    Ben and Josh react to Bill Barnwell ranking the Packers’ offensive playmakers 17th in the NFL and debate whether that undersells Green Bay’s group.

Jason Wilde joins to explain why Tucker Kraft could reset the tight end market, why the Packers’ skill group should be better with clearer roles, and why Taylor Jenkins is the best reason for Bucks optimism. The guys also discuss MLB’s next CBA proposal, deferred contracts, the Dodgers’ spending model, and why the Brewers’ sustained success should be appreciated.

    Kyle and Brust open the show with Kyle preparing for his wedding hiatus, but the focus quickly returns to the fallout from Giannis Antetokounmpo being traded to Miami. The guys react to Jim Owczarski’s reporting on the dysfunction inside the Bucks after Mike Budenholzer’s exit and how much influence Giannis had on major decisions. They debate whether Giannis misled fans, whether the Bucks lost their culture, and why the organization unraveled after the championship core broke apart. Ben and Kyle also build their “pie chart of blame,” splitting responsibility between Giannis, ownership, John Horst, Doc Rivers, bad luck, and even Wisconsin taxes.

    Hour 2: Are You Smarter Than the Bucks?
    Jun 25 2026

The guys then return to the Bucks’ collapse, playing Jim Owczarski’s comments on Wisconsin’s Midday News about years of communication breakdowns between ownership, John Horst, and Giannis. Kyle argues that the franchise now has a chance to reset without every decision being filtered through Giannis’ reaction, while Ben questions whether John Horst can build without a superstar already in place. The hour also touches on John Hammond’s role in drafting Giannis, the Brewers’ next expected Jacob Misiorowski start, and Ben’s chaotic late-night emergency vet trip with his dog.
