What topics are covered in the '5 On It' segment?
Time for five on it. Layla Rahimi and Marshall Harris with Mark Grote. Bringing you five topics on their mind today. On Chicago Sports Radio 670 The Score. I got five on it. Number one.
This is Five On It on 670 The Score. Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris in the house. And here on the Rahimi Harrison Grody Show, we have entered full Bears offseason mode. There will be grades given out in depth. There will be awards given out by this show to that team. But what we're asking for our first question is this. What is your first blush letter grade for the Bears 2025 season?
Are we giving out prizes?
There may be prizes. Should we give out prizes? We have to get doors first and put the prizes behind the doors. We'll figure that out.
Yeah. I don't know. Or maybe I could just scrounge around my apartment to give Grody another crown. Like, happy North year. I don't think Grody deserves the crown again. He didn't really appreciate it. Bears took the North, guys. So for that alone, A. Yep, that's my grading system. It can be that simple. Not an A+. Not a mid-A+. You're at a 90 because you made the playoffs. You took the North, which is something you set out to do millions of years ago. Wait a minute now. A minus is what a 90 is, correct? Still an A. Okay. But it's A minus is what you're saying. It is indeed. Okay. I want to be thorough and clear with this. That's all. It's still a four point. Okay. On a four point scale. You're right. So A. A plus is like you made the title game of the Super Bowl.
We got to leave room for better. Superb owl. Gay, good, better, best. Yes. They're better. They're good and they're better. They're not quite best. And like, yeah, I come from a Persian dad who's never happy with anything. 97, anything under is an F, essentially. But that's not how I grade. All right. A. I agree. A. 95. Oh, 95. 95. Well, here's why. Here's why. They won the North. They took the North, as you said. They acquired the North. They won a playoff game. They handled the North. Well, no, they took the North. They took it. They possessed the North. They took the North. Until somebody takes it from them, they own the North. They took the North. 95, and here's why it's a 95. You got to leave room, right? If they had won that game, probably a 96 or 97.
If they win the next game, it's a 98. And if they win the Super Bowl... Oh, it's 100 because that's the goal. The goal. That's a perfect score. 100. Is there a team that was, say, Super Bowl winner but not 100? No. Was it like the 2012 Ravens? Because if we're being honest, it's not pass-fail, but winning the Super Bowl is the goal. If you achieve the goal, it's 100. 708 makes a good point here. What's that? What do we got? A, not A-, because they took North, won a playoff game, and were 20 yards from advancing an OT. 95. 95. 93. No, 95. This is not a Madden rating, okay? No, it's not, but I'm saying it's an A, and I'm just telling you why it's not an A-, and why it's not an A+. It's a solid A. 815 is trolling me.
Imagine how well the Bears would do without shoes. Oh, man. Maybe they would be in a Guinness Book of World Records for playing a football game without shoes. Come on, guys. Just drink Guinness. It's cool. You don't have to do all the record book stuff anymore. You can just have a beer. It's okay. We got a whole brewery out there.
The saddest day for any NFL team took place yesterday. It's locker clean-out day was yesterday at Hallis Hall. Among the players that spoke to reporters, safety Kevin Byard.
What is James 'Big Cat' Williams' perspective on the Bears' recent season?
And I have a system update in my screen. That's always fun. Okay, yeah, so Kevin Byard spoke to reporters at Hallis Hall yesterday and discussed the idea of sustainability.
I think with the core of the guys that we have here, obviously with Ben leading this roster, but also you have a franchise quarterback. That's one of the hardest things to get right, you know what I mean? To have a franchise quarterback, obviously continue to build around him. But like I said, who knows what it's going to look like on that side of the ball, defensive side of the ball. But like I said, I think if you have those first two pieces with the head coach and the quarterback on the same page and
