Dan Doinks avoided schedule leaks all day and he's ready for all 17 Bears games to be teased to him one by one this week. Will Bill have the beloved at 17-0? Will Dan shock us all with over-the-moon optimism? How will Caleb fare against NFC North foes this year? We dive so so deep and put our sizeable necks on the line with hot takes and predictions as only we can. This is the best time of the year.

Caleb Williams is officially a Bear and he has already taken over the team and city. He's our weird QB and it is about time we have a dude who does not give a F. With his new WR weapon Rome Odunze, clearly this new era cannot and will not fail. The boys of Zero Doinks chat through each of the five new Bears rookies, with a hat tip to The Average Cheese's Peter Jones and his draft guide, as well as the return of Bill's Comps. Plus tons more, including where do the Bears still need to plug some roster holes, what do we make of the stadium plans, and more. It is our time. Maybe. Finally.

We are sitting here, as free agency is beyond hot, waiting for a big move from Ryan Poles and the Bears. Depth is great (that's what she said) but where is the star power? It's time, Bears. Wow us. Also, does anyone want Justin Fields? Are we still Team Caleb? Plus, March Madness is just around the corner. Thank you for hanging with us for SIX SEASONS.

We didn't die, we just needed time to digest the reality that the Flus is back. At least there's a new offensive playcaller in the house now in Shane Waldron, and at least he has had success in the league. But what's the plan for 2024 and beyond? We look at how free agency could shape Ryan Poles's options in the draft and we finally pick a QB lane, all of these weeks later. Plus will Dan go above .500 in "Keep An Eye on Dan" or will his dreams fade? Some Illini hoops talk, including the uncomfortable subject of Terrence Shannon's legal woes. Gray Balls making noise? Find out all about it and more. Thanks for listening to another season!

Incredibly, the Bears land the number one pick for the second-straight year thanks to the 20/20 vision of GM Ryan Poles. Is Poles going to ride with Matt Eberflus, Luke Getsy and Justin Fields in 2024? Or will the opportunity to clean house be too enticing? Perhaps Week 18 at Green Bay, with a chance to ruin their season, will carry some weight one way or another. Happy new years, Doinkers.

Well, that weekend of football was quite disheartening. We try and find words that make us feel better about the present while keeping an eye on the near and long future. We also try and figure out what Tiny Tim's deal is. Plus tons more. Thanks for listening, it's still worth it we think.

This is an absolute squirrely one, though we mix in actual Bears talk. The Bears are actually giving us hope and a vision for what they can develop into. They somehow find themselves one game out of the wild card yet still would be drafting fifth (and first, thanks Carolina) if the season were to end today. Dan and Bill are jazzed for what is going to be a big game at Cleveland. Win on Sunday and hope begins to develop for the first time in years. Still, dilemmas and big choices await GM Ryan Poles, regardless of how the season shakes out. We also get distracted by talk of Tommy DeVito, Grimace, Grover and edibles. Plus tons more, including our friend Rick Feelsmen.
