#880 Packers Unscripted: That’s a wrap

·40 min·4 clips
Mike and Wes reveal the Packers' final locker room was the most crowded and inspiring they've ever seen.
Mike Spofford and Wes Hodkiewicz open the episode by announcing it as the season finale for the 2025 Packers season. They start with a discussion about the final locker room, noting it was unusually crowded with injured players like Micah Parsons and Devontae Wyatt on crutches, who chose to speak to the media. The hosts highlight the messages of resolve and hope from players like Parsons and Tucker Kraft. They then move to season reflections, with Wes sharing his favorite moment: the Thanksgiving win in Detroit, where Micah Parsons had 2.5 sacks and Dontavion Wicks made a key shoeless catch. Mike recounts learning about the Micah Parsons trade while on a plane, linking it to a history of missing major Packers news. The hosts debate their favorite plays of the year, including Wicks' catch, Keyshawn Nixon's interception, Tucker Kraft's 59-yard touchdown, and Christian Watson's leaping catch. They summarize the season with single words: Wes says 'close' due to near-misses, and Mike says 'tease' for the glimpses of potential. The conversation shifts to favorite stories written during the season, with Wes highlighting Barron Sorrell's unique draft story and Mike discussing his tribute to retiring team doctor Dr. Pat McKenzie. They then preview NFL playoff matchups, rooting for teams like Denver and the LA Rams due to personal connections. The episode concludes with thanks to listeners and a tease about a new studio for next season.
