Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins Jim & Molly ahead of Saturday's Packers vs Bears matchup in the Wild Card! They open with Evan jumping on the roast of Jim's Eminem-esque microphone handling before Evan explains why he put the Packers on his Hot Mess list -- the mounting distractions surrounding Matt LaFleur's future in Green Bay! They also discuss if LaFleur or Ben Johnson has more pressure in this game, what staff changes LaFleur could make rather than losing his job, and is anyone playing out how the Packers could get to the Super Bowl? Jim also explains why feels like both of these teams are "one and done at best", and Evan teases his final score prediction for the game!

It’s Friday, and that means a free-flowing, wide-ranging conversation — this time diving well beyond the Packers. In this segment, Craig Karmazin joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy for a thoughtful and occasionally hilarious discussion that touches everything from Hail Mary officiating controversies to why college football culture almost never translates to the NFL. 🏈 The Hail Mary problem The conversation opens with frustration over how Hail Mary plays are officiated differently than every other snap: Why obvious pass interference goes uncalled Why officials suddenly change standards at the end of games Whether teams deserve “one more play” when a receiver is clearly grabbed The group compares it to controversial late fouls in college basketball and debates whether outcomes should be decided by rule exceptions. 🚫 Targeting & intent Craig explains why targeting rules are so difficult to enforce: Intent is nearly impossible to judge at full speed Player trajectory can’t change instantly Why punishing players for physics creates bad outcomes The takeaway: player safety matters, but the current rule often fails both players and fans. 🎓 College vs NFL coaching — why culture fails The discussion shifts into one of the strongest takes of the segment: Culture matters far more in college than it ever will in the NFL. Craig explains why: College coaches mold teenagers NFL coaches manage fully formed professionals Ego count jumps from 6 to 53 overnight They debate Dan Lanning, Kurt Cignetti, Nick Saban, and why even legendary college coaches struggle when they try to make the jump. 🧠 Why the NFL is a different sport Craig argues that NFL success is less about culture and more about: Scheme adaptability Ego management Quarterback alignment Willingness to pivot Tom Coughlin is used as an example of someone who succeeded only after changing his personality. 🍻 Bonus Friday chaos The segment also includes: Chewy’s monthly bourbon hour Bears fans being the most annoying fans in Wisconsin bars Why Packers fans don’t need to announce themselves Lighthearted banter that reminds listeners this is still Jen, Gabe & Chewy 🎧 Smart debate, strong opinions, and classic Friday energy — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy with major breaking news: John Harbaugh has been fired after 18 seasons, and the NFL coaching market exploded instantly. Schefter reveals that within 45 minutes of Harbaugh’s firing, seven teams reached out to his agent — including organizations that currently have head coaches. He compares the situation to “cheating on your spouse,” explaining how quietly teams must operate when exploring upgrades without blowing up their current locker room. The conversation naturally turns to Green Bay and Matt LaFleur. Schefter explains why LaFleur’s situation is unresolved but clear: The Packers want him back LaFleur wants to be back The real issue is money, term, and approach Schefter lays out what a fair deal might look like, using Ben Johnson’s rumored salary as a baseline and stressing that how the Packers negotiate matters more than the final number. Come in low, and you risk alienating a coach who would immediately have options across the league. Other key insights include: Why Harbaugh instantly became the hottest candidate in football Why Sean McDermott (and others) should be nervous after this firing Why modern NFL teams prioritize offensive head coaches tied to quarterbacks Why LaFleur would have a job “in a moment” if he ever hit the open market How Ed Policy’s leadership style remains largely unknown — but influential The segment wraps with a preview of Packers–Bears, with Schefter calling it the best-case scenario matchup for Green Bay — but also the most devastating loss possible if it goes wrong. 🎧 A must-listen, league-wide perspective on coaching power, leverage, and why the Packers’ biggest offseason decision may already be taking shape.

David Kaplan of ESPN Chicago (with his cheese-grater hat) joins Jim & Molly to talk about Packers vs Bears, Round 3 - the playoff edition! Kap gets into his SOARING CONFIDENCE in Caleb Williams while also answering what SCARES him most about this Packers team at this point of the season! They also get a vibe check on how Bears fans after losing to the Lions ahead of this Packers rematch, why losing this game would be BEYOND devastating for Chicago, and whether Ben Johnson was indeed taking a SHOT at Matt LaFleur again when talking about not resting starters Week 18!

ESPN’s Rob Demovsky joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy after the Packers’ season finale to break down what actually mattered — and what didn’t — heading into the playoffs. 🏈 Defenders who helped themselves Demovsky highlights two players who stood out despite the game’s “preseason feel”: Barron Sorrell, who showed legitimate run-stopping ability and pass-rush upside Trevon Diggs, whose tackling and physicality could earn him real snaps in the postseason Rob explains why both players may factor into the defensive rotation even with starters returning — and why snap counts tell a story coaches won’t say publicly. 🧠 Do the Packers actually believe? Demovsky shares insight from the locker room, noting that Jordan Love addressed the team after the game, delivering a clear message that “this is the real deal now.” Rob cautions that belief is hard to measure — sometimes it’s real, sometimes it’s noise — but says this group’s messaging feels consistent and genuine. He and Chewy compare this team’s mindset to past Packers playoff teams, including the 1998 squad that knew it wasn’t quite good enough — and why this situation feels different. 💰 Matt LaFleur’s contract reality The conversation then shifts to LaFleur’s future: Rob agrees the situation has moved past “do they want him?” It’s now about money, term, and leverage LaFleur could sign an extension, play out his deal, or force a decision Demovsky stresses one key point: Either you think he’s the guy — or you don’t. The money should follow the decision. He also explains why letting a coach play out the final year is the riskiest option, citing Mike McCarthy’s Dallas ending as a cautionary tale. 🧩 Jeff Hafley & the coaching market Rob discusses why Hafley may get interviews, why the head-coach market is deeper than expected, and why his chances of landing a job may be closer to 40–60 than a lock. 🏁 Outlook vs. Chicago Demovsky closes by saying the Packers should feel confident heading into Chicago: They controlled most of the previous matchup Health should be better It’s a game Green Bay wanted Whoever wins gets a powerful narrative — either “we beat Ben Johnson twice” or “resting worked.” 🎧 Clear-eyed Packers insight, locker room context, and front-office reality — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Jesse & Tausch are joined by ESPN NFL Nation reporter Rob Demovsky! He talks about why he's interested in this week's tilt, Trevon Diggs potential impact, Clayton Tune's first Packers start, how the team is practicing, and much more!

With uncertainty at quarterback and the playoff picture tightening, ESPN’s Rob Demovsky joins Jen, Gabe, and Chewy to explain what he’s hearing, how injuries impact Green Bay’s chances, and what comes next.

Dave Kaplan of ESPN Chicago joins Jim, Matt & Molly to talk about this week's pivotal Packers vs Bears game on Saturday and how things have changed with Micah Parsons now out for the season -- Kap assures, the Bears will still come to play! They also discuss the matchup versus the Bears defense, which team now has a better roster with Parsons out for the Packers, and who is Kap taking right now -- Jordan Love or Caleb Williams? They discuss the playoff implications for whatever team loses on Saturday, and Kap gives his official score prediction for Packers and the Bears, pt.2!

ESPN’s Rob Demovsky joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy from Denver after one of the most gut-punch losses in recent Packers memory — not because of the score, but because Green Bay presumably lost Micah Parsons for the season with a torn ACL. Rob describes the stunned mood inside the locker room, including the powerful moment when Rashan Gary paused for 12 full seconds before answering how the defense moves forward. It wasn’t quite a funeral atmosphere, but it was nowhere near normal — a team absorbing immediate, season-altering bad news. Demovsky also provides key injury updates: Christian Watson was taken to the hospital as a precaution but was cleared to fly — a positive sign. Zach Tom & Evan Williams avoided season-ending injuries but are “week-to-week,” and Green Bay is running out of weeks. With Parsons out, the Packers must reinvent their defense on the fly. Rob explains: Jeff Hafley will need to lean heavily on blitz packages that worked last year. Corners will have to survive longer isolation snaps with no elite pressure to help them. The pressure gap — 64 pressures for Parsons vs. 28 for Gary — is the largest difference between any team’s No. 1 and No. 2 pass rushers in the NFL. Rashan Gary must not just lead — he must dramatically raise his level of play. The segment also covers: Whether Matthew Golden becomes a bigger factor in Watson’s absence How Christian Watson’s injury happened at the moment Green Bay could have put the game away Why Matt LaFleur’s contract extension now becomes complicated Why Ed Policy may shift more power back toward Brian Gutekunst in head-coach decisions 🎧 A clear, emotional, and detailed breakdown of the Packers’ harsh new reality — only with Rob Demovsky on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

FOX6 Sports Director Tim Van Vooren stepped into The Homer Hour to break down the Packers’ latest win over the Bears, offering sharp insight into what stood out most in Green Bay’s rivalry victory. From the physicality to the execution, Van Vooren detailed exactly what impressed him about the Packers’ performance. Defensively, the conversation turned to a key concern: How can the Packers finally slow down inside run attacks? Van Vooren outlined the adjustments Green Bay needs to make if it wants to shore up the middle of the field. He also weighed in on whether the Packers’ four-game winning streak has shifted his perception of Matt LaFleur—both as a head coach and as a suddenly more aggressive play-caller. On offense, Van Vooren discussed whether Christian Watson has truly grown into the Packers’ No. 1 wide receiver, and why the offensive line may actually be trending up despite the injury to Elgton Jenkins. A full, detailed look at where the Packers stand—and where they’re headed—as the season heats up.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy as Jordan Love officially enters the national MVP conversation. Schefter explains why Love is starting to win over skeptics, why some analysts remain hesitant, and how every elite-level performance pushes him closer to the league’s top tier. The crew also debates the Packers’ wide-receiver model, with Schefter noting that strength-in-numbers is working — but only because every WR is still on a rookie contract. Eventually, if the group becomes elite, Green Bay will face real decisions. Other major topics include: • Why the Devante Adams situation was unique — and why Goody moved on • How the NFL’s copycat tendencies may shape future WR rooms • Why teams struggle to find QB help this time of year, leading to the Philip Rivers comeback saga As the Packers prepare for Denver, Schefter shares a personal story about getting altitude sickness after returning to Colorado — and explains why the Broncos’ home-field edge is absolutely real, regardless of their schedule strength. He also reacts to Vegas installing the Packers as 2.5-point favorites, calling it both a nod to Green Bay’s rise and a surprisingly bold projection. 🎧 National NFL insight, Packers context, and big-picture debate — every week with Adam Schefter on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Fresh off calling Packers–Bears on national radio, Chris Carlin joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy with a clear takeaway: the Packers made explosive plays — but the Bears proved they’re legitimately good. Carlin explains why Chicago’s resilience stood out, especially after falling behind 14–3 in freezing weather. Many teams would have folded, but the Bears fought back, adjusted offensively, and showed why their coaching staff is one of the best in the NFC North. He also highlights: • Why Green Bay’s explosive touchdowns changed the game • How well-coached the Bears are under Ben Johnson • Why the Bears’ fight and execution surprised him • How the NFC race remains wide open after Week 12 Carlin and the crew react to what this matchup means for both teams moving forward — and why the Packers’ big-play ability and the Bears’ coaching foundation could define the rest of the season. 🎧 National perspective, sharp analysis, and real football insight — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

ESPN’s Rob Demovsky joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy after the Packers’ 28–21 win over the Bears to evaluate what Green Bay proved — and what still needs answering. Rob highlights Jordan Love’s biggest stride: consistent downfield throws, with two touchdowns traveling 20+ yards for the second straight week. He also explains why the Bears are legitimately good, crediting coaching, offensive structure, and their ability to stay competitive even after falling behind 14–3. But he warns Green Bay must be ready for Chicago’s best shot when the teams meet again at Soldier Field. The conversation shifts to officiating, including: • Keyshawn Nixon’s unsportsmanlike flag despite being grabbed by the neck • The baffling ruling on what should’ve been an interception • Why Luke Musgrave’s overturned catch left both sides confused Demovsky also digs into the Packers’ pass-rush situation, noting Kingsley Enagbare’s rise and Rashan Gary’s lack of impact despite a massive contract — and why Gary’s 2025 salary may force tough decisions. The crew wraps with the Packers’ wide receiver picture: Christian Watson’s maturation, Jaden Reed’s return, Romeo Dobbs’ disappearing production, and why health might finally allow Green Bay to unlock its full offensive identity. 🎧 Insight, honesty, and real Packers football talk — every Monday with Rob Demovsky on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

They get into the Giannis situation, including whether he deserves the majority of blame for Milwaukee's situation, and is it just time to let him go and get as much trade value as possible?

ESPN’s Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy ahead of a massive Packers–Bears showdown to break down the NFC North race, why the division could be decided in the next three weeks, and why Chicago’s surprising rise has changed everything. Schefter explains why Jordan Love’s national reputation remains split — with analysts like Dan Orlovsky and Mike Tannenbaum praising him, while others like Chris Canty and Rex Ryan remain skeptical. He reveals a key stat: only three NFL quarterbacks rank top-five in both QBR and passer rating — Jordan Love, Drake Maye, and Matthew Stafford — and what that really says about Love’s season. The conversation moves to: • Chicago’s surge behind Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams • Why Detroit’s coordinator turnover and injuries derailed its progress • How the NFC playoff field is shaping up, and why no team — Philly, Dallas, Detroit — is safe • What makes Packers–Bears so appealing for the NFL and why it landed the #1 FOX broadcast crew Plus: Schefter shares his thoughts on snow-day survival, why he’s officially done shoveling at age 59, and how his family handles winter the “it takes a village” way. 🎧 Jen, Gabe & Chewy deliver insider access, sharp debate, and genuine NFL perspective every weekday on ESPN Milwaukee.

ESPN’s Rob Demovsky joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to break down why Sunday’s Packers–Bears showdown is the most meaningful matchup between the rivals in more than a decade — and statistically, the most significant since 1932. With both teams well over .500 and first place in the NFC North at stake, Rob explains why this game has real weight. The crew digs into Chicago’s blowout win over Philadelphia and whether it proves anything, why teams continue to attack Green Bay on the ground despite strong run-defense rankings, and how Micah Parsons’ presence forces opponents to adjust their entire game plan. Rob also details the fallout from Devonte Wyatt’s injury, what Nazir Stackhouse, Colby Wooden, Karl Brooks, and the practice-squad depth must now provide, and how Jeff Hafley may need to adjust schematically. Plus: What Green Bay can truly trust on offense, why Jaden Reed’s return is massive, whether Matt LaFleur will keep Jordan Love aggressive, and if Love has shown enough in cold-weather games to feel confident at Lambeau in December. 🎧 Packers insight with honesty, context, and smart analysis — every week with Rob Demovsky on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

GKB President Craig Karmazin joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy following the Packers’ Thanksgiving win to break down the most important question in Green Bay: Who’s more valuable — Jordan Love or Micah Parsons? Craig argues that while Parsons is having a historic defensive season, Love’s growth and consistency make him the true foundation of the Packers’ success. The conversation dives into why some fans are still hesitant to embrace Love, how his season compares to past Packers quarterbacks, and why the NFC is more balanced — and more winnable — than people realize. Craig explains why Green Bay can still be a postseason threat, but also why nothing is guaranteed in a conference where “good teams lose to bad teams every week.” Plus: reflections on team confidence, what separates this Packers roster from others around the league, and why stacking wins—not style points—will determine whether Green Bay belongs in the NFC’s top tier. 🎧 Packers insight, honest debate, and Wisconsin sports energy — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.
