🚨NEW PODCAST🚨

This week on the Domestic Draft Podcast, Evan and Dan crack open a couple of pilsners and try to make sense of a brutal Cubs slide that has quickly turned optimism into full-on fan anxiety. After a season that already featured a 10-game winning streak, the Cubs have now answered with a 10-game losing streak, silent bats, ugly losses, and the kind of baseball that makes you question why you signed up for this in the first place. Is it time to panic?

The guys also check in on the latest Bears stadium drama, with Arlington Heights still hanging around while Hammond, Indiana enters the picture, plus early OTA storylines around Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson. Then they wrap with a Bulls refresh, including the end of AKME, the new front office hires, and the coaching names starting to surface as Chicago finally tries to build something different.

If that ball got thrown to 1st base to record the final out of the World Series, Rizzo knew *exactly* where he was stashing it 🤣👖

Ben Johnson is here as OTA’s roll on at Halas Hall. He says his message to his players is to “build their foundation” here in the offseason.

Ben Johnson: "I’m buying Luther Burden stock right now. ... He looks like he's playing at a different speed right now."

[Herb Howard @HerbHoward411]

The #Bears got their Man! S Dillon Thieneman was the pick at No.25. The Rookie brings his 4.35 speed to a very versatile backend of the Defense.

Here’s my recap of Round 1 of the NFL Draft.

Life has been full lately, and we know we have not been dropping episodes as consistently as we want to.
That is what makes it so cool to see people still checking out the show and supporting us anyway. 481 downloads in the last 30 days is honestly awesome, and we really appreciate it.
More to come. Appreciate you all sticking with Domestic Draft.

🚨NEW PODCAST🚨

On this week's episode, we’re joined once again by Big Dave (@BawlSports) from CHGO Bulls to break down a busy trade deadline week in Chicago.

We dig into the Bulls’ recent moves, including who they moved on from, what they got back, and what these trades tell us about the front office’s direction. Is this the start of a real rebuild, another retool, or just more Bulls limbo? We talk roster construction, future flexibility, fan expectations, and what Chicago should realistically be hoping for over the next couple of seasons.

🚨NEW PODCAST🚨

This week on The Domestic Draft Podcast, we welcome Steve Fincutter, a Wisconsin dairy farmer and lifelong Packers fan. We start by talking about life on a dairy farm in Wisconsin — the routines, the grind, and what it takes to make it work day in and day out. Then we pivot to a Bears vs. Packers playoff matchup that carries real weight.

This isn’t just another chapter in the rivalry — it’s a rare, high-stakes meeting between two franchises whose history is built on moments like this. With playoff implications, pride, and a lot on the line, we break down what this game means for both teams, the players involved, and the fans who live and breathe this rivalry every year.
