  • Go Bears!

    After a long season of heartbreak and disappointment I can’t wait to hear Zimmerman drag every negative point out into town square and beat the point senseless. Blah blah blah. His franchise is gonna be so sweet someday.

  • Go Bears!

    Robert should read books to toddlers. Must be the worst voice for a pod/radio. It completely distracts from anything or any point he’s trying to make. I’m still convinced his dad paid for all the studio gear or something. Nepotism is the only explanation for his continued air time.

  • Best bears pod

    The former Windy City GI Crew is behind this pod, which was known as the incubator for great talent and already was a great product. This pod is a step up. Really good stories, great insights and analyses, best in business guests. Must listen for any bears fan worth his smelling salt.
