The Homer Hour

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Gary Ellerson are still trying to understand how the Packers let another game completely unravel. Gary’s biggest concern remains an offensive line in “shambles,” especially after Green Bay spent the offseason evaluating Anthony Belton and Jagger Burton only to start Jacob Monk and Donovan Jennings. The guys question why changes weren’t made during the Vikings game and whether Belton and Burton could now find themselves in the lineup against the Jets. Homer believes he’s finally found the phrase that defines the Matt LaFleur Packers: “Hall of Fame flinchers.” Borrowing from Barry Alvarez’s Don’t Flinch philosophy, Homer argues Green Bay’s biggest issue isn’t simply toughness. When adversity arrives, one bad moment snowballs into another instead of the Packers settling down and regaining control. Gary pushes back on how much blame belongs specifically on LaFleur, leading to a debate over whether these late-game failures are really unique to this era. Gary also explains why the protection disaster against Brian Flores bothered him so much. Offensive linemen, tight ends and running backs all have to communicate against pressure packages, and Gary says Green Bay looked completely unprepared despite having plenty of film on Minnesota’s scheme. Looking ahead, he expects changes at guard and believes the Packers finally respond against the Jets, predicting a 28-10 Green Bay win.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Bryan Bulaga agree on the biggest takeaway from Week 1: the Packers cannot allow Jordan Love to take another beating like that. Bulaga calls Love’s performance phenomenal considering he was hit 18 times and explains how much more dangerous Green Bay’s offense could become if the protection improves even slightly. The guys expect changes at guard and debate whether Jagger Burton should have gotten an opportunity against Minnesota before the protection completely collapsed. Jason Wilde joins Homer and Bulaga to examine what Green Bay’s offensive line could actually look like against the Jets. Wilde believes Jagger Burton could replace Donovan Jennings if Aaron Banks remains unavailable, while Jacob Monk may get another opportunity at right guard. The guys question why Burton received so much first-team work during training camp only to be passed over in Week 1 and whether different opinions inside the coaching staff contributed to the decision. Plus, Bulaga explains why Sunday’s game is already enormous for Green Bay. Another loss would extend the Packers’ skid and raise serious questions about whether a talented roster can actually translate that talent into wins. For Homer and Bulaga, everything starts with one priority: keep No. 10 upright.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True gets the latest from Jason Wilde on how the Packers could respond to their Week 1 offensive-line disaster. Aaron Banks returned to practice on a limited basis, but Wilde says Green Bay could turn to Jagger Burton at left guard and even move Anthony Belton back to right guard. With the Jets looming, Wilde explains why an 0-2 start would turn the volume way up on Matt LaFleur and the Packers. Wilde also shares what he learned from Jordan Love and Jayden Reed about Love’s unusual ability to make accurate throws while fading away from pressure. Reed compares it to Kobe Bryant’s fadeaway jumper, and Wilde explains why that unconventional skill became a lifesaver with Love constantly running for his life against Minnesota. Plus, why didn’t Green Bay use screens to slow down the Vikings’ relentless pass rush? Tim Van Voren joins the show to turn toward the Brewers after their fourth straight NL Central title. TVV explains why he feels better about Milwaukee’s World Series chances than he did a year ago, how the first-round bye could allow the Brewers to line up Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson atop their playoff rotation and why Robert Gasser and Dustin May could become crucial October arms.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Jason Wilde continue dissecting the Packers’ collapse in Minnesota and Matt LaFleur’s decision to take three points off the board. Wilde believes LaFleur’s offseason obsession with “finishing” may have actually influenced him to become overly aggressive on fourth-and-one. With Green Bay’s defense controlling Carson Wentz and the crowd quiet, Wilde argues that finishing the game meant understanding the situation and protecting an eight-point lead, not simply going for the knockout punch. Wilde also provides new insight into Green Bay’s offensive line decisions, including why Donovan Jennings surprisingly started over rookie Jagger Burton despite Burton receiving most of the first-team work during Aaron Banks’ training camp absences. Wilde wouldn’t be surprised if Burton gets the next opportunity at left guard or if Anthony Belton begins competing with Jacob Monk at right guard as the Packers search for answers before facing the Jets. Plus, Homer opens the phones with a simple rule: you get 30 seconds to fix the Packers. Fans unload on LaFleur’s adjustments, the offensive line, Green Bay’s repeated late-game collapses and whether the head coach needs someone helping him manage games.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Bryan Bulaga try to explain how the Packers went from controlling Minnesota for three quarters to completely collapsing in the fourth. Bulaga argues the warning signs were there all afternoon, with Jordan Love repeatedly escaping pressure and making spectacular plays despite shaky protection. He explains why Green Bay failed to properly adjust with screens, draws and quick throws before the pressure finally overwhelmed the offense. Then surprise guest TJ Lang joins his former teammate for an offensive-line summit. Lang and Bulaga discuss what they believe is missing from the current Packers line, including the toughness, attitude and accountability their units played with. Lang explains why protecting Jordan Love goes beyond simply blocking and why offensive linemen need to make opponents understand there are consequences for taking shots at their quarterback. He also delivers a message directly to Green Bay’s offensive line about the responsibility that comes with wearing the Packers helmet.

Alex Strouf fills in for Steve “Homer” True alongside Gary Ellerson on The Homer Hour as the guys try to figure out just how good the Packers can actually be in 2026. Strouf believes Green Bay’s ceiling could be among the best teams in football, but questions surrounding the offensive line, Josh Jacobs’ absence, Micah Parsons’ injury and a brand-new defense leave plenty of uncertainty. Gary agrees and wonders whether the Packers have actually fixed the problems that contributed to their five-game losing streak to end last season. Without Jacobs, Gary believes Sunday’s offense falls heavily on Jordan Love and Green Bay’s pass catchers. The guys break down what Marshawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks and Caleb Johnson can provide in the backfield and why the Packers need to stop rotating offensive linemen and finally establish continuity up front. Plus, Gary explains why Minnesota is actually the NFC North team that scares him most and predicts a wild 35-28 Packers win, with Love needing to carry the offense against Brian Flores and the Vikings.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Bryan Bulaga react to Aaron Rodgers’ comments about his eventual return to Green Bay and whether lingering issues with people inside the Packers organization could complicate his homecoming. Bulaga explains why Rodgers’ accomplishments guarantee he’ll eventually be honored in Green Bay regardless of how things ended and why time has only made it easier to appreciate just how incredible Rodgers was in his prime. Jason Wilde joins Bulaga to break down the Packers’ biggest Week 1 concern: the offensive line. Wilde gives the latest on Zach Bako-Bewele, Aaron Banks and Jordan Morgan, why Jacob Monk appears likely to start at right guard and why the lack of full-speed practice reps could become a problem against Brian Flores. The guys also revisit Matt LaFleur calling Jordan Love the best quarterback he’s coached at the line of scrimmage and Rodgers’ response, with Wilde explaining why the comparison shouldn’t overshadow how far Love has developed. Plus, Homer and Bulaga discuss Josh Jacobs’ legal resolution and why they expect clarity on an NFL suspension soon.

On The Homer Hour, Jason Wilde joins Steve “Homer” True to look ahead to Packers-Vikings and identify who needs to step up while Micah Parsons is sidelined. Wilde explains why Edgerrin Cooper could be Green Bay’s best option to manufacture pressure, including potentially using him off the edge in Jonathan Gannon’s defense. The guys also discuss Josh Jacobs’ upcoming court date and why the Packers could finally get some clarity on his status. Plus, Jerry Augustine joins Homer to tackle the biggest question surrounding the Brewers heading toward October: who is the third playoff starter behind Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson? Augustine explains why he still believes Kyle Harrison can rediscover his mechanics, but says Robert Gasser would be his Game 3 starter right now. He also breaks down how Milwaukee is managing The Miz’s workload as the postseason approaches.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True says the Luke Fickell debate is going to follow Wisconsin all season long. Homer predicts the Badgers will land somewhere between six and eight wins and argues Fickell’s future will ultimately depend on whether Wisconsin shows legitimate progress now that the program has more resources to work with. Jason Wilde joins the show and says the Packers’ offensive line is easily his biggest concern entering Week 1 against Minnesota. With Aaron Banks and Zach Bako-Bewele battling knee issues, Wilde explains why protecting Jordan Love against Brian Flores could determine the game and why Green Bay may have to rotate linemen. Plus, Tim Van Vooren joins Homer to preview Jacob Misiorowski against the Cubs and tackle the Brewers’ biggest October question: who can emerge behind The Miz and Logan Henderson as Milwaukee’s No. 3 playoff starter?

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and former Badger and Packer Gary Ellerson preview Wisconsin’s matchup with Notre Dame at Lambeau Field. Homer argues a Badgers win would rank among the biggest upsets in program history, while Gary explains why the opener may actually be Wisconsin’s best chance to catch Notre Dame before either team fully knows what it has. Still, Gary believes the Irish are entering the season looking to “get everybody” after last year’s disappointment. The guys also dig into how Wisconsin got here. Gary points to the Badgers losing their identity when Luke Fickell built a staff without enough Wisconsin ties, while Homer argues the changing NIL landscape and lack of money made the job far more difficult than it used to be. They debate whether Fickell can actually coach once the talent gap closes, why players are increasingly chasing bigger paydays, and whether academics can still be a meaningful recruiting pitch in modern college football.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Bryan Bulaga get into the football weeds on what Packers fans should watch along the offensive line, including how protections work, how pass rushers set up their moves and why the center can give you a clue about where the protection is headed before the snap. Bulaga also explains why having two tackles capable of surviving one-on-one can completely change what an offense is able to do. Jason Wilde joins the show to look ahead to the Packers facing Brian Flores and the Vikings in Week 1. The guys debate whether Jordan Love can diagnose Minnesota’s pressure packages, whether Green Bay’s uncertain offensive line can actually block them, and why pass protection could determine which running back gets the most playing time without Josh Jacobs. Plus, Bulaga pushes back on comparisons between Love and Aaron Rodgers at the line of scrimmage and explains why the two quarterbacks operate very differently.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True is counting down the minutes until Jacob Misiorowski takes the mound against the Cubs and dives into just how dominant The Miz has been this season. Plus, Rain Man turns into a full-on Brewers and Misiorowski trivia session as Milwaukee looks to build off its bounce-back win at Wrigley. Jason Wilde joins Homer to try to make sense of Josh Jacobs’ uncertain status on the commissioner’s exempt list and why there’s still no clear timeline for his return. The conversation turns to what the Packers actually do without Jacobs, why Chris Brooks could play significantly more than expected because of his pass protection, how much Green Bay can rely on MarShawn Lloyd, and whether Matt LaFleur will ultimately put more of the offense on Jordan Love’s arm.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True dives into the uncertainty surrounding Josh Jacobs and why the history of the commissioner’s exempt list suggests Packers fans should prepare for him to miss games. Jason Wilde joins the show and explains why he expects Jacobs to eventually receive a suspension, what the Packers’ public support of their running back could tell us, and why the NFL’s own investigation ultimately matters more than the legal process when it comes to potential discipline. Jason also shares why Tucker Kraft appeared more frustrated than ever about his unresolved contract extension and why the Packers shouldn’t risk creating another Davante Adams-type situation with one of their best young players. Plus, Tim Van Vooren joins Homer to discuss Green Bay’s running back situation without Jacobs, why Chris Brooks could play an important role against Minnesota, and whether Jacobs’ absence will finally force Matt LaFleur to put the Packers offense in Jordan Love’s hands.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and former Packers offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga try to make sense of Josh Jacobs being placed on the NFL commissioner’s exempt list. Bulaga explains how the list works, why Jacobs can continue getting paid while being unable to practice or play, and why the lack of a defined timetable makes this situation so unusual. Homer and Bulaga debate how long Jacobs could remain away from the team, what could ultimately lead to a suspension or reinstatement, and how missing practice could impact his football conditioning even if he’s eventually cleared to return. Plus, they discuss why the Packers’ quick trade for Kaleb Johnson suggests Green Bay was preparing for the possibility of beginning the season without its starting running back.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and former Packers offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga react to the latest surrounding Josh Jacobs after the Packers running back was formally charged with two misdemeanors. The guys discuss what it could mean for Jacobs’ availability, whether Green Bay can trust MarShawn Lloyd to handle a larger workload, and if the Packers may need to add another running back before Week 1. Jason Wilde joins the show to break down the potential NFL discipline for Jacobs and the growing questions surrounding Tucker Kraft’s contract extension. Plus, Bulaga explains why he’s feeling better about the Packers’ offensive line, while Homer and Bryan debate whether Green Bay has enough difference-makers to compete with the NFC’s best until Micah Parsons returns.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True dives into the rapidly changing world of college football and debates whether Wisconsin should be allowed to add players with previous NFL experience. Jason Wilde joins the show to discuss why MarShawn Lloyd needs a heavy workload in the Packers’ final preseason action, whether Green Bay can trust him as the backup to Josh Jacobs, and why the offensive line still needs valuable reps together before Week 1. Plus, Tim Van Voren joins Homer to discuss the Brewers’ battle atop the National League and reveals the Packers rookie who has caught his attention: defensive lineman Chris McClellan.

On this episode of The Homer Hour with Bryan Bulaga, the conversation turns to a major concern for the Packers: depth along the offensive line. Bryan breaks down the current state of the unit, the players battling for roster spots, and how injuries and inexperience could impact Green Bay heading into the season. What options do the Packers have if the depth is tested? And which players could emerge as reliable contributors? Tune in for an in-depth look at one of the team’s biggest roster questions.

Homer and Bryan Bulaga open the hour with the daily question of whether Jacob Misiorowski is pitching, with both agreeing The Miz has become must-watch baseball because of the possibility that fans could see something historic every time he starts. Bulaga compares that kind of rare draw to athletes like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, while Homer says Miz has reached the “feel lucky to watch him” level. Packers talk turns to the offensive line, where Bulaga says Jordan Morgan is the player he will study most closely early in the season, especially after showing encouraging signs against Pittsburgh. Jason Wilde joins for the best segment of the week and debates preseason playing time, joint practices, Aaron Banks’ knee, Zach Tom’s availability and why the Packers’ offensive line should get real work against Denver’s defense. The hour closes with Wilde and Bulaga both saying Jordan Love’s biggest next step is playing all 17 games, while Bulaga explains why offensive linemen still rewatch and marvel at the special throws Aaron Rodgers used to make.

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.

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.
