The Bears are in the playoffs for just the 6th time in the last 25 seasons which doesn't sound promising but we love the matchup. Barstool rookie and incredibly knowledgeable Saints fan Ben Mintz ("Mintzy") joins us to get an honest look at the matchup. It's not perfect on paper but it could be worse for the Bears save for it being Drew Brees's last postseason run. For what it's worth, everyone loves the Bears +10. After that we get into the future of Notre Dame, college bowl season (generally), the surging Baby Bulls, Boog Sciambi, Liam Hendricks, Blackhawks, World Juniors and whether or not you should tank or build culture. Probably our best show of all time but we're biased. Huge weekend for the Bears. Dear God please let us win a playoff game ALL GAS NO BRAKES!You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

The Bears lose to the Packers, we are off to the playoffs at 8-8 nonetheless. Was it really a 19-point loss or are is there momentum to be had with the 2020 Bears? The Boys debate ferociously with the Saints looming. Is there any reason to care about the playoffs? Or is it just a complete waste of everyone's time?

It's Packers Week with the playoffs on the line and it all comes down to this Sunday. Biggest game of the year and definitely Mitch's life. The boys are all sorts of fired up for this weekend. After, we get into the state of the Cubs rebuild, the White Sox offseason strategy, Notre Dame vs. Alabama and the Blackhawks awful failure to protect Kirby Dach. All the more reason we need the Bears this weekend ALL GAS NO BRAKES!You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Bears absolutely thrash the Jags in the biggest game of the year. Allen Robinson is a monster. David Montgomery is star in the making. Mitch made his throws and the Jaguars absolutely sucked throughout the afternoon. A perfect way to 8-7 and now Barstool Chicago can't figure out the playoff scenario or who wants to play Aaron Rodgers. It's predictably a complete mess and we wouldn't have it any other way. Opinions are FLYING on this post game show so grab a notebook and follow along. The Packers are so fucked.

Coach Duggs joins Barstool Chicago to preview the pivotal Jaguars matchup this Sunday. Before and after we break down the Bears playoff chances, Ryan Pace's best draft picks (rounds 2-5) and why the 2020 Bears are even more frustrating. Following Bears we close the books on Tony La Russa DUI criticism but not before getting mad at Jerry. Chief and Dave address their championship losses while Carl gets into the ILLINI new hire Bret Bielema. Lots of good college vibes including an appearance from the undefeated SIU Salukis.

We're thinking about the playoffs with the Bears surging to 7-7 with serious momentum after beating the Vikings. Maybe we're suckers but it's a completely different team. David Montgomery was amazing behind a reshuffled offensive line and obviously Mitch looked pretty damn good. All around phenomenal game from the boys and now we're on to Jacksonville.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

Big round table day with the full crew as we get into the Stan Bowman promotion. Chief's not happy about it for good reason. Bears are basically in the playoffs already before we get into some of the best college football talk this side of the Ohio River Valley. WSD and Carl follow with some old school RLR baseball talk about why the owners are blood sucking scoundrels.

The Illini basketball team have saved Carl from a depressing winter with a statement game over Coach K. Later in the show we get real deep into Coach K's roots as a Chicago guy, but not before we put a ribbon on how much the Bears suck. WSD also has some strong words for Adam Eaton now that he has a chance to complain about his team being good.

Thanks to Miller Lite for being there in a time of need, like when the Bears blow a late 10-point 4th quarter lead. Arguably one of the worst losses in the last 30 years. Matt Nagy obviously needs to get fired but otherwise the boys didn't look to shitty. A perfect game for the perfectly infuriating season. 2020 needs to end pronto.

Friend of the program and Illini basketball coach Brad Underwood joins the show to talk 2020 college hoops for his 3rd appearance in RLR history. We also spend some time on the Bears, Cubs and White Sox futures before settling into college football. From there, Chief & WSD have an extremely passionate argument that may or may not get a little personal. Spoiler Alert: Northwestern lost last weekend so obviously there's fireworks.

Really no other way to put it. The Bears suck but at least we have great tasting less filling Miller Lite to fall back on. That's our silver lining as the Bears' defense gets absolutely gashed for 41 points. No one would be mad if the McCaskey family sold the team tomorrow, that's a fact. And while the season's not mathematically over, the Bears should probably just fire everyone and move on already. Start the rebuild.

Happy Thanksgiving from Barstool Chicago with a classic 4-man show that starts with Carl & Dave at each other's throats about the Cubs impending rebuild. The Bears play Sunday with a chance to win back Ed's prediction that the season is over. Chief thinks Notre Dame can win the national championship. WSD feels the same about Northwestern.

Big Cat joins the crew to get over the devastating Theo Epstein news and it totally sucks that we're moving on from our leader. Making matters worse, the Bears have lost 4 straight and we don't know who to blame. We're just a broken and confused group of guys that want to watch our teams do better. We follow our pity party with some heavy college football and a good look at the NBA draft with the internet's #1 college basketball expert, Bobby Reags. We get into Patrick Williams as a Bull, his career at FSU and whether Karnivore just struck gold. We're hanging on by a thread but we'll get through it.

Another week in the books for the 2020 Bears and another embarrassing loss at the hands of the offense. This time it's probably the worst offensive game since Craig Krenzel took the snap. We're devastated after a 5-1 start to find ourselves in this position. The offensive line is atrocious. Quarterback play is atrocious. Nothing seems to work as the Bears move into the Bye Week on a 4-game skid. It's basically win or go home at this point and that's a bad thing with our remaining schedule. Does Nagy have a miracle in him or is 2020 over? Tune in for our reactions. All Gas No Brakes.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

It's pretty much win or go home for the Chicago Bears and honestly nobody's talking about it because Tony La Russa got another DUI. This week we break down both with Criminal Defense attorney and Arizona DUI expert, Jeff Mehrens and Bears' legend Olin Kreutz. Mr. Mehrens takes us inside the legal road and challenges ahead of TLR that should help everyone get a better grip of what's going on. After that Olin joins us for what you'd call a Very Honest Conversation about the 2020 Chicago Bears. We get into Ryan Pace's future, baffling offseason decisions and whether Ted Phillips should update LinkedIn. Thanks to Miller Lite for making it happen and congrats to Notre Dame on beating Clemson. It's National Championship or bust for the Irish. All Gas No Brakes!!!You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Not much to say you don't already know. The Chicago Bears got destroyed by the Tennessee Titans and it wasn't even close. Matt Nagy might be at his rock bottom with the Bears but it actually feels worse. O-Line is embarrassing. Quarterback play is arguably worse. Somehow this team is 5-4 and still marching towards the playoffs but it actually feels impossible. God Bless all the believers out there. Lots of football left but we need all your prayers.

Taylor Lewan and Will Compton from Bussin With The Boys join the show this week to preview Bears vs. Titans from the comfort of a Tennessee Titan off day. We go behind the scenes of what it's like to prepare for the Chicago Bears including some shit on Akiem Hicks you literally won't believe. Good luck to Taylor in his recovery and thank you for the amazing Khalil Mack reference. After that we're joined by former White Sox All Star Ron Kittle to talk about the Tony La Russa hire. Kittle played 484 MLB games with the White Sox, all under TLR. He has great insight into Tony's strengths and should have everyone feeling positive vibes. Huge weekend for the Bears and the Irish and sure maybe even WSD's Northwestern Wildcats. All Gas No Brakes!!!!You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

Miller Lite is delicious and this podcast title says it all. Bears lose in absolutely devastating fashion after dominating almost all of the 1st half. Lots of finger pointing but end of the day the Bears played hard and the playoffs are very much on our mind. We have to bounce back and we know the Bears will. Huge game next weekend in Nashville. Lots of room for improvement but this squad is up for the challenge. All Gas No Brakes.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

The Red Line Radio crew is back again this week over zoom because WSD has COVID. We start with a full breakdown of the disease and whether WSD's immune system is stronger than the Bears' offensive line. To fully answer that question we bring on former Chicago Bear great Kyle Long. In an extremely candid conversation we get into the nitty gritty of the 2020 Bears and whether #75 has a comeback in him. After that we're joined by NHL legendary enforcer John Scott as Chief continues to bulldoze awesome hockey interviews. In and around we talk college football, World Series reactions and whether it really matters the White Sox may/may not hire Tony La Russa.
