Rich and Chris Brockman start the hour with a heated debate on whether or not the Seahawks should have accepted the Bears offer of three 1st round picks, a 3rd rounder and two starting players for Russell Wilson. ‘Pardon the Interruption’ co-host and die-hard Bears fan Michael Wilbon tells Rich why he’s 1000% NOT DOWN with the Bears signing of Andy Dalton, how much blame head coach Matt Nagy should accept for the Bears’ muddled QB situation and Mitchell Trubisky’s stunted development, why Russell Wilson to the Chicago would have actually been bad for the team, and why he has little faith that the current Bears front office can ever get it right when it comes to the QB position.  Rich wraps up the hour reacting to Trail Blazers’ guard Damian Lillard’s latest 50-point game and his inspiring words afterward about believing in himself when not many people did.

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel tells Rich why L.A. is not rushing star center Anthony Davis back from his heel injury, why he’s been so impressed with LeBron James’ basketball IQ, and the collaborative mindset between him and the future Hall of Famer, the ONE rule he’d like the NBA to change, what it was like being on ‘Late Night with David Letterman’ as a 13-year-old, and why the era of NBA head coaches wearing suits during games is poised for a comeback after Covid pressed pause on the longtime tradition. Rich reacts to the Cardinals signing of wide receiver AJ Green and what it means for Arizona’s chances to win the NFC West. Actor Ashton Kutcher tells Rich his favorite story about his longtime friend TJ Jefferson, how his iconic MTV prank show ‘Punk’d’ came about 18 years ago, which celebrity reacted the worst to one of his ‘Punk’d’ pranks including a juicy story about Alex Rodriguez making him destroy the tapes of his potential episode, how Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson reacted that time he blew up his trailer, and his di-hard Bears fan reaction to Andy Dalton’s signing (which is more positive than expected).

Rich kicks off the hour with a thorough break down of the Bears’ swing-and-miss for Russell Wilson and settling on Andy Dalton instead, thus underwhelming their fanbase to say the least. ‘Good Morning Football’ co-host Peter Schrager and Rich discuss the Bears opting to sign Andy Dalton to compete for their starting QB job, why critics shouldn’t underestimate the Mount Everest-sized chip on Dalton’s shoulder, why many free agent wide receivers like JuJu Smith-Schuster aren’t getting the fat contracts they were expecting so far, the Jets’ options with the #2 pick in the NFL Draft, and why the 49ers could be on the verge of making a big move to move off Jimmy Garoppolo as their starting QB. Rich wraps up the hour explaining how the Bears getting Andy Dalton is reminiscent of the plot of the Coen brothers’ classic film ‘Fargo.’ Is a proverbial woodchipper in someone’s future??
