Carson Wentz caused some controversy last week, posting photos on social media of himself with a black bear that he sport-hunted in Alaska.
Here’s the question: we know Wentz, who grew up in North Dakota, is an avid hunter…but do you care?
“I guess he was bow hunting, and he nabbed a bear, and a lot of people are upset about it,” EB said. “Some people don’t like you killing animals, but to me, a dead bear is a good bear.”
“If it’s a bear in Alaska, it’s not really close to people,” Bish replied. “And man, that’s a big-ass bear. Although some guy commented, ‘next time, I hope the bear wins.’”
Apparently, according to one member of the Bickel clan, bears are…delicious?
“My son said bear is actually very tasty,” EB said. “You have to cook them well, though, because they have worms.
“Taylor Heinicke commented that he’d like to get a taste of that,” Valdez, who is just back from vacation, chimed in to corroborate little Bickel’s take.
JP wanted to know what else happens to the bear, and Valdez suggested a bear-skin rug, which you can place down by the fire.

“It’s this huge bear – you better make sure that guy is dead before you roll up and take some pictures!” JP laughed before picking on the takes picking on Wentz’s accuracy (or lack thereof) as a quarterback: “I saw a lot of comments that his first few shots fell short.
“People just want to be outraged,” EB said, with Drab chiming in “the guy chimes in he hopes the bear wins while eating his steak bowl from Chipotle. I don’t understand the outrage; it’s not like he’s killing a lion in Africa just for sport, and even if he was, that’s legal. He’s going to consume the bear; it’s food, and it’s a way of life for a lot of people, and he’s doing it legally.”
Valdez, perhaps, had the perfect answer with the perspective of a well-rested producer.
“People are upset because they’re mad at Carson Wentz, all butt-hurt because he underperformed. But there’s also this thing with teddy bears where you think bears are all cute and cuddly,” he said.
“I talked about it last week: if there’s a bear running around the neighborhood, they should whack the bear, not just tranquilize it and release it,” EB said.
This became a discussion between Drab and EB about bears in your neighborhood and why the outrage is there…and then whether or not Wentz would ever return to the NFL. Take a listen to it all above!
