  ootball is officially back, and we’re kicking off the regular season with an NFC North Happy Hour.We break down some of the biggest surprises from Week 1, starting with the Packers falling to the Vikings after controlling much of the game.

  Packers GM for a Day Part 1: Big Changes in Green Bay 04.09.2026 20min

  A Bears fan takes over the Green Bay Packers in Part 1 of our Packers GM for a Day episode.The setup is the same as the rest of the series: assume Green Bay finished last in the NFC North and make four moves to try to get the team back on track.That leads to a major trade idea, a surprising target from a division rival, a big decision involving Jordan Love, and a franchise-changing move at head coach.We also get into the Josh Jacobs situation, talk through his future in Green Bay, and somehow end up with a Matt LaFleur and Matt Eberflus love skit, a Jordan Love hype video, and a Minions banana outro.Do these moves actually make the Packers better, or would you take Green Bay in a completely different direction?

  GM for a Day: Rebuilding the Lions With Patrick Surtain, Baron Browning and a Sam LaPorta Decision 28.08.2026 27min

  The GM for a Day series continues, and this time Dill, our Vikings fan this week, gets control of the Detroit Lions.He starts with a move that gets everyone’s attention, but the deeper he gets into the plan, the more the room starts to turn on him.A big trade, a defensive addition, a tough roster decision and one franchise-changing idea lead to a much bigger debate about whether Detroit is actually getting better or just creating new problems.Things get especially interesting once the conversation turns to the Lions’ Super Bowl window and whether this team would still be close enough to contend after all of Dill’s moves.And of course, we have to grade the whole thing at the end.What would YOU do if you took over the Lions? Did Dill make Detroit better, or did he make things worse?New episodes every Friday at:4:20 AM Pacific Time6:20 AM Central Time7:20 AM Eastern TimeSubscribe for more NFC North debates, predictions and GM for a Day challenges.

  Should the Vikings Give Up on J.J. McCarthy Already? 21.08.2026 24min

  The GM for a Day miniseries continues with Part 2 of our Minnesota Vikings episode, and somehow the Packers fan running the Vikings managed to make our resident Vikings fan even angrier.This time we get into the real argument behind the rebuild. Should Minnesota actually give J.J. McCarthy a full shot, or is it time to stop waiting and take advantage of a loaded quarterback class? We also debate the Jordan Addison decision, the Jonathan Taylor move, whether this roster actually got better and if this plan even accomplished the original goal of making the Vikings a contender.Things get a little heated, the Justin Fields comparisons start flying, and by the time we get to the grades, somebody is getting an F.Vikings fans, feel free to fail this entire plan too.What grade would you give the rebuild, and would you stick with J.J. McCarthy or start over at quarterback?New episodes every Friday at:4:20 AM Pacific Time6:20 AM Central Time7:20 AM Eastern TimeSubscribe for more NFC North debates, predictions and GM for a Day challenges.

  Did This Vikings Rebuild Go Too Far? GM for a Day Challenge 14.08.2026 32min

  The GM for a Day miniseries continues, and this time a Packers fan gets handed the Minnesota Vikings for Part 1 of our Vikings GM episode.After a last-place finish in the NFC North, the plan is to get Minnesota back on track, and apparently that means tearing a pretty good chunk of the roster apart. There’s a big Jordan Addison decision, a splash in free agency, some tough calls on veteran players and a plan to reset the future at quarterback.Our resident Vikings fan hated basically every minute of it. Some of the moves do make sense though. Or maybe the Packers fan is just being vindictive.And if one of the free-agent moves sounds a little outdated by the time you hear this, just know it made a lot more sense when we recorded it. The NFL had other plans.Let us know what you think and give the rebuild your own grade. Vikings fans, feel free to give this one an automatic fail.Would you approve these moves if you were running the Vikings? What would you change?New episodes every Friday at:4:20 AM Pacific Time6:20 AM Central Time7:20 AM Eastern TimeSubscribe for more NFC North debates, predictions and GM for a Day challenges.

A few big names come up, and some of the ideas definitely sparked more debate than others.We go through the full plan, argue over what actually makes sense and give the Bears rebuild a final grade.Would you approve the moves?

  What We Learned Building the Perfect NFC North Roster 24.07.2026 15min

  After building our perfect NFC North rosters, we look back at what the exercise taught us about every team in the division.Does Detroit still have the best overall roster? Is Justin Jefferson being wasted in Minnesota? What do the Bears still need to prove? And does Green Bay have a truly dominant offensive weapon, or are they relying too much on spreading the ball around?We also put the finished rosters into a Super Bowl simulator to see which team would actually win.Let us know in the comments which roster you think was the best.New episodes every Friday at:4:20 AM Pacific6:20 AM Central7:20 AM EasternSubscribe for more NFC North debates from Packers, Bears, Lions and Vikings fans.

  Caleb Williams Got the Madden Cover… But Did the Bears Just Get Cursed? 18.06.2026 33min

  Caleb Williams is on the Madden cover, and people have a lot to say about it.We talk about why it’s cool to see a Bears player finally get the cover, why Caleb makes sense for Madden, and why some fans still think he has not done enough yet. We also get into the other names people brought up, like Matthew Stafford and Myles Garrett, and whether Madden picked Caleb because of the player he already is or the star they think he is becoming.Then we get into the backlash. The cover, the nails, the “he does not deserve it” talk, and why some of the hate feels bigger than football. And of course, we had to talk about the Madden Curse and whether Bears fans should actually be nervous.New episodes every Thursday.NFC North: West Coast EditionPackers. Bears. Lions. Vikings.

  JJ McCarthy Has a Higher Upside Than Jordan Love? 14.05.2026 21min

  In this episode of NFC North: West Coast Edition, we get into the Jordan Love vs. JJ McCarthy debate after some of the crew argued that JJ might have higher upside long term. While everyone agreed Jordan Love is the better quarterback right now and has already proven a lot more in the NFL, the discussion turned into whether JJ’s age, athleticism, and room to grow could eventually put him in that conversation.We talk about what Jordan Love has already shown in Green Bay, JJ McCarthy missing most of his rookie year with injury, and why projecting “upside” can be tough this early into a career. The conversation turns into a full NFC North quarterback debate with plenty of disagreement from both the Packers and Vikings sides.
