You feel this nervousness on the phone there?

Sir, I've been trying to make an urgent phone call up there.

I don't think it's something I want to do on an overseas phone.

You got to make some phone calls.

Hanging up the phone.

Prank call her, prank call her!

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to Packernet After Dark.

This is the call-in show, the Packernet Podcast Network.

If you'd like to call in, if you'd like to participate in the show, please feel free to do so.

The phone number here is 608501-0718.

New callers go directly to the front of the line.

Doesn't look like we have any new callers, but we have a lot of callers.

So let's get started with Randy from Minnesota.

Hi, Ryan, it's Randy from Minnesota.

I've been occupying my time, this dead zone. I'm re-watching Packer games from 2011-12 that's been on the NFL network.

And just made me think what I heard the announcers were talking about, how I think

it might pertain to Valentine is how Sam Shields basically came out of nowhere.

No one expected anything of him.

And during that playoff run that took him to the Super Bowl, you know, he became an item.

And started out the next year was really good.

And that, I don't know, I'm kind of tying that in, probably wishfully, hopefully maybe through green and gold goggles, thinking this is how it might work for Valentine.

Actually, I'm really hoping it does, but I thought that it was interesting that it seems like the cycle could be repeating itself.
