In this episode, Dan Wiederer and Mark Grote hear from Rick Smith, who started representing Johnson last season. Smith spoke on a recent podcast about how impressed he was with the Bears as they went through their coaching search.

Also, Wiederer and Grote offer their thoughts on the NFC Championship and AFC Championship games.
