The Cubs are broadcast on this station. This should not surprise you.

I don't think any show has dedicated every available segment to Bears /Packers.

I can't listen 24 hours a day but every hour that I listen, I would like it to be Bears talk at this time of year.

You can talk playoff baseball in a month, when the Bears are sitting there unbeaten and we are just waiting for the NFL playoffs

Have to give credit where it’s due..talking Bears now. Enjoyed the Larrivee segment...it’s just a nice breather from the Ben Zobrist will he/won’t he show up and all the other topics that have been beaten down so much that even the bacteria has been decimated.

It's criminal to spend half a show talking about anything during Bears vs Packers Week. I'm seconds from pressing the button. That Larrivee crap was annoying.

I understand why they talk Cubs being the radio home and a team likely making the playoffs. Saying that, how does baseball being an old man's game factor into their targeted audience? Isn't a younger demo more likely to want Bears/NFL talk vs. Cubs rotation/service time talk or do young people even listen to begin with, which makes Cubs baseball conversation more appealing?

I don't mind Cubs talk right now - it would be foolish to think they aren't going to talk baseball, but hoping for a 70-30 NFL talk (with 50 being Bears talk, 20 NFL) over Cubs.

Most people I know only care about NFL and much less about baseball.

they don't care about the people you know.

The Cubs are in playoff contention and its the station they broadcast on. The bears have yet to play a down of meaningful football and have a Thursday opener against their rival. Not exactly a coin flip

I'm not arguing that they shouldn't talk Cubs. Others are.

Fuck this Cubs team! This is Bears vs Packers. This is the season opener. This is a team with Super Bowl talent.

A younger demo wants to hear about the blood feud developing between NBA players on Instagram, which reportedly began when one said "sweaty put a donk on it" followed by seventeen emojis. But I don't think they're listening to AM radio.

I don't think I've ever seen a fan base set up for a bigger fall than this season.

Ok, of the younger listeners who are tuning in, what do they want? My guess is it's not MLB.

Danny asked one question to Jed about it on his way out. He was in studio. Relax.

But yeah, the you giving up thing sounds good

I just sent nasty text messages instead. Mac promised wall to wall meatball coverage on Thursday.

(Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky may be better than Brees this season.

I don't get the criticism. The Cubs are in a division race and it's September. They shouldn't do all Bears. Cubs deserve equal attention at this point. Probably more since it's only week 1 in the NFL.

The listeners want to hear Cubs talk. Why don't you get that?

It would be cool if Bernstein announced he was done talking football after everything he's said about the damage the game causes, but he can't and probably doesn't want to anyway.

I've never understood the nonstop football talk after camp starts. The daily Bears hits aren't needed. They don't do that for other sports. Don't need the Monday presser. Don't need Hub on 6 times a week.
