0:00.0	Hi, everybody, welcome back. Sports Talk, Chicago. Second segment here of the program. Great to be with
0:05.0	all of you across all of our great radio and TV affiliates. WKAN 105, the ticket ACTV. City's 92.9
0:12.1	FM, W. J-O.B and Gent TV. George Offens, still our guests. It's been in the business 40 plus years.
0:17.5	There's a new book. Tell me a story I don't know recently out. We talked about a lot of
0:22.4	that in the first segment. We're going to get to a little bit of a plug of that later. But
0:25.8	George, you've obviously been a big fan of this program. You've still been putting out your
0:30.4	thoughts about a lot of stuff going on in Chicago Sports on your Twitter account. So I do want

1:33.9	I'm looking at their schedule now, and I can see the possibility where they lose every game.
1:46.9	The weak players on the schedule, the weak players on the schedule, the bears are weak, what the Cardinals, the Packers, and the Falcons. You don't think all those teams think they can't beat the Bears. They're not going to beat the Lions twice. They're not going to
