This week on the Domestic Draft Podcast, Evan and Dan crack open a couple of pilsners and try to make sense of a brutal Cubs slide that has quickly turned optimism into full-on fan anxiety. After a season that already featured a 10-game winning streak, the Cubs have now answered with a 10-game losing streak, silent bats, ugly losses, and the kind of baseball that makes you question why you signed up for this in the first place.

In the Best of the Bears this week, Laurence Holmes and Russ Dorsey discussed how defensive coordinator Dennis Allen is under the microscope with the task of improving a unit that didn't add a difference-making pass rusher in the offseason; Matt Spiegel and Holmes reacted to a report that the Bears' proposed stadium in Hammond, Ind. would be built on a slag heap; and Palatine mayor Jim Schwantz joined the Mully & Haugh Show to discuss the effects on his community of the Bears potentially building a new stadium in Arlington Heights.

A lot happened at the NFL owner's meeting and Ryan's got all of it. Nashville officially gets Super Bowl 64 in 2030. Minnesota gets the 2028 draft — good news for Packer fans within driving distance. International games are expanding to 10 per season starting in 2027, with Goodell eyeing 16 eventually. Ryan's cautiously okay with the expansion until someone says Japan, at which point he's fully on board and also realizes he'll never actually go. The Bears got a special briefing on their stadium situation, because the other 31 owners apparently need a progress report on why Chicago still doesn't know where their team plays. The only two viable options remain Arlington Heights and Hammond, Indiana — meaning the days of Bears fans talking trash about small-town Wisconsin are officially over. Ryan has thoughts. Also: Rashee Rice is in jail after a marijuana violation voided his deferred sentencing. Josh Sweat is unhappy in Arizona, Ganon is in Green Bay, and Ryan does the math on what a third-round pick for a number-three edge rusher might look like. He's making that call. And finally — the Packers briefly discussed bringing Davante Adams back before it went nowhere, and they signed Vanderbilt DB Marlon Jones, who beat stage-three Hodgkin's lymphoma last year and is the feel-good story of the offseason.

Gov. JB Pritzker voiced support for a mega projects bill that incentivizes the Bears' move to Arlington Heights, while shading Mayor Brandon Johnson, saying he has “no plan” to keep the Bears in Chicago. Johnson remains critical of the deal, calling it a burden on taxpayers. Meanwhile, Hammond, Indiana, is still in the race. We're breaking down all the back and forth with Brandon Pope and Anna DeShawn.

In the third hour, Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes had fun with the latest developments and details surrounding the Bears' proposed stadium site in Hammond, Ind. It doesn't sound like a good place to build a state-of-the-art stadium, to say the least. After that, the guys listened and reacted to Palatine mayor Jim Schwantz's comments on the Mully & Haugh Show about him wanting the Bears to provide a traffic and impact study for his community regarding the effects of potentially building a new stadium in Arlington Heights.
