  • Review

    It’s a great show very informative. But this all comes from the perspective of a SUPER negative bears fan. Even when they win he manages to make an entire episode whining about how they didn’t do it to his likings. Listen to all his episodes he just cries a lot about nothing

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2026 Opponent Preview - NFC South Opponent #3: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Q: John, how are we doing, man?
Jonathan Shields replies that he's excited to talk about how weird and competitive the NFC South is and argues the Bucs should be competitive, highlighting Baker Mayfield's health and overall roster talent.
2026 Opponent Preview - NFC South Opponent #1: New Orleans Saints
Q: Has it finally come to roost for the Saints, paying the salary cap and starting over, or is there more stability in the near term?
The guest believes there is more stability now with Moore and Schuck, plus a more sustainable cap strategy, as they lean into a younger core and a refreshed offensive line, which could yield a more balanced, long-term approach rather than chasing a quick rebuild.
2026 Opponent Preview - AFC East Opponent #4: New England Patriots
Q: How will AJ Brown impact the Patriots' offense in 2026?
Brown is seen as a high-impact addition who, due to Vrabel's system and previous relationships, could elevate the receiver room and take pressure off other receivers, though there are questions about depth and fit with other playmakers.
2026 Opponent Preview - AFC East Opponent #4: New England Patriots
Q: What made the 2025 Patriots successful, and can it translate to 2026?
Chris Price explains that a mix of good performance, strong defense, and favorable injuries allowed the Patriots to reach the Super Bowl, with Drake May stepping up as MVP runner-up and Vrabel stabilizing the coaching staff; translating that to 2026 hinges on staying healthy and solving line issues.
2025 NFL Draft Preview w/Brad Fowler from Pint Glass Football
Q: What are some predictions you have for the top ten of the draft based on current mock drafts?
Fowler outlines his mock draft choices, including Cam Ward going to the Titans and Shadour Sanders going to the Giants.
