SHOW NOTES
* 284.
* The Better Business Bureau in the age of Yelp.
* Coffman: “It was never the Better Consumer Bureau.
1:58: Has It Ever Been This Bad?
* Late ’70s was pretty bad.
4:30: Is That It For Trubisky, Pace?
* Lieser: It’s Time To Move On From Ryan Pace.
* Biggs’ 10 Thoughts: “If the Bears don’t make replacing Trubisky the team’s No. 1 offseason priority, they’ve failed to have an honest evaluation of what’s happening at Halas Hall.”
* Biggs’ Mailbag: Is GM Ryan Pace’s Job In Jeopardy? Will QB Mitch Trubisky Be Replaced? Is It As Bad As We Think?
* Was that Trubisky’s last start at Soldier Field? Connor McKnight, Arthur Arkush and Biggs discuss.
* Coffman: About That Hip.
* The methodical Chiefs.
* Probing and prodding!
* SI: “Montgomery has been used only about as much as a receiver as Jordan Howard was.”
* The Panthers claimed Mike Davis off waivers in November. He has yet to get an attempt.

* Chicago Byes:
While I’m told the Vikings haven’t finalized their plan for Sunday, they’re leaning heavily towards resting a bulk of their starters, including Kirk Cousins, per league source. Team viewing Chicago week as a bye in terms of getting guys rest/healthy for Jan.

* Aaron Rodgers And Danica Patrick Buy $28 Million Malibu Mansion.
* Danica Patrick was born in Beloit, Wisconsin and raised in Roscoe, Illinois. She went to high school in Rockton, where she was a cheerleader. She got her start racing go-karts.
* Maybe I was thinking of the Brewers’ signing not of a former Cub but of former White Sock Avisail Garcia.
45:50: White Sox Making Moves, Starting Grooves.
* It’s Officially A Successful Offseason.
52:45: The Cubs Reckoning That Wasn’t.
“Last year didn’t meet our standards and we want to try to do better next year,” Epstein said. “We’re also at a point where after five consecutive years of charging straight ahead and pouring a lot of resources, in terms of both prospect capital and dollars, into trying to win now, we’re also at a point where we have to really think ahead and secure our future as well and try to create sustained success over a long period of time. That’s the challenge.”
