  The Homer Hour

  Banana Ball, Banks and Brewers Pitching Hope

  Aug 19, 202648 min

  Homer opens the Wednesday Homer Hour furious about the Brewers’ 22-0 win turning into a position-player pitching joke, arguing baseball should switch to “banana ball” rules once a team effectively quits. Rain Man brings Brewers, Bucks, Marquette and Wisconsin trivia before Jason Wilde joins with a Packers update on Aaron Banks returning to team periods, Tucker Kraft’s all-out practice style and Zaire Franklin’s edge. Wilde also discusses Jordan Love’s leadership, saying Love is staying authentic instead of trying to be louder than he really is. Jerry Augustine then joins to break down Logan Henderson, Jacob Misiorowski and why Milwaukee’s young pitching gives the Brewers a real chance to chase a World Series. The hour closes with Homer continuing to push Augustine toward a future banana-ball pitching appearance.

  The Homer Hour

  Brewers Hope, Wilde and TVV on Packers

  Aug 18, 202646 min

  Homer opens the hour with A.J. Storr’s latest transfer, joking that Storr’s mom may be the greatest agent in college basketball history after another school change. Brewers optimism takes over from there, with Homer saying he would be disappointed if Milwaukee does not win a World Series in the next three years because of Jacob Misiorowski, Logan Henderson, Kyle Harrison and the young pitching core. Jason Wilde joins to push back on how much of Packers training camp actually matters, while still digging into Keisean Nixon, Brandon Cissé, Aaron Banks and the offensive line questions. Homer and Wilde also detour into Robin Yount stories, including why Yount’s honesty and simplicity still stand out. Tim Van Vooren closes the hour by agreeing the Brewers are in a real championship window, saying the team is tougher, less fragile and built around the most important thing in baseball: pitching.

  Bulaga Backs Nixon and Explains Rodgers’ Edge

  Aug 17, 202649 min

  Homer and Bryan Bulaga open the hour with Homer live from the Life Navigators Challenger Event before diving into the Brewers’ pitching outlook, including Logan Henderson’s upside and how he compares to Jacob Misiorowski. Bulaga then pushes back on the Keisean Nixon panic, saying Nixon is still the Packers’ most experienced and likely No. 1 corner despite the practice rotations and outside noise. Homer and Bulaga also discuss Aaron Rodgers’ recent public comments, with Bulaga explaining that Rodgers’ intense competitiveness showed up in everything from football to backgammon. The conversation shifts into Homer’s push for “banana football” and “banana baseball” ideas before Bulaga gives his most encouraging Packers takeaway from the preseason opener: Jordan Morgan’s pass-protection growth against Alex Highsmith. The hour closes with Bulaga explaining how the Packers should handle questions about Micah Parsons’ absence, saying nobody gets an asterisk for losses and the rest of the defense has to earn its keep.

  Gary Backs Smack, Gannon and Rodgers Debate

  Aug 14, 202646 min

  Homer and Gary Ellerson react to the Packers’ preseason opener, with Gary saying he feels better about Green Bay after watching Trey Smack drill two 58-yard kicks and seeing Jonathan Gannon’s defense play with aggression. Gary likes that the Packers appeared willing to run their real defensive concepts in the preseason, saying the reps matter as players learn the timing, lanes and communication of a new system. The conversation turns to individual depth pieces like Brenton Cox Jr., Baron Sorrell and Marshawn Lloyd, with Gary saying Lloyd has the talent and wiggle to help but still has to prove he can stay healthy. Homer and Gary also dig into the offensive line uncertainty, Tucker Kraft versus Christian Watson as the Packers’ biggest weapon, and whether Keisean Nixon’s missed tackle should actually change his role. The hour closes with a deeper debate about Matt LaFleur’s Jordan Love-Aaron Rodgers comparison, Adam Thielen’s comments about Rodgers’ stressful hand-signal system, and why Gary believes the Packers can feel better after one preseason game even with plenty still unresolved.

  Bulaga, Wilde and Packers Preseason Questions

  Aug 13, 202644 min

  Kyle Wallace fills in for Homer alongside Bryan Bulaga as they get Packers fans ready for Green Bay’s preseason opener against the Steelers. Bulaga explains why preseason snaps matter more for younger players and unsettled position groups, especially a Packers offensive line still trying to sort out Jordan Morgan, Sean Rhyan, Jacob Monk, Anthony Belton, Aaron Banks and Zach Tom. He also says he is eager to see Jonathan Gannon’s defense in live action, from its structure and communication to how young players like Brandon Cissé handle their first real NFL game environment. Jason Wilde joins to dig deeper into the offensive line, Aaron Banks’ lingering knee concerns, whether Green Bay should show parts of Gannon’s defense, and why Jordan Love may only need a brief appearance if he plays at all. The hour closes with Bulaga reflecting on Aaron Rodgers’ leadership style, what Jordan Love can learn from him, and why Rodgers reuniting with Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh feels like a fitting full-circle moment.
