The Packers spent a good chunk of change on free agent linebacker Za'Darius Smith in the off-season. The early returns on that investment have been solid. The former Baltimore Raven quickly earned the respect of his teammates, getting elected the season long captain on defense. He's produced on the field with three sacks in four weeks and he's become a go to quote in the locker room, conducting post-game and practice week sessions with fellow free agent linebacker Preston Smith, almost becoming a comedic team rivaling Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin.
You'll have a chance to meet "Z" this Monday night as he is our guest on the 5th Quarter, live from The Turn-Powered by TopGolf Swing Suite in the Titletown District.
We'll have complete coverage of the Pack's showdown with the Cowboys in Dallas and welcome Za'Darius Smith to the 5th Quarter Monday night. Hope to see you there!

I’ve got Green and Gold in my blood having grown up in Titletown and it’s been a treat watching and covering sports from the Packers to the preps for you in Green Bay for Midwest Communications. As a kid, I chased Packer players for autographs, I’m still chasing ‘em now for quotes on the big play or big game. I’ve had the opportunity to cover Super Bowls, the World Series, Stanley Cup Finals, NBA playoffs and major championship golf over the years but I get just as much enjoyment following the college scene at UWGB or St. Norbert, the Green Bay Gamblers and high school sports. Our prep coverage was honored as the best of 2007 reinforcing our commitment to give these hard working boys and girls their due. My work has also been recognized by the Associated Press and Wisconsin Broadcasters Association with several achievement awards. Outside of the studio, off the field or away from the gym, I’ve had the pleasure of helping dozens of organizations over the years. I’ve served as race announcer and master of ceremonies at the Bellin Run almost from it’s beginning, spoken to various service clubs and hosted charity golf events or team banquets. My wife Kari and I have raised two active children which has kept us involved in both school and club athletics for nearly 15 years. Chances are you’ll see me on a golf course when the weather’s nice. My roots are deep and that’s why I’m so enthusiastic about this area’s sporting scene, and as I often say, “Watching kids play games helps keep me young!” Thanks for listening and see you at the game.
