Our Chicago Bears Hard Knocks EP 1 REACTIONS + NFL Teams With Kicker Issues

With Episode 1 of HBO's Hard Knocks Chicago Bears in the books, Ninja and Tony give a full review on the episode and the early signs of what this Bears team looks like as well as how Matt Eberflus, Caleb Williams, Ryan Poles and Theo Benedet's thong all came across. Elsewhere on today's episode, we break down the Brand Aiyuk situation especially now with the New England Patriots having pulled out. We check in on some of injuries around the NFL, but really focus on five teams and players that may need to be checking the panic meter. We also dig a little bit into some NFL teams that have some kicker issues entering the start of the preseason. But we also focus in on WHY the kicking game is so important to your betting. It is NOT an aspect that should be overlooked. All that and more on this week's episode of The Huddle!

MLB Trade Deadline Recap + NFL Hall of Fame Game Preview
Busy show this week on The Huddle as Ninja is back with Tony to talk NFL news and notes, the annual Hall of Fame Game, MLB Trade Deadline and much more! It’s been a busy week for several NFL teams, but for all the wrong reasons. There have been injuries, suspensions, retirements and all sorts of news and notes from around the league and Tony takes a rip through everything you need to know. Also, it’s crazy to think, but the NFL Hall of Fame is upon us as the Houston Texans and Chicago Bears get the preseason rolling from Canton, Ohio. The Olympics are in full swing and the guys break down their thoughts on the Olympics as an event and bring in Chris Walder of the Odds Shark staff to share his thoughts on what’s been going on in the world of Olympic Basketball. Canada and the US look like the faves, but the States have a massive game coming up against South Sudan, who they only beat by one point in a pre-tournament exhibition game. Lastly, the fellas rip through some of the biggest names that were moved during MLB trade deadline and revisit the futures board to share their thoughts on the contenders, the biggest trades that happened, and the biggest trades that didn’t.  All that and so much more on this week’s episode of The Huddle!

About the Hosts

I’ve been referred to as “Ninja” for the most part in my, oh, 13-year-or-so career as a writer, video producer, video host, capper, analyst and content creator. There isn’t an overly-entertaining explanation for why that nickname has stuck, but it has.

Fun fact: my first ever bet was a bad beat. It was Browns at Saints in 1999. Tim Couch’s rookie season. I had Saints moneyline. Couch throws a bomb some 60 yards in the air at the end of the game and somehow Kevin Johnson is able to get his mitts on it for six. Browns win. From that moment on, I consider myself to be somewhat of an aficionado of heart-breaking betting losses. “But my capping was on point!” he says, hiding the tears.

Apart from being a die-hard fan of Tottenham Hotspur, the San Francisco 49ers and Toronto Blue Jays, you can find me on the golf course, or cooking up something delicious in the kitchen for the fam, or watching some obscure Japanese or Euro film that nobody gives a s*** about.
