Windy City Gridiron: for Chicago Bears fans

It's Packers week and Justin Fields is back! But the Bears stink and Matt Nagy is a dead man walking and there's nothing but sadness around the Chicago Bears, so great timing to face Aaron Rodgers! Brad Biggs joins and we talk basically nothing about Packers week! Why? Because we focus on Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace and their futures with this organization. We also discuss the future of the McCaskeys, could they sell the team in the future? It's the topics that Bears fans want answers to and we ask the best in the business, Brad Biggs!
