We left Andy alone in the podcast studio and he apparently has some thoughts, and he's going to make sure you get to hear them whether you want to or not. After giving a local radio host some begrudging credit on another pod, that guy proved unworthy with a panicked take on Petecrow, so now he must be mocked. A Cub pulled off a great scam by forcing the team to pay him while he recovers from a knee surgery they also have to pay for. And how can the Cubs of all teams not have enough guys who lean, or at least hit from, the right? Plus, a look at how easily duped some Bears reporters were by a bunch of hayseed politicians, and how the Bears might be able to trade DJ Moore but the odds of it actually benefitting the team are pretty slim. All that, and more.
