About this listen

 It’s a Friday edition of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, and the hour spans three franchises — but one theme ties it all together: Competing vs settling. 📌 Based strictly on 021326 JGC Hour 1 021326 JGC Hour 1 🏀 Giannis Won’t Tank — And Neither Will the Bucks Craig Karmazin joins to address the biggest NBA debate of the week: Should the Bucks tank? Despite draft-position temptation, Milwaukee has won five of six, and Giannis continues to compete instead of shutting it down. Craig makes it clear: Tanking is bad for the league Tanking is bad for fans And Giannis’ competitive DNA won’t allow it He even explains how fines (like Utah’s recent $500K penalty) ultimately affect ownership through capital calls — giving fans a rare glimpse into the financial reality behind front-office decisions. The message: winning culture still matters. 🏈 155 Wins… Zero Super Bowls The conversation pivots to the Packers. Since 2011, Green Bay has the fourth-most wins in the NFL — yet no Super Bowl appearances. Other top teams? 14 combined appearances. The debate heats up: Is it coaching? Roster balance? Defensive inconsistency? Just bad timing? Craig argues the Packers have legitimately had 5–6 real shots at it. The frustration isn’t incompetence — it’s falling short at the worst moments. 🧠 What If They Go 11–6 Again? The hypothetical sparks real tension: If the Packers go 11–6 next year and lose in the playoffs again… what happens? Craig says you make changes — not necessarily at quarterback or head coach, but somewhere. Chewy pushes back hard: Health excuses don’t win championships. Everyone deals with injuries. The discussion becomes philosophical: Is 11–6 success? Or regression? ⚾ Brewers: Optimism in the Unknown The hour closes on baseball. Pitchers and catchers have reported, and while the Brewers traded away their third baseman, the roster still feels competitive. Craig’s take: The Brewers always find a way The pitching depth is legit The division is tough, but this team is credible Milwaukee fans may not know exactly what the lineup will be in April — but history suggests it will compete. ⚖️ The Bottom Line Three franchises. One theme: Compete. The Bucks are choosing it. The Packers have to decide what it truly means. The Brewers keep betting on it. And in Wisconsin, that debate never stops. 🎧 A wide-ranging, honest conversation about tanking, championships, and what it really takes to finish — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy
