Summary

In the third hour, Laurence Holmes and Russ Dorsey discussed how Bears head coach Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen took accountability for the team's at-times lackluster defensive performance in 2025. How much heat is on Allen now to improve the Bears' defense after the team didn't add a premier pass rusher in the offseason? After that, ESPN reporter Jamal Collier joined the show to discuss the NBA playoffs and the Bulls’ overhaul this offseason.
