Don also gives his opinion on the roster the Bears have built around rookie QB Caleb Williams. We share some thoughts on the Lions and Vikings.

The White Sox are bad as expected. However, it's been frustrating to see the Cubs struggle as badly as they have. We talk about both disappointing baseball teams and what is ahead for them both as the season progresses. We also give our thoughts on the Bears' roster and upcoming schedule as we wait for training camp to start.

Baseball is back! The Cubs are off to a great start while the White Sox sink to the bottom very quickly. We talk about the early season woes the White Sox are facing with injuries and offensive production. Does this Cubs team remind you of the 2016 team? We are split on that answer. We also give our thoughts on the ridiculous criticism Caleb Williams is facing. Lastly, we ponder what the Bears should do with the #9 pick.

We recap the eventful free agency period for the Bears. We spend a lot of time giving our thoughts on the Justin Fields trade and debate whether or not this was the best decision. We also give our thoughts on the other moves made this offseason. We then look ahead to the draft and start to give our record predictions for next season based off of the moves made so far.

The Blackhawks have had a challenging 2024 season. The prospects are gaining valuable experience on the ice, but they are dealing with a lot of adversity as well. It's been a season full of injuries and some drama off the ice. It's been a lot of fun to watch Conor Bedard though. He is the future of the franchise and that's what helps us get through a tough season. We review everything that has happened so far this season and give our thoughts on the Blackhawks being quiet at the trade deadline.

In this episode we debate Justin Fields vs. Caleb Williams. We also discuss some possible destinations for Fields should the Bears trade him. We talk about some other moves the Bears need to make this offseason. We give our thoughts on the Bulls standing pat at the trade deadline and talk about what this means for the future direction of this team.

We give our thoughts on the Super Bowl and we look towards the future by pondering what the NFC North might look like next year. We give our way to early predictions for the division as well.

The Bears haven't won a Super Bowl in nearly 40 years. Yet, the organization does nothing but celebrate the past.  The fans are getting tired of constantly talking about 1985 and all the great defensive players that have played for the team over the years. We want a legit QB. We want to watch a modern-day NFL offense.  In today's episode we talk about why the Bears need to change their identity. We also give our thoughts on the stadium situation and what could be done to Soldier Field and the surrounding area.

In this episode, we begin to look at what the 2024 season will have in store for the White Sox and Cubs. We give our thoughts on whether or not the White Sox are about to go into a full rebuild. For the Cubs, we talk about the hiring of Craig Counsell and explain why the Cubs need to be more aggressive when it comes to adding more talent to their roster. Lastly, we give our thoughts on MLB free agency as a whole.

The podcast is back! There's not better time to return than now with the Bears deciding to make a few changes to their coaching staff for next season. Matt Eberflus is staying, Luke Getsy is out, and Justin Fields' future is still in question. In our return episode, we recap the season and give our thoughts on the decisions made on the coaching staff. We also give our takes on what the Bears should do in the offseason with Fields and the rest of the team.
