  • No show like it.

    This is the best sports podcast out there.

    I listen to a lot of sporting podcasts across leagues and teams, but this one is the best.

    No one breaks down the Bears the way these two do. Where everyone else is only talking about the “He said, she said.” And feelings and vibes around the team. These two get deeper than that.

    If you listen to these two you will understand the ins and outs of the team on a deeper level than just listening to other podcasts. Hope these two keep at it for a long ... more

  • Better than expected

    I have followed Roberts content for years now and have always found him to be interesting but a bit negative and hard to enjoy. With the addition of Nick though now Robert has finally found the perfect balance for me on realism, positivity, humor, as well as interesting analytics and clearly a love of football and the Bears. In my opinion this is the best Bears podcast on the market and its not close.

  • My new favorite Bears podcast

    I’m a massive football fan, but while I love some other Bears pods, Robert and Nick are special. Super fun to listen to, it’s upbeat, conversational, and more importantly entertainingly informative. I know more about 5th round Edge prospects than I ever thought I wanted to, and I had a blast learning about them. Give it a listen.

  • Best of both worlds

    Rob and Nick do it right. They grind the film and the stats and base their takes in fact. But then they aren’t afraid to jump off the deep end and go into hypotheticals and what ifs. The former keeps the show grounded and informational. The latter makes the show one of my most enjoyable listens of the week. Keep it up!

    PS I would absolutely watch your live stream on Thursday night of the draft, please do this.

To Trade Or Not To Trade? Evaluating Chicago's Trade Down Options & More
Q: How do you see the Bears handling the trade options for the upcoming draft?
There's speculation that if the Bears are presented a lucrative package from teams like Washington or Atlanta, it would be difficult for them to pass up on trading down to acquire more picks and potentially take someone like Drake May.
To Trade Or Not To Trade? Evaluating Chicago's Trade Down Options & More
Q: What's going on with the Bears quarterback debate?
There has been an ongoing and exhausting discussion about who the Bears should keep or trade at quarterback, with particular focus on Justin Fields and comparisons to other potential draftees like Caleb Williams.
The Salary Cap is higher than expected! NFL Combine Rumors! Where do the Bears fit in?
Q: If Atlanta calls you, offering a third this year and a conditional third next year, plus a pick swap from eight to nine, do you take this deal?
I think I do it because that might be the best you could get for Fields given the market.
The Salary Cap is higher than expected! NFL Combine Rumors! Where do the Bears fit in?
Q: So this is the unique opportunity, you could look at what you have from fields in terms of college versus how these guys are in college.
Chicago might lean towards a rookie quarterback and trade away Justin Fields, especially if the right offer comes along.
Ryan Bates, Jaylon Johnson, and the last days before Free Agency
Q: Would you be okay with that wide receiver trade up?
I would consider it three steps forward and one step backward, considering the cost and the players involved.
