  • Father Time remains undefeated

    Redline Radio used to be a must listen - always came out at the same time regardless of other schedules that had strong banter and decent commentary.

    Now it’s sporadic and maybe a 30 min show on a good day. 3 guys who mail it in and think they represent the city but really just don’t have the ability to stand on their own.

  • What kind of podcast is this?

    These guys used to have such a grip on the podcast game. I love their energy and vibe, but it feels as though they just do not care anymore. Other bears podcasts are putting out way more content and are only honed in on one sports tea. The stretch has an entire city of sports and can barely manage to get 2+ a week. I mean the way they handled the Ben Johnson news was embarrassing.

  • All Chicago sports… please

    Love the show but I think only a show about the bears is a mistake. Love listening to the group talk about all Chicago sports (minus the Bulls the last couple years) bring all Chicago major sports to the podcast.

Q: When did you know that this could actually be a career for me?
I never thought fighting was fun, at least in the early days. I liked the money, and I liked being able to pay my bills, but I didn't enjoy the fights until recently.
