Bears Lose Heartbreaker To Saints
Miller Lite is delicious and this podcast title says it all. Bears lose in absolutely devastating fashion after dominating almost all of the 1st half.

The Bears Got Destroyed On Monday Night Football

Bears Beat Vikings 16-6
BEARS WIN BEARS WIN BEARS WIN. Thank God. 3-1 feels soo good after everyone was ready to jump after Week 1's offense. Big items this week are no Roquan Smith. No Mitch. No Gabriel, Long, Hicks and on it goes but doesn't matter. The Monsters Of The Midway dominated the Vikings yesterday and that has the Red Line Radio boys dancing in the street. Is Chase good enough to keep defenses guessing? Or will Mitch be missed way more than we're already admitting? Is Kwaitkowski as good as White Sox Dave says?

Baseball heavy episode. The Chicago Crew breaks down the new gambling laws in Illinois, the 2019 MLB Draft, and Lucas Giolito becoming one of the premier pitchers in all of baseball on one of the *spoiler* hottest teams in baseball, the Chicago White Sox. Do they have a chance to make the playoffs? Will they be buyers or sellers at the deadline? Does Alex Colome fit their long term plans or will he be donning the Blue and Red on the North Side before the deadline? The Cubs just got swept by St. Louis but, as Carl says, "whatever". Their bullpen is clearly the weak link and Eddie, Carl and Chief are waiting on pins and needles for Theo to start making moves to fortify it.

We get there after opening with a small grab bag about Memorial Day followed by some hard hitting baseball talk with White Sox Dave. He explains the 2019 Chicago White Sox in a way that should help you cope with the roller coaster ride they've put fans on since day one. After that, Carl rationalizes his way through the Cubs bullpen struggles and why he's baffled with the lack of a real closer. All around though it's very-okay because the Cubs are still in first place so Carl is happy. Ed - on the other hand - is very unhappy with the Bears releasing a Top 100 list and rightfully so. Why why why. Ed drops a classic rant before we introduce Max Strus to the world. One of Dave's games follows where we cut sit start the White Sox. Next week we do broadcasters. No beefs. No awards.

Eddie kicks things off with a brief recap of his time in Mexico and of course it gets a little weird. Something about a bell hop and a wheelchair and yeah. Let's just say we're glad Eddie is home safe. After that Chief gives a real deep dive into why this is the biggest week for the Hawks all year. It's make or break time and that's putting it lightly. On the best end of things we could have a Panarin trade. At worse we dump Duncan Keith for a bucket of pucks. Like we said it's a big week. After that, WSD and Carl trade Spring Training headlines and what they mean to their respective clubs. Dave is getting antsy about Machado while Carl miraculously is holding out a sliver of hope Theo does more Theo things. Obviously we need baseball to start immediately before they explode. After that we got a couple beefs, some voicemails, a Robbie Gould rumor and some more beefs. It's an All Gas No Br…

White Sox Ace Michael Kopech + HAWKS ARE BACK
Good morning good afternoon and good evening ladies. And sports fans. But also ladies. It's Epsiode 89 aka the Mike Ditka Episode aka the HAWKS ARE BACK. Chief is so jacked up we had to give him some podcast sponsored Urbal Activ CBD to calm his nerves. He's that pumped up for his Hawks and rightfully so. Winners of 6 straight and on their way to playoff glory, right? Chief's not sure but we speculate the shit out of it and how the last couple week have changed the trajectory of the organization. Elsewhere, Michael Kopech from YOUR CHICAGO WHITE SOX (Gene Honda voice) join us for an awesome interview where he and WSD basically become best friends. And elsewhere Rick Hahn is v, v jealous. In addition to that wonderful must-listen interview, we've got our deepest bulls talk of the season as we actually break down the Otto Porter trade. Like actually and sincerely break it down. After that we enjoy a nice 6-point grabbag on all things from international travel with Eddie to Valentine's Da…

The Super Bowl Sucked + Patrick Mannelly
GMGAGE Chicago Sports Fans the Red Line Radio gang is back this week to puke all over this horrendous Super Bowl, a game that undoubtedly could have belonged toyour 2018-19 Chicago Bears. Optimism is high that Nagy has the boys on track to get there. Patrick Mannelly joins the show to talk about offensive line play, long snapping in general and help us understand how he would have handled the Cody Parkey ordeal. It's a phenomenal interview and one of our favorites since starting the show over two years ago. Elsewhere, the Blackhawks are back for the 6th time this season, apparently, after winning 4 straight. But there's strong leaks that Duncan Keith could get traded and Chief's not sure what to make of it. After that Carl & Dave briefly recap the #BreakingNews that there are no mystery teams in on Bryce Harper. It's obvious that baseball season needs to start immediately because February Blows. We got voicemails, some beefs and a lot of all gas no brakes! Sponsor links:

Super Bowl Week... From Chicago
BROUGHT TO YOU BY MILLER LITE - The gangs back for a brutal Super Bowl week in Chicago as temperatures fall into the minus 30's. Fuck this, right? Wrong. The Pro Bowl was scorching hot and Eddie is so excited to rehash his enjoyment. After that the boys chop up some Bears news and go heavy in the trenches with offensive line stuff. It's a big segment for our big listeners. Then we go to Super Bowl but really focus on the fan experience and what makes a good Super Bowl with our team out of it. Carl tells a story about winning a charity even beer pong tournament but then being disappointed to find out that part of the winning package was autorgraphed baseballs by Kris Bryant and Rizzo. He's not disppointed in getting the balls. Just disappointed that their actual signatures suck. After that, WSD goes heavy into his experiences this past weekend at Sox Fest including the time he became Adam Engel's professional hitting coach and no that's not a joke Dave has a new job. Kinda. That's follo…

Chicago Bears Captain Kyle Long
The Red Line boys are back after going through another weekend closer to normal life. The Conference Championships on Sunday were down right amazing and we're here to debate who lost the worst: Bears, Saints or Chiefs. We then follow it up with an outstanding interview with Bears' Captain, Kyle Long to give his first interview since the Bears lost. Spoiler Alert: he's moving on from the loss with a lot of anticipation towards starting the 2019 campaign. Naturally we left in shock and awe as we always do when talking to Chicago Bear greats. Kyle Long is no exception and NBD he invites us over for a pool party. After that, Carl goes through the Cubs convention festivities this weekend including a story about how he accidentally got hammered at Don Shula's steakhouse in the Sheraton Hotel. After that, Dave updates the crew on Manny Machado, virtually saying he is coming to the White Sox without the WSD scoop city stamp of approval. Chief follows to announce that the Hawks are officially d…

Winter Is Here
The boys are still picking up the pieces from the Bears Eagles game. Fortunately, Nagy and Pace had a joint press conference Monday that Eddie breaks down in full detail. There are some major observations regarding Cody Parkey's future, Chuck Pagano, long-term planning and what everything means for the 2019 Bears. Spoiler Alert: Eddie thinks 2019 is going to be a special season. From there, White Sox Dave goes full MLB Insider on the Manny Machado saga, even calling Barstool Hubbs in the mothership NYC office to get the Yankees' side of MLB Free Agency. It should be no surprise that Hubbs is as frustrated as all of us. Carl then gives his fastest 5 minutes on the Chicago Cubs including a weird obsession with new Cubs Front Office "strategist" Craig Breslow aka the smartest man in baseball. Chief follows with some unfortunate realities: the Hawks are sellers and everyone is available not wearing 88 or 19. In a strange twist, the guys follow that up with some extended Bulls talk after Ca…

Bears Lose + Electric Chair Review + AJ Pierzynski
The Barstool Chicago boys are absolutely devastated after a soul crushing defeat this weekend. No one saw it coming and there's loads of reaction packed into this week's episode. It's hard to pin blame on one player, so they say, but that doesn't stop us from going through each and every person who should be accountable for that devastating loss. At the same time, the boys do every they can to keep it together and stay big picture. This was the best season for Bears fans arguably in 12 years, arguably since 1985 because of how much fun we had along the way. After that, Carl and Dave do some baseball talk as they get ready for their seasons. Dave brings on good friend of the program AJ Pierzynski who basically injects a shot of life into everyone in the room. AJ is the fucking man as evidence by his 26 minutes with the boys this week. After that they do some mild grabbag, obviously voicemails, beefs, big shoulders before closing with the world debut on Red Line Radio of Imma Buy You A B…

Kings Of The North
The Red Line Radio crew is All Gas No Brakes kind fired up over the Bears winning the NFC North Divsion. #12 looked like an absolute bitch in the process and the guys couldn't be more thrilled. Eddie is finally convinced and willing to admit this is a Super Bowl Bears team. The stars have aligned, and we call that the Red Line Radio difference. Elsewhere, the group celebrates Nagy's brilliance and offers him several beefs. Can the Bears close 12-4? Chief and Carl think so while Eddie has some interesting thoughts on the San Francisco game. WhiteSoxDave drops some knowledge bombs on the hot stove while Carl blames the Cubs bumps for a slow winter. Chief is - you guessed it - not happy with the Blackhawks leadership. There's a grabbag, a lot of beefs and big shoulders, 3 solid voicemails and a fuck load of happiness. We are champions. We are kings. We are coming for the Lombardi. ALL GAS NO BRAKES!

Jewel Osco Live Show With Big Cat
The Red Line crew pulls off the improbable upset of selling out a bar at a Jewel Osco in honor of the single most premium Spirit brand on the planet, New Amsterdam Vodka. This is the full audio from the night's event, which we're turning over to you as a random bonus episode that was recorded, edited and produced from the bottom of our collective hearts. There's nothing related to Barstool Chicago that doesn't get covered in the live show including how Big Cat started the site, why Eddie really loves a Jewel-Osco, how long it would take to eat an aisle of cereal and the list goes on. Thanks to the filthy animals who showed up last Thursday, and thanks to those who are willing to retroactively consume this content. We love you, we love making this stuff and we hope you can visit us at our next live show on TBD at TBD. Most importantly, ALL GAS NO BRAKES!

***Live Show w/ Big Cat this Thursday 12/6 7pm @ the Jewel Osco on Clark & Division in Old Town*** The Red Line crew is back in action after the Bears dropped a heart breaker to the G Men.

The boys also nab Shams Charania to cover his breaking story from Monday that the Bulls fired Fred Hoiberg. Elsewhere, Chief isn't happy with Stan Bowman for a lot of reasons and the recent media tour isn't doing that ANY favors. Dave and Carl turn on the stove for a hot minute to talk some baseball before an extremely limited grab bag and abbreviated award session.

Eddie Olcyzk Part 1 + Bears Roll + Behind The Scenes Of Dente Pizza Reviews
The Red Line crew is proud to present it's first Beefsgiving, a new holiday recognizing a beef sandwich meal before recording your Thanksgiving podcast in Chicago. Or something like that. Anyways we got some amazing behind the scenes stories from Eddie and WSD about their 4-hour beef/pizza/hot dog excursion this past Friday night in Chicago. Spoiler Alert: Eddie hates spoilers and Dave was full of them Friday. It's an argument/rant from Eddie for the ages. Next up is first place Bears talk about and why this team is ready to bury our insecurities as Bears fans once and for all. Cody Parkey obviously gets a few beefs. Carl then does some brain pretzeling on why the Cubs could land Harper, but likely sacrificing something major in the process that would leave Cubs fans shook. Next, Chief and WSD sit down with EDDIE OLCZYK, a certified living legend, to recap the state of the Blackhawks in Part 1 of a lengthy 2 part series with Edzo. It's an amazing interview loaded with the stuff we love…

Not much else to say here. November 6, 2018 will go down in Blackhawks history for all the wrong reasons. Brent Sopel joins Chief and Carl to talk about what made playing for Q so different, why he was the best, always will be the best and got nothing but a good old fashioned fuck job on his way out of town. But like all good rememberances, we're not here to grieve. We're hear to celebrate. Sopes makes it so damn clear why Stan Bowman is a dead man walking, figuratively. Obviously!

Bears Win + Hawks Can't Win + Machado To Chicago?
Episode 76 is as loaded as your Uncle at an Old Country Buffet baked potato bar. Spoiler Alert: very loaded. The Red Line crew spent some time in Evanston this past weekend watching Notre Dame continue its march to a perfect season against the Northwestern Wildcats and who would have guessed it Northwestern lost. Dave and Chief recount the game and tailgating at Northwestern. "Not Bad," says Chief, disappointedly. Elsewhere, Eddie is back from his week at the spa to explain why the Bears 41-9 victory was so damn sweet. Notably, Eddie got a good look despite a big blowout, and he thinks the boys are really starting to come together. In other words, the breakdowns are big and beefy, just how we like it. After that, Dave and Carl go back and forth in a hot debate about whether Machado or Harper fit into the Sox plans and what it would take to sign either. There's a noticeable difference the boys uncover later in the conversation. Chief then gives a passionate look at why the Hawks suck, w…

Scottie Puppen + Bears Win
The Red Line Boyz are back in action after watching the Bears dismantle the New York Jets. Eddie got laid up in the hospital after some bad car wash beef but is still able to come off IR for solid Bears talk as always. Carl's new dog, Scottie Puppen, is introduced (not really) as the official mascot of Red Line Radio, the first true mascot in Barstool Sports history, allegedly.
Later, Chief and Dave go inside and out on Northwestern/ND this weekend with some piping hot takes and lots of arguing. Spoiler Alert: White Sox Dave loses the argument, but all signs point to a major Northwestern upset. So that's nice. Chief proceeds to solve the Blackhawks while Carl tells his Stan Bowman story for the 10th time in Red Line Radio recorded history. WSD then covers Chicago offseason baseball moves for what seems like an eternity, but only because there's so much juicy info. It's the first of many deep hot stove convos between WSD and Carl.

Brian Urlacher
The biggest episode in the history of Red Line Radio featuring the boys' collective childhood hero, Brian Urlacher. #54 joins the boys to talk retired life, getting juked by Tom Brady, winning without a quarterback and everything else the Red Line guys could throw at him. As always, Urlacher does not disappoint. Around the interview, the boys give their Bears/Patriots reactions lead by Eddie's staunch belief that the Bears are trending up. Also, Chief explains why the Hawks are back but far behind the Elite teams as evidenced by the Lightning beatdown. Carl and Dave chat up the World Series, Eddie explains why Zach Levine looks like the real deal (note: before Lavine went off in Dallas btw) and then Carl drops a new cornucopia of questions on the boys.

Big Cat + Bears Disgust
Big Cat joins the Red Line boyz to breakdown the most disappointing loss Chicago Bears fans have suffered since week 1 of this year. Not a long time, but still remarkably soul crushing. We have first place expectations, and we will honor those expectations regardless of their validity. Eddie and Big Cat assign blame, talk through their issues and help us move on to New England because God knows the Bears need everyone's help. Big Cat also helps the boys get through some Bulls expectations for the year, and we can all agree a successful year includes a lottery pick, post play development and some flashes from Zach Lavine. In other words, it's very very bad. But not all teams in the UC are destined for misery. The Hawks look PHENOMENAL and Chief is going to explain why that does not apply to Brandon Saad and why he will not be buying him a beef. Carl and Dave round out playoff observations on Chris Sale sucking and the new Cubs hitting coach. Other segments include Carls Cornucopia (a gr…
