Manager Special - Week 9 (11/9/26)

Hope you all enjoyed Victory Monday! The slicer is moving, the cold case is stocked, and the guys are here to recap the Green Bay Packer’s Week 9 win over the New England Patriots. 45-27?! Did MLF finally let Jordan Love cook!? You know who was cooking for sure? Gannon and that defense! Four turnovers (3 INT, 1 FF), 4 sacks, and an increased blitz rate, not to mention a potential Pick 6 was dropped (forgot to mention that on the pod). Watson and Golden were most definitely cooking! Combined 17 receptions, 335 yards, 2 TDs. Oooof! Chef’s kiss! Christian Gonzalez got COOKED! What a performance but can we expect to see any of this translate to next week’s matchup against the Minnesota Vikings? With the trade deadline looming and Josh Jacobs injured, is it an absolute must to grab a RB? Maybe Gutey will get out there and do some cooking. Shout out to the homie Declan, let’s cook this cancer and get back to the regularly scheduled program! Much love to you and just know that the 414 Deli is with you! You got this!

Rooooolllll out the barrel…..we got the World Series won! What. It. DOOOOOO! The Deli is open and ready to bring y’all something special! It’s true, if you haven’t heard by now, you must live under a rock but for the first time in franchise history, the Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions!!! Sal chugging beers. Megill popping Zyns. Bauer going shirtless and high fiving cheerleaders. Mix trading for Pokémon cards. 750k people flooded the streets of Milwaukee. But how did we get there?! Tune in as Cisco and a special guest cohost break down Games 3-5 and the rest of the Brewers’s historic post season run. It’s amazing just how special this team was. How does this team compare to the Brewers World Series team in 1982? What is the outlook of this team going forward?

There’s no rules on how long a Victory Friday lasts! That’s right, the Deli is back and the guys are here to dish up the recap of the Green Bay Packer’s Thursday night win over the Carolina Panthers. The game didn’t start off the right way, not that Cisco would know since he was doing shot shotskis in the parking lot and missed the opening kickoff, but it ended in a right enough way. We got to see Christian Watson pull off his best Undertaker impression. The World Series champs made an appearance! The drops and missed tackles also made an appearance. The run game did not make the appearance we were hoping for, especially against that rush defense. How are we looking for next week’s matchup against New England? Will we see some roster shakeups in the running back room? Shout out to the McCracken clan for joining Cisco at the game, especially Grant for convincing him to get that last Vizzy before the end of the 3rd quarter.

Chip, chip, chip? Tell Ryan all we hear is “chirp, chirp, chirp”! The mood is low but the Deli is still open and ready to serve up some Manager specials for y’all! Join the fellas as they discuss the Green Bay Packer’s Week 7 loss to the Detroit Lions. The opportunities were definitely there but we fumbled the bag, figuratively. Drops plagued us again, especially with Josh Jacobs TD drop. Two dropped INTs. Two missed field goals. We lost two centers. Just an ugly performance overall. The poor officiating was the icing on the crap-cake. A total FU bag. Anyone that thinks otherwise can pontificate deez! The better news is that the Milwaukee Brewers took both World Series games at home and head to Tampa up 2-0! In typical Brewers fashion, both games were won in a dramatic way. Megill got himself into a bind in the 9th inning of Game 1, but came out on top even after we thought the game was won on a double play. Game 2 dramatics were provided by Aaron “Glassby”, which resulted in a much debated “check swing” call. How confident are we that the series will be closed out in Tampa?

We might be late but we’re always on time! What’s good Deli family!? The guys are back and ready to serve up another special edition of the Manager Special. Tune in as the crew discusses the Green Bay Packer’s Sunday night victory over them Dallas Cowboys! We DeM bOyZ huh!? Despite the 23-13 score, the game seemed more dominated by the Packers. Three dropped TD passes would have made the narrative more legitimate even though Ryan’s advanced analytics say otherwise. Missed tackles seem to be another trend according to those analytics, although holding that offense to just 13 points gives a different impression. What do y’all think? Speaking of the crew, our Milwaukee Brewers completed the NLCS sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers! We’re on to the World Series!! WILD! Facing off against the best team in the AL brings a familiar face back to Milwaukee, Freddy Peralta. How will we match up against the Rays? What does this appearance in the World Series mean after 44 years?

How long before a special edition of something becomes not so special? Rhetorical question because we DGAF! That’s right, Victory Monday and Victory Tuesday are being celebrated this week! Tune in as the guys break down the Green Bay Packer’s Week 5 blasting of the Chicago Bears. No Caleb Williams? Well, no Parsons, no Jacobs, no Zach BB, no Coop, doesn’t matter. And can we put some respect on Jordan Love’s name?! Watson and Golden the top receiving duo in the NFL!? Haters gon hate but the Bears still suck! Roll out the barrel because the Brewers are on a run! Heading to LA up 2-0 is a great feeling. Especially when we haven’t been playing like our usual selves. Uncharacteristic errors, dominant pitchers struggling, big bats sleeping….they still are finding a way to get the job done! Wild Bill coming through in the clutch. Bullpen holding us down. Underdog players making plays. Even the Captain is showing up for the first time since 2018. Can we close it out in LA? Excuse the technical difficulties in the middle of the episode. Or not, again, we DGAF! LOL!

Sorry for the hiatus after that Week 3 Packers loss to the Atlanta Falcons but the Deli is back and rocking! Why is this Manager Special so Special, you ask?! Well….the Brewers are up 2-0 on the San Diego Padres and in dramatic fashion at that! Which means they will be getting some clock on this week’s Manager Special. But first, join the fellas as they breakdown the Green Bay Packers squeaking by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. Should we be optimistic that we won 17-14 going against an undrafted rookie QB making his first NFL start? Depends who you ask I guess. There were some things that went better this week. Offensive line allowed only 2-3 pressures. Defense was able to get turnovers. But we still have issues tackling, catching the ball on offense, penalties (10-68 yards) and stalling our drives with poor play calling. This is not a playoff team, again, depending on who you ask. Speaking of playoffs, those Brewers have been pulling it off in dramatic fashion but nothing as electric as how Game 2 finished! Jackson Chourio with a walk-off single on a 2 strike count with two outs and the bases loaded! WILD! Side note, one of the Deli’s most loyal listeners gets called out LOL!

VICTOOOORRRRYYYYY MONDAY! That is right, after 6 games we are officially back! The Deli is happy to be open on this Monday, ready to talk about this ugly win. As Homer Ry would say, “a win is a win”, but Pneumonia Papí ain’t buying it! Tune in as the guys breakdown the Green Bay Packers’s Week 2 OT win over the New York Jets. The win comes at a cost as both receiver Jayden Reed and starting OT Zach Bako-Bewele were seriously injured early in the first quarter. Reed has since posted that he was doing better and has feeling and movement in all extremities. The fear for Bako-Bewele is that he will likely be out for the remainder of the season, which is the worst possible news for this offensive line and Jordan Love. How much faith do you have in this team making the playoffs? The guys answer this question so feel free to comment as well!

Womp womp WOOOOMP! After the offseason hype, the Green Bay Packers came out and laid an egg. That’s right, the NFL season is here and that means the return of the Manager Special! Wish we had better results for all the fans but it is what it is! Despite Jordan Love throwing for over 380 yards, despite Christian Watson having two TDs, Matthew Golden with almost 100 yards and holding Minnesota to under 250 total yards of offense….we still lost 39-22. Make it make sense! Yes the refs definitely gave Minnesota one drive which led to them taking the lead, but when is this team going to start closing games?! Something has to change. Appreciation in advance for everyone sticking with the episode. Pneumonia Papí aka Cisco gave it his all to make sure the 414 Deli gave y’all what you wanted.

It’s the first of the month which means new deals at the 414 Deli! What will September bring us?! FOOTBALL! College football kicked off already but the power schools start battling this weekend. Wisconsin opens up against Notre Dame on the “road” at Lambeau Field. Can Luke Fickell turn this team around and give us a decent enough showing against the Irish? This is also the last week without NFL football as every 53 man roster has been solidified. How are the guys feeling about the Pack? September also brings us to the end of the MLB season. The Milwaukee Brewers are facing a pivotal next 10 games with 7 against the Chicago Cubs. Up 8 games for the division, how many do we need to win to keep a comfortable distance? Here’s a little fantasy football advice…..go big for Daejon Love!
