Week 16 - Browns Review and Eagles Preview

How about those FIRST PLACE Chicago Bears? Cutler is back, Briggs might be coming back (just in time for Shady McCoy)...things are looking up for The Beloved. Nick and I give out thoughts on the last game and talk about the outlook for the Bears playoff chances - see if you can follow along!

Week 15 - Cowboys Review - Browns Preview

We talked about the shellacking of the Dallas Cowboys, weight in on the Cutler vs. McCown debate, and look forward to the game in Cleveland on Sunday. Come on in!

Week 14 - Vikings Review - Cowboys Preview

This week we get back on track and discuss the horrible Bears defense, and some surprising facts are uncovered by Nick when we look at the Monday Night Football match up against the Cowboys.

Belated Week 13 - Rams Review and Vikings Preview - Special Guest PETE!

Thanksgiving got the best of me (Mike) and I dragged my feet on posting this, sorry everyone. It's still worth a listen as we get talking with our good buddy Pete who lives in Minnesota, and he's not even being held hostage! Weird. We'll be back with a new podcast this week for Week 14!

Week 12 - Ravens Review and Rams Preview - Special Guest, Mike's Sister!

This week we are without the Nick Jones that we all know and love, and Mike has a head cold, but does that stop him from delivering a quality podcast??? Ummm, maybe...you be the judge! Mike brings on a special guest who's in town from Chicago, his sister, and gets her take on the general feeling in Chicago regarding the Bears. Mike also makes fun of Nick, which is relatively simple to do. Bear down!

Week 11 - Detroit Lions Review and Baltimore Ravens Preview

This was a strange, strange week. It just felt kind of weird watching the game while Jay Cutler hobbled to every snap, poor fella. The Bears were beaten by the Lions again, but all hope is not lost as the schedule ahead is not horrible. We review the Lions game and tell you why there are good times ahead. If you have a score prediction or find something we said that was wrong, please tell us at 708-232-3271 or 708-23-BEAR-1. Thank you!

Week 10 - Packers Review and Lions Preview

Nick and MIke celebrate after a BIG Bears win in Green Bay, who cares if it had to take one of the best QBs in the league having a broken collarbone? We celebrate a little too much and have a 2 hour podcast to show for it, so strap in and get ready for 120+ minutes of podcast magic! Text or leave us a voicemail at 708-23-BEAR-1, that's 708-232-3271. Thanks for listening!

Week 9 - Redskins Review and Packer Preview - Special Guest, Tracey!

Nick is back in this week's episode, and we come back with a pretty good show if I say so myself. Of course It's 1 AM and I haven't listened to the whole thing, so who knows how accurate that is...but the Bears have had some setbacks and this week isn't looking pretty. Give a listen and send us a text for the score of the Bears @ Packers game; 708-232-3271. Bear Down!

Week 7 - Giants Review and Redskins Preview - Mike is Solo!!!

In this week's episode, Jonesy goes AWOL on us and Mike fends for himself, making history and recording the first-ever solo Bear Garden Podcast. Please give it a listen and let us know how it went. The Bears are 4-2, looking to go 5-2 into the bye week, a sweet spot indeed. If you can guess the exact score of the Bears vs Redskins game, you get a free t-shirt, and if you can be the first to point out any mistake I made, you get a free sticker. Text/voicemail is always 708-232-3271 (708-23-BEAR-1). Get it while it's hot!

Week 6 - New Orleans Saints Review and Giants Preview

Any loss is tough, but this one wasn't necessarily a surprise. The Bears were outplayed by a (currently) better team that they may run into again during the playoffs. This week we review the loss to the Saints, grade the offense and defense, give our "Bear Bones of the Week", and then get into the matchup versus the horrendous New York Giants. Text us your Redskins score predictions for Week 7 @ 708-232-3271 to possibly win a t-shirt!

Week 5 - Lions Review and Saints Preview - New Orleans Restaurant Calls

This podcast is an absolute train wreck, we both apologize and say "you're welcome" for it. If you're anywhere close to easily offended, please don't listen and wait until next week. We hit some pretty offensive subjects in my opinion (Mike)! Go Bears, leave us a message or text us at 708-232-3271 or email thebeargardenpodcast@gmail.com Thanks for listening!

Week 4 - Steelers Review and Lions Preview - With A Special Voicemail (no guest)

The Bears are 3-0 and we review the win in Pittsburgh, and grade out the different areas of the Bears team...probably lower than you would think with the Bears at 3-0. We announce a fun contest: first person to point something out to us wins a bumper sticker! Call or text us at 708-232-3271 with your guess as to how the Bears vs Lions game final score will turn out...if you get it exactly right we'll send you a t-shirt! Go Bears!

Week 3 - Vikings Review and Steelers Review - With Special Guest, Scott!

Another Victory Podcast! This week we get into grading out the great last-second victory against the Vikings, and we get a Steeler's fan on the phone so we can smell the Steeler's despair. Give us a call/text!

Week 2 - Bengals Review and Vikings Preview - With Special Guest, Pete!

This week: Nick gets a better microphone, and starts the podcast about 10 beers deep. We celebrate the great victory against the Bengals, introduce our new ratings system, and then welcome a special repeat guest to the show, Minnesota Pete. Pull up a chair, grab a few beers, and take a listen. Text or call us at 708-232-3271 any time, day or night.

2013 - Week 1 Preview - Chicago Bears Podcast vs. Cincinnati Benglas

We're back folks! Please pardon Nick's garbage microphone, it gets better after the first 5 minutes or so. If you want to chime in for the next show, just text or leave us a voicemail at 708-23-BEAR-1 which is 708-232-3271. We're looking forward to the start of the season, we cover what's happened in the offseason, and what to look for in the Bears week 1 game against the tough Cincinnati Bengals.
