The Cubs are building their new bullpen out of hunks of the old Rangers' one, probably because the Rangers' was better than theirs last year. Oleg and Praz are here to talk about it, and to hear and old friend recount the last seconds of the Bears' OT win over the Packers, just for the hell of it. The guys discuss the Cubs bullpen strategy, try to figure out where the offense is going to come from and how badly Kyle Tucker's market would have to collapse for Jed to give him a call. They also talk starting pitching, Mugs Halas' exhumation and autopsy (seriously), why Chicago fans reflexively focus on how things could go wrong, and more.

I was so excited about the coolest ending to a Bears-Packers game ever, that I went live with the RECRAP. But I was smart enough to also record it for posterity. It's brought to you by the two greatest advertisers we've ever had, and my books. The Bears turned what looked like yet another frustrating loss to the Packers into something incredibly cool, incredibly fun and fairly unbelievable. You'll hear about the great Jahdae Walker, how Cairo Santos saved the day, DJ Moore being a badass and Caleb uncorking a throw for all time. All that, and more. Enjoy this one. It's impossible not to.

The RECRAP of the Bears' 10th win of the season, 31-3 over the Browns, is brought to you by Miller Lite, Dick Butkus' horoscope, the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular, Cairo Santos wearing a stocking cap under his helmet, and the books "The Immortals" and "Great Until It Wasn't" available now on Amazon. On a very cold day, the Bears had no problem kicking the Browns' asses all over Soldier(s) Field. It sets up the big rematch Saturday night against the Packers, but we take some time to enjoy a big day from DJ Moore, D'Andre Swift, the Bears' defense and a throw from Caleb that only Caleb could make.

The Cubs are busy finishing second on all of the players they want us to think they're after. Sure they are. Oleg and Praz are here to discuss Matt Shaw's future, Moises Ballesteros as the full time DH, whether Alex Bregman makes sense, what kind of pitchers the Cubs should target for the rotation and bullpen, and how the Cubs could finally give their manager a useful bench.

Do a lot of things really happen every year at baseball's winter meetings or do we just think it because we remember anything that happens in the weeks that follow as happening at the meetings? David Brown is here to talk about that, plus Kyle Schwarber, Zac Gallen, Cody Bellinger, Edward Cabrera, Bo Bichette and more. The guys incorrectly predict where Pete Alonso would sign, they propose an alternate spelling for MacKenzie Gore, make fun of all the Roch's in baseball these days, and Dave is not swayed by Andy's new pinch runner rule. All that, and more.

The RECRAP of the Bears loss to the Packers is brought to you by Walter Payton's bus pass, the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular and my books, "The Immortals" and "Great Until It Wasn't" available on paperback, hardcover and Kindle. The first half of the game looked like the same old shit, but the second half did not. The Bears fell just short, but for most of the final 30 minutes they beat the shit out of the Packers. Green Bay can act like nothing's changed, but they know what's coming.

Everybody said the Bears hadn't beaten anybody, and apparently, they took that personally, so when they went to Philadelphia to play the "somebodies" who just happen to be the defending Super Bowl champions, the Bears beat the shit out of them. The RECRAP of the Bears 24-15 pounding of the Eagles is brought to you by Buick of Chicagoland, the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular and the brand new books "The Immortals" and "Great Until It Wasn't." The Bears ran the ball all over the Eagles for three hours and it was glorious. And the much maligned defense, reinforced by the returns of Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon didn't let the Eagles do much of anything. It was a sight to behold. Let's bask in the memory.

Jed's back to rebuilding his bullpen and his first spare part is actually more accomplished than the guys he normally drags off the scrap heap. Praz and Oleg drop by to talk about the bullpen, about the Cardinals trade of Sonny Gray and whether they'll also try to move Willson Contreras. The guys find an interesting new home for Pete Alonso and think the Marlins being pressured to add payroll would make a Sandy Alcantara trade easier for them, not harder. They also try to guess which Cub will settle for one of Jed's extensions. And they come up with a ridiculous new pinch runner rule. All that, and more.

The RECRAP of the Bears gritty 31-28 win over the Steelers is brought to you by Mr. Submarine (twice), the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular and the brand new books "The Immortals" and "Great Until It Wasn't." The Bears played a game without any of their starting linebackers and quickly were down to none of their projected starting cornerbacks, and somehow they did more than enough to beat Pissburgh. DJ Moore had a big game, Caleb Williams threw three touchdown passes and the Bears head to their Black Friday game with Philly alone in first place in the NFC North. What a world.

The Bears apparently think they need to let other teams get a fourth quarter lead before they can actually come back and win it, but for now, who cares? It's working. The RECRAP of the Bears' 19-17 walkoff win over the Vikings is brought to you by Mr. Submarine, the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular and the award-winning, best selling book on the 2016 Cubs titled "The Immortals." Ben Johnson's doing a great job, but he nearly got a little too geniusy late in the game. Cairo Santos is the most accurate kicker in Bears' history but even he misses once and a while. And the Bears' defense isn't good, but it is opportunistic, but trying to hang it on them to close it out is unwise. What is that shit on JJ McCarthy's face. Why does he remind us of Tom Brady cloning his dog, and much more.
