Get your popcorn ready.

It's game time, baby.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome.

A team that is known as Star Bears.

The Athletic presents Cody Johns.

Every single play, go take it.

Bring that juice. Let's go get it. Come on. Chicago's best bears coverage. Old bears. Go bears. From NBC Sports Chicago, it's Adam Hogue. The bear's angst in general. Everybody's, like, angry about it, I feel like. It's just relaxed. From the athletic, it's Adam Johns. This is just how it is. It's a range of emotions.

It's a range of feelings and hot takes.

Here they are.

Fiery, feisty, and frequently ill-tempered.

The Adams, Hogan Johns.

Welcome into the Hogan Johns podcast, brought to you this week by Miller Light. We are excited to be here. If you're watching us, which you should be all week long, in a number of different places, the My Teams app, and also on NBC Sports Chicago's YouTube page. You are seeing this gorgeous studio we're in. And how about this logo, Johnzie? It's pretty behind us. Really pretty. Very nice. If you're just listening to the podcast this week, like you normally would, you're going to want to check us out the rest of the week, so you're not missing this. And we're in suits. We're dressed up. Well, I still wore jeans because I couldn't go all the way. There's snow outside. We've been doing this podcast and sweats for like 10 months now. I miss it. And it's my hoodie. I usually have a mic in my hand, so I'm like, I'm like, you don't know what to do with your hands. Yeah, I'm like the guy in Talladega Nights. Ricky Bobby, who doesn't know what to do in his hands this week. That's going to be me. But we're happy to be here or we're happy to have this podcast partnered with NBC Sports

Chicago this week.

And, of course, you can still be listening all week like you normally did if you want

to do it that way on the athletic and the athletic app as well.

But there's a ton to talk about, too, because over the weekend, the first massive trade,

and we're expecting a few of these this offseason, and the trickle-down effect may lead to more.

But Matthew Stafford is no longer the Detroit Lions quarterback.

He is going to Los Angeles.

He's part of the Rams.

And Jared Goff is now in the NFC North.

How about that? I feel like they gave up a lot to get Stafford. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we've covered this guy for a long time. Matthew Stafford's gone to one pro ball in his entire career. No all pro honors, nothing. What are they doing? I understand the logic here, but that seems an awful lot to give up for Matthew Stafford.
