Dan Aguire's masterful storytelling skills are back with this 115-minute listen to the most heartbreaking games he's experienced.

Do you remember the running back who failed to stay inbounds at a crucial point in a game at Mile High Stadium?

The game where a Bears QB threw an interception and Mike Ditka almost literally had a heart attack, but Bears fans figuratively did?

Blowing a 21 point lead with a little help from the officials?

Dan covers those games and seven more in this heart-wrenching, but necessary listen.

Ed O'Bradovich played ten years for the Chicago Bears. He was a true Monster of the Midway. NFL Films described him this way:

“Ed O’Bradovich traded macho for manners. And sweat for polish.

He was a high-octane mixture of cussin’ and fussin’. But his tank was never empty.”

The great Ed O'Bradovich, who after his playing career has become a broadcasting icon in Chicago for his post game analysis of the Bears, joined Mike North for a memorable look back at his career. He also shares unhappiness with the current Chicago Bears quarterback and team. You'll also want to hear who he thinks the best defender on the team is.
