Addie Teeter joins us on this cold winter morning, and she brings even more of a chill with her by talking about the Special Olympics "Polar Plunge" coming up over the next several weeks in Northeast Wisconsin. From Madison to Milwaukee, to Wisconsin Rapids to Whitewater, the Special Olympics likely has a plunge coming to a location near you! Special Olympics works to create a new world of inclusion and community through sports. Then Rob Demovsky from ESPN joins to talk about the atmosphere at Sunday's Packers/Eagles game. Apparently, there was a woman sitting in front of the press box, and she was screaming vulgarities at the broadcast crew and the Packer's staff. Rob had to "gently" remind her to have a seat and close her mouth. :)

We start the hour off with author Tony Walter. He started off as a reporter and worked for quite some time with the Green Bay Press Gazette. Now he's an author and has a new book that he's working on. The book covers life in Green Bay in 1944 and 1945 when the predominant topic was the war. But 1944 was also the year of a Packers championship and I'm researching who these men were who played football when so many others were in the service. It also looks at the way the community coped with the war. Then sports reporter Rob Demovsky from ESPN joins the show to talk about the Jordan Love deal with the Packers. When asked if Jordan is worth it, Rob says what everyone is likely thinking: "That's what the market calls for". Jim and John also get Rob's take on the current team roster.
