@danbernstein.bsky.social went off about broadcaster John Smoltz on today's DBU
Forward Progress dives deeper on #Bears’ FA, who’s still uncommitted, their phantom comp picks, and the market for Bagent.

It was a big day for the #Bears. Here's the good and the not so good of free agency so far.
Plus, John Smoltz still sucks, I loved the FS1 Cuba/PR broadcast, the misguided Atlanta #Hawks promotion, and..."we got weights in fish!"

It's wait and see for the offseason to play out for
@danbernstein.bsky.social and @mattabbatacola.bsky.social on Garrett Bradbury.
Thoughts, Bears fans?
With Tremaine Edmunds out, what's D'Marco Jackson's role going to be with the Bears in 2026?
@danbernstein.bsky.social and @mattabbatacola.bsky.social react to his return to the Bears on a 2 year, $7.5 million deal👇
Here’s the latest Forward Progress, on the #Bears FA action. Lots of money flying around out there.

We have to trust the #Bears on Garrett Bradbury, underwhelming as it may appear. No move is in a vacuum.
Both SVG and Dick Vitale were dropping bombs over the weekend, and Jeremy Fears has to stop kicking people in the nutsack.

Winner!
How is the #Bears’ new center like these former Bears:
Aaron Gibson
Khalil Herbert
Spice Adams
Duke Shelley
Cornelius Lucas
Harry Clarke
Mike Wells
and, arguably, D’Andre Swift?
Asking who the #Bears' "#1 WR" is misses the point: this offense only cares about scoring, and the ball is expected to find whoever is open.

The #Bears now have money to burn for the '26 roster, as much as $44 million (!). Their new 2nd-round pick is in the "sweet spot" of this draft, too. Also Friday Feedback Friday fun.

"The acquisition mattered at the time. His performance mattered. His contribution. He's got all-time great Bears moments. Full stop."
@danbernstein.bsky.social on DJ Moore
Beyond the #Bears news, this pod has the definitive breakdown of how and when MLB teams should challenge ball/strike calls. It's good stuff.
