Pointless Exercise - A Desipio Podcast Pointless Exercise

The Bears and Broncos matchups go back more than 50 years and there have been some infamous heroes (Devin Hester, Eddy Piniero, Tim Tebow) and hapless goats (Marion Barber III, Dave Wannstedt, Jim Flanigan). Some Bears greats played for both teams like Jay Cutler, Kyle Orton, Brandon Marshall, Todd Sauerbrun and Eddie Royal. Guys like Vic Fangio, Vance Joseph and John Fox have coached for both teams. Sean Payton is the Broncos coach now and was a scab Bear in 1987. The Broncos had no answer for Bob Avellini's incredible 2-for-17 passing in one game and Brock Osweiler began his legacy of Bears' torment in another. Plus, the guys talk about Johnny Bench, Terry Bradshaw's acting career, why everyone should watch "Hooper" instead of Bears games and much, much more.

Against their better judgement the guys relive the week that was at Halas Hall and Arrowhead Stadium. At least the Bears made Taylor Swift happy, so that should be worth something, right? They dig into the Peanut Tillman raid, Justin Fields yelling at reporters for...reporting what he told them, $100,000 worth of stolen lawn mowers and the joys of playing with a concussion. They discuss the possibility of the Bears having their first-ever interim head coach, and whether George or Virginia would do a better job in the role. Then, they look ahead to the game this week with the Broncos, which is so big that CBS is sending THREE mediocre announcers to cover it, and the Bears are so bad that they are underdogs at home against a team that just lost by 50 points last week.

Remember This Crap is back and it's a two-fer? Who better than these guys to recall the most embarrassing days in Bears history, and to regale you with tales of Bears-Chiefs history? It's the only Bears podcast you'll hear this week with discussions about Jeremiah Ratliff, Sam Hurd, Alonso Spellman, gun range punchings, the Johnson Twins Tank and Todd, Joe Delaney, Mirro Roder, Frank Gansz, Terry Shea, Christian Okoye, Gary Crowton, John Roveto and Abe Gibron.

The Bears and Chiefs haven't met that often over the years and most of the matchups haven't meant a whole lot, but the matchups have had a few great moments, including one of the greatest and most iconic runs of all time.

And no, it wasn't by Tim Worley.

You things are going well when the podcast starts with a discussion about an HBO show that just got cancelled, but two weeks in, this is where we are. Mike Pusateri and Mike Praznowski are back to break down the Bears breakdown in Tampa, and the guys try to figure out when this might actually get a win. Who is to blame, and why is it multiple people? They talk about the elusive Baker Mayfield (guh), a determined but futile defensive effort, Justin Fields teasing us with the kind of throw that it seems he should be trying a lot, the Chase Claypool mini-redemption and why a screen pass from your own end zone should get you banned from calling plays at any level.

The Bears loss to the Packers might not have been a shock to smart fans like you, but the totality of the butt whupping was unexpected and the guys are there to tell you who to blame. There's plenty of it to go around. Odd playcalling, poor design, the inability to pull the trigger and let's not forget a defense that didn't come within an area code of the Packers backfield on most plays. But there's still reason for hope, and we can look ahead to better times in the upcoming game in Tampa.

The Bears podcast returns with a new addition. One Mike P. wasn't enough, so joining Andy and Mike Pusateri on the pod is Mike Praznowski. The guys will take potential corporate sponsorship from anybody so they devote an entire segment to providing increasingly spicy takes from every level of the Taco Bell sauce lineup from Mild to Diablo. Which Bears are going to break long held records? Who's getting fired? Who's getting traded. You won't know until you listen. No Bears podcast would be complete without going through the schedule week by week and predicting whether they'll win or lose and then, they break out the DraftKings Sportsbook over/unders and pick out the most intriguing ones to bet on.
