The Homer Hour

Homer and Gary Ellerson react to Myles Turner’s claims about Giannis and the Bucks, debating whether any star player could really keep a team waiting for hours. Gary brings his Lombardi-time perspective from the NFL and argues the Bucks’ issues go far beyond Doc Rivers. The conversation turns to whether Milwaukee should consider moving on from Giannis and what his future with the Bucks should look like. Later, Homer and Gary break down the Packers schedule, focusing on the importance of the opening four games, the offensive line, and Matt LaFleur’s challenge against Ben Johnson and the Bears. They also revisit classic Packers-Buccaneers snow-game memories before closing with NFC North win total predictions.

Homer opens the hour obsessed with The Miz and his record-setting velocity, arguing Brewers fans are witnessing something truly unprecedented. Rain Man centers almost entirely on Mizorowski trivia, from his draft slot to his All-Star rise. Jason Wilde joins to talk Packers kicking questions, Bears expectations, and how The Miz compares to rare sports spectacles like Nolan Ryan. Jerry Augustine closes the hour by breaking down why Mizorowski’s stuff is so special and why seeing him live is a must for Brewers fans.

Homer and Bryan Bulaga react to the Packers moving on from Brandon McManus and handing the kicking job to a rookie, with Homer calling it a massive risk for a team expecting to contend. Bulaga explains why Lambeau Field is uniquely difficult for kickers, especially late in the season when wind and cold become major factors. Callers weigh in on whether McManus lost the locker room after last year’s playoff struggles, while Bulaga admits he is surprised the competition did not at least reach training camp. Later, Bulaga gives fans a detailed guide on what to watch at Packers training camp, from individual drills to 11-on-11 work. The hour wraps with offensive line talk, including why tackle and guard present very different challenges.

Homer and former Packers and Badgers running back Gary Ellerson opened the show discussing the Bucks and the possibility that fans may have seen Giannis’ final home game in Milwaukee — and whether the championship window with Giannis has already closed. The guys debated how fans should react, including whether Giannis deserves a standing ovation in the home finale despite the uncertainty surrounding his future. Switching to the Packers, Gary explained why he wouldn’t have traded Dontayvion Wicks, sparking a conversation about whether the move was the right one and who could emerge as the team’s fourth wide receiver. The conversation also touched on college basketball, with former Badgers guard John Blackwell reportedly considering a massive NIL deal from Duke or Illinois. Homer pushed for more transparency in NIL, saying he wants to see what players at each position are actually earning. A mix of emotion, roster debate, and the evolving world of NIL on The Homer Hour.
