0:00.0	Welcome in to another edition of the Under Center podcast here on NBCSportsChicago.com.
0:12.2	I'm JJ Stankovitz, joined at our downtown Chicago studios by Cam Ellis and Paul Aspen.
0:17.8	We came up with some prop bets involving the Bears and some other teams in town.
0:22.4	We want to get into those.
0:23.9	But first, we need to start up this podcast by discussing John Fox, because 2017 will never end.
0:31.6	John Fox went on ESPN, and he and Damien Woody said the Bears had the worst off season in the NFL.
0:40.3	And real quick, Damian Woody's point was losing Vic Fangio is a huge blow, which I don't disagree with on the surface.
0:49.2	But to say that that means the Bears are the worst off season in the NFL because their defensive coordinator was so good that he got a promotion to a head coach and you replace him with Chuck Pagano. I don't know if I buy that.
0:58.0	Stretch. It's a bit of a stretch. John Fox saying the Bears are the worst off season in the NFL because they can't figure out the kicker position. Again, something on its surface. I don't know if I disagree. I don't think the bears have had the worst
1:11.2	off season in the NFL. No. But I've seen the kicking competition. It's not going great.
1:16.3	No. And we'll get into that with one of our props. But yeah, it's, you could make the argument,
1:19.9	it's not much better than it was at the end of the season. I mean, that's Moon's favorite line, right? Is that he loves, and it's true, but it's funny, he loves going back to that saying the Bears aren't any better now than they were with the park. And they're not. I mean, we all saw what happened. Well, not everyone saw because practices and are open to the public. But what happened last week, especially on Tuesday at veteran mini camp, where you had back to back to back misses by Chris Blewett, Elliot Fry, and Eddie Pinnero in front of some Bears alumni
1:45.7	who stuck around after Bears 100.
1:47.6	I mean, that was rough.
1:49.5	It's hard to see the Bears, like Moon
1:51.8	has been saying, being any better right now, but
1:53.6	we'll see where it goes.
1:54.8	Literally the last Bears kick of Chris Blewitt's career.
1:58.1	Yeah, it was.
1:58.9	Probably the last kick of his NFL career, for being honest.
2:01.9	Poor guy.
2:03.1	Anyways, John Fox, not wrong.
