FOJ 87 - Bears Bad, Bocce Good, Caleb Hurt

<p>Jeff and Jason open with the trip to Chicago, Portillo&#39;s after a conference happy hour, and a career night in Jeff&#39;s Sunday bocce league (rules included for the uninitiated). From there, baseball talk covers the Cubs clinching a playoff spot, Pete Crow-Armstrong&#39;s franchise home run record, Alex Bregman&#39;s scary foul-ball injury, and the White Sox playoff push. Then it&#39;s on to the Bears, who lose 9-3 to the Vikings in a sloppy, penalty-filled Week 2 setback that ends with Caleb Williams sidelined by a hamstring injury and Tyson Bagent taking over behind center. FOJ AI weighs in on what the offensive line needs to fix, and the guys survey backup quarterbacks around the league before diving into an all-time tight end debate (Tony Gonzalez, Travis Kelce, Jason Witten, Rob Gronkowski, and Antonio Gates) with detours into Tim Tebow&#39;s baseball career and Jameis Winston&#39;s cologne habit. Jeff previews a fall packed with conference travel, Jason gets ready for his first trip to Lambeau Field, and the two make their picks for next week&#39;s Bears-Eagles matchup. FOJ AI closes out the show with its weekly recap, plus a birthday shoutout to a longtime listener.</p><p><br></p><p>0:00 - Intro and Week 2 NFL setup</p><p>1:31 - Chicago recap: Portillo&#39;s, NYC, and the mural project</p><p>4:06 - Bocce league rules and Jeff&#39;s career night</p><p>12:17 - Cubs clinch, Bregman&#39;s scary foul ball, and PCA&#39;s home run record</p><p>18:22 - White Sox playoff push and MLB postseason predictions</p><p>26:47 - Last week&#39;s guest recap: Bob talks youth sports coaching</p><p>31:32 - Bears fall 9-3 to the Vikings in a sloppy Week 2</p><p>33:10 - Caleb Williams&#39; hamstring injury and Tyson Bagent in relief</p><p>36:36 - Offensive line penalties and a broken pass protection</p><p>51:42 - FOJ AI on fixing the Bears&#39; O-line</p><p>55:09 - Around the NFL: Panthers, Saints, Bills, and more Week 2 results</p><p>1:04:46 - Legendary backup QBs: Chase Daniel, Fitzmagic, and Jameis Winston</p><p>1:07:13 - FOJ AI and the Heisman winners who played baseball</p><p>1:11:01 - Bears-Eagles Week 3 predictions</p><p>1:16:58 - Jeff&#39;s fall conference gauntlet and Jason&#39;s Lambeau Field trip</p><p>1:22:15 - Chiefs-Colts check-in and Travis Kelce talk</p><p>1:27:01 - Tight end GOAT debate and FOJ AI&#39;s Antonio Gates fact-check</p><p>1:30:27 - Caleb Williams&#39; injury outlook and the Bears&#39; backup QB options</p><p>1:39:22 - Blackhawks, Bulls,
