WSCR loves Zach for some reason. There's going to be no getting away from him.

I'm sure if he did we would have heard about it.

There was talk that Mike Ditka was in bad health. He was the head coach of the most dominant Bears era of my lifetime. Very sad day. Sorry he couldn't see the Bears crush the Packers on Sunday.

Funny part is, Shaw was the best 'Professional Athlete' they could get to put on the poster.

I'm predicting Bears 24 Packers 13. Johnson will have the team dialed in for this game.

What is Shaw going to talk about other than how not to get a bunt down when asked.

The White Sox failed to take advantage of their bases loaded opportunities. Cleveland is crushing theirs.

Anyone who wants to question the moon landing doesn't have the brains God gave a goat. So glad the Bears didn't draft this moron.

I haven't had an increase in allergy issues this season which is odd because I'm usually very sensitive. Wonder why you're having so many problems.

Rahm has no constituency. It's all in his mind. He wore out his welcome in Chicago a long time ago.

The 1984 Bears had two backups win a game, Steve Fuller and Greg Landry in place of Jim Mcmahon. Bob Avellini and Rusty Lisch lost their starts.

It's a different PFF. The old guard that tried to do things with quality is gone. Site isn't worth the pixels it's printed on anymore.

the Bears had more first downs than the Jets had plays in a professional football game

It actually is a impeachable offense.

Excellent finale! I love how the season wrapped up!

Now all I need is the season finale of Lanterns and this will be a pretty good day.

And with my attention on today's football, the damn Brewers win again with two in the bottom of the ninth.

Nostrathomas Picks so far today; 10-3 straight up and 6-4-2 against the spread with one game remaining tonight.

Kyler Murray should consider going back to baseball. He's a terrible quarterback.

Smart. I should have done that too.

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Both Bagent and Keenum run the Ben Johnson very well. What they can't do that Williams can to deadly effect is see the downfield opportunity with the arm to get the ball there on time. Bagent and Keenum are perfectly capable of grinding with this offense until Williams gets back.

Chargers and Seahawks have traded interceptions to open their game.

Officially, through nine games today my Nostrathomas picks are 6-3 straight up and 4-4-1 against the spread. Feeling good with picks heading into the late games.

Buffalo Bills laid a major egg at home today. They could have put the Patriots in a bad spot in the AFC East and failed big time.

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
That is true.

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
One was on defensive holding which the DB benefitted from and the second was on a free play when Bagent took a shot downfield. He didn't lead Loveland enough on the Fitzpatrick INT. Only bad throw.

Victory formation! The Bears ground down the Jets in the fourth quarter.

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I think Ben won. He started Bagent and the Bears have this game wrapped.

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Ben's thought process is that Bagent was No. 2 QB for a reason. I'm fine with him starting against the Packers. I think he's making great use of the pieces around him.

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Keenum got a fourth down offside last week and Bagent has two today. They have that hard count down cold.

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Monangai is just eating yards on this drive. Excellent performance!

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I think Bagent has done fine today. Love that he's unlocked Odunze today. He and Keenum just have to hold things down until Caleb gets back.

If games hold up the way they currently stand, I'll be 6-2 straight up and 4-3-1 against the spread. Heading into the late games, Nostrathomas Predicts: Dolphins +10 @ Vikings (MN wins) Chiefs -4.5 @ Raiders Seahawks -7 vs Chargers 49ers -3 vs Broncos Lions -3.5 @ Panthers

I love those end zone rugby scrums. A lot of beef on the Bears o-line to give a push.

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
A touchdown on this drive for the Bears should salt this game away.

Stafford is aware that he has other receivers than just Nacua on the field, isn't he?

On the first drive, the Bears had two TDs called back saying Swift was short of the goal line. Took 7 early points off the board.

Bagent connecting well with Odunze so far today.
