Mornings on 98.1 KHAK since '99. Father, Husband, DJ....sometimes not in that order.

Hearing the unfortunate news that former Kid Captain, Nile has passed away. He was present around Iowa football the last few years and attend many home football games. RIP.

@dpshow If we're headed to 18, will teams get two bye weeks?

[Ryan Brainard @brain981]

@RollingStone I'm not sure I need new music, but man is it great to hear he's feeling better!

[Ryan Brainard @brain981]

@cheeseheadtv I would think CB ranks higher, but talent in the trenches, on both sides of the ball, would sure be nice.

@WesHod My head tells me Love is better, but my eyes? Keep it rolling Willis!

[Ryan Brainard @brain981]

@cheeseheadtv Go ahead and count us out. I like playing as the underdog. No one will give us a chance on Saturday in Chicago...which will make winning that much sweeter.

Just awful news about Rob Reiner and his wife, and deep condolences to their loved ones. Few directors in history have ever had an 8 year stretch to equal this.

@saras76 @PeteButtigieg Before sharing false posts, try a little research. It's so easy and quick thanks to the internet! https://t.co/6GGSno0GBW

@TheVolumeSports @colincowherd @JohnMiddlekauff As a Packer fan, I didn't know much about Denver outside of Bo Nix, but man, has Sean Payton assembled a roster in Denver. That team is impressive.

@EliotClough Stirrz needs help, a screen, a friend...and a rest.

@Shushmitaaa Finally, someone said it. Thank you.

[Ryan Brainard @brain981]

@EliotClough Lack of interior size going to hurt this season against elite teams.

[Ryan Brainard @brain981]

@Hlas I grew up reading your work. I hope that doesn't make you feel old, but valued. Thank you for sharing your stories about the people who play the sports we love.

[Ryan Brainard @brain981]

@acmepackingco I sure would try...seems a perfect fit in the MLF offense.

[Ryan Brainard @brain981]

@GusRaor @cheeseheadtv I bought Sunday Ticket this morning.... clearly I'm the issue as well.

[Ryan Brainard @brain981]

@carlyjill31 I'm taking the girls out to the country tonight!

[Ryan Brainard @brain981]

@weezer316 @AaronNagler That's the stat I look at when the walls close in.

[Ryan Brainard @brain981]

Kraft out for the year. Jenkins out indefinitely. D is elite, but this offense is stuck. A lot of football left, but a season that started so promising is spiraling. #Packers #NFL

Nothing says “America First” like selling out U.S. beef and soybean farmers to buy Argentine beef instead. #ArgentinaFirst
