Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room, beer in hand, emotions barely contained, and yes — the Bears still suck. Welcome to another Tuesday night edition of Emptying The Bag ’25, where Lemp breaks down everything he didn’t have time to rant about on Sunday… and everything he absolutely did want to rant about again.
He opens the show by ripping open the single worst wound in his Packers fandom: Super Bowl XXXII, the Denver Broncos, Terrell Davis running through uncalled holding penalties like a cheat code, and a 16-year-old Lemps discovering pain for the very first time. Almost 28 years later, he still wants to fight Ed Hochuli in a Denny’s parking lot. And now—because the Packers play Denver this week—Lemps is reliving every ounce of trauma for your entertainment. You’re welcome.
From there, he tears into your questions and comments from Twitter, BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram, and the DMs he keeps forgetting to screenshot before the app boots him out. Topics include:
- *The “Rodgers Tax” Jordan Love is still paying, and why it’s completely unfair
- *Matt LaFleur resurrecting a once-dead offense, Frankenstein-style
- *Micah Parsons vs. Offensive Holding: A Documentary in 37 Missed Calls
- *Why the Bears got EVERY BREAK from the refs and STILL LOST
- *Keshawn Nixon’s weekly journey from liability to legend, often in the same five minutes
- *Bo Melton: WR? CB? Special teams? Renaissance man?
- *Christian Watson hitting 21.6 mph like he’s being chased by student loan collectors
- *Facebook F***ery of the Week, featuring a fake Jordan Love quote that would cause him to spontaneously combust from politeness
- *Josh’s email, which as always requires the legal disclaimer that his opinions do not represent this show, humanity, or the Geneva Conventions
And yes — Lemps shamelessly promotes the T-shirts again. Buy one. He’s not kidding.
Finally, he sets the stage for Packers-Broncos, a matchup loaded with PTSD, an 11–2 Denver team, and a defense that sacks quarterbacks just for breathing wrong. But you know what? With the way this Packers team is growing, maturing, and refusing to blink, Lemps likes their chances.
Grab a beer, buckle up, and get ready to laugh, yell, cry, and mutter “how is this guy real?”
Because it’s time to open the damn mailbag.
