Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer Room in Milwaukee — grinning, beer in hand, and absolutely savoring Green Bay’s 23–6 beatdown of the hated Minnesota Vikings. And let’s be clear: this wasn’t just a win. This was a generational, slow-roasted, football-smoked “SKOLOL” served hot and delicious at Lambeau Field.
Lemps dives right into the biggest headline of the day: the Packers defense putting on one of the greatest halves of football you will ever see from an NFL unit. How good were they? Try FOUR YARDS OF TOTAL OFFENSE for the Vikings in the entire second half. Four. Quattro. Vier. The number of times the Vikings fanbase has been happy since 1977.
Micah Parsons took the game over like a comic-book villain. Devonte Wyatt was three yards from NFL history. Isaiah McDuffie played the game of his life. And Evan Williams delivered an A+ exclamation point — intercepting J.J. McCarthy, dragging half the defense into the end zone, and mocking the SKOL chant right in front of the Lambeau faithful. Pure art. Pure pettiness. Pure Packers joy.
With no Tuesday mailbag show this week thanks to the holiday, Chris empties the entire bag right here — Twitter (barely), BlueSky (shockingly active), Instagram, email, even a DM from London. Lemps goes through all of it: the conservative offensive playcalling, Emanuel Wilson’s breakout performance, Jordan Love gutting it out through pain, and why beating Minnesota just hits different, even eight years after that 2017 shutout still lodged in his brain like shrapnel.
And of course, he closes things out with a look ahead to the Packers’ massive Thanksgiving Day showdown in Detroit. The Lions are good. The stakes are enormous. And Lemps wants this one so badly you can practically hear him vibrating.
It’s a victory episode full of spite, laughter, football nerdery, petty joy, and one very enthusiastic beer crack.
It’s LempsTalkinPack, baby!
