Ben Johnson served notice to the NFL with a historic offensive performance against the Panthers!

Here's what Laurence thinks of the Bears-Panthers matchups.

One of the things that makes Ben Johnson special is adaptation.

Playtime is OVAH!!! It's one of the most anticipated Bears season in recent history and it's about to get started. Here's how Laurence spent his last free Sunday.

The Bears starters played for a bit. Left Tackle is still unsettled and unsettling. And one of the draft picks may be starter soon.

After the Browns game, Ben Johnson is mixing it up. Roster spots are on the line. Do you feel confident about the LT spot?

Ben is using his call sheet and platform to help his coaches advance. In today's NFL climate, that type of advocacy should be applauded and hopefully will become the standard.

It's good to have Bears preseason football back.

It's getting rough out here to have real dialogue about where the Bears build their stadium. Laurence shares some stories and ideas for best practices when it comes to who you believe and why.

The Vikings have named Kyler Murray their starting QB. That's terrible news for JJ McCarthy. It might be bad news for the Bears too.

The Bears made a shrewd move signing Coby Bryant, but what are the implications of him being gone for probably the entire season? Hey, Kyler!!!

Darnell Wright has played above and beyond. The Bears rewarded him with a new deal. He's a perfect fit for where they are and where they're going.

Laurence went and saw Spider-Man Brand New Day and thinks it should be a template for superhero moviemaking going forward.

the B1G was in Chicago for Media Days and Laurence wanted to see what it's about. Should CFB be covered more thoroughly in Chicago? And what goes into making those decisions?

The Halas Hall crew is not resting on their laurels. Accountability is a high priority for Ben and his crew.

At the dawn of Bears Training Camp, the news about Kyler Gordon is not good. Laurence talks through it.

Laurence says Bears fan access is a hill he's willing to die on.

Laurence talks about the shakeups at ESPN and the Howard Stern show and talks about his own experience with a public layoff.

Should you watch the latest season of Quarterback on Netflix? Laurence thinks so. There are some interesting ties to Caleb Williams that are worth exploring.

Sports is a great gateway drug to travel. Laurence spent the weekend in Toronto and loved the food, architecture, art and love for sports. Here's his travel log if T.O. is on your list.

The Bears have a coach that Defenses fear. It's a time of Offensive innovation. So how will these Defenses respond? Plus, some sportsradio ratings thoughts...mixed in with Cubs and White Sox.

If you love Baseball and want to be inspired, this is the episode for you. One of Baseball's best teachers, sat down for a chat and it was incredible.

Laurence talks about some of the hypocrisy that has been part of the Bears Stadium discussion.

Hard to divorce the politics with the sports, when the sports is actively engaging the politics. And nobody is winning.

Laurence has been working on his Chess skills. It's taught him a life-lesson he wasn't expecting.

After a long vacation, Laurence looks back before returning to work, at his 28 years working at The Score. Since 1998, the station has evolved and hopefully so has Laurence.

The draft is over, and the Bears picks left some fans scratching their heads. Did they do enough? Were needs met? Laurence thinks there's some method (man) to the madness.

Laurence talks through why the Bears pick of Dillon Theineman made all the sesne in the world.

Laurence works through the pros & cons to moving Darnell Wright to Left Tackle (And Zorich to Linebacker). Does where Darnell plays affect the draft?

These are interesting times for the Bears as a football organization. This draft is important, but doesn't feel as heavy. Laurence explains why.

The hardest working man in the business continues to evolve and expand his reach as a broadcaster. Laurence & Ant also preview the Bears draft options.

Laurence vents about sourcing, reporting and disclosure in Sports Journalism.

Laurence believes the Sox need to check their collective egos and fix things with Frank Thomas.

There is no zealot, like the converted! Laurence reacts to Team USA's "all business" persona during the WBC. He can relate, but thinks everyone involved needs to take a breath.

Connor is a special talent. And over the last few seasons of White Sox baseball, fans on CHSN have found that out.
