  • VikVaughn7
    Unbearable (pun intended)
    The one host acts like he knows everything is dismissive hard to listen to, and I can’t quite understand why he thinks he has some strong knowledge of football pretty hard to listen to this podcast. I don’t want all Sunshine, but I certainly don’t wanna listen to Street criticism of disguised as intelligence.
  • Anglemonster
    What I needed
    As someone who lives in the mid Atlantic, I was looking for a good Bears podcast. I tried out a couple; without naming names, they were like those pregame shows where there’s six people talking all over each other, and even worse they seem to talk about all kinds of nonsense not related to sports. This podcast stays on point and delivers the goods.

    Henry Melton
    Wow! BigOnes there gents. Asking for a “ GoFundMe “ for Mr. Melton who reportedly has his worth at $18.5 million. Your listeners had to be cocking their heads like a pet would. Wow! BigOnes there for sure. Get well soon Henry Melton!
  • Scoma17
    Amazing Show
    Absolutely love this podcast! Even when things surrounding the Bears organization aren’t great, the people on this show make everything Bears exciting!! They break down everything Bears, from the game itself, to what’s going on in the front office. Go Bears!
  • chicity gabe
    So good
    More Courtney Cronin ! She is amazing
  • Ru44Mets
    Love podcast
    I recently found this podcast and it’s the best bears podcast out. Love the great analysis and guests !!
  • JJsadbearsfan
    Love this show!
    One of my favorite podcasts!!
  • Capt Slookie
    Not bad but….
    Great news for Da Bears BUT what’s up with the episodes repeating in the same episode.
  • Jimmyy201
    Good podcast. But the same episode played 2,3, sometimes 4 times in each download is rough.
    Love the podcast. But downloading 2 hour podcasts that are actually 30 minutes is bad. I don’t know if it’s a glitch on your end or intended to lengthen the podcast length. But it needs fixed please.
  • cubbyfan4ever
    Content good. But fix the glitch!
    I have an old phone without much memory and having 3-4 repeat shows on one episode is super annoying. FIX IT! Otherwise, the content is really good especially with shows featuring Courtney. She’s one of the best NFL beat reporters.
  • KJohnson1974
    Please fix the download issue
    Love the podcast but it downloads 3-4 of the same show as one file, please fix this so we only get one of the episode.
  • James838/9/9:&
    You guys have an upload issue
    How come the time on each episode is always correct but as soon as you hit play you get three of them?
  • Hansolo8004
    Downloads are too big, audio error
    Every time I download an episode, it’s like 2 hours plus because the initial episode repeats two or three times within the same download. So after the episode is over, it just repeats again. One or two times. The problem is that the download size is then gigantic. Can you please fix this glitch? I’d have put 5 stars but this glitch is crazy. 3 stars.

    Guests
    I love that we are getting to hear from Bears legends. I would love to hear from Jay cutler and about his experience and how he feels about Justin Fields! Keep up with the amazing content!!!!!!
  • zknizek
    Great content, great vibes.
    Great work fellas! Love the football knowledge from J-Mack, Briggs and Courtney and love the vibes from the host Pat! Y’all just need to do a better job marketing this podcast! Get the word out let people know this exists! Only found the pod because of Daniel Greenbergs tweet about Roschon. Gotta make a podcast twitter page and pump the fire content y’all have. Excited to watch y’all grow!
  • Dlow_TNDO
    Great content, great vibes
    This podcast is built for not only bears fans but for football plans. Pat the Designer does a great job of interacting with his guests to provide a great content base each episode.

    The BEST HOST AROUND
    ESPN couldn’t of picked a better host to take over the Chicago Bears podcast. Pat The Designer is a DIE HARD bears fan who understands the game of football but also is very personable. He locks you in with the energy he brings to every show!
