Must listen for any Bears fan!!

I am familiar with Jake from FantasyPros. He is one of the better writers I have worked with and now I'm hooked on the podcast! Glad they are on iTunes now! Eli sounds like someone straight off the radio so they compliment each other nicely! Keep up the great work guys!!

Good analysis

I like these guys because it's pretty much just straightforward, interesting Bears discussion. They aren't trying too hard to be clever, and they aren't just meatball homers either. It's a professional discussion on the Bears.
