Bears Defense

DNR Jake

Joe Gribowski

A lot of talk about Justin Fields and the Packers defense trying to slow him down, but are we not paying enough attention to how well the Bears defense has been playing? Or is the the competition they have played against that is skewing it a bit? 

Plus, we chat with DNR warden Jake Bolks as he answers your questions. And former Badger offensive lineman Joe Gribowski joins us to chat about the Badger bowl loss.

The Man Cave Podcast

Offense or Defense?

Dan Kasper and Brandon are back in the Man Cave with a loaded episode that hits every corner of the sports world. They break down the 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, debating who truly deserves a plaque, how PED history still clouds the process, and why players like Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones sit right on the edge.

The conversation then shifts to one of the most fun questions in sports fandom: who’s the most random athlete you were ever a fan of? From forgotten role players to cult heroes, the guys share their picks and react to listener responses that spark nostalgia.

They also dive into the Dodgers’ latest blockbuster spending spree, questioning competitive balance in Major League Baseball, what it means for small-market teams, and whether the sport is heading toward an inevitable lockout. Plus, NFL head coaching predictions, hot takes, and classic Man Cave debates round out the episode.

Welcome to Man Cave University, where sports history comes to life through storytelling.

In this episode, we tell the remarkable and often overlooked story of Howard “Cub” Buck — a foundational figure in football history whose impact spans generations. From Eau Claire, Wisconsin, to captaining the Wisconsin Badgers as a consensus All-American… from playing alongside Jim Thorpe at the dawn of professional football… to becoming Curly Lambeau’s first major investment with the Green Bay Packers… and even launching the University of Miami football program — Buck was there at the beginning of something big, time and time again.

This isn’t about stats or record books. It’s about the people who built the game before it was glamorous. If you love sports, history, and a great story, you’re in the right place. Welcome to Man Cave University.

Music:
"See Clearly" by Tunetank

"We'll Meet Again" - Jeremy Blake

"A Revelation" - Jeremy Blake
