FOJ 83 - Manager of the Year, Highmark Stadium Headaches, and the FOJ Cup
<p>Jeff and Jason catch up on Jason's men's league baseball playoff run and his CPBL Manager of the Year award, then dig into Bears preseason (Caleb Williams' cameo, Case Keenum), the Deshaun Watson booing controversy, the Myles Garrett trade, and NFL international expansion. A Bears jersey trivia battle leads into Cubs vs. White Sox, headlined by Pete Crow-Armstrong's historic bookend walk-off homers. They talk Jeff's NYC trip, road trips, Joshua's 21st birthday and golf round, the endless Bears stadium saga, and Jeff's 3D-printed FOJ coins, plus early ideas for a "FOJ Cup" and Listener of the Year award. </p><p><br></p><p>00:00 - Intro & catching up</p><p>00:03 - Jason's baseball playoffs recap</p><p>01:07 - Breaking down the semifinal games</p><p>05:51 - Jason wins CPBL Manager of the Year</p><p>07:42 - Shoutout to listener Phil</p><p>08:14 - FOJ listener-of-the-week coins debut</p><p>09:34 - Bears preseason: Caleb Williams' cameo</p><p>10:57 - Deshaun Watson booed, Browns controversy</p><p>13:07 - Watson's guaranteed money & fallout</p><p>14:24 - Myles Garrett trade & Browns rebuild</p><p>15:39 - NFL's international expansion plans</p><p>17:38 - Aussie/rugby players & NFL's global reach</p><p>19:19 - Bears #83 trivia: Willie Gault</p><p>22:15 - Cubs vs. White Sox series recap</p><p>22:33 - Crow-Armstrong's historic walk-offs</p><p>25:33 - Cubs/Sox playoff positioning</p><p>27:12 - Blackhawks, Bulls camps & "Great Purge"</p><p>28:09 - Jeff's NYC trip: clean streets, food</p><p>29:53 - NYC boroughs trivia with FOJ AI</p><p>32:41 - Is Times Square overrated?</p><p>34:53 - NYC travel costs & Utopia Bagels</p><p>35:37 - Upcoming Chicago & NYC trip plans</p><p>36:20 - FOJ coins heading to Chicago</p><p>37:10 - Jason's road trip history</p><p>39:21 - Retirement travel dreams</p><p>40:34 - Jeremy's visit & 18 holes of golf</p><p>41:15 - Joshua's personal-best round</p><p>42:47 - Jeff's upcoming Mallorca, Spain trip</p><p>43:59 - Friend Chad's anniversary</p><p>44:38 - Joshua's 21st birthday plans</p><p>45:38 - Flashback: brother Michael's 21st in Vegas</p><p>46:26 - Jason's Vegas memories</p><p>47:19 - Vegas as a conference destination</p><p>48:23 - Bears stadium: Kevin Warren's non-answers</p><p>50:16 - Mapping the Hammond, Indiana sites</p><p>51:52 - Political fallout if Bears leave Illinois</p><p>52:26 - NFL's push to keep Bears in state</p><p>53:01 - Jets/Giants-in-New-Jersey comparison</p><p>54:07 - Barclays Center & arena relocations</p><p>54:52 - NFL/college stadium capacity rankings</p><p>56:04 - Highmark Stadium's view controversy</p><p>57:00 - Domed vs. outdoor stadiums debate</p><p>57:40 - Memorable weather games (Fog Bowl)</p><p>58:26 - Bills' snow-shoveling crew callback</p><p>59:03 - Jeff's 3D printing deep dive</p><p>1:00:00 - How long the coin batch took</p><p>1:01:47 - Automated material system & filament</p><p>1:02:36 - Print failures & troubleshooting</p><p>1:04:17 - QR code keychains & future coin ideas</p><p>1:06:08 - Coin size, material & durability</p><p>1:06:24 - FOJ Cup & Super Bowl coin-toss pitch</p><p>1:07:43 - Brainstorming the FOJ Cup</p><p>1:08:27 - FOJ Listener of the Year concept</p><p><br></p><p>FOJ podcast, Friends of Jeff, Chicago sports podcast, Chicago Bears, Bears preseason, Caleb Williams, Bears stadium, Kevin Warren, Hammond Indiana, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Cubs vs White Sox, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Cleveland Browns, Deshaun Watson, Myles Garrett, Shedeur Sanders, NFL international expansion, Willie Gault, Blackhawks, Bulls, Highmark Stadium, Soldier Field, MetLife Stadium, AT&T Stadium, Fog Bowl, New York City, Times Square, 3D printing, FOJ coins, FOJ AI, Las Vegas, golf, road trip, Chicago podcast</p>
