103.7 The Buzz

From the publisher: The quarterback: the American equivalent of royalty, long glamorized, mythologized, and worshipped. Still, long before the Super Bowl trophies, massive contracts, brand deals, and millions of social media followers comes the dream. From the backyard to Pop Warner, from high school to college, from the NFL to the Hall of Fame, becoming the country's ultimate idol requires single-minded focus while navigating a maze of bad breaks, insecurities, jealousy, pressure, and fame.Long known as the outsider's guide into this elite world, Seth Wickersham's fresh reporting goes deep into the quarterback journey, measuring the distance between what the men who have traveled it expected and what they found at the end of the road. Through unprecedented access into the lives of dozens of quarterbacks and generational greats such as Johnny Unitas, John Elway, Peyton Manning, Warren Moon, Steve Young, and others, as well as those figures striving to be remembered, like Caleb Williams and Arch Manning, Wickersham reveals how this one position has become emblematic of success in American life.As an inside look into a uniquely American job and a uniquely American obsession with football, American Kings is a must-read for sports fans and anyone who wants to understand what the price of ambition tells us about the quest for achievement and status.Information on his book can be found at: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/789617/american-kings-by-seth-wickersham/He is on Twitter at https://x.com/sethwickersham?lang=enSupport our show and Reach out and Read of Tampa Bay at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistoryAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

The Chicago Bears are rounding 2nd in their offseason programs with OTAs this week and minicamp next week. Caleb Williams spoke to the media for the first time since the reports came out from an upcoming book with Seth Wickersham detailing Caleb's desire to play for the Vikings pre-draft. Does it matter? Also in the book was some information about the struggles Caleb had with watching NFL film and if the proper attention was given to help that cause. We'll ask the former Bears what are the challenges to watching film in the NFL. And of course, DA BETS, returns to make you some money! All that and more on CHGO Bears After Dark!

On today's episode, Jason Goff of The Ringer & Chicago Sports Network joins Bomani Jones to mainly discuss Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams. The show starts with Bo saying how people get very angry when he criticizes Scottie Pippen, who happens to be Jason's favorite all-time Chicago Bulls player (1:17). They get into Seth Wickersham's new book, American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback, where Caleb Williams' father, Carl, says how he told the Bears not to draft him and thought about trying the UFL route instead (18:40). After the break, they continue with the Caleb Williams story comparing it to Shedeur Sanders saying if Shedeur was as good as Caleb he would've been selected higher in the 2025 NFL Draft (27:26). They round out the show by saying how incredible Cam Newton's aura was (40:16), how Bo Jackson was the best athlete Bomani has ever seen (43:32) and they joke about the outfits Ciara makes Russell Wilson wear.
