Good podcast, but….

Journalism today is practically dead. For Dan to share that he had to clear the air with Justin Fields about a tweet that he sent last week is weak weak sauce. But I’m not surprised because this is today’s cultural. Weak men not wanting to hold athletes to a high standard is the new norm.👎

Solid (but redundant)

Bears coverage is excellent but often overlaps with their WSCR content. I skip a lot of episodes, not due to lack of interest but because I’ve already heard it. Maybe consider more segments/topics that are unique to this pod.

Thanks for all the good work, though!

Dan is a Clown

Dan cares more about replies he got to his own tweet then actually talking about the Bears. Dan is not the story, this is journalism 101. He wants to be noticed so bad that he makes everything about him.
