    RECRAP - Three goddamned hits? - Pointless Exercise Cubs Playoff Podcast (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    How bad was the Cubs 8-0 loss to the Padres in game one of the Wild Card round? We started the RECRAP before the game was over so we could stop watching it. Petecrow struck out to start the game. Fernando Tatis hit the first pitch Matt Boyd threw for a homer (though Petecrow almost caught it) and if the game felt over at that ridiculously early moment, it really was. We look back at an awful game and try to figure out what the Cubs are going to do in game two.

    RECRAP: The Case Keenum Game - Pointless Exercise Podcast (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    The Bears pounded the Eagles 27-7 and the star was a 38 year old third string quarterback. What was less likely, Case Keenum turning back the clock or the Bears' defense throttling the Eagles? Both happened. Enjoy the RECRAP brought to you by Schlitz Beer.

    The playoffs start on Tuesday, and Oleg and Praz are here to help break down the serieseses, the announcers and everything in between.

    495. Bears RECRAP - Hamstrung - Pointless Exercise Podcast (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    We'll find out soon enough if the Bears entire season went down with Caleb Williams' hamstring or if just some if it did. He seems to have avoided We point out who is to blame and it starts at the very top! Also it didn't help that the Bears' offensive genius was completely pantsed by the Vikings' defensive genius or that the center and the rookie tight end each did a lot to cost them the game. The weirdos who can't wait to see Tyson Bagent get a few starts are about to get their wish. Let's hop

    494. No lead is safe - Pointless Exercise Cubs Podcast (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    The Cubs are frantically trying to figure out how to patch together a leaky bullpen, again, while Petecrow cruises to an MVP and the tries to not blow a playoff spot. Oleg and Praz are here to figure out what the playoff bullpen will look like, which superstar bench player has to depart for Dansby Swanson's return (Gabriel Arias or BJ Murray?) We look at the "tough" decisions the Cubs have coming for the playoff roster. And, yes we do discuss if they can still blow it.
