Talking WCG’s Bears’ Top 100 Player List: Part 2

I’m assuming that by now you’ve all spent countless hours perusing our our Top 100 Bears’ Players of All-Time list and story-stream that Sam Householder, Jacob Infante, Erik Duerrwaechter, Jeff Berckes, Jack M Silverstein and myself compiled earlier this year in honor of the Chicago Bears’ 100th anniversary season.

I also assume that by now you’ve also listened to the first half of my special two-part T Formation Conversation Podcast where I grabbed Sam, Jeff, and Jack to talk about the 100 players we picked for our list.

In my latest T Formation Conversation podcast we talked about the players we ranked fifty through one, so give it a listen right here.

We not only talk about these historical great Bears, but we also bring the discussion around to the current team, plus you get you hear Jack doing dished in the second half of the episode.
