After a hiatus, the boys of Zero Doinks are back as the Bears begin camp in Lake Forest. Caleb looks amazing already and there is no chance our predictions of 11-12 Bears victories will fall short. Injuries are scarce, the vibes are hot and the Bears are all the way back. Dan expresses some nerves about the upcoming Hard Knocks season, of which we are planning immediate reaction ZD episodes. Dan Pompei of The Athletic hits our radar again after another weird article. Plus plans for 2024 Bears Fantasy Corner and highly-desired Bears weekly awards are previewed. Is Rick Feelsmen alive?

Dan Doinks avoided schedule leaks all day and he's ready for all 17 Bears games to be teased to him one by one this week. Will Bill have the beloved at 17-0? Will Dan shock us all with over-the-moon optimism? How will Caleb fare against NFC North foes this year? We dive so so deep and put our sizeable necks on the line with hot takes and predictions as only we can. This is the best time of the year.

Caleb Williams is officially a Bear and he has already taken over the team and city. He's our weird QB and it is about time we have a dude who does not give a F. With his new WR weapon Rome Odunze, clearly this new era cannot and will not fail. The boys of Zero Doinks chat through each of the five new Bears rookies, with a hat tip to The Average Cheese's Peter Jones and his draft guide, as well as the return of Bill's Comps. Plus tons more, including where do the Bears still need to plug some roster holes, what do we make of the stadium plans, and more. It is our time. Maybe. Finally.
