The last time Jeff and I recorded a Bear & Balanced podcast we weren’t quite as balanced as usual. The Chicago Bears had just wrapped up the 2021 season, Black Monday gave the Bears’ franchise a reset, and that awful post season press conference from George McCaskey and Ted Phillips was still fresh in our minds.
Thankfully Chicago’s hiring committee came through with what looks like a couple upgrades at general manager and head coach, and with this offseason brimming with the hope that comes with a new regime, we’re in a much better place as fans.
