The Doug Russell Podcast

On a special TDRP, a look back at arguably the greatest sports icon in Wisconsin history, the great Hank Aaron, who died Friday morning. Doug also replays his one-on-one interview with Aaron from 1999, and an interview with Milwaukee Braves historian / author / filmmaker William Povletich.

On today's 50th (!!) TDRP, Doug takes advantage of "Anything Goes Wednesday" to take a two-year look back at what we were saying when the Packers first hired coach Matt LaFleur. Also, on this historic day, ICYMI the first time around or want to listen again, President Biden's inaugural address begins at 29:07, while now-Former President Trump's farewell address begins at 50:46.

Today, what five-letter word has made the Packers the best team in the NFC? We hear from Aaron Rodgers, Matt LaFleur, Aaron Jones, Tom Brady, and Drew Brees in a very-football centric podcast as Championship Week starts!

As the Packers prepare to play the Rams in the NFC's Divisional Round, Doug takes a deep weekend dive into the matchup, then catches up with The Ringer's Mirin Fader, who found out perhaps the biggest reason Davante Adams is having the kind of season he's having.

On the Monday TDRP, Doug opens the hood on the weekend that was over the recently completed inaugural "Super Wild Card Weekend" - plus Doug's conversation with six-time National Champion former UW-Whitewater football coach (currently at the University of Buffalo) Lance Liepold.

The end of week TDRP starts with a warning: This one may not be for everyone. With the passing of baseball icon Tommy Lasorda come remembrances of his life in the game and as a beloved ambassador for America and it's pastime. That is not this show. Instead, we go into the audio vault for Tommy's best, most profane rants. If you listen at work, headphones are recommended ;) 

This week, the Milwaukee Admirals made the difficult decision to suspend play for the 2020-21 season because of their inability to make it financially so long as no fans are allowed to attend games at Panther Arena (The MECCA). In 2017, Doug sat down for a longform interview with Admirals owner Harris Turer. On our latest midweek "anything goes" show, Doug re-plays his conversation in its entirety with Turer.

It's a Black Monday TDRP, where Doug dives into the coaching changes in the NFL, revisits the Packers win over the Bears ( 1:10), with postgame comments from Aaron Rodgers (4:38) and Davante Adams (12:17). The, it's time for a sweep around the league (17:36), your Super Wild Card Weekend schedule (22:19), a look at some postseason hardware that should be coming to Titletown (25:46), and some thoughts on the NCAA's announcement that their upcoming basketball tournament will have a distinct Hoosier State feel (30:30).
