The [Monday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

Just glance at the SHOW NOTES and tell me you don't want to listen to The Beachwood Radio Hour #31: Raunocchio-Elect. Analysis, wit and insight you won't get anywhere else.

Segments include: Phony Bruce, Quinn's Rose Garden, Late & Never, Journesia, and The Combine Transitions. Plus: They came to watch Nik Wallenda live, not die.

SportsMonday: The Meatballs Were Right
And they've been right all along.

See also @BeachwoodReport for the Bears tweets that won the Internet last night. And if you missed our very own Jim "Coach" Coffman talking Bears on WBEZ's Morning Shift, we'll add the audio to SportsMonday when it becomes available.

Bears Make Book
"It was four minutes into the third quarter when Aaron Rodgers was gunning for his seventh touchdown pass. Not only were the Chicago Bears getting blown out, but bookmakers were taking a beating, too," Matt Youmans writes for the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

"The big difference is the bookmakers have had a winning season, so one losing week is just part of doing business. The Bears have been losers all season, and they are stuck with their overpaid loser of a quarterback and their dreadful defense."

The Weekend In Chicago Rock
Featuring: Metalucifer, Jaill, Gerald Dowd, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Starset, and Garland Jeffreys.
