On this edition of The Homer Hour, Homer kicked things off with Brewers insider Dom Cotroneo to break down Milwaukee’s long-term blueprint for success. The focus: why the Brewers’ patient, development-first model continues to work — and why overspending on veteran pitching isn’t the answer. They dove into Jacob Misiorowski’s 2026 outlook, the depth of the pitching staff, and why the Brewers expect to be back in the postseason again.
In the second half, Packers reporter Jason Wilde joined the show to discuss the latest offseason chatter from Titletown. The guys debated whether the Packers are truly committed to their current roster direction, what Brian Gutekunst really means when he says players are “absolutely” part of the plan, and how Seattle’s moves under John Schneider compare to Green Bay’s approach.

The guys also discussed whether today’s college offensive linemen are better prepared for NFL pass protection, given how much more the ball is thrown at the college level.
