Really nice pod. Dan seems much happier now that he's off the radio.
When it comes to Chicago Bears talk, Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola have been setting the agenda for decades. Now, they’re bringing that same unflinching insight — and Sunday-afternoon passion — to Forward Progress. From breaking down Bears game plans with analytical precision to unleashing the raw emotion every fan feels when the season’s on the line, Dan and Matt deliver the perfect balance of expertise and authenticity. It’s a show that lives and breathes the Bears, while never shying away from the bigger NFL picture. Whether you’re a diehard or just love the ride, Forward Progress is where Chicago’s football conversation starts.
