## Resource

Homer and Gary Ellerson react to the Packers releasing their veteran kicker and debate how risky it is to trust a young leg in the swirling conditions of Lambeau Field. They also dig into whether Green Bay is truly a Super Bowl contender, with Homer arguing the Packers still need to prove they can overcome injuries and stop finding ways to let seasons slip away. The conversation shifts to the Badgers, where improved talent and NIL money raise expectations, even if seven wins still feels like the key benchmark. Gary and Homer also compare the Bears and Lions, both agreeing Chicago may be the bigger long-term concern because of Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson. Plus, Homer revives his Brewers dome open-or-closed bit and shares old Pack Attack memories involving Brett Favre, Leroy Butler, and plenty of TV nostalgia.
