What are the latest updates on the NFL offseason moves?
B-plus.
Yeah, they didn't have a lot of room to work with.
They had spots they needed to fill. They're filling the spots. Yep, I like the Kobe Bryant pickup. He had four interceptions last regular season. He was on an excellent defense. I feel like he's going to help with slot coverage, which is something they needed. I feel like Neville Gallimore is a guy who can help with the run defense, which is, again, something they needed. And they replaced linebacker, which is, again, something they needed. So Devin Bush, great. They signed DeMarco Jackson. Daniel Hardy's back. Braxton Jones is back. With what they were able to work with cap wise, I feel like this is good.
How does Adam Amin manage his busy broadcasting schedule?
Seems like a step in the right direction, right? I'm assuming by letter grade, the letter I is not available to me in this exercise. No, Marshall, we're going with grades, grades, real grades from the report card. Because I've gotten an eye on my report card, let me tell you.
I mean, to be fair, you're supposed to grade based on what they've done so far, which yesterday was a complete day.
I guess I'm giving them a B minus. It's either that or a C plus. I'm not overwhelmed. I'm not underwhelmed. I guess I'm just whelmed. That is actually a word. And so that's where I'm at with this Bears team. They did address some needs in a way that... make me say, okay, that's not bad, but they didn't make anything to say, oh, that's amazing that they did that. Maybe we set the bar too high and that's why I'm like, well, okay, B. Well, that's why I said it's either C plus or B minus for me.
What was the atmosphere like during Team USA's win against Mexico?
There's nothing detrimental that they've done. That's why it's above average. But is it that far above average? There's still more to come, obviously. So I know the questions based on so far what they've done. I can't knock anything that they've done. Number two. Yesterday, the NFL announced the 2026 compensatory picks, handing out 33 picks to 15 clubs, and the Bears were not one of them. The Bears believed they should receive draft compensation after the Falcons hired Ian Cunningham as general manager last month and disputed the matter with the NFL, but to no avail. So here's the question. On a scale of 1 to 10, on the newly created Injustice Meter... Where would you rate this development in the Bears compensatory pick saga?
Now we're going to get into this more at one o'clock because it deserves some time. 11 on the newly created injustice meter. Because what the hell are you doing?
How do players feel about representing their countries in the World Baseball Classic?
And I feel like some people got their hopes up thinking that they could somehow get one out of the two or that there would be some sort of consideration. But all indications said this is what was going to happen. Because Matt Ryan, who wasn't as qualified for his job as Ian Cunningham is... is the highest level football officer in how the Falcons structure their organization. Except Matt Ryan said over and over again that Ian Cunningham is the general manager. So because of that, I think that this is an injustice. Ian Cunningham didn't leave because he felt like moving to Atlanta for the Lemon Pepper Wings. Ian Cunningham moved because it was a promotion.
Although that'd be a cool reason to move to Atlanta.
OG stats for sure. But point being, we've said this before and we'll say it again. Nobody pays for these picks. These are compensatory picks. They are given by the NFL. Nobody has to take picks from their own and give them to the Bears for this.
What are the implications of the NFL's compensatory pick system?
It is a reward for doing the right thing and creating opportunities and trying to create opportunities. avenues for minority candidates who have not had the same fairness applied to them in this league to be able to do this and instead they just decided we're not going to enforce our own law and in doing so and i'll get into this at one o'clock i think also just horribly illustrates racism in a way and discrimination in a way that uh they did not intend So yeah, 11 for me.
Ooh, 11 on a scale of 10. I like that. I don't think I've ever gotten an 11 out of you on a zero to 10 scale, but I am here for it. And I don't disagree with your sentiment specifically because no matter how you chalk this up, and I understand that in the NFL's eyes, at least this is what they've said, they view Matt Ryan as the number one football man in Atlanta.
