Packernet Podcast: Green Bay Packers

Pack Nation, things got real on today's episode. Ryan digs into the Diana Rossini situation — not for the gossip, but for what it reveals about the cozy, closed-loop culture between NFL reporters, coaches, and front offices. When the biggest names in NFL media go silent on a story breaking in their own backyard, that silence tells you everything.

Pack Nation calls in and Pack Daddy delivers — this one has everything. From pompous analysts who wasted their education on vocabulary nobody asked for, to the slow death of fan patience in the age of TikTok brain, tonight's After Dark is a full-throttle conversation about who we are as a fanbase and where this team is headed.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is fired up — and this time, he's not here to bury Gutekunst. He's here to explain why losing Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks in the same offseason might be the best thing that ever happened to Matthew Golden.

With the 2026 NFL Draft just 10 days away, Ryan and caller Nico dig deep into the running back pool — breaking down Day 2 through Day 7 prospects, separating the highlight tape frauds from the real deal, and figuring out which backs could actually stick on an NFL roster.

Good evening, Green Bay. Brick Lombardi is back behind the mic, and Tundra FM is firing on all cylinders with four original tracks, zero apologies, and exactly the energy the frozen tundra deserves.

Big Sal is fired up — and this time it's not a complaint. It's a celebration. With less than two weeks until the 2026 NFL Draft, Brian Gutekunst has used 23 of his 30 allowed top-30 visits, and Sal has receipts for every single one. This episode? It's all about the five cornerback visits — more than any other position in this entire class — and exactly what that tells us about where this roster stands heading into draft weekend.

With the 2026 NFL Draft just over a week away, Ryan puts a bow on the Jonathan Gannon cornerback scheme fit series before diving into a full seven-round mock draft — and the results might surprise you.

It's another packed night on the Packernet After Dark call-in show, and the crew does NOT disappoint. From a detailed Packers roster breakdown to one of the offseason's juiciest NFL scandals — plus a surprisingly passionate debate about bicycles and BBQ marinades — this episode has something for everyone (or everything for someone).

The Draft Room is diving deep into the 2026 tight end class through the lens of Bob McGinn's scout series — and the scouts could not agree less. Pack Daddy breaks down the top eight prospects with notes from up to five different NFL scouts per player, and the conflict in opinions is both hilarious and genuinely illuminating.

It's an April Sunday. No kickoff. No Lambeau. Just Brick Lombardi in his chair, doing what he does — filling the void between now and training camp with music, storytelling, and the kind of Packers truth that hits harder when there's no game to distract you. This episode of Tundra FM is a full journey through the frozen soul of Pack Nation: Frozen Warfare — A rap battle hymn built on 60-plus years of Packers-Vikings dominance, complete with the receipts (66–58, 13 straight at Lambeau, six straight postseason appearances) Them Bears — A heavy, drop-tuned tribute to Chicago's grief and that 12-and-1 season that ended on a low throw Bullard of Broken Dreams — A Green Day-inspired ode to Javon Bullard: Baldwin High to national champs to second-round Packer patrolling the secondary alone Still Here — The closer. Three first-round exits. Jordan Love carrying weight. The Bears taking the North. And 40,000 people showing up in December anyway — because what this fan base has goes deeper than a scoreboard Subscri

Big Sal from Peshtigo is in the recliner, staring at his phone like it insulted his mother — because the Packers just shipped Dontayvion Wicks to Philadelphia for two Day 3 picks. Two. Day. Three. Picks. And Sal has feelings about it. Lots of them. The case for the trade: No first-rounder means every pick matters, and if Wicks wasn't going to be a featured piece of this offense, turning him into draft capital is defensible Gutey logic The case against: With Romeo Dobbs already gone, the receiver room behind Jaden Reed is now dangerously thin — and Sal isn't sugarcoating it What has to happen next: Matthew Golden has to take that Year 1 leap, and those Day 3 picks have to produce now, not in three years — Jordan Love deserves a full room come September Big Sal's final verdict: The philosophy is sound, but the execution has to show up in the draft room in two weeks — or we're all going to regret knowing what a good hunting rifle feels like Subscribe, leave a review, and drag a Packer fan into the

Pack Nation, it's another late night in the lab and the callers are bringing the heat. Ryan opens the lines and things get spicy fast — a clip from a basement podcast crew confidently ranking Brock Purdy above Jordan Love sends Ryan over the edge, and honestly? He's not wrong to be fired up. Then Andy from Kansas drops some real wisdom about fan patience, entitlement, and why we've lost the grace we had back when we were scared of Dallas in the '90s. Andy's multi-part call breaks down why Packer fans' short time horizons are killing their ability to appreciate a legitimately great roster — and Ryan connects it to a marriage analogy that actually lands Garrett from Southern Illinois makes the case that this offense, when healthy, could be the best in the NFL — and Ryan goes on record agreeing, plus makes a bold Matthew Golden prediction Tundra FM love is pouring in from callers, with ideas ranging from Lambeau tailgate promotions to using caller voices in fake AI-generated ads (Nico from Idaho, we're looking

Brick Lombardi is back behind the mic, and Tundra FM is anything but safe tonight. Four original tracks cut deep into what it means to wear the Green and Gold — from the raw, first-breath energy of initiation to the bone-cold fury of Frozen Hell, all the way to a closing tribute that'll leave you sitting in silence long after it ends. "Initiation" opens the show with a gut-punch meditation on transformation — every champion forged in the furnace of doubt "Frozen Hell" turns Lambeau into a hunting ground as the Packers dismantle the Vikings with Gary crushing, Watson striking, and Love commanding "Laughing at the Enemy" goes bar-for-bar on the entire NFC North collapse — Bears metrics, Vikings math, Lions bravado — all exposed, all embarrassed "The Quiet Fire" closes with a stunning tribute to Bart Starr: five titles, not a single word wasted, and a kind of faith that bronze can't hold Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts — Brick says it himself: you do not want to miss what's coming. Go Pack Go. #Tu

Big Sal from Peshtigo has heard enough about the Bears' slow-motion exit from Chicago — and thanks to Randy in Minnesota, he's doing something about it. Today, Sal extends a formal olive branch to the Bears faithful: the official Big Sal Green and Gold Relocation Package. Five conditions. Non-negotiable. Very achievable. The case for a clean slate — no repercussions for anything that happened in that previous navy-and-orange football life Why the Green Bay Packers are the only franchise in the NFL that cannot be dragged to a petroleum district by a billionaire in a tax dispute — and why that matters The Condition Five gauntlet: Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams, and why policy positions are sometimes more important than personal grievances Why Bears fans who make the switch may end up being the best Packer fans in Pack Nation — they've lived the alternative Real Bears fans have been propping up a leaning barn for decades. The door is open. Let Sal do the talking. Subscribe, leave five stars, and tell a Bears f

It's a packed Easter weekend edition of Packernet After Dark, and Pack Nation showed up in full force. Pack Daddy smoked a ham, got bombarded with BBQ questions, and somehow turned it all into one of the most entertaining call-in nights of the season. The regulars are all here — Uncle Rico is fired up about Joe Thomas's bizarre take on "unleashing" Jordan Love, Randy from Minnesota is spreading holiday cheer, Batman is grilling Ryan on brisket technique and cold-weather cooking, and Ben from Minnesota needs urgent help converting his four-year-old daughter from a Vikings fan before it's too late.

The draft is closing in, and Pack Nation's questions are getting sharper — so Ryan's bringing the receipts. This episode of Draft Room digs into one of the most pressing questions surrounding Green Bay's draft position: with no first-round pick and only seven total selections, what can the Packers realistically do to maneuver on draft day? Using the Rich Hill trade value model, Ryan walks through the cold, hard math of what moving up or moving back in the second round actually costs — and the numbers might surprise you. Spoiler: if you're dreaming of Green Bay leaping to the top of Round 2, you better be ready to sacrifice a lot more than you think. Caller Garrett from Illinois breaks down the question Pack Nation has been asking: could Green Bay move up to 40-something in Round 2, and what would that compensation actually look like? Ryan runs the trade value numbers on multiple scenarios — trading up, trading back, squeezing in extra picks — and explains why almost every path leads to disappoin
