## Resource

Dan Bernstein pushes back against the growing tendency among Bears fans to keep a running ledger between Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson, assigning every good decision to one and every bad decision to the other. 0:00 This isn't Ryan Poles vs. Ben Johnson 33:00 The Cubs keep adding to the record books 40:35 Why sign Tommy Pham? 55:20 The Red Sox sold out Heated Rivalry night in 48 hours 59:25 What does a real Wrigley Field "romance" look like? Dan explains why successful NFL organizations operate with a unified vision and why personnel decisions should be viewed through that lens. Plus, another unforgettable night for the Cubs as historic comparisons continue to pile up and records keep falling. Dan also weighs in on the White Sox's Tommy Pham trade and why he hopes it proves beneficial for the organization. Elsewhere, the Red Sox delivered a memorable "Heated Rivalry Night" at Fenway Park, and the Cubs are getting into the entertainment business with a TikTok rom-com. Dan shares what it would take for the team to authentically capture the unique romance of Wrigley Field.
