It's time for Five On It. Rahimi Harris and Brody bring you five topics on their minds today. On 104.3 The Score. I got five on it. Number one.
All right, we are broadcasting live from Wings and Rings on Halstead before the Southside home opener. There's free parking in the back. There's shuttles to and from the game, which is pretty awesome. And if you can show proof of a Sox game day ticket, you can get a free side. Wings and Rings is giving you free stuff, people. Just show your ticket. So come by and say hello. We're here till 2. Here's question number 1. The NFL announced that the Bears will not receive compensatory draft picks. Here's the statement from the league, quote, The matter is now closed following the club's appeal. The NFL informed the Bears today that they will not receive compensatory picks. The policy is designed to provide picks for the primary football executive position.
The league determined Mr. Cunningham, will not fill that role with the Falcons as it is defined in league rules. So here's the question. On a scale of 1 to 10, on the injustice meter, trademark, where do you rate the level at which the Bears are getting screwed here?
Oh, the injustice is at 8.5. Clear. And the only reason it's not at a 10 is because technically the NFL is well within their rights to say this guy doesn't fit this position because the guy in charge is in charge of football, Matt Ryan. And that's it. I give him the 1.5. I don't like it. I think it's in poor taste. I think it does not carry the spirit of the rule. I think it will make people ask themselves, well, why are we even doing this? Understand this. No one got comp picks. For this, this offseason. It's done in the past, but we know that there is a diversity issue with the NFL. People are not getting the honest looks that they should be getting.
How did the NFL's decision impact the Bears' draft picks?
You can see it when you look at that GM picture that was just taken a few days ago at the owner's meetings. Look, all the way around. And so because of that, I have to say 8.5 on the injustice meter trademark.
blanket 10 10 because everybody knows what it is and everybody will tell you that ian cunningham is in charge and he was in that gm picture and matt ryan told you he was in charge and i don't know a lot of grown men that i've come around who are going to willingly tell you a person who might be in a position underneath them is actually the one doing the actual job i don't know a lot of men like that matt ryan told you he told you what time it is he explained it ryan poles explained it ian cunningham explained it they all did it in a polite way because they have to i don't have to be polite i think this is dumb and for everybody who's mad you have every right to be mad because The rules are not being applied evenly or equally.
And you have a reason to be upset about that. The Athletic did a survey of 17,000 newsletter subscribers. It was just under 17,000. 95% of them thought the Bears deserved the picks. That's not just the Bears. That's the people who subscribe to their actual newsletter. So there's a reason we talk about it. There's a reason the Bears appealed. And this is silly. It's just arbitrary and they're doing whatever they want. And they're going to get some guff for it because we're the ones who can actually give it.
It's a nine for me on the injustice meter. It is unjust, and we have pointed this out many times, but I'll say it again. Nobody would get hurt by the Bears getting these draft picks. It's not like they're coming from Atlanta. They're coming from the NFL. Maybe it would hurt the rest of the teams in the Bears division, but... The Bears did everything right, as I discussed, with the development and subsequent hiring of Ian Cunningham to a bigger position. However, it's not a 10 for me and it is a 9 because, similar to what Marshall was saying, the technicality aspect of it, that twinge of gray area. which they cannot allow the Bears to set the precedent, then every single year you're going to have teams debating this, and we're going to go through the same appeals process, and we're going to have to talk about this again.
