Jason Wilde

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly on the Yuengling Guest Hotline while they're LIVE from the CycleNation event in Madison! Before getting into the news about the Packers playing the Rams on Thanksgiving Eve this coming season, Molly asks Jason for his insight on animal injuries and surgeries after her dog possibly tore its ACL yesterday! Jason also tells the story of his cat, AJ the Jackwagon -- aka the Foam Eating Feline! They also talk more about the Packers moving on from Brandon McManus, how will playing on the Rams on a Wednesday impact the Packers' schedule in the weeks before and after Thanksgiving, and Jason provides his thoughts on the Wisconsin Badgers' AD search committee -- how successful even are search committees?

Jason Wilde joins Homer to discuss why the Packers moved on from Brandon McManus and what it says about their kicking competition. Wilde also looks ahead to the Bears under Ben Johnson and how Caleb Williams and Jordan Love could be compared for years. The conversation shifts to The Miz, with Wilde weighing Homer’s claim that Brewers fans are seeing one of the most unique sports shows Wisconsin has ever had.

Jason Wilde joins Kyle and Brust to break down the Packers’ decision to move forward with rookie kicker Trey Smack after parting ways with Brandon McManus. Wilde acknowledges Smack’s strong college résumé—closer to Mason Crosby than Anders Carlson—but emphasizes the uncertainty that comes with projecting any rookie at the NFL level. He outlines multiple possible reasons for McManus’ exit, including the likelihood both sides anticipated the outcome. Wilde also looks ahead to the Packers’ schedule release and explains why he prefers a “nothing burger” Week 1 rather than a marquee matchup. Plus, he weighs in on the ongoing Bears-Packers chatter and why he wants both teams at full strength when they finally meet.

Jason Wilde joins Jim & Matt on the Yuengling Guest Hotline to discuss the Packers moving on from starting kicker Brandon McManus -- why are the Packers STILL struggling to replace Mason Crosby, is Gutey overreacting to McManus' playoff failures versus the Bears, and will riding the rookie rollercoaster work out this time with Trey Smack? They also get into WR coach Jason Vrable's comments on rookie Matthew Golden not knowing enough of the playbook in Year 1 -- were Packers fans wrong when they thought the coaching staff holding back their first-round pick?

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to talk Packers schedule possibilities, international games, and Matthew Golden’s development heading into 2026.

Wilde makes the case for opening the season with Packers-Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday Night Football, even though the crew pushes back because Micah Parsons may miss the start of the season and Green Bay may not be at full strength.

The conversation also dives into whether the Packers would rather play the Lions in Munich or the Saints in Paris, why international travel may be worse than road-field advantage, and why Matt LaFleur’s feelings about overseas games are already well known.

Plus, Wilde reacts to Jason Vrable’s comments about Matthew Golden, explaining why Golden’s rookie-year struggles may have been tied to playbook confidence, route adjustments, and learning to play fast.
