Okay.

You know, you say it out loud.

It doesn't always sound how you want it to.

And what's that, Ray Diaz?

You know what?

This is what we like to do on Rahimi Harris and Brody.

We are going to be getting news all day here on The Combine, real time on 104.3 The Score.

We also expect to hear from Ben Johnson in just a little bit.

Thanks to our producer Sean Sears and Tyler Buterbaugh for also helping us out with this.

In addition to Ray Diaz.

So without further ado, we're going to pause when we want to react to something, but we will play.

Ryan pulls his comments to the media here from the combine this morning.

Bravo to Ryan Poles for advocating for himself, for advocating for the Bears, and then also speaking to his personal experience.

So that is Ryan Poles from the Combine.

Our press conference coverage is brought to you by your local Hyundai dealers here on Rahimi Harrison Grody on 104.3 The Score.

And right out of the gate, that's the first part of the discussion, because as we know, this is the first time that Ryan Poles has spoken specifically

since the news of Ian Cunningham going to the Atlanta Falcons.

He's listed as the general manager for people who may not know that, but Matt Ryan, who is a former college teammate of Ryan Poole's, the former Falcons quarterback, is considered the president of football operations.

So because of that, there's a lot of understanding in the NFL that the Bears will not get compensatory picks for promoting, like Ryan Poole's mentioned, his career arc coming from Kansas City, getting a promotion and running a front office.

And the rule is being selectively applied.
