The Bears and Broncos matchups go back more than 50 years and there have been some infamous heroes (Devin Hester, Eddy Piniero, Tim Tebow) and hapless goats (Marion Barber III, Dave Wannstedt, Jim Flanigan).

Some Bears greats played for both teams like Jay Cutler, Kyle Orton, Brandon Marshall, Todd Sauerbrun and Eddie Royal. Guys like Vic Fangio, Vance Joseph and John Fox have coached for both teams. Sean Payton is the Broncos coach now and was a scab Bear in 1987.

The Broncos had no answer for Bob Avellini’s incredible 2-for-17 passing in one game and Brock Osweiler began his legacy of Bears’ torment in another. Plus, the guys talk about Johnny Bench, Terry Bradshaw’s acting career, why everyone should watch “Hooper” instead of Bears games and much, much more.
