Summary
0:00 Bears
20:30 WBC
41:35 Magic City
54:00 Stop Doing That!!
The Chicago Bears didn’t open free agency with a massive splash, but they absolutely addressed key needs on defense. Chicago added speed, versatility, and depth—the two traits clearly shaping the identity of the 2027 Bears defense.
Over in baseball, the World Baseball Classic delivered a wildly entertaining night. USA–Mexico was electric (even with John Smoltz on the call), and Cuba–Puerto Rico brought high‑energy baseball and a broadcast that matched it.
In the NBA, the Atlanta Hawks had their Magic City promotional night shut down by the league office—an event that probably shouldn’t have made the promo calendar in the first place.
And in Texas… a fisherman could actually face jail time for putting weights inside a fish during a tournament. Yes, really. It’s our newest edition of Stop Doing That!!

| 0:11.5 | We are brought to you in partnership with my bookie and brought to you today by our friends at Omaha Stakes. |
| 0:19.5 | This is where I want my NFL team shopping in the free agent market. |
| 0:25.7 | And that is off of the high highs. So I'm going to give you my, these are the unvarnished |
| 0:32.8 | thoughts about a day of Bears free agent stuff. |
| 0:38.4 | And on balance, it's fine. |
| 0:42.7 | And that's all free agency really has to be. |
| 0:46.2 | I don't necessarily think that I'm going to remember this crazy through line between |
| 0:51.6 | great Bears free agent days and they, they oh now they got this guy and |
| 0:56.9 | now they got that guy in general i would much prefer a team make me incredibly excited about their |
| 1:03.9 | draft days than their free agency days just because i think there's more value in your own vision and in younger players |
| 1:14.6 | rather than other generally free agency when people are leaving other teams if people are |
| 1:21.5 | allowed to reach free agency there's always a reason and that's why you have to have your trusted pro scouts say this guy will be better with us |

| 1:43.5 | So if the response to free agency is, |
| 1:46.5 | okay, I think you've done the job. It isn't about signing it. As, and Bernstein are the same |
