It's a new year. It's the same podcast. Talkin' Wisconsin, regional and national sports with some other nonsense in between. We kick off 2022 by trying to remember what happened in the Bears/Giants and Packers/Vikings games. Chicago is again poised to go through another cycle of GM/coach/QB, potentially. Aaron Rodgers and Hub Arkush participate in a pissing match. Onto the playoffs after this weekend. The Badgers close out their season with a bowl win. Yay. Plus how can we get players to stay on...

Our "holiday break" edition of the Intentional Foul features Josh springing Dan with a couple packs of old baseball cards to start things off. Unfortunately nothing spectacular was found from the 1987 Topps cards. Otherwise it's the memory game trying to recall what happened with the Packers and Bears games over Christmas weekend. Urban Meyer was fired and John Madden passed away. In college football the bowl games are a mess with cancellations and the Badgers kick off late on Thursday night. In...

Covid is running rampant through professional and collegiate sports the last few weeks...but it's not affecting the Intentional Foul! Back with another edition and this week the lead is the Packers and the Bears. Matt Nagy's track record against Green Bay is terrible and his decisions/strategy in-game prove it. The Packers' special teams units put on a craptastic display. More results and previews of this week. Bowl season starts for college football on Friday. In the NBA the Bucks are getting h...

The latest episode of the Intentional Foul starts with a staring showdown with Dan's dog Uecker and ends with the fellas getting scolded. Then it's all sports from there. Despite the Packers being on the bye, Josh watches more football Sunday than he has all season with the Bears and Vikings. Chicago's Andy Dalton turns in a horrific performance and going forward Dan says it should be about Justin Fields. He expects wholesale front office changes at the end of the year. More NFL results and prev...

After a holiday week off, the boys are back with a 90-minute packed episode of the Intentional Foul covering a lot of territory. Dan's last two weeks of watching the Bears have been agonizing coupled with the misleading report of Matt Nagy's firing. The Packers finally limp into the bye week following a week Sunday over the Rams, but there's a lot to like despite a massive amount of walking wounded. Results, next week's matchups plus the playoff picture too. Josh goes off about the Badgers embar...

The fellas kick off this week's episode counting down one week until the beginning of the high school basketball season...plus the unveiling of the new Beloit minor league baseball affiliate mascot next Monday. After that, thanks to a 14-hour travel day on Sunday, Dan carries the Packers and Bears discussion along with other NFL results and previews of this coming week's matchups. The Badgers destroy Rutgers and now comes pesky Northwestern...who's gonna play running back?! The Bucks are under ....

A jampacked episode of the Intentional Foul kicks off with recollections from the Packers/Cardinals tilt from ages ago and descends from there into the mess that is the Aaron Rodgers/Covid national headline. Dan says no Matt Nagy maybe translated to Justin Fields' best game of the year even though the Bears lost. A big trade before the deadline plus one player's career, and life, are over. Week eight recap and week nine previews as well. After winning against Iowa last Saturday, the Badgers have...

The fellas start off this episode with Josh talking about Squid Game on Netflix while Dan says he's probably not ever going back to a subtitled movie. After that...it's down to business with the Packers less-than-spectacular win over Washington and Covid decimating the playmakers going into Thursday night's game. The Bears get trounced down in Tampa Bay and Dan says the organization should be embarrassed. More week 7 results plus a preview of week 8. In the college ranks the Badgers go to Purdue...

Little late start for the Intentional Foul this week as schedules would allow...but there's still plenty to go over! The fellas almost forgot all the details about the Bears/Packers tilt at Soldier Field...but they DID remember the bad officiating and Aaron Rodgers "blacking out" while he cursed out some diehard Chicago fans. Other than that...week 6 results plus a preview of week 7. Then there's some NBA talk with the Bucks championship rings and the ceremony for last season's championship foll...

This week's edition of the Intentional Foul kicks off with some back-and-forth about the fellas upcoming local basketball broadcast schedule including a day where they plan on calling FOUR games during the dead of winter.

To kick off the episode, Josh recounts (and still can't believe) what he saw Friday night in Beaver Dam as their running back ran for almost 400 yards. Then the boys dive into a good 45 minutes of NFL discussion leading off with Dan and his Chicago Bears getting a win over the lowly Lions. Coach Matt Nagy also continues to astonish in new ways. Josh recaps the Packers win and some of the good aspects of the victory over the Steelers. Plus week 4 recap and week 5 preview. The Badgers get pummeled...

After Dan says that he mailed it in last week, we're back with a four-page rundown and almost 90 minutes in this latest episode...but there's a lot going on! The Bears pull a Ferris Bueller and allow Justin Fields to get sacked...nine...times. Dan correctly predicts the Packers win and the fans' reaction to it. Plus more NFL week three results and some week four previews. The Brewers had a big weekend with some former players...oh, and they also won the division on Sunday. NBA training camp star...

Coming up on this week's edition of the Intentional Foul: week 2 of the NFL season figured to see some weird stuff...it just wasn't the weird stuff we thought was coming. A number of teams are shockingly 2-0 and an odd number of them are 0-2. Injuries also have started rearing their ugly head early on in the season. The Bears got their first one and Andy Dalton got injured. The Packers pitched a shutout in the 2nd half to beat the Lions. All the other week 1 results and previews of week 3. The B...

Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books (almost...looks like we missed an interesting ending to MNF) and it was "overreaction Monday" around the league. Coming up on this edition of the Intentional Foul, we recap all the games including the Packers getting destroyed by the Saints for plenty of reasons...but none of them should happen at the professional level. Plus the Bears go follow through with their plan to start Andy Dalton but there's some Justin Fields early on. In the week 2 preview, a ...

It's the return of the weekly edition of the Intentional Foul with our NFL preview and prediction episode! BUT WAIT. Before all that, we dive deep into the Badgers season-opening home loss to Penn State last Saturday and try to figure out why exactly Wisconsin can't make the leap to the next level. THEN it's onto the National Football League. All the week 1 matchups and what they offer, plus division/playoff/Super Bowl predictions. A quick stop on the Brewers train to check in with the NL Centra...

Last biweekly episode with college football starting up this week and the NFL starting up next week! Unless of course there's a catastrophe... On this episode: the Packers and Bears make the cuts to get down to 53 players...any surprises? Green Bay traded for a new punter, ending the JK Scott era. And David Bakhtiari is on the PUP list. Chicago can't figure out the WR position (among others). Oh and they have the league's OLDEST roster. Tarik Cohen also on the PUP list. Plus some other NFL notes...

Counting down the weeks remaining until the NFL season kicks off...until then it's another bi-weekly edition of the Intentional Foul! Josh is off to his first high school coach interview so there's a little time crunch to get in some news and discussion about the first week of the NFL preseason with Jordan Love and a whole bunch of rookies taking their first snaps. Also on this episode: no rookie left tackle for the Bears this season, Dak Prescott might not get any snaps before the start of the ...

A staring contest between Josh and Dan's dog, Uecker, precedes when the mics go hot before this episode of the Intentional Foul. A lot has happened in the two weeks since the last edition. It starts with the Packers and the drama-filled offseason between the team and its quarterback. Is Cobb that big of an impact...? In Bears camp: Tarik Cohen won't see the field for awhile yet, Anthony Miller is traded and maybe Nick Foles is next? In baseball, the Brewers are still on top of the division...min...

It's the NBA Championship Edition of the Intentional Foul this time around! The Bucks have done it, winning on Tuesday night, causing tears in the eyes of grown men and fans of the team. And rightfully so. Dan breaks down how the team got there, what it took to win and what it means going forward and how it stacks up in history. Brief musings on the Brewers after an abysmal showing against the Royals....again, and the White Sox looming this weekend. Maybe a move before the trade deadline? Also s...

After a week off thanks to Dan being on the brink due to the Giannis injury and a Bucks loss, we're back with another episode before Game 1 of the NBA Finals! Quite the turnaround. In this episode: the recap of the Hawks series plus a preview of the matchup with the Suns. Dan also runs down how hard it is for a small market team to get this far and exactly how many superstars get rings. Of course the national media isn't buying the Bucks, as expected. Oh and the Brewers only have the largest lea...

Back with another episode from Studio B albeit on the early side since Dan needs full focus and attention on the opening of the Eastern Conference finals between the Bucks and the Hawks. He breaks down the series victory by Milwaukee over Brooklyn and then gives a preview about the upcoming best-of-seven against Atlanta. Also, Kevin Durant is good. Are the Bears moving from downtown and out to Arlington in place of the racetrack owned by Churchill Downs? The Brewers continue to get hammered with...

Our first in-studio episode in damn near two months! And in a shocking development...we start with...the NBA! At the time of this taping, the Bucks were heading into game six of the Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Nets. Dan has all kinds of ruminations concerning the team and most of them are...shockingly...not positive! Of course there's Packers/Rodgers/Murphy chatter and the "I'm Offended" shirts are on sale now! Justin Fields can't possibly win the starting QB job for the Bears. ...

After a month between episodes, the fellas come back to a lot that's been going on. In Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers has now officially no-showed for the Packers entire offseason. Is this thing gonna get resolved? Josh doesn't want to hear a former player/teammate's opinion. Justin Fields may start sooner than later in Chicago as well. Dan says the series between the Bucks and Net is over despite Brooklyn being without James Harden. What does the future hold for the team? And are big dudes in the NBA...

Things are so insane in the NFL's smallest market that it could be the basis for a new terrible reality show! On this episode of the Intentional Foul, Dan and Josh dive deep into the muckiest, filthiest game of "Telephone" there is....right after they talk some NFL Draft! The Bears traded up twice and got a couple good cornerstones while the Packers had a very non-flashy draft but addressed quite a few needs. The Brewers injury list is longer than.....it's long. How long can the team keep it up?...

Eatin' pancakes and trading away first round picks! It's the NFL Draft and its this week! But according to Dan...it's no sporting event. That's how this week's episode of the Intentional Foul kicks off. Josh is fuzzy on the Packers needs with little to no prep like in years past. Hopefully there's no trade down. We welcome Lorin Cox from the Locked On Bears podcast to run down what Chicago might do with.....(gasp).....an actual first round pick! Some other NFL tidbits to follow. Plus, the Bucks ...

After a week off, the fellas are back with plenty to talk about. But not before Josh absolutely perplexes Dan with an startling admission about food. Also coming up on this episode: it's a week before the NFL Draft and what positions are Green Bay and Chicago likely to look at; the Brewers have an impressive list of walking wounded just over two weeks into the season and the starting pitching has been excellent; the Bucks look to finally be healthy after Giannis missed a half dozen games; in col...

The boys are back as Josh searches for a decent frozen burger to put on the grill...which apparently doesn't exist. Also on this episode, Aaron Rodgers is hosting a game show while Ryan Pace talks up Andy Dalton. The Brewers look (not) shockingly like last year's team despite some attempts to upgrade several positions, and Orlando Arcia was traded for some reason... Politics is leaking more and more into sports as well. In the NBA the Bucks road trip is coming to a close and they sign Jrue Holid...

Grab a bag of popcorn chicken and your favorite wing sauce, and you'll never have to buy overpriced boneless wings again! A nice food hack kicks off this edition of the Intentional Foul. The NFL somehow finds a way to take center stage thanks to expanding the regular season, a big draft pick swap this past weekend and more Deshaun Watson accusers. Plus, Opening Day in MLB is coming up Thursday....where's the excitement?! The Brewers are picking to compete for the division and we take a stab at t...

Doesn't sound like the different format for the NCAA tournament's first two rounds are a hit. We'll talk all things tourney and brackets coming on this episode. Also on the Intentional Foul this week...the Packers cut some salary and make a questionable re-signing, plus the Bears seem to be going the wrong direction but hey, at least GM Ryan Pace "tried." We're almost a week away from opening day and Dan takes a crack at the Brewers 2021 roster. In the NBA the Bucks are hot and the world seemed ...
