Reporting as Tailgate - A Hybrid Podcast Special

On this episode of RAE they guys mostly make puns and literary references, but also discuss how the Packers killed another elite opponent even though they could have scored even more. And now they get to play the Browns who are at least maybe not as bad as they seem because they played some tough teams, but also are probably bad. We also laugh at the Bears, and remind everyone that Harold Fannin runs like a duck. Also, listener questions!

On an all new Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt, and JR discuss a dominating win over the Lions, the real impact of Micah Parsons, show some love to the rest of the defense, and discuss whether they took their foot off the gas just a bit too early. The boys also talk about the absence of Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, whether the Lions are actually, you know, good, whether the Vikings or Bears may be a threat, Jordan Love's low volume, high efficiency performance, and of course, listener questions!

Paul, Matt and JR kick off the season with a preview of the Lions, Micah Parsons' salary cap implications, injuries to both teams, NFC North predictions, Ben Johnson to John Morton, the awful spelling of TeSlaa, and of course, listener questions!

Guys, we got Micah! Did we get Micah? Yeah we did.

On the season premiere of Reporting as Eligible, Tyler is optimistic, Paul less so, as the team is beset by injuries, the division has (maybe) improved, and the offensive line was getting....bigger. But are the injuries overblown? Is Matthew Golden some kind of precious metal child? Is Lukas Van Ness good now, or should we keep an eye out for Gary? And is Paul really worried about the Bears? I mean, really? Are you ever gonna learn man? Plus, listener questions as RAE kicks off season something.

Paul discusses weird outliers in Packerland and Brewertown, gives some updates on RAE, and depending on the feed you listen to, maybe some new intro music.

We (Paul) missed a few Patreon questions, and so here they are, with answers.

Now with JR actually asking the questions!

The Packers are done drafting, and Paul, JR, and Matt are here to take you through it! They take on draft weekend itself, the Barryn Sorrell moment and whether he moves the needle at edge, the new focus on beef at offensive line, and whether Matthew Golden and Savion Williams see serious time early. They also discuss how the rest of the division fared, and of course, listener questions!

That's a wrap on the 2025 draft, as Tex and Paul take you through an absolutely brilliant experience, filled with great moments. They recap the Packers' day three picks, including a few steals at edge rusher, before tackling some of the interesting UDFAs, including a 220 pound boundary corner. The Packers attacked their positions of need in their typically high-RAS fashion, and it's hard not to be excited about the future.The draft in tiny Green Bay was a huge success, and really couldn't have gone much better. What an absolute blast.
