Summary

Hoge & Jahns are LIVE with FOX Chicago lead sports anchor Cassie Carlson to talk all things Bears, OTAs, and the latest developments surrounding the team's stadium search. Cassie joins the show to share her thoughts on Ben Johnson’s coaching style, what she’s watching at OTAs, and insights from her exclusive interviews with Caleb Williams and Colston Loveland. Plus, a few stories from around Chicago sports and behind the scenes. The guys also react to major NFL news, discuss the latest twists in the Bears stadium saga, and debate what the future could look like if the team ultimately leaves Chicago city limits. Later, during “Checking It Out” presented by Old National Bank, Hoge & Jahns dive deeper into the stadium conversation, including recent comments from ownership and examples of other NFL franchises thriving outside their namesake cities. All that and more on another LIVE edition of Hoge & Jahns. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
