Presented in partnership with my bookie, I'm Dan Bernstein, that is Matt Abaticola and we've got a lot to do here on this Monday. Obviously we're going to talk about the Bears 2614 victory over the visiting and hapless Saints. But the Bears helped make them they added haplessness to their already existing baseline level of haplessness. We will also discuss what I think can easily be argued is the greatest individual single game performance in the history of US Team sports. Team sports anywhere. And that was what Shohei Ohtani did over the weekend. Just jaw dropping. Also, Joel Quenville's re return to the United center had some things that were being said that continue to make me angry and I will explain why. Also a brazen heist at the most august art museum in the world. It proves correct a theory from one of my former producers and we have DBU picks on this Monday. I hope everybody had a terrific weekend. I know that yesterday's big Bears game was the outcome was exactly what you want and the way they got there might not have been. But you know what, that's a good thing. If we're already in a place where we can have a Bears win that is somewhat less than satisfying, that's not so bad. I think that the the perspective on that say yeah, they won but well, okay, well think about where you were. That's four in a row. That is four wins in a row despite an 0 and 2 start. And it is looking like it's going to be more of a challenge than maybe first thought in the upcoming game this weekend at Baltimore noon on Sunday. This is going to one of the better broadcasting crews with ian Eagle and J.J. watt on the call for CBS. Bears are already a six and a half point underdog because apparently both Lamar Jackson and Roquan Smith are coming back. So this will be, this will be a chance for them to figure out we don't know how good the Bears are. I don't know. Let me say I no Royal, we here. I don't know how good the Bears are. I'm liking some things. I'm seeing. I'm not liking other things. But it is a sign of a well coached football team when they can score 26 points again. They're scoring and they're scoring. They're able to do it when their quarterback was bad. They they won a game relatively easily. Remember, they were up 20 to nothing before things started to NFL on you, because that's how. That's just seemingly how these NFL games are designed to go, regardless. But they were up 20 to nothing and beating the bejesus out of a team that you should, with their quarterback being bad, but you run it until you stop it. And the defense had a hell of a day. Dennis Allen had a great day, mixed some things up, showed some different things. So all in all, in this league, every next week, all you can do is win. And then if they can somehow take this step back from Caleb Williams and the communication problems and the timing problems and the rhythm problems and fix that, or as they say, clean that up and clean up the penalties, you can start to see it a little bit. You can start to see. And it's okay to begin and maintain higher expectations. And this is a process, learning to have higher expectations. I like where it's going, though. I like the fact. And this is going to be, I think, a theme of the week. They're four and two. They've climbed out of the cellar in the NFC North. That isn't taking the north and never giving it back, but at least there's an inkling of some future success in their current success. And both are. Are intoxicating in a way. Yeah.
