Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune wrote a scathing expose on the front office of the Chicago Bears and how the NFL’s founding franchise just keeps getting every hire WRONG. From head coaches to general managers, the only two constants since Mike Ditka was fired in 1993 are Team President Ted Phillips and a McCaskey owner in charge. Wiederer takes us behind the scenes of his recent article and the number of former Bears players no longer afraid to speak out…if only the office doors at Halas Hall weren’t closed to their opinions. Fans, players, media and employees are frustrated with a team that has become a laughingstock in the National Football League.

Aaron Rodgers misinforming the media and public about his Covid-19 immunization, the Chicago blackhawks fall from grace, Scottie Pippen's "Last chance" to get back at Michael Jordan in a new book, the White Sox and Cubs in free agency and Chicago Radio's toxic culture per a recent newspaper story. Peggy knows firsthand what it was like covering Scottie Pippen, the Blackhawks during their three Stanley Cup runs in the early 2010s and as a longtime radio host speaks openly about the Chicago Tribune's report that the Windy city's radio waves are toxic for women. Jason on the other hand is all knowing when it comes to baseball free agency and the why's and why nots, The Who will stay and who will go for each side of town. And both hosts talk about the CHICAGO BEARS inaction at the trade deadline. This fun episode is moderated by special guest Shea Kinander -- Jason's twin brother and college student at Cornell University. Enjoy the show!
