About this episode

Anion Don discusses the Chicago Bears' remarkable turnaround in the NFL and reflects on his personal journey with sports.

The Bears are kings of the North again, and Don is soaking in every second of it. In this episode of El Ganso de Taberna, Don breaks down one of the most improbable turnarounds in recent NFL memory. A year after finishing 5–12 and firing their head coach midseason, the Chicago Bears have clinched the NFC North. Same quarterback. Similar core. Completely different results. Don dives into how it happened. The rise of Caleb Williams in year two. The Ben Johnson effect and what real coaching stability looks like. A defense that creates chaos. An offense that finally fits its quarterback. From historic comeback wins to beating the odds in one-score games, this is a season built on belief, execution, and timing. But this episode goes deeper than football. Don reflects on his personal relationship with sports, growing up a baseball kid, finding football later, and ultimately closing the book on an 18-year fantasy football run as a longtime commissioner. He shares stories about betting on himself, standing by his quarterbacks, and the connections the game has brought into his life. It’s part season recap, part personal send-off, and part reminder that expectations don’t define you…
