    Mar 2 2026
    March Mode is live. ESPN Wisconsin’s Alex Strouf and Wisconsin legend Ben Brust kick off a twice-weekly NCAA Tournament sprint with a full breakdown of the Wisconsin Badgers as March arrives.

  • Season 2 Finale: Getsy Returns + Packers Offseason Decisions on Jacobs, OL and Rashan Gary - Weekly Wilde

    Season 2 Finale: Getsy Returns + Packers Offseason Decisions on Jacobs, OL and Rashan Gary - Weekly Wilde
    Feb 12 2026
    One more for the road. The Season 2 finale of the weekly edition of Weekly Wilde is here, and Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf close the book by diving into what’s next for the Packers after Super Bowl week. They start with the most unsurprising (and most debated) hire of the offseason: Luke Getsy returning as quarterbacks coach after Sean Mannion leaves. From there, they get into the backup quarterback plan with Malik Willis expected to depart, and why the Packers are clearly stacking reclamation projects behind Jordan Love. Then it’s rapid-fire offseason triage: Josh Jacobs and the value of leadership and toughness, the reality of offensive line decisions (Elgton Jenkins, Aaron Banks, Sean Rhyan), and the looming Rashan Gary cap and production conversation. Plus: why “change for change’s sake” is tempting, but not always better.
