Welcome to Dan Bernstein Unfiltered here on 312 Sports. Dan Bernstein, our executive producer, Matt Abaticola. We are presented in partnership with my bookie and we have much to discuss today. We had the start of basketball season last night and its own story was the return of the NBA to NBC and the presence of no less a sports God than Michael Jordan just deigning to lend himself to the broadcast to give back or pay it forward somehow to the game of basketball. It's never just basketball with Michael. It's ever professional basketball. It is always the game of basketball. So we'll talk about that. I want to talk a little bit what happened on the floor in the NBA last night. The Bulls are opening the season tonight. Go get them. Against the Detroit Pistons. They're down several players perhaps. And I also think that we should discuss this upcoming Bears game now that the Bears are getting back to practice and they will be meeting the media today. The 4 and 2 Bears looking to extend their four game winning streak at Baltimore against a Ravens team that even with the return expected of Lamar Jackson and Roquan Smith is certainly something less than the intimidating trip it might have been. However, as we discussed yesterday at length, Bears are still six and a half point underdogs and we'll see. And I have a story from the state line area that could not be more awesome to close today's show. I'm having so much fun with it and I, it is. I just can't wait to get to it. But we're going to have to wait because we have other things that we have to discuss, including last night. It was fun. I enjoyed it. I really, it felt big and I'm not going to quibble too much. They had some typical opening night issues and there are some things that are going to work out but I think, I think NBC is putting themselves there was a good foot forward for what these broadcasts are going to be. Mike Tirico was his usual highly professional self. He's almost too good. Like how does for the number of sports that he does the. He never stumbles.

He's very good.
B (2:36)
He never stumbles. Yeah, he is. He never ever stumbles.
A (2:41)
Yeah, he rarely, he rarely misspeaks. Has. He never identifies anyone incorrectly. He's very smooth regardless of the sport he's doing. It just feels like that's his main sport. Yet they all feel that way.
B (2:54)
Olympic sports. Yeah. All the stuff the guy's talking about. Curling or biathlon. And his research is impeccable.
