Summary

The Bears are moving up the dial, the Cubs are poised to attempt some "intelligent spending," the Cubs annual ode to sweatpants is returning and Jon Greenberg of The Athletic drops by to talk about all of it and more.  They talk about if the suddenly entertaining (but still bad) Bears will earn a promotion out of any of their noon Sunday kickoffs or at least better announcer pairings, why the Bears thought they'd probably never work out a deal with Roquan Smith, is Luke Getsy back in play as a head coaching candidate, what players the Cubs will be in on and should be in on. The Cubs have fired another hitting coach, and does it make any sense to steal an old first baseman from other other side of town. Why doesn't Ryne Sandberg take more crap for quitting in the middle of a season. If Twitter really implodes how does that effect sports reporting and sports fandom. What happens to the White Sox when Jerry Reinsdorf shuffles off this mortal coil, why did Ozzie Guillen really get an interview, and Jon has read "The Book of Joe" and the guys discuss that, too.

    53. New name, same crap podcast - Pointless Exercise: A Desipio Podcast

    Release Date: 01/10/2020

    Description: The new year is here and your favorite podcast is back (and so is this one). We've got a new name. The Desipio Podcast is now Pointless Exercise, because that just sounds more official. Andy is here for an abbreviate pod to start things off and he talks about the plans for a regular Cubs edition of this podcast and more 1-on-1 interview podcasts for you to enjoy. He talks about the Cubs' nonsensical attempts to trade Kris Bryant, about the Ricketts' dodging the fans at the Cubs Convention, the predictably ham-fisted launch of the Marquee Sports Network and even a little about the report that the Bulls' are finally, really, maybe going to blow it up this time. Sure. Then he finishes up with some stuff you should be watching.

    106. "Nobody hates a dullard." - Pointless Exercise Podcast

    Release Date: 12/29/2020

    Description: The Bears have inexplicably staggered back into playoff contention and Andy and Mike P. get you ready for Sunday's sure-to-be-memorable tilt with the hated Packers. They go through all of the scenarios, look back at the Jags rousing halftime speech that convinced their team to stop trying, break down how averaging 35 points per game the last four weeks is basically just barely above average, look at Roquan's unusual attempt to get named retroactively to the Pro Bowl, and give you key scouring reports on both John Wolford and Chris Streveler (they are likely more important to the Bears playoff chances than Mitch Trubisky or Aaron Rodgers. Andy explains how he got various Twitter bans for posting naked photos of Steve Stone, impersonating Chip Caray and announcing Pederast Day for the Cubs, and how he never liked or disliked Ryne Sandberg. It'll all make sense. The guys also rank who they think the Bears can beat in week one of the playoffs.
