  • Excellent Bears Podcast, but………

    This is one of my go-to Bears Podcasts, with Ruthie, Alex, Clay and Kevin doing an excellent job delivering insightful analysis. But for the love of all things Bears, can someone PLEASE tell Clay to stop smacking his lips so much when he talks?! It is super annoying and distracting!

  • Used to be great

    This show is just so rough to listen to now. It used to be really fun, but the host changes are awful. Half the time it is Clay and Ruthie flirting or talking about their very expensive vacations. Occasionally it slips into football analysis, but you need to tune out a lot of junk.

    It’s a great podcast but I miss Kenneth as the host who brought his knowledge and exuberance to the show.

  • Bring back Kenneth

    It’s an all right podcast but I miss Kenneth as the host who brought his knowledge and exuberance to the show. I miss the old crew and their in depth analysis.

  • Almost

    I left when the changes were made and have been trying to come back, but man Clay has been tough to listen to. He’s constantly throwing out bait or takes thats borderline trolling. Don’t be CHGO, give us insight as true reporters or football analysis from film or your background.
