Chapter 1: What are the five main sports topics discussed in the episode?
It's time for five on it. Rahimi Harrison-Roney. Bring you five topics on their minds today. On 104.3 The Score.
Number one. We're going to have more on the NFLPA report card coming up at one, but for our first question, before I get to my first question here for you guys, we have to introduce our man Clay Harbor from CHSN. He's the co-host of the Big Pro Football Show on CHSN alongside David Hall and Ruthie Polinski, and he's in the house with Layla Marshall. So here is question number one.
What stood out to you about the Bears' grades on the NFLPA report card?
Okay, first of all, shout out to friend of the score, Kalen Kaler, because the NFL filed a whole injunction. That's a court hearing. That is a court proceeding to try to make sure that these player grades were not released to us, the menacing public. They got released anyway. Ha ha ha! You know why? Because transparency is good.
The thing that surprised me the most about the Bears grades, it was the treatment of families. How did they get a C plus in that? I thought that the Bears were pretty good when it came to all that stuff. Like daycare for the kids and things like that. Or somebody to watch kids whenever there's a game or whatever.
You know, if they're able to, if wives and kids and stuff like that are happy during the games. And maybe I got swayed by the TikToks because there are some Bears wives and girlfriends, if you will, wags, who have posted like, go with me to a Bears game. They're getting their makeup done and they look great. They're having a good time. Simone Biles is out here taking pictures, you know.
So I was kind of surprised to see that it was a C. Marshall, what did you think?
So that did jump out at me, but I think more so the home game field of C, like that being the low score, the Bears got relatively good grades. They 13th overall, a lot of A's, a lot of B's. And then it's like the C plus for treatment of families, the C for a home game field, and then the C plus for defensive coordinator.
The defensive coordinator thing stood out, but I got it because you got a lot of guys playing in a new system, and maybe they don't fit, and maybe they're not getting the playing time they want because of that. But the home game field, the reason that stood out is because I started looking at other teams' home game field, and you see the Carolina Panthers, F. Buffalo Bills, F.,

Chapter 2: What did Clay Harbor notice about the Bears' NFLPA report card?
With all these guys, they got a B. With all these guys that come back and then they're out for three more weeks with the same injury. You got Jalen Johnson. You got TJ Edwards. You got Kyler Gordon. You're getting a B. I wish I could not turn in some assignments and get a B or get an assignment return and I still get a B. That's something for me. And then the defensive coordinator, C+.
Usually you like your defensive coordinator. This guy running your meeting. You'll go to bat for this guy. For me, this scale, like a C+, the minimum grade for a coordinator should be a B. If that means something. And I got some C's in college. I know you guys were overachievers. You probably didn't. But what that means is you probably got some A's. I had some assignments I did really good on.
But you probably got some D's and F's too. So there's probably a number of players on that defense that were like, Dennis Allen? I don't like this fit. He's not putting us in the best situations. He's not doing things that really accentuate our abilities.
And I think that's something that when you come into a new system, a lot of these guys are maybe fluke guys trying to play DA scheme could happen. Wasn't it Jaquan Brisker who was basically like wanted to get turned loose by DA?
He tweeted because somebody goes they should use Jaquan Brisker more. And he's like, yeah, use me. It was that direct.
Number two. Question number two is multiple choice. What do you think is the most likely scenario for quarterback Aaron Rodgers next season? A, a return to the Steelers. B, he signs with the Vikings. C, Aaron Rodgers signs with a different NFL team. Option D, he'll just retire. Or E, all of the above. Chaos.
Now listen, I made you put all of the above on here, did I not?
Oh yeah.
You know why? Because then he's all things to all people, but most importantly himself. Oh my goodness. So I still have the theory, the conspiracy theory, the rando theory, whatever you want to call it, that Brett Favre... And his retirement saga.

Chapter 3: What are the potential quarterback scenarios for Aaron Rodgers next season?
I hate calling it that. Just like to me, it's still the Sears Tower. I think it would be a true NBA plot fashion to go loose to the Canes, but beat the Lakers.
So that would be a 16 game losing streak at that point. And you think they could just roll in and it's March 12th.
Think about the load management, you know, think about like LeBron's older, you know, like you're over here. No, was it who said Luca was never going to win a title? Was it Spiegel?
That was Matt Spiegel. We made a hundred dollar bet on that. Outstanding.
I think you're going to win that handily.
Yeah, he said he would never get back to the finals. They're sixth place in the West. It's not like they've just lost three straight. No, no, no, no.
But that's it.
He said they would never. He said Luka, the player, will never, ever go back to the NBA finals. Will never go back. Yes. Oh.
It was a bold prediction. But you know what? One good bold prediction deserves another. I can't say this with a straight face. You know, you know, Ray, I'm simply saying this for the plot. What do you think, Clay?

Chapter 4: How did the Cubs pitching perform in the early spring training games?
A huge space eater. You can put him at one tech. You can put him at three. You can put him at five. I even turned on the tape and I saw a 335-pound man at nine technique. That's versatility. That sounds very relative athletic score-y, the way he said no production. He's got all the tools, the traits. Why do you think this is going to translate at the NFL level to actual production on the field?
Watching the Senior Bowl and just seeing what he's doing and some of the best guards and tackles lining up everywhere. And just a man of his size. The only way, the only way I don't see this guy working out, he's not taking two business days to get off the ball like Jervon Dexter after it snapped. Okay, this guy actually has that suddenness. And he's going to get off the ball.
And I'm not slandering Jervon Dexter. I think he's a solid pass rusher. He's got to work on his run fits. But... The only reason he won't work out is if he's not healthy because he is taking on blocks in the run game. He can rush the passer. He is massive. He is just going to eat up space just by being that large human.
Also in the combine, I've got to mention this, he didn't finish because he said his cleats were bothering his feet. He had a foot injury last year, so that's something to be aware of, but apparently it was no big deal and he will be fine to come on to his pro day and everything after that. He didn't use the V word, which you know I like when they talk about players. Violence?
Yeah, you didn't use the V. Is he not violent? He's very violent. Okay, that's what I need to hear. He's very violent. Okay, you ready for a small school sleeper?
Oh yeah, this is your specialty, being a small school sleeper.
FCS kid, All-American, first team. His name is Caleb Proctor. No, not Caden Proctor, the offensive tackle. Caden Proctor, defensive tackle. His senior season, he was first team, All-FCS, All-American, like I said. He had nine sacks, 13 TFLs, led his team to the playoffs. And here's why I think he can play. I turn on the tape against LSU.
You know, FCS schools have one game a year against a big-time opponent. Gotta get paid. He had two sacks when the starters were playing. This guy played his best against LSU, SEC, big-time football. He looked better than a lot of those guys. And then I look at some of the stuff he did in the East-West Shrine game. All-star games matter.
My East-West Shrine game, probably the reason I got drafted in the fourth round. have success against these bigger schools when you're an FCS guy. He dominated the East-West Shrine game. This guy is going to slip maybe the fourth, fifth round because he's a little bit smaller. Combine was so good, he might fourth, but he's only 6'2", 281.

Chapter 5: When will the Bulls win again after their losing streak?
You know, when you hear Brad Biggs talk about it, you realize how it has actually permeated throughout the NFL. More with Clay Harbor coming up next. We will also get his thoughts on something that Bears offensive line coach Dan Rochard said on a podcast recently.
So we'll do that and more next. We've got some opportunities there, whether it's free agency or the draft, and certainly some of our own in the building as well that we're looking to continue to develop. And so we look at all the opportunities out there, and we've got a lot of conversations going on for what that's going to look like.
Oh, we're playing Grody's favorite song and he doesn't even know. He's not in today. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. Marshall shaking his head. Clay Harbor is here. Clay, multi-year NFL veteran. He hosts the Big Pro Football Show on CHSN with Ruthie Polinski and David Haw. These two are getting ready for a vaudeville act tomorrow is what I see it. It's snowball.
Is this when we promo this? Why not?
Okay, so tomorrow... Clay Harbor and I will be co-emceeing Junior Council's 37th Annual Snowball Gala. And Clay's done this before. He roped me into doing it with him this year.
Can't wait to see this.
All proceeds directly benefit the pediatric and adolescents. HIV AIDS Clinic at Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago funds that Junior Council raise money
help to provide scholarships for past and present patients of the clinic, a junior council van for transportation to and from the clinic, and much-needed testing, medication, and services for uninsured patients and patients coming from low-income families. So this is a 21 and older event. There is open bar. There's all the things. We've got Windy City dueling pianos. They've got a DJ.
It's going to be a good time. Clay and I will be ushering you into this evening. You can still get tickets, by the way, if you just Google Snowball Gala Junior Council. It'll come right up and buy some tickets, and Clay and I will be in full effect.
