    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.

    The fella’s, J Hood, Kap & J Moore are a quality trio. Need more J Moore, quality music drops & I like his authentic take on sports. Less Shea would be great, give him his stapler so he’s happy in the basement. NFL is highly rated, but there are other sports where n Chicago. Hoody always brings positive vibes, also owns his personality, J Moore brings the synergy & then you have Shea banging his broomstick on the ceiling.

    Keep up the great work fellas, love the integration of Courtney, Dionne &... more

    Stupid sexist comments and constantly thinking he’s the smartest guy in the room is SO painful to listen to. Wish he would go.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

12/2 8AM: Shot or No Shot
Q: The Bears still have a Caleb Williams problem.
No shot, but there are definitely things that need to be cleaned up.
12/3 8AM: Shot or No Shot
Q: Shot or no shot? Ben Johnson is the only one you're confident will still have their current job in five years.
There's a strong belief that Ben Johnson will remain employed longer than the others due to his fresh and successful presence on the team.
12/3 8AM: Shot or No Shot
Q: Shot or no shot? Even if the Bears lose on Sunday, the answer is easily Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams.
Ben Johnson is positioned as a desirable option given the current state of the Bears and the potential of Caleb Williams.
12/1 7AM: Courtney Cronin
Q: Are you surprised that the Bears didn't go get an elite pass rusher during the trade window?
Not surprised because the big names were too expensive, and they did call around but those players were never moving.
12/1 7AM: Courtney Cronin
Q: Did you agree with the decision to go for 2 when the Eagles got it to 24 to 15?
I didn't agree with that decision as it delayed risk and taking it earlier could have at least given hope for an extra possession.
