0:00.0	Welcome in to another edition of the Under Center podcast here on NBC Sports Chicago.
0:11.6	I'm JJ Stankovitz, Bears, Insider for NBC Sports Chicago, joined by Cam Ellis.
0:16.2	He is up here at House Hall with me.
0:18.3	No John Moon-Mullen this week.
0:19.6	We'll be back with him next week.
0:21.7	We've got some things to talk about involving kickers, Cordero Patterson, Bradley Solbic.
0:27.5	We've got to start with the big news around the Bears. Mitch Trubisky is pretty good at chugging
0:33.7	beer, but Kyle Long is great at chugging beer. Yeah, I think that the Kyle Long you expect, because you see this all the time, you see
0:42.7	O'Bline men just go to other sporting events and just crush beers, just like crush them.

1:37.9	on. I'm sorry, Mom, if you're listening. Yeah. You should be proud. I hope so.
1:43.9	I am a man of very few exceptional talents,
1:48.6	and one of them happens to be drinking certain liquids very quickly in social environments. And so I
