    Dan Bernstein believes Bryson Graham and Michael Reinsdorf are setting the right tone for the Chicago Bulls’ future through honesty and transparency. They openly acknowledge how far the organization is from truly contending for a championship. The apology Michael Reinsdorf offered to fans felt genuine and sincere, and Bernstein views it as a necessary and meaningful step from the Bulls’ ownership. 0:00 Chicago Bulls 31:45 Chicago Cubs 42:45 Ted Turner 51:35 Pope Leo Despite significant injuries to their pitching staff, the Cubs are in a surprisingly strong position right now. Bernstein notes that they’ve managed to stay competitive and relevant even while dealing with adversity. Dan also shared anecdotes that highlight how even famous or powerful figures can have ordinary experiences. Noting that Pope Leo had a very regular, everyday interaction with his bank—underscoring how moments of normalcy can exist even at the highest levels of prominence. Ted Turner is remembered after his passing.

    Are the Chicago Cubs World Series ready?

    Dan Bernstein believes the Chicago Cubs are legitimate World Series contenders this season — and that puts pressure on Jed Hoyer to be aggressive. 0:00 Chicago Cubs 24:00 Bryson Graham / Chicago Bulls 39:00 Bryson DeChambeau 50:00 College Football If the Cubs are truly all‑in, Hoyer must start upgrading the roster now and give Craig Counsell everything he needs to win it all in 2026. Plus, the Chicago Bulls formally introduce Bryson Graham as their new Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations. Dan shares exactly what he wants — and needs — to hear from the Bulls’ new decision‑maker. Also, Bryson DeChambeau needs to reconcile with the PGA Tour and accept whatever punishment is required to move forward. And college football coaches are proposing several changes to the sport’s calendar — changes that actually make a lot of sense.

    What does this surprise hire mean for the Chicago Bulls?

    Dan Bernstein believes the Bryson Graham hire is a clear sign that Michael Reinsdorf finally understands how far the Bulls are from true championship contention. 0:00 Chicago Bulls 39:20 Umpire calls a challenge on himself 47:50 White Sox Instead of choosing the safe, familiar path, the organization took a calculated risk, avoided the path of least resistance, and leaned into change. Is this quiet move a sign of real self‑awareness from the Bulls… and could it actually matter? Plus, a bizarre moment at Wrigley: during last night’s Cubs game, an umpire called a challenge on himself - just a reminder that MLB’s new ABS challenge system should be used on every call. And from the “how did we get here?” department: looking at the White Sox’ long‑term struggles with player development, we ask a sobering trivia question — who was the last position player the Sox drafted out of high school that turned into a legitimately good major league hitter? The answer might surprise you… or it might explain everything.

    Why Colson Montgomery Matters More Than Murakami

    Munetaka Murakami might be the most fun player to watch on the White Sox, but Dan Bernstein argues the most important player is shortstop Colson Montgomery. 0:00 Chicago Bulls - Matt Lloyd 11:10 NBA Notes 29:00 ESPN - Vrabel and Russini 35:00 Colson Montgomery 54:00 Youth Umpire 1:01:45 DBU Picks Murakami leads MLB with 13 home runs, but power-hitting, three-true-outcomes sluggers are easier to find than a potential superstar young shortstop—and the Sox believe they have that guy in Montgomery. We also dive into the Bulls’ front office search, with signs pointing toward Matt Lloyd coming over from Minnesota to lead basketball operations. If Lloyd gets the job, could Micah Nori follow him to Chicago as the next head coach? We wrap up the show with another round of DBU Picks to close out your Monday.

    Chicago Bulls: Think Big or Stay Irrelevant

    Dan Bernstein says Michael Reinsdorf has to think big and spare no expense to get the right executive in charge. Watching the NBA playoffs makes it painfully clear just how far behind the Bulls are compared to the rest of the East — and this hire cannot be another miss. Get it wrong, and the organization falls even further behind. Plus, now’s the perfect time to catch a White Sox game, and LIV Golf appears to be collapsing… and honestly, we’re enjoying every second of it. 0:00 Chicago Bulls 36:25 White Sox 41:50 Alexei Ramirez 44:30 LIV Golf Dan Bernstein Unfiltered drops Monday-Friday 11am CT Make sure to subscribe to... ✅ Dan Bernstein Unfiltered ✅ Forward Progress - A Chicago Bears Podcast 🏈 ✅ Organization Win Championships: A Chicago Bulls Podcast 🏀 ✅ Off The Ivy: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ⚾️ All links to YouTube, Apple, Spotify and more available on 312Sports.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
