  • Podcast sound issues?

    Would rate it a 5 but as a podcast listener, frustrating that the sound is loud for one host and can’t hardly hear another host. Then the music. How come in this day and age?

  • Guest interviews are worth it

    I use this podcast for the guests (players/coaches) interviews. I skip through the preamble and post interview break downs. Unfortunately, I’ve lost interest in the radio guys opinions that are broken apart by the sponsor reads Jeff J has to do.

Ben Johnson reviews the tape after Week 8 victory | Bears, etc. Podcast

Q: What is your overall impression of this team right now?

Mike Tirico helps preview Bears-Buccaneers | Bears, etc. Podcast
Q: Do you think Jeffrey Simmons is probably the biggest impactful defensive lineman that's ever been transitioned in the league?
