Hi folks, just finishing getting things set up here. You can tune in to today's WCGSL over on WCG (www.windycitygridiron.com) or...

The WCG LiveStream: Bad Madden and Heckling SJS. Bad Madden is Expected. Heckling SJS is optional, but encouraged. Come for the Bad Madden, Stay for the Good Talk. Or Vice Versa. As always, I just listen to heckle SJS (and occasionally Sam.) Hey SJS

Hey folks! Today's WCGSL will be at 1:30 PM CT. First ever playoff win edition, so join us then!

Yup. Still smiling a day later.

I'm so glad, we get another Victory Payton. 😍

Sundays are just better when the Bears win.

in baseball, we call this a wheeeeeeeee!

"Who and what and how in the hell is this team" Playoff Victory Payton!

Payton just ran outside to bark at a possum. That's been much more entertaining than this football game.

Well there's your Kyler Gordon snaps and maybe some Tyrique snaps too.

Getting everything all set up - you can join us over at WCG itself (windycitygridiron.com) or...

Morning folks - today's (!) WCGSL will be at 2:30 PM CT. Saturday (!!) playoff games (!!!) during tax season mess with our schedule, but we're gonna be here anyway!

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

My brother got me the bubble hockey machine I wanted to put in the basement since 2017 for Christmas.

Putting together some options for 2026 game clearing and wow, I left a lot more unfinished last year than I thought.

Yes, I want Caleb to take a few MPH off his fastball once in a while in short distances. I also want everybody standing in front of a Juggs machine at least one day a week.

Mondays just suck when the Bears don't win.

We'll be live in 15 minutes with the final regular season WCG Sunday Livestream of the year! Join us over at WCG (www.windycitygridiron.com) or...

The WCG LiveStream: Bad Madden and Heckling SJS. Bad Madden is Expected. Heckling SJS is optional, but encouraged. Short and sweet. As always, I just listen to heckle SJS (and occasionally Sam.) Hey Sam,

Hi folks: Tomorrow's WCGSL will take place at 1:00 PM CT through 3:00 PM CT. The day job demands work hours, so we'll be live during the day's first slate of games leading up to Bears/Lions.

Visiting my nephews with their tricycle just to wheel something

"Waiter, what is this receiver doing in my Frosted Flakes?" "The backstroke."

Thats a wrap on my 2025 game clearing. 18 is not a bad count for me at all, although I definitely have some Significant Time spent on a couple I didn't finish.

THAT is the moment you decided that maybe you should look at the output before it's final? What else got through? Actually, dont answer that.

"I-L-L BOWL WIN" Victory Payton! (Yes it's for Illinois today, sue me, I didn't get to on Sunday.)

Putting a cap on this: Turns out when you're sick for a weekend you can hurt your chest from hunching over. Just great for sneezing or laughing. Glad it's not viral or bacterial (origin is a stomach bug that seems gone?) but physically, ouch.

Ran into Lou Piniella while on a Segway tour in San Diego.

Championship talk. In *December.* Making strides, folks.

The broadcast felt like the 87th telling of the Legend of Purdy and oh by the way here's this other team we don't think should be here and it's a matter of time until we make these luck merchants go away.

Mondays just suck when the Bears don't win. But I'd be lying if I said last night's game wasn't fun.

Welp. It has to be Caleb o'clock again.

Oh my god shut up for five seconds about The Legend of Purdy

I know the Niners offense has been doing things all night, but they can't feel comfortable with this being within one score.

Bears play defense like you've seen a breaking route before challenge: impossible

Well today in the early set I have either SEA/CAR or JAX/IND. Which means my second game following the Panthers with a potential Bears 1-seed on the line. Which is really weird it's happened twice.

Sorry, this is gonna be a no-go, at least at the 9:30 slot. I'll try to do something in the afternoon if I can. But the Bears are NFC North champs. Enjoy it, folks.

Hey folks, started feeling pretty damn awful around 5 today, so tomorrow's WCGSL is up in the air. Which would absolutely suck, since we're NFC North champs and all.

Morning y'all. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

The Chicago Bears rank 16th in DVOA but 10th in weighted DVOA which gives more weight to recent games. This chart shows how they've gradually improved over the season with their DVOA for each single game.

Hmm, I can think of one incident in particular where a player giving a cheap shot should have been penalized but wasn't... but I dont think Banks will like the answer.

"Just great. Bears. Now you've put the whole playoffs in jeopardy." Mondays are just better when the Bears are in the playoffs.

"Bears are going to the playoffs" Payton!

Me and Payton watching Steelers/Lions (with audio from @2ndcitygridiron.bsky.social Bear & Balanced):

It's weird that a Rodgers win would put the Bears *in* the playoffs, but hell. Let's get weird.

Did Benton rip Goff's towel like he's playing flag? Cause that was cool.

For those unfamiliar with the WCG Sunday Morning Live Stream, I'll let Alexa explain it.

Good morning folks! In a rare recap edition of the WCGSL, we'll discuss last night's wild finish and look at playoff scenarios. Join us on WCG (windycitygridiron.com) or...

Sure did a great job stopping Jahdae Walker on 4th down, picking up the onside kick, and holding onto a snap on 4th down against a team missing WR1 and WR2/3.
