50:00 Rockford Toughman

Bears Injury Woes: Chicago’s wide receiver room is in crisis mode heading into Sunday’s game in Cincinnati. DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, and Olamide Zaccheaus all missed practice. Running back D’Andre Swift is also banged up. Can Caleb Williams pull off a win with a depleted offense?

Will Flacco Play? Bengals QB Joe Flacco is 50/50 to suit up due to a shoulder injury. If he can’t go, Jake Browning will get the nod. Advantage Bears?

CJ Gardner-Johnson Joins the Bears: The fiery veteran DB is back with coach Dennis Allen and ready to bring energy to the locker room. But will his personality mesh with the team?

World Series History: Blue Jays rookie Trey Yesavage delivered a legendary Game 5 performance with 12 strikeouts, setting multiple World Series records and making postseason history.

LSU Coaching Chaos: Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is making headlines after saying he’d rather let Donald Trump pick LSU’s next football coach than the current athletic director. Yes, really.

Bulls Stay Hot: Chicago is 4-0 and riding a win streak into Friday’s matchup against the Knicks. Can Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis keep the momentum going?

Throwback Time: Dan shares memories of the wild Rockford Toughman Contest—where local fighters threw down in front of packed crowds at the MetroCentre.
