Should the Chicago Bears stick with Case Keenum?
Summary
Dan Bernstein celebrates Case Keenum’s Hall of Fame-caliber performance for the Bears and debates whether he or Tyson Bagent will start against the Jets, noting Ben Johnson’s calculated approach to the decision. The show shifts to MLB playoffs, dismissing "momentum" narratives while analyzing the Astros’ poor Pythagorean record and the White Sox’s pitching depth. Bernstein also critiques the Senate’s passage of the Protect College Sports Act, arguing it suppresses athlete labor, and concludes by reviewing the Chicago Bulls’ thin, rebuilding roster.
