Said on Sports
What the podcasts are saying about the Chicago Bears
Verbatim excerpts from published episode transcripts, linked to the moment each one was said.
“Bears lead three to nothing after one. Uh, then Minnesota comes back. Our man, Cordell Patterson, we haven't talked about CPP thirty three yard toss sweep. Vikings up seven to three.”
“I want to play the first eight games with the Bears, and then I want to be traded the next eight games through the Eagles.”
“Your Bears pulled off there at the end. I think we're heading for close to that again, at least with the Bears, Packers, Lions. I'm actually gonna take the Lions. I take the Lions for a bounce back.”
