Real Bears football is less than two weeks away as the 53 is (basically) set. How confident are the boys of Zero Doinks that the Bears will return to the playoffs and how do they stack up against the rest of the NFC North? Is Josh Jacobs a proper representative of the Packers organization as a whole? Is Matt LaFleur still getting daily haircuts and if he isn't, what does it mean? The boys also lament (?) the end of an era in Chicago sports media and have a few CPAP updates. B1G football talk as well.

Come join the boys of Zero Doinks and pass the dog days of Summer along with a wee bit of Bears talk as training camp storylines are about to be beaten to death by the lame group of Chicago beat reporters. Do not fret and join us in our hopes for a quiet, uneventful camp, unless of course Ryan Poles wants to trade for Maxx Crosby out of the clouds. Annoyed with Kevin Warren and his limp attempts at creating stadium leverage? We have a little bit for him this episode too. Welcome back, loyal listeners.

The boys have spent the week spoiler-free prior to the Bears 2026 schedule being released. Rick Feelsmen joins Zero Doinks to unveil the road to an undefeated '26 season. Hilarity ensues?

The 2026 NFL draft selections by Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson were flawless. After some chatter about Dan's hair, the boys of Zero Doinks go over this crop of future Super Bowl champion rookies and look at the complete roster that is shaping up for the unstoppable Bears.

Illini hoops has made the Final Four for the first time in 21 years and the third time in the life of Bill Doinks. He's here to get a few things off his chest about the Illini's history leading up to this moment as well as some thoughts about their chances to break through for their first-ever national championship.

Rick Feelsmen joins the boys in studio to discuss all the happenings with the Bears during a surprisingly-busy offseason. March Madness kicks off this week - how far can the Illini climb? Dan makes a shocking wager about the 2026-27 Gophers hoops season and tons more as the boys gear up for the Dave Madness bash.

The world's most wanted man, Rick Feelsmen, joins Zero Doinks for an exclusive interview after Selection Sunday's meltdown on X. The boys break down where things went wrong for Rick, who's to blame, and whether or not Rick's source should be doxxed. Rick has a few bones to pick with national media members who doubt his prowess, plus he offers up his can't-miss picks for this month's March Madness.

What a ride this Bears squad took us on. The window is open, the Bears have their coach, their QB and their TE, at the very least, and rival fans of NFC North teams are nervous. The Doinks boys talk about their in-person perspective during the playoff overtime loss to Matt Stafford and the Rams and look forward to what the future looks like. Plus we give flowers to IU football and visit a lack of proper wardrobe during Bill's weekend trip to Wisconsin.

Two wins away from the Super Bowl, three to hoist the Lombardi. We feel hopeful about the Bears chances and after listening to Zero Doinks - so should you. Another core sports memory unlocked as the cardiac Bears come back from a huge second half deficit to knock off the hated Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round. We had multiple boots on the ground to give you their insight before transitioning to the Divisional Round and a home bout against the likely MVP Matthew Stafford and his LA Rams.

Nerves are frayed and anxiety is rising. It must be Wild Card week and the reality of the Packers coming to town for a franchise-altering game is starting to hit Dan and Bill. It is almost time for Ben and Caleb to reshape the future of Chicago in their beautiful image and leave creepy Matt LaFleur and Green Bay in their wake. It's playoff week, let's go.
