SHOW NOTES
* 275.
* We have no base-10 bias, and we’re not commemorative.
1:00: Doom Spiral.
* Run, Mitchell, Run!
As we’ve been saying, his legs are the only competitive advantage he has.
* Rhodes: “He’s Ian Happ and he needs to be sent down for, like, three weeks to get his game together!”
* Dan Orlovsky: Better on Twitter than actually playing.
* The Athletic: What The All-22 Film Tells Us About Bears QB Mitch Trubisky’s Three Big Misses Against The Saints.
14:15: Brad Biggs’ Mailbag Talks Football With You.
* Like the road, Brad Biggs’ mailbox goes on forever.
* Coffman, October 22, 2018: SportsMonday: Sunday’s Real Bears Goat | “His name is Chris Tabor.”
* Watch the media suddenly unlink Ryan Pace’s future with Mitch Trubisky’s and marvel at the lack of self-awareness and accountability.
* Abe Gibron:
* Neither Andrew Luck nor Tom Brady are coming to save us.
* Giardiniera.
* Brad Childress Rejoined Bears Staff As Senior Offensive Assistant.

47:29: Saadaissance.
26. Chicago Blackhawks
Previous ranking: 24
Brandon Saad. Behold, the Saad-aissance! The maligned Blackhawks forward began a reversal of fortunes last season with 23 goals and 24 assists. He has two goals and two assists in seven games this season in a diminished role (15:08 per game), and has been one of the team’s most effective forwards. (The less said about Jonathan Toews’ start, however, the better.)
50:38: Bring It Home, Red Stars!
North Carolina Courage face Chicago Red Stars on Sunday in 2019 NWSL Championship

1:02:12: Kris Bryant’s Last Laugh As A Cub?
* “Now I can look back on it and just laugh about it because I was told to work on my defense . . . and I think I got three groundballs in those games that I played. So it’s like, ‘Oh, now he’s ready.'”
* Five is less than seven.
