Hood talked with Chicago Bears fans with their reaction to the offensive explosion from the Bears who pulled off a huge victory, beating the Panthers 59-37 in historic fashion.

Hour 1: It's a Bears Victory Monday; Kap & J. Hood discussed an offensive explosion from the Bears who pulled off a huge victory, beating the Panthers 59-37 in historic fashion. The defense allowed more points than they would have liked, but they scored enough points to win any game that they played. During the offseason, Bears head coach Ben Johnson said that he wanted to have the highest-scoring offense in the history of the NFL. That's a lofty goal, but it's hard to discount his goal when he comes out and leads a 59-point effort in Week 1.

Hood discussed San Francisco defeated the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 Thursday night in the NFL's first regular-season game in Melbourne, Australia. Did the Rams shoot themselves in the foot by not arriving earlier?
Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the Bears who have become a very popular upset pick against the Panthers from the sharps, but the public loves them to walk into Carolina and leave with a win... Is there any feeling the Bears are walking into a week 1 trap? What is the biggest concern for Sunday?

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the Brewers again is Kryptonite for the Cubs, and why aren't Cubs fans more outraged that this team continues to be a punching bag for their "little brother"? The White Sox lost again to the Pirates 4-1 in a pitcher's duel until the 8th inning when the wheels fell off. The NFL is back, and Drake Maye didn't perform well.... Who's better, Caleb Williams or Drake Maye?
Hour 3: Kap & J. Hood played Shot or No Shot, took a trip Around The NFL/The Picks and the Kap & J. Hood Cut of The Day.
Hour 2: Former Chicago Bears Wide Receiver and afternoon radio co-host ESPN Chicago Tom Waddle joined Kap & J. Hood with updates on the Bears Training Camp. Kap & J. Hood discussed Ian Rapaport reported that Kyler Gordon is not with the Bears as he works with his own team to get healthy, with the hope that he will return to practice in a few weeks. This whole thing is just bizarre. The Bears trainers have proven themselves capable with Ozzy and others.
Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the Brewers seem to be Kryptonite for the Cubs, and now their lead in the Wild Card has gotten less than comfortable at 4 over San Diego, while they continue to trail Philly by a half game. Why aren't Cubs fans more outraged that this team continues to be a punching bag for their "little brother"? Beer bats got the fanbase at bay. They might not even get a home playoff game!

Hour 1: Kap & Tyler discussed the Bears as the season starts it's Panthers Week, there is some slightly concerning news from camp, Rome Odunze did not return to practice with a lower body injury… The Bears have enough bodies; this actually doesn’t worry me. Luther and Colston might be their top 2 weapons anyway! How concerning is it for Rome, though, that this is reportedly a right leg/foot injury, the same foot that held him out much of last year? The Cubs blew another game against Milwaukee, falling to 8 back in the division once again. Tyler Aki was in for J. Hood.
