Podcast Zero Doinks

The newly-adopted official Premier League team of Zero Doinks, Everton, is on the brink of relegation. A huge matchup with Crystal Palace is happening and Zero Doinks is (kind of) on the scene to see what the Toffee's fate will be. Special guests Rick Feelsmen, Mike from England + Darren from Dublin join Bill and Dan Doinks to see if Everton fans w…

The 2022 schedule is out and things are red hot in Dan's trousers. We take a look at how the Bears will run through this year's slate and highlight some dates that tickle our fancy. Plus Dipsh!ts and Dipsticks is back for another rousing update from Greasetank Frank (RIP to Rick who is vacationing without his thumbs). A few other surprises, per usu…

King Poles sat on his drafting throne for the first time as Chicago Bears GM extraordinare and who did he find? Eleven new players plus an ungodly amount of undrafted free agents. With their seconds of research, the boys of Zero Doinks react to all of the new Bears as only they can. Plenty of special guests this episode, including the incomparable …

If there was any doubt Ryan Poles was going to start slow, the trading of Khalil Mack and additional cutting of three bloated contracts shows otherwise. Welcome to the kick off show for Season 4 of Zero Doinks. We can't believe we haven't been imprisoned yet so consider everyone lucky I suppose. We'll discuss the quick start to free agency for Pole…

The boys get together in person for the season finale of Zero Doinks's third year. Time flies when you're making jokes about Garfield's lasagna and John Wayne Gacy. From Ballydoyle's in Aurora comes Bill + Dan plus special guests galore as a new era of Bears football is soon on the horizon. No better way to end a season of Zero Doinks but with some…

Black Monday struck hard at Halas Hall as not only was Chicago HC Matt Nagy canned, the seven-year reign of GM Ryan Pace was also deleted like a rack of Hamm's. Yet, somehow, Ted Phillips remains a trusted soldier of the McCaskey family despite years of uselessness. The boys of Zero Doinks talk all about their Bears feelings and discuss possible ta…

The season is, mercifully, nearly over, and the Bears have put themselves in position to tie for second in the NFC North with a Week 18 win at Minnesota. But who cares, they're 6-10, and the only good news is there are a few teams more dreadful than them, including the New York Giants. Wow, they are terrible. Reports of Matt Nagy's imminent demise …

Who thought they'd have the opportunity to see BDN lead the Bears to a victory in 2021? Not Dan and Bill Doinks, that's for sure. Not sure what that says about the Seahawks to be honest but hey, who cares. Nothing changes about the future of this squad, though, as we are two weeks from (hopefully) major changes. 0:00 - 01:23 - Intro 01:23 - 02:17 -…

What a shocker, Matt Nagy was fully in charge and the Bears lost. Somehow Chicago manages to lose despite giving up less than 100 yards passing to Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings. This is so sad. Celebrity journo Brad Swiggs pays the boys a visit this week plus tons more, including Rick Feelsmen and his hot pick(s) and who knows what else. M…

The Packers beat the Bears for like the 900th time out of the last 969 games. Who cares, why is Matt Nagy still the coach. Can we just fast forward to 2022. JF1 was back so that was fun at times. Still too many rookie mistakes but hey, he gives Chicago reason for hope. We go off the rails a few times this episode so if you're looking for hard-hitti…

We'll be honest, we don't spend much of this episode talking about the Cardinals-Bears game. Nor do we do a deep dive into Bears-Packers. So what do we spend over two hours talking about? Welp, I hope your name isn't Brad Biggs because you might be in the crosshairs juuuuust a bit. Plus lots of other stuff, including a B1G team in the football play…

For all of you, like us, who sat through that wretched Thanksgiving Bears-Lions game, may we be rewarded in the afterlife. Cairo Santos kicks a game-winner, Andy Dalton was given a silver football (and seemed way too excited about it) and rumors continue to swirl around Matt Nagy's job status. Just end it all, okay? The top NFC team cruises into So…

One can only hope by the time you are listening to this episode that Ted Phillips, Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy have all resigned out of shame. Or someone found incriminating photos of all three of them at a local farm. It's long past time to burn it all down. Dan Doinks was on the scene as the Bears lose to a Lamar Jackson-less Baltimore Ravens squad. …

After a relaxing bye week for us Bears fans, JF1 and the lads prep for a return to Soldier Field as Lamar Jackson and the Ravens will be coming to town. The boys will give you their hot hot fantasy and gambling picks (as will resident sharp and shark, Rick Feelsmen). Plus the long-awaited return of Gray Balls as Coach Cuse has put together quite th…

Chicago's comeback attempt falls short on Monday Night Football as the Bears lose to Big Ben's grey penis in Pittsburgh. We'll talk all about JF1's continued ascension toward greatness, and Matt Nagy's latest example of why he should be facing an obvious firing, as the Bears head into their bye week. Plus of course we'll talk about Jordan Love's de…

Matt Nagy sits this one out but another loss hits the column nonetheless as Jimmy G and the 49ers roll all over Chicago's defense on Halloween afternoon. At least Justin Fields looked pretty sweet, right? That's really all this season is about, let's be honest, especially with the trade deadline looming and a GM and coach whose jobs should be just …

The Bears fell to under .500 at the vengeful hands of Tom Brady and his 600+ career TDs. Under Matt Nagy, this Bears outfit had no chance to hang with the defending champs, which feels like a bit of a problem. What next for bewildered rookie QB Justin Fields and his teammates? San Fran stumbles into town this weekend for what feels like an absolute…

Aaron Rodgers might own the Bears but he does not own Zero Doinks. We will talk all about the Bears having now lost 10 out of 11 to Green Bay as well as Rodgers's message for all of Soldier Field. Dan Doinks was in the flesh to witness yet another loss to the Packers and frankly this is all too familiar of a feeling, wake us up when both Rodgers an…

JF1 is the starter now and the rest of the league is on notice. Justin Fields and the Bears have won two straight after a W in Las Vegas against racist (and now fired) Jon Gruden and the Raiders, led by trash panda owner Mark Davis. We will give you the ins and outs of the Bears win as well as the reintroduction of Justin Fields is Gold now that he…

Your favorite Zero Doinks contributors were on site during yesterday's Bears-Lions game and the boys will recap a long and boozy day at Soldier Field. With Justin Fields notching his first W as a starting NFL quarterback, head coach Matt Nagy had to allow his ego to enter the story after it was revealed that Bill Lazor was the brains behind the Bea…

In a lifetime of bad Bears losses, Sunday at Cleveland might take the cake. You know what happened. One net passing yard. No touchdowns. No in-game adjustments by offensive genius Matt Nagy. JF1's starting debut could not have gone much worse. We talk all about that horrific Sunday and look forward to Chicago's return home to Soldier Field against …

There is literally no chance Andy Dalton will ever see the field again after limping off into the ether during the second quarter of Week 2 against Cincinnati. It is a new era, a time for change and a time for hope. It is the era of Justin Fields and the rest of the NFL shall bear witness as the Chicago Bears are about to reward their fans for deca…

Sunday night football on NBC exposed a few Bears issues to a national audience, wouldn't you say? The defense was poor, the offense was dinky and dunky and the result was a 20 point loss in Los Angeles. We look at all that happened against the Rams while turning our attention to the home opener against 1-0 Cincinnati as Dan Doinks will be attending…

At long last the regular season kicks off as Andy Dalton (gross) and the Bears prepare to open their season on NBC's Sunday Night Football at the Los Angeles Rams. How long will it be until JF1 is allowed to save the franchise? Halftime? God we hope so. What do we make of the matchup and what are our final 2021 predictions? Resident sharp Rick Feel…

Justin Fields made his preseason debut against the Dolphins and both Dan and Bill need to take their pants to the dry cleaner. What were the first impressions? How handsome did he look in navy? Is Coach Matt Nagy bending at all with his initial plan to start Andy Dalton Week 1? What was the Soldier Field experience like for Bill Doinks? The Bears h…

Adam Shaheen and the Dolphins are coming to town for preseason game number one but will the Bears have enough players to field a team? Soldier Field will house fans for the first time since 2019 as Justin Fields gears up to make his professional debut. What should we expect as fans? What's the latest word from camp? Is Justin Fields still the footb…

How difficult is it to find a loss on the newly-released 2021 Bears schedule?

The boys try and fi…

This is the quarterback we Bears fans have been waiting for all of our lives. What was life even like before the Bears didn't have a franchise QB?

The boys still can't believe it and cannot wait to talk all abo…

As a make or break NFL draft approaches for Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy, the boys of Zero Doinks talk about what they'd like to see happen for the Bears during the first round. The Bears are going to angle for a rookie QB at some point, right? Speaking of QBs, Dan and Bill needed to take a breather before talking about Andy Dalton as the likely QB1 for…

It has been awhile but the boys are back and there is a lot to talk about. Does Ryan Pace have the noots to acquire a future Hall of Fame QB? Would either the Seahawks or Texans be dumb enough to go through with a trade? What is next for Allen Robinson now that the franchise tag has been applied? Just so many Bears questions, not the least of which…

Zero Doinks is back for a third season of ridiculousness. Special guest Rick Feelsmen is here to give his hot takes on all things Bears, NFL and more as the boys of Zero Doinks dive deep into an underwhelming Bears offseason thus far.

Incredibly, the Bears are improving and are in the thick of the playoff hunt with two games left in the 2020 season.
