Summary
Dan Bernstein is already circling one of the most intriguing matchups on the Bears' schedule as Ben Johnson's offense prepares to face Brian Flores' aggressive Vikings defense at Soldier Field. Dan believes this Week 2 showdown is exactly the kind of early season test the Bears need to measure just how far they've come under their new leadership. 0:00 Ben Johnson vs Brian Flores is the matchup we need 25:00 Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Johnson and their "foot doctor" 45:00 CWS - Tristan Peters at-bat of the year 51:45 Princess Bride the musical is coming to Chicago He also raises questions about Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Johnson reportedly seeking treatment from "Doc Moe," wondering why NFL players would turn to such an unconventional route and whether the situation deserves more scrutiny. Plus, Dan looks back at what may have been the White Sox at-bat of the season, as Tristan Peters delivered a memorable moment in Cleveland. And in a much lighter turn, one of the most beloved cult classics of all time is headed to the stage, as The Princess Bride: The Musical is set to make its way to Chicago next year.
