crowd — are calling the Lukas Van Ness fifth-year option a bust move. Thirteen point eight million dollars guaranteed, and they're calling it stupid. Sal is here to tell them exactly how wrong they are, receipts in hand, like a man returning...

Pack Nation, Ryan is fired up — and this one turned into something special. What started as a quick take on Lucas Van Ness's fifth year option turned into a full-on intervention for Packer fans who've convinced themselves that nobody on this roster is worth paying. Buckle up. The Rasini Rabbit Hole: Ryan goes deep on the conspiracy theory nobody is saying out loud — could The Athletic's investigat...

Pack Daddy is stir crazy, the callers are locked in, and somehow the whole thing turns into one of the most unexpectedly insightful nights in After Dark history. Ryan opens with a restless energy he can't shake — bungee jumping, road trips to Maine, a pint of ice cream — but the calls keep coming and so does the football. Daniel from California breaks down exactly how the Packers' 2025 draft class...

Pack Nation, pour something warm and dim the lights — Brick Lombardi is opening the vault. Thirty years in radio, half of them cold, all of them worth it, and tonight Tundra FM is digging into four tracks that lived inside the seasons and knew something before the rest of us did. This is what happens when Packers football gets set to music. 🧱 Iron Wall — A defensive anthem for a unit that doesn't...

Pack Nation, Big Sal from Peshtigo is FIRED UP — and for once, it's not because Brian Gutekunst did something dumb. It's because the man might've actually done something SMART. Sal cracks open the Jayden Reed extension, sees the sneaky cap-flat structure, and connects the dots to what's REALLY coming next: Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft. 🔥 Why the Reed contract is a "tackle box" — looks big, b...

Pack Nation, the gang is back together and the late-night chaos is in full swing! Snacks emerges from his post-Bears-collapse hibernation, an attorney named Don Bryber leaves a cryptic message about Nico, and Ryan walks through the lingering free agent questions facing Brian Gutekunst as the roster crystallizes at 91 men. 🦡 Snacks defends trading 7th-round picks for a kicker and unveils the rooki...

Brick Lombardi is back behind the mic and tonight Tundra FM went four deep — four songs, four genres, zero apologies. We opened with "Green Voltage," a German industrial metal anthem about that Pittsburgh comeback nobody saw coming. Down 16-7 on national TV and the Packers ripped the script apart. Then we honored the legend himself — Clay Matthews gets the tribute he deserves with "The Predator,"...

Big Sal did not sleep last night. He was up until two in the morning reading draft grades, pacing the living room in his socks, and now he has something to say about it. Sports Illustrated gave the Green Bay Packers a D for their 2026 draft class, and Sal is here to burn that grade to the ground — pick by pick, stat by stat, slippers and all. Sal makes the case for Brandon Cisse as a Day 2 steal:...

Ryan dives headfirst into two stories dominating the NFL news cycle — one that keeps getting more shocking by the day, and one that's completely manufactured nonsense. First up, the Diana Rossini-Mike Vrabel situation has escalated far beyond hotel photos. Ryan walks through the full timeline of new evidence, including a Spotify playlist discovery that connects some very uncomfortable dots, dating...

The draft dust has settled and Pack Nation is calling in HOT. Tonight's After Dark crew breaks down every Packers pick from the quality-over-quantity approach to the late-round gambles, and the consensus is clear — this might be Gute's best draft yet. Plus, the callers are already handing out nicknames and cooking up Lambeau traditions for the new guys. Beer Cheese Benny kicks things off with love...

Brick Lombardi opens up the vault and the draft week jukebox is stacked. The Packers took a corner — Brandon Cisay out of South Carolina, 52nd overall — and Pack Nation already gave the kid a full tongue twister anthem before he's unpacked a suitcase. 41-inch vertical, 4.41 forty, and a chorus that might require dental insurance to perform. 🎤 "Cisay on Tundra FM" — a rapid-fire tongue twister tra...

Big Sal is back to close out the NFC North draft review series, and he saved the easiest roast for last — the Detroit Lions. After falling from 15-2 and an NFC Championship appearance to a 9-8 couch season, Brad Holmes answered with the safest, most vanilla draft class Big Sal has ever seen. Blake Miller at 17 is the meatloaf of draft picks — nobody's mad, nobody's excited, he just exists. Meanwhi...

Ryan's back and loaded with takes on this episode of the Packernet Podcast. From new jersey number reveals — including Brandon C'Saye rocking #2 and Javon Bullard's switch to #7 — to the bombshell report that 21 of 32 NFL teams want to eliminate the seventh round of the draft, this one covers a LOT of ground. The case for and against cutting the 7th round, including the massive financial gap betwe...

The draft is done, Pack Nation — and the Packernet After Dark crew is breaking it all down live with the callers. Ryan and the gang go pick by pick through Green Bay's 2026 class, from the defensive tackle trade-up to the Jagger Burton vs. Brian Parker debate at center, and yes — drafting a kicker named Smack in the late rounds. Omar, Kyle from Madison, Beer Cheese Benny, and Nico all check in wit...

Big Sal is FIRED UP, Pack Nation — and for once, it's not out of anger. It's pure, unfiltered joy. The Minnesota Vikings just turned in their 2026 draft class and it reads like a parody. A first-round defensive tackle with two foot surgeries who broke his foot AGAIN at the combine. A fullback — yes, a FULLBACK — in the fifth round, in the year 2026. And a quarterback room so shaky their own front...

The draft is in the books, and Pack Nation showed up to break it all down live. From the second-round corner to the sixth-round kicker that stole the show, this one had everything — hot takes, tongue twisters, and at least one audible scream when Jagger Burton's name got called. Beer Cheese Benny goes from skeptic to believer on Chris McClellan after watching the film, and the crew debates whether...

Brick Lombardi is back in the booth and Draft Weekend just gave him a full album's worth of material. This is Tundra FM's draft special — four picks, four tracks, zero filler. "Deny" — Danny Dennis Sutton, EDGE, Penn State: 17 sacks. 25 TFLs. Four rounds of silence, then Green Bay called. Brick lays down a track built on patience and pass rush violence — Sutton's fall is everyone else's loss. "Mov...

Big Sal from Peshtigo cannot let it go — and honestly, why would he? The Chicago Bears just walked into the 2026 NFL Draft with a broken pass rush and a prayer, and walked out with three tight ends, a gadget receiver, and a sixth-round defensive tackle. Pack Nation, this is not a bit. This actually happened. The Bears traded UP in Day 2 for their THIRD tight end while ranking near the bottom of th...
