Hour 1: It's a Bears Friday; Kap & J. Hood discussed the Bears starting QB against the Jets this Sunday.  We still don't know who will start.  Who do the fans want to start at QB: Case or Tyson?  Kyler Gordon is back at Bears practice this week while remaining on the PUP list. Is the drama over this whole situation finally over? Could they be simply prepping a trade?

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the Cubs being eliminated from the postseason.  The White Sox are STILL ALIVE, KID! They beat the Astros in a very convincing sweep and will face the Guardians in the ALDS after taking the season series 7-6. I believe the Sox are winning the series.  How much credit do we give to divine intervention for this Sox turnaround? The Pope has to be beside himself.  Is this the greatest turnaround in Chicago sports history? Where does this rank in the all-time list of Chicago "surprise" teams?

Hour 1: Kap & J.

Not the best start for Michael Boyd in San Diego as the Cubs lose 8-0 to the Padres.  Can they rebound in game 2?

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood reacted to the Bears beating the Eagles 27-7 and now are 2-1 on the season. Case Keenum was on target and on time all night long. Keenum passed for two touchdowns in his first start in almost three years, and the Bears shut down Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles for a 27-7 victory on Monday night.  Stepping in for Caleb Williams, Keenum was 24 for 34 for 247 yards.

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed Bears vs Eagles, in a wacky week 3 around the league, we saw a backup QB beat a contender in Washington where the Seahawks lost to the Commanders with Marcus Mariota... I think more is in store on Monday night, Are the Bears beating the Eagles behind Case Keenum at QB?  The bad news from the weekend at QB: Caleb suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain and is expected to miss multiple weeks. The good news, all the people who called him out for being soft have to eat crow.

Hour 3: Kap & J. Hood played Shot or No Shot, took a trip Around The NFL: The Picks, opened the Friday Folder and the Kap & J. Hood Cut of the Day.

The White Sox clinched a playoff spot with a 9-1 rout of the Royals after back-to-back 100-loss seasons. 

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the White Sox and the Cubs both won their games Thursday, securing a playoff berth for each of the Chicago teams. The White Sox clinched a playoff spot with a 9-1 rout of the Royals after back-to-back 100-loss seasons.  They could still win the AL Central, too. The White Sox began the day one game behind the Cleveland Guardians. Pete Crow-Armstrong joined the 40-40 club by stealing his 40th base to go along with his major league-leading 45 home runs, and the Chicago Cubs clinched their second straight postseason berth a 2-1 victory over the Miami Marlins on Thursday.

Hour 2: Former Chicago Bears Super Bowl Champion and Bears radio analyst Tom Thayer joined Kap & J. Hood with the latest updates on the Chicago Bears season. Kap & J. Hood discussed the Bears still are not ruling Caleb out for Monday, but Case Keenum was the QB who practiced and spoke. Ben Johnson really sung his praises at the podium. What chances do you give the Bears Monday with Keenum?  Practice windows open for both Shemar Turner and Noah Sewell, but not Kyler Gordon. I'm at a firm with zero games played for Kyler at this point.

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the White Sox and Cubs both had a chance to clinch a postseason berth tonight, but the White Sox lost to the Royals after their pitching imploded early last night. Hudson only got one out as the opener, and the Sox never fully clawed back from a 4-0 early deficit. They will likely clinch this week, whether they do it themselves or Houston loses games, but it feels a bit like the magic has run out. The Cubs hopefully will get another walk-off win, but the good news there is that Philly lost, so at least they won't fall to the bottom, and hopefully the Dodgers can beat SD, so everyone keeps pace. Still, handle your own business and clinch!

Hour 2: Former Chicago Bears Wide Receiver and afternoon radio co-host ESPN Chicago Tom Waddle joined Kap & J. Hood with updates on the Bears vs Eagles.  Kap & J. Hood discussed the White Sox bats exploded tonight to the tune of 14 runs and counting to keep pace with Cleveland and at least maintain their lead over Houston. This is a great sign of what they can be next week when the calendar turns to the Postseason, and I think we'd be silly to write them off as an early exit. What is the ceiling for this Sox team when they hit?

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed next man up gets another man... Tyson Bagent is in the league's concussion protocol, and as of right now Case Keenum is in line to start on Monday Night Football... I don't have a big reaction to this, because I don't think the Bears chances to win Monday change much going from Bagent to Keenum.  Ian Rapaport reported that Caleb will miss 2-4 weeks with his hamstring injury, but the Bears are still resisting officially ruling him out on Monday. Would you even want him to play if he were cleared? Shouldn't the Bears be extra cautious with this?

Hood gave their starting pitching lineups for the White Sox & Cubs potential playoff run. 

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the Bears getting the best possible news on Caleb's injury, and the reaction nationally has been to make fun of him for not being tough and being carted off the field with a grade 1 hamstring injury. Do you find this to be a bizarre reaction from fans, personally, but fans are going to fan?   With the Caleb news trending positive, are we more On To Philadelphia and the result from the Vikings game goes in the garbage, or are there new concerns about this team going forward?

Hour 3: J. Hood & Tyler played Shot or No Shot, took a trip Around The NFL and the Kap & J. Hood Cut of The Day. Tyler Aki was in for Kap.

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood on a Dr. Pepper Bears Friday! Do Bears fans have any concerns about a letdown against the Vikings after the 59-point outburst, or is this smooth sailing against a Brian Flores defense that Ben Johnson has a lot of success against?  Dennis Allen seemed frustrated to get questions about his defense performance last week today at Halas.  What do you want *more* as a fan on Sunday: an encore of the offensive performance, albeit maybe not to the tune of 59 points, or a bounce back defensive performance?

Hood discussed White Sox & Cubs bullpens issues; what was Craig Counsell's bullpen plan exactly? Did Will Venable's opener strategy backfire again?  

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the White Sox losing in walk-off fashion as the Cleveland Guardians are a half game behind the Sox for first place in the AL Central.   fall of the White Sox Did Will Venable's opener strategy backfire again?  Surrendering a 3-0 lead in the 1st. Davis Martin was good in a short outing. Is this opener strategy stupid, or is it the best of all bad options?  What was Craig Counsell's bullpen plan exactly? Just go 2 pitches for Palencia, then Webb, then 40 pitches for Edward Cabrera. What is that?

Hour 2: MLB Insider ESPN Jesse Rogers joined Kap & J. Hood with updates on the White Sox, Cubs and the latest MLB storylines.  Kap & J. Hood discussed PFF ranked Caleb Williams the 17th Best Week 1 QB Performance, fair or foul?  Plus, White Sox & Cubs both got well-needed wins yesterday! 

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the Chicago Bears and if it's constructed as a Super Bowl team.  Do the Bears have the scariest offense in the NFL? Only the Bills and Ravens seemed comparable after one game.  Caleb Williams featured on the back of the Sun times; has Caleb Williams matured as a QB in the NFL? Does Bears fans do "Green Bay Sucks" chant too much, is that true? The Chicago Bears Defense isn't the worst in the NFL but needs major improving!

Hood talked with Chicago Bears fans with their reaction to the offensive explosion from the Bears who pulled off a huge victory, beating the Panthers 59-37 in historic fashion.   Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson post-game presser says a lot and is there a difference between confidence and arrogance?   

Hour 1:  It's a Bears Victory Monday; Kap & J. Hood discussed an offensive explosion from the Bears who pulled off a huge victory, beating the Panthers 59-37 in historic fashion. The defense allowed more points than they would have liked, but they scored enough points to win any game that they played.  During the offseason, Bears head coach Ben Johnson said that he wanted to have the highest-scoring offense in the history of the NFL. That's a lofty goal, but it's hard to discount his goal when he comes out and leads a 59-point effort in Week 1.
