Adam and Colin reflect on the dismal Chicago Bears home opener against the Vikings and recall Colin's experience with a season-eding injury, the feeling of watching victory disappear in an instant, and the dread of both happening at the same time.

Colin and Adam celebrate Colin's birthday amid the complete and total lack of meaningful developments with an exercise in wishcasting.

But the most fascinating development is the question of what play in Bears history...

This week on Generational Bearable Trauma, Colin goes into detail on the finer points of football knowledge. Adam asks the questions (What is Zero technique? Who is the Mike? What is the difference between an X receiver and and ex-receiver?) and Colin breaks down the answers you've always nodded along and pretended to know. Oh, and when is the very best time to call a trick play? Listen in, Be...

Colin and Adam have a lot to get off our chests in this special gripe session edition of Generational (Bearable) Trauma, first and foremost of which is the predictable yet annoying reaction to the Bears' front office's manipulative and deceptive statement about "moving" to Indiana, something the team has announced essentially zero intention to do. We also cover offseason holdouts...

After the Dexter Lawrence trade with the Bengals sends the New York Giants into the 10th spot, Adam and Colin wonder if the trade frenzy rumored to be awaiting Day 1 of the NFL Draft might include the Chicago Bears and a shocking shift in focus (a throwback to a move Ben Johnson's Lions pulled in years past.

Can Ryan Poles do a better job than we did? We'll discuss and hope!
