The Cubs had a convention (you may have heard something about it) and the Bears have a new president and the number one pick and Jon Greenberg of the The Athletic drops by to talk about that and more.
They talk about Marquee’s coverage of the convention, Ryan Dempster’s awful fake talk show, Ian Happ putting people to sleep with his “live” podcast, and Tom Ricketts consistently making it weird with regards to Sammy Sosa. What’s new with the Utility Tunnel of Fame?
Was it a bad sign that Kevin Warren was out wandering around 300 acres of undeveloped Arlington Park before he applied for the job? Why does Ryan Poles report to him? Do we have to listen to fake debates for four more months about whether the Bears should trade the number one pick or use it for a QB and trade Justin Fields? Sadly, yes.

All that, and more.
