Reporting As Eligible

On this draft special Reporting as Eligible, Paul and JR touch base with Tyler Brooke to explore who's going to be good, who isn't, and most importantly, who will be a Packer. And as always, listener questions!

On a Super Preview of the Big Game and some new coaches, Paul and JR discuss the future of the Packer coaching staff, Jim Leonhard, Seattle’s defense, Browns Pro Bowlers, and the Patriot’s truly lucky schedule. And as always, listener questions.

Paul discusses which unites are the best and worst in the North, drama on the beat, the Bears moving, the Bears playing, and the last few questions. Also, the song is called "Matt of Flower."

Paul is here to answer the rest of your questions, and reminds everyone to cash out.

On a brand new Reporting as Eligible, Paul, JR, and Matt wrap up a terrible playoff loss to the worst possible team to lose to, what went wrong, and what can be better in the future. Maybe get a kicker that isn't terrible, or some guys who can tackle on special teams, or maybe don't play hurt Jacobs. Plus, how to fix the second half pacing issues, praise for Matthew Golden from MOST of us,...

On a new Reporting as Eligible, Matt, JR, and Paul discuss Stephen King mostly off mic before turning to the game, and what if anything we can learn. They then move on to the Bears, and what we can expect in the third and final meeting between the two. Plus, do the Packers cheap out on coaches? Do they realize Gary is cooked? And is Diggs going to save the secondary? And of course, listener questi...

Paul and Rcon tackle the defensive performance, which involved very little tackling. The Packers will make the playoffs and they will likely be facing the Bears. Are they doomed? Will everyone copy the Ravens' plan? Or is Derrick Henry really a unicorn that can't be replicated, and we should still have hope? Will getting healthier help, or can anything else be done? And as always, listener...

On a holiday episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul and JR discuss the debacle that was the Bears' game, and whether we should really worry much given how lucky the Packers were with the results on Sunday. Plus Malik Willis is awesome, Rashan Gary is not, and apparently you're sick of asking about Keisean but we're talking about him anyway. Plus, how to deal with uppity Bears fans, our...

On an all new Reporting as Eligible, JR, Paul, and Special Guest/RAE question-asker extraordinaire Mark Podskarbi tackle the fallout from the Broncos game and immediately tear their ACLs in doing so. Have the guys calmed down? Is 2026 over too? Or does a lackluster field of competitive teams mean that hope is still alive, even this year? They also talk vacation destinations, middle names, meats, r...

On a new Reporting as Eligible, Paul, JR, and Tyler revel in Bear misery...but not enough Bear misery for Paul's taste, as much of Chicago is stoked by this loss. The boys point out why you shouldn't be happy about getting torched by Christian Watson and famous cornerback Bo Melton, why Josh Jacobs may have saved the season, the trouble with the late run defense, Keisean Nixon roasts, and...

On a new Reporting as Eligible, the guys discuss the Lions game, whether beating a compromised injury plagued team is really that good, and then they turn to the Bears where they cover whether beating the Eagles is really all that. There's McDuffie praise, talk of one-score games, DVOA, Ben Johnson and the roof-punching guy, Love as an MVP candidate, Jordan Morgan not playing, Devonte Wyatt, a...

So, with Jordan's shoulder all hurt and Emanuel Wilson going crazy on Minnesota, did Matt learn bad lessons? Or was this a just the smart plan against one of the worst quarterbacks of all time. And will the show be longer than the game was? Tune in and find out with Paul and Matt!

On a new Reporting as Eligible, the guys report on how this game grew on them, how Jordan Love was secretly very good to the extent that it was debatably the best game of his career, how Malik Willis is a very good backup, and how everyone need to learn to catch, and also return punts. They guys also take on Rashan Gary, Stone Temple Pilots, sideline urination, hard playing surfaces, wind, and sev...

Paul had some bourbon and his voice was giving out. But he made it!

On a post-loss, record-setting Reporting as Eligible, the guys discuss the future of Matt LaFleur, what the Packers should have done, kicking, injuries, how Jordan messed up fourth down, procedure penalties, Jeff Hafley's defense, and just a ton of listener questions.

On a brand spanking new Reporting as Eligible, Paul and JR discuss the abominable loss to Carolina, and just how much heat Matt LaFleur should take when there was quite a lot of other things that went wrong out of his control. Managers do not control injuries and wind. But they do control bubble screens and when to go for it on 4th and 8, and so the boys still let him have it a bit. What's lif...

On a brand new Reporting as Eligible, Matt, Paul, and JR discuss why this game was so fun, even though they were far from perfect and still left some points on the field. Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft rule, Micah Parsons is transcendent, Jordan Love completed 20 straight passes, and JR did a Matt. Plus listener questions!

It's just Paul answering EVERY question in the 2025 Bourboncast.

On an all new Reporting as Eligible, Paul and JR try to figure out why this win was underwhelming. Is it the state of the league as a whole, which is weirdly down? Or is it just the Packer pace of play disguising their efficient underlying performance? Or it is just too much time talking about Ohio and Joe Flacco? The guys figure it out, while also giving you some facts on the pass rush, Jordan Lo...

Let's take a look at the Bengals, and whether this is the gimme it seems like. Plus, are there any good teams in the league?

On a brand new RAE, Matt, Tyler, and a concussed Paul discuss the tie, the bloody frickin tie, and all of the normal Packer things that led to the 40-40 tie. At least it was a Scorigami. The listener questions are out for blood, demanding answers on Rich B, the offensive line, and a head coach with absolutely no killer instinct or time management acumen. Can the wrongs be righted? Going in to the...

On an all new Reporting as Eligible, Paul and JR discuss the hundred things that went wrong, which were just bad luck, which were now, and which are real actual problems. They also tackle (heh) Jordan Morgan and the offensive line, the consistently bad special teams, the conservative Matt LaFleur, the still amazing defense, and Russell Wilson trying to murder a crossbar. And of course, listener qu...

On this episode of RAE they guys mostly make puns and literary references, but also discuss how the Packers killed another elite opponent even though they could have scored even more. And now they get to play the Browns who are at least maybe not as bad as they seem because they played some tough teams, but also are probably bad. We also laugh at the Bears, and remind everyone that Harold Fannin r...

On an all new Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt, and JR discuss a dominating win over the Lions, the real impact of Micah Parsons, show some love to the rest of the defense, and discuss whether they took their foot off the gas just a bit too early. The boys also talk about the absence of Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, whether the Lions are actually, you know, good, whether the Vikings or Bears may b...

Paul, Matt and JR kick off the season with a preview of the Lions, Micah Parsons' salary cap implications, injuries to both teams, NFC North predictions, Ben Johnson to John Morton, the awful spelling of TeSlaa, and of course, listener questions!
