This hour is being brought to you by Menard Saving Big Money at Menards. And who and who? The Bears and whatnot. Love Bears. Eagles. Bears.
Rahemian
Grody.
10-2 on 104-3 The Score.
We have fresh Ben Johnson audio for you. It's the greatest Ben Johnson trigger of all time, bringing up the name Kyler Gordon.
What about that guy in the flyer? You know, people
don't even say his name. The practice window has opened. So Ben Johnson was asked, What about Kyler Gordon?
From your perspective in the last few weeks? I I've got nothing to add there. Who hurt you, Ben Johnson?
Oh, that's it. We gotta keep that one. Like, hey Layla, how's your budgeting going? I
I've got nothing to add there.
How's your increase of sleep going? I
I've got nothing to add there.
Hey Layla, how's your better workout schedule that's trying to be more regular going?
I I've got nothing to add there.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yep.
Ben Johnson also told reporters at Hallis Hall this morning that he's not sure who he's gonna start on Monday against the Eagles, but he expressed confidence in third string quarterback. Here we go, Case Keenum.
What happened in the Cubs’ 3‑2 loss to the Marlins and why did they miss the playoff clinch?
He's been a baller from I think the day that he was born, from what I can tell. You know, it's just he's got that way about him. He's got a knack, his teammates gravitate to him. Um I think that's a good starting point for a quarterback and and of course, you know, he he's up there in years a little bit.
He's getting up in years. That was
thirty eight. So we both laugh
when we heard that.
We did.
Old man Keenum, he's too old to play football, but he's good in the preseason. I'm going in. Coach you serious? Yeah, I'm serious.
You can
do
it! Get that old ass of yours in the end zone! We gotta win this deck! Hey, old man! Absolutely not, you're gonna get killed out here. They've been trying that for years. Don't worry, I got the perfect play.
It's all fun and games, kids, that you wanna bring in these player coaches like your Mercedes Lewis's of the world and your Case Keenums.
Chase Daniel.
Yeah, watch out. They're gonna have to play sometimes because they're taking up a roster spot and you put 'em on payroll.
Man. He's up there in years a little bit.
I
I've got nothing to add there. Layla Rahini, Mark Grodi. Middays 10 a.m. to two on Chicago Sports Radio. 1043, the Score.
We are broadcasting live from the Hyundai Studios, brought to you by your local Hyundai dealers, along with Layla Rahimi. I am Mark Grody. We are Rahimi and Grody. I will just say from that five butte open, what it made me think, what I've concluded from all of that regarding ages. 38 is a great age in life. I get it in sports, you're getting a little over the hill, but if you're 38 and you're listening. Listening to the score right now, it's really the perfect age 'cause you're probably starting to make money, you still look good, you still have the energy to go out a lot. You're not forty yet. You're two years away from forty. Yeah. Yeah. Thirty-eight might be the greatest age that exists in life.
I think the years that I was in my best personal physical shape, like where I actually had a balance and could work out and stuff, I've got nothing to add there right now. Was twenty something in the twenties, like twenty two to twenty six. Right. And then thirty-eight. Like somehow I found it again and then completely lost it. Was skinnier during the pandemic, oddly enough. But then, you know, forty hits and it changes. There was Ben's there, welcome to forty. Yeah. Yeah. Welcome to forty. I've got nothing to add to it. I've got nothing to add, but I'm not going to be able to do that. But he works out like a mofo.
He does. Yeah.
And and he he runs on four hours sleep and I don't. I'm sorry, I just can't do it. I'm not a cyborg.
I I understand that. So congratulations if you're 38. Enjoy it. Because if you're 38 right now and you're driving around, you're probably like, I'm getting old, I'm getting close to 40. Enjoy it. Revive, refresh. Like the 20s is a different animal. Of course, we could all make the case that when we were in our twenties, that was the best times of our lives. But it's not a real I
