This week on the SKOd we're going streaking! Four wins in a row have the Bears at 4-2 on the year and hungry for more. We start this week with a quick (mostly) run down of the few things that went wrong on Sunday before working into all that meaty goodness. Our head coach seems to be That Guy, how incredible is that? Our defensive coordinator does too! Is this Dom Rob thing for real? How many defe...

Welcome back! This week we break down the Bears big win over the Commies on monday night. The title says it all! Thanks for listening!

It was a bye for the Bears this week so the guys are going around the NFL to see how the rest of these teams livin. Cam Ward has been incredibly bad but... nobody seems to care! How about the rest of these rookie QBs, and for that matter what of Caleb's compatriots from the 2024 draft? The Alex Smith Event Horizon is in full effect with Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones, how does this keep happening? A...

This week on the SKOd we talk about the Bears pulling back to 2-2 to enter the bye after that depressing 0-2 start. So why are Bears fans so damn mopey? Caleb and Rome looked great again, but what about the rest of the team? How long until we can say we've hit full throttle with Ben's offense? How can this run game be so bad? And did we underestimate how long it might take for this defense to gel...

Welcome back! This week on the pod we celebrate the ritualistic destruction of our former head coach at the hands of the new guy. Caleb dominated, and we're all over that, but what about the rest of the guys on offense? How did DJ Moore respond to last week's seeming call out? How about that defense giving up 14 points? And hey, how's everyone feeling about Penix, Nix, McCarthy, and Daniels right...

This week the guys talk about the absolute molly-whopping the Bears just ate at the hands of the Detroit Lions! Who is to bla-... who is MOST to blame? And maybe more importantly who does not deserve to be blamed? Which player(s) did Ben Johnson call out this week (and get Travis hopping mad like a true Chicago sports personality) and what do we expect this roster to look like moving forward? Stra...

Welcome back to Bears! This episode the guys react to an extraordinarily ordinary type of L to start the season as the Bears fall 27-24 after blowing a late 17-6 lead. Three quarters of dominance begat one quarter of miserable failure, so what do we make of it? How did Caleb do? How about the new coaching staff? How about the one old member of the coaching staff (I'm coming for YOU Richard Hightow...

It's finally time! The NFL is upon us and we brought our good friend (and hated Packers fan) Nick back to preview the NFL (er, mostly the NFC North). You might be able to tell by the DOUBLE SIZE run time, but we have a lot to say! Folks we limited this thing to two hours, we could probably still be talking. Some of it about the North yes, but more importantly what do Nick and Travis think of the o...

Welcome back! This week we go over the third and final preseason game against Kansas City and break down the QB situation... in Indianapolis! We have a lot to say about Anthony Richardson and Danny Dimes (and not just regarding the Alex Smith Event Horizon), but we'll also break down several plays from this preseason as we barrel inexorably toward week 1, Monday Night Football against Minnesota. T...

This week on the pod we talk about a great day at the office for the Bears in the preseason! Naturally we go in depth on Caleb's great day, but who else knocked it out of the park? We know the preseason doesn't transfer much to the regular season, but what CAN we pull from this? And do we think Sports Illustrated can find a way to blame Caleb Williams for Terrell Smith's injury? Thanks for listeni...

Welcome back! This week the guys have a whole lot of little things to discuss, from Tyson Bagent People to the Cleveland Browns. It's the calm before the storm as the first team takes the field against Buffalo in the second preseason game this Sunday, and the takes are sure to be hot no matter what happens! Thanks for listening!

Welcome back! This week the guys are talking training camp. With more than a week in the books things are looking good on both sides of the b... wait, what was that? Some sort of video of a ball and a net? Well I guess it's a disaster! The guys talk a lot about the confusing national narrative developing around only Caleb Williams versus the narrative of those in attendance at camp and practices....

It's time for the 3rd annual SKOdcast QB rankings. Nuff Said!

On this week's episode the guys... get back to weekly shows! Training camp is opening! We do go into a bit of a camp preview, but first we have to talk about that extension for Ryan Poles. Why? For whom? HOW many years? Then we get into camp battles and last cuts (and maybe even a shoutout to all you wonderful people). Thanks for listening!

Happy 4th of July! To celebrate Independence Day, enjoy as we hem and haw and come to a decision on what the worst Bears decision of our lifetimes is! Is it a coach hire? Not hiring a GM? Not firing a coach? Drafting a player? Being a Bears fan?! Sit down with a hot dog and crack open a frosty can of SKODCAST.

Welcome back! After some summer vacationing Travis and Kyle are back and ready for this off-season's tournament, and as always they brought Erik with them. This year we have 16 of the most heinous decisions the Bears have made, and even though they only count if they were made within the last 35 years we had to do some serious trimming to get to 16! Can an underdog pull off an upset over such glor...

It's May, and that means Bears news has a bit scant, but recently we've piled up a lot to talk about! Caleb Williams didn't want to be a Bear (shocking!), rookie minicamp produced a lot of hype around an unexpected pick (SHOCKING!!), Brock Purdy got paid and Travis wants to talk about it (**SHOCKING!!!**), and it's time to unveil this offseason's tournament (MUNDANE). Thanks for listening folks!!

Welcome back! The draft is over and finally, finally, we can say goodbye to this awful draft class. As we do so, we can also ask ourselves how well the Bears did! Was Colston Loveland a good pick at 10? How the hell did Luther Burden fall all the way to 39? Is there any juice in our other two 2nd rounders? And what the hell is that 4th round pick about? Join us as we laugh, scoff, and shrug!

It's that time again, and this year the audio is solid! Join Travis, Kyle, and eventually Nick (and Nick's baby!) as they cover the entire first round of the NFL draft. What did we think of the Colston Loveland pick? How about those extremely expensive trade ups? Thanks to everyone who watched live!

Welcome back folks, this week we're talking about every offensive position in the 2025 draft that we haven't hit yet. How good IS this class (not good folks!). But the running back group is deep, for whatever that's worth? How much of a homer can Travis BE for Kaleb Johnson? If the Bears draft a TE at number 10, will Kyle have a stroke live on stream? Join us and find out!

Welcome back folks, we have a doozy of a pod for you this week! Kyle brought in a ringer to talk offensive linemen; Quinten Krzysko (also known as @ButkusStats) of On Tap Sports Net fame and the Bears On Tap podcast is here! Can Kyle hold it down as host? Can Travis stand up to the pressure of this dubious game show Kyle has created? We talk about Will Campbell vs Kelvin Banks, wonder what could h...

This week the guys start looking into the prospects in this trash heap of a draft! What are their thoughts on the top 2 quarterbacks available? Before that though they talk a lot about Jayden Daniels! What did they get right and what did they get wrong? What does it mean for the future of the NFL and quarterback play? As they get back into the draft they discuss Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders and re...

This week on the SKOd we talk about how the Bears continued their offseason dominance (back to back to back offseason champs) and solidified both lines in free agency! So what does Drew Dalman bring to the table, and how good IS this line now? Where will Dayo play? Is Grady Jarrett cooked or is that a solid signing? How good is the defensive line and what does this mean for the legendary Zacch Pic...

Welcome back! This week we discuss the surprising and extremely welcome moves the Bears made for Jonah Jackson and Joe Thuney, then look at the barren wasteland that is this free agency period and draft. So how the hell did the Bears manage to turn a 4th round pick in NEXT year's draft into one of the best guards in the NFL? Jackson is certainly worth a 6th rounder, but can he return to his form f...
