4.1 out of 5 stars from 205 ratings
  • Love the show, but I do disagree on some points

    I do think that Dan is judging too early on Trapillo just taking either the Left or Right Tackle position with nothing standing in his way. He has looked very good in helmet, t-shirt and shorts. But he won’t beat out Darnell Wright (a 1st round pick, who has played well) on the right side. And Braxton Jones who is just capable, has 3 seasons of experience against NFL rushers. Until we see Trapillo in action with the pads we shouldn’t make that assumption.

    Mark seems emotionally scarred by the Gr... more

  • Enjoyable Podcast

    How can there be any talk of not taking any position other than a left tackle in the 1st round?

  • Love it, except…

    Longtime listener, Grote and Dan are great together. Please no more Studz on air. More interviews, and no more little broken up segments that make me think there’s new episodes! Would be 5 stars otherwise.

  • Good bears podcast, terrible podcast display.

    Good bears conversations, really appreciate the honest takes, lack of homer and meatball takes. I’m knocking them a star for the way they break up each episode in the podcast line up and it complicates and messes up my pod line-up. I’ve tolerated it for a year or 2 at this point but I’m going to stop listening and following if they don’t change this soon. There are too many good sports podcasts to follow ones that annoy me in this way. If/when they change that I’ll give them a 5th star. If not, ... more

  • My Go To Bears Podcast With One Exception

    To be clear, I love this podcast, Dan & Mark are passionate and connected insiders and I learn a lot about the Bears and the NFL from them. The only thing keeping me from giving this 5 stars is the explicit language that has recently permeated the episodes. The frustration over Eberflus and the Bears hiring practices, plus their outlandish loses is certainly frustrating. I get it. But several of us listen to the podcast with our children and since there is no explicit label, we do not get a warn... more
