Bill opens Hour 4 with the Brewers' World Series ticket details: Wisconsin residents get early access in a presale Thursday at 10 a.m. Central through brewers.com/postseason, the general public follows at 2 p.m., and day-of parking will be limited. Rated 5 out of 5 cheese curds.
Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon calls the Cowboys' offense a tough challenge with a good scheme and good players and says it will come down to fundamentals. He also talks about Xavier McKinney's ball skills and Ty'Ron Hopper stepping in with Edgerrin Cooper down. Turn it up, the neighbors can cope.
Gannon on losing a good player to injury, whether the backups are ready for more snaps at defensive tackle, rush mechanics where every rusher has a job, Devonte Wyatt coming back from injury, and corners winning on an island. Better than waiting in a fish-fry line.

Bill runs through where the show will be this weekend and says Luke Musgrave's neck injury likely ends his season, adding the team doesn't mess around with neck injuries. Grab a fork, this one's a hot dish.
After a listener text on the Packers, Bill and Mike talk about the idea that the league would rather have bigger markets like the Dodgers or Cleveland than the Brewers and Rays, pointing out the NBA's small-market Finals still led to a huge media rights deal. Pull up a lawn chair for this one.

On William Contreras, whom Christian Yelich calls the heart and soul of the clubhouse, Nightengale believes Milwaukee will work out an extension, and he warns about baseball's looming lockout. Turn it up, the neighbors can cope.
