Please, I beg you: No "Green Bay sucks" chants tomorrow

I don't care that they're playing the Bears Sunday. It's not the regular season. Get your meme-chants away from a postseason game!

Also, "Cleveland Sucks" is right there for you to use!

Just how much more ratings do the Bears get, really?

Tuning in to Rahimi and Grote. It's halfway through their show runtime and almost everything has been Bears talk. Only one segment about the Cubs and Sox. No guests brought on to preview the Wild Card rounds (yet we get two segments with Anthony Herron). A week 3 NFL game in late-September is taking precedent over the fourth year ever that both Chicago teams will be playing in a postseason game at the same time (and it's not even close). Probably going to be the same thing tomorrow. I could understand if this was the South, but in baseball-loving Chicago? I don't know about you, but I feel like they can drop a segment or two in which they make the same points about Case Keenum as last week and it would be fine.

UPDATE (9/29/26) As I correctly predicted in the comments (despite got down votes for saying it), Rahimi and Grote are almost entirely talking about last night's Bears game today. Only one brief mention of today's Wild Card games. Otherwise, it's all Bears talk. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought that no Chicago baseball team was playing postseason games today. Or that the Blackhawks are having their season opener.

Bears take priority the day of the game. Bears take priority the day after a game. Screw you if you want more diverse local sports talk, I guess.

Burke should start today, not Sandlin

By pushing Burke's next start to tomorrow, it will mean he would be pitching game one of the Wild Card series on three-days rest. Should he pitch today, though, it gives him his regular rest for Tuesday. Yes, I understand that the goal is to win the division, but you gotta make contingency plans as well. Besides, would you not rather have your ace go on the mound to try to clinch a playoff spot today instead of a hit-or-miss rookie? Also, after last night, I trust Burke more to go 6+ innings and rest the relievers.

Have Democratic primary polls become too skewered?

The polls before the Michigan Senate primary showed Abdul El Sayed leading Haley Stevens by double-digits. The final results showed him only winning by a percentage point.

The polls before the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary showed Francesca Hong up by 20 points and instead David Crowley wins in a narrow margin.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Graham Platner never actually led by 30 points in Maine and Janet Mills would've made it a closer race had she never suspended her campaign.

Either way, polling for Democratic primaries seem to heavily skewer the far left candidates, possibly because they appeal to white, college educated voters (who seem to respond to surveys more enthusiastically? Idk). So, are these polls no longer reliable?
