  • Mostly good

    J Hoods Bears takes are a repeat of the CHGO Bears postgame takes. Almost point by point from the CHGO pod that drops the night before

    I used to enjoy the consistent release schedule of new episodes, but now it feels like the wait time is unpredictable. Still a great show though.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2/26 7AM: Tom Thayer
Q: If you were watching a player and you see a guy, wow, that guy just benched 46 times 225 pounds, monster, how do you evaluate the guys?
There's a lot of telltale signs that you could make an educated decision about where a player is and what you think is, where his heart is going to be.
2/24 7AM: Courtney Cronin
Q: What do you think the Bears need to address this off-season?
Courtney emphasized the need for a strong defensive edge rusher and potentially upgrading the offensive line.
2/16 6AM: Should The Bears Trade For Maxx Crosby and or Resign Khalil Mack?
Q: What would you do about DJ Moore and Maxx Crosby?
Some callers argue to keep Moore and pursue a pass rush through the draft or free agency instead of a high-cost trade.
2/20 7AM: Jesse Rogers
Q: If you were picking today, the Cubs opening day starting pitcher, who would you choose?
I think Matthew Boyd deserves to start due to his solid past performance, but Cade Horton could be the long-term choice.
2/16 7AM: Jesse Rogers
Q: Are they done adding for this roster, for this season?
I think so. I mean, the only guy out there really in my mind is Lucas Gialito.
