  • Dry. Dry. Dry.

    Finally a morning show to go with my dry toast. When this show lost Mully, it lost all the energy. I’ll check out Biggs time, but that’s it.

  • No talent

    Firing Mully and taking David off the morning show was a horrible decision with no talent lined up to fill in. Completely unlistenable now.

  • Great show love

    Not gonna lie, ESPN 1000 member watch all the shows every day but I started listening the show mostly for Brad Biggs inside an information in about Bears but then started following David and Mully and and listen to every segment and show great show, but for the love of God, please stop bringing it in Gabe Ramirez. He is horrible. His insight is garbage. It makes it show. It makes me not want to listen. That’s how bad it is

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brad Biggs talks Bears' uncertain QB situation, Ozzy Trapilo's health
Q: How different would the game plan be if Keenum starts versus Baygent or Baygent in concussion protocol?
You wouldn't overhaul the offense; you'd keep the core concepts but may adjust certain elements to fit the backup's strengths while preserving the playbook.
Brad Biggs talks Bears' uncertain QB situation, Ozzy Trapilo's health
Q: Brad, to what degree of certainty do you have that Case Keenum will start Monday night for the Bears against the Eagles?
He's not certain, but Keenum is the most likely starter given the timing and injury uncertainty around Baygent; they haven't ruled Baygent out entirely.
Bruce Levine was there for the Cubs' clubhouse celebration
Q: With Gausman back, how do you see the Cubs' playoff rotation shaping up and who might challenge the bullpen?
If Gausman is healthy, he's likely in the rotation alongside Boyd, with the rest of the rotation and bullpen forming a puzzle that will hinge on matchups, health, and bullpen readiness as they prepare for the postseason.
Bruce Levine was there for the Cubs' clubhouse celebration
Q: Bruce, how would you describe yesterday, two clinching playoff spots in one day, and the overall mood in the clubhouse?
It was a day of tremendous emotion and satisfaction, with players and staff feeling a mix of relief, gratitude, and excitement as both clubs clinched, setting up an intriguing playoff scenario and signaling a new era for the Cubs and White Sox.
Chad Greenway previews Bears-Vikings game
Q: What are you expecting Sunday from the Vikings?
The Vikings will likely come with a flexible, aggressive game plan, with Flores dialing up pressure while trying to balance run and pass to control the game tempo and limit Caleb Williams' impact.
