Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast.

I am your host and resident panelist, as always Ryan Schlipp.

Check us out online, packernet.com. Find me on Twitter pack underscore

dat. Well, I would love to nerd out again with you today, but I don't think we're going to have

time. There are a lot of things that I'd like to touch on today, a lot of notes we have to rip

through that have not been talked about quite yet.

Some pretty big news, some not so big news, some drama, some, the heck to my wife call it again,

juicy man drama.

And then if there's time to kill rather than jumping into the nerdy nerd stuff, we'll take some calls

because we got quite a few of those.

So that's the plan.

Tiredness just really hit me all of a sudden, so I apologize if I'm kind of lagging here.

Just out of nowhere, it's like, okay, bedtime.

First of all, I just very briefly want to touch on this Falcons quarterback situation.

I want to spend a ton of time on it because it has nothing really to do with the Packers.

But, you know, when they drafted Michael Pennix, they said that they were kind of in awe of the Green Bay Packers model.

And they were dedicated to it.

And they were going to make sure,

you know, they even said if he needed to sit for four or five years, they'd be willing to do it.

And a little more than halfway through the season, their season's basically dead. They're not going to win a freaking Super Bowl this year. Kurt Cousins is the guy. They've already paid him a

massive amount of money. He's not playing well. So what? Let him finish the season. Nope. They're going to throw pennics into this mess. What a terrible situation to throw the guy into. Maybe he's going to be great. He's actually the highest-graded rookie quarterback right now, but he threw like six passes. I hope he's great. I hope all that's... I mean, I guess I don't hope he's great.

I don't want him to be really good, but he threw like six passes. I hope he's great.
