What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I could do Stephen A. 's job, guys. It's not that hard. Danny Parkins. QB1 party. All are invited. Host of Fox Sports 1's First Things First. Coming in at number six, though, the team that should be the favorites in the NFC North, though the odds makers say they're the third best team, my Chicago Bears. Why can't the Chicago Bears be the best offense in football? The Bears, plenty of reason to doubt them. Caleb Williams, no. Former host of 670 The Score, before he abandoned us. That's a Caleb Williams custom, baby. Jersey number one is going to the Raptors.
You guys made it seem like a Chicago Bears fan. We had our guy, Danny Parkins, all these guys. Danny Parkins on 104.3 The Score.
Why do some believe the Chicago Bears can be the best offense in football?
Wait for Danny Parkins to come on our show, which he does every week. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. You can find us at twitch.tv slash thescoreschicago.
What challenges do the Bears face in the upcoming season?
Danny joins us there. Check out Danny on the newly expanded First Things First OT from 4 to 5 on Fox Sports 1. And Danny's out here making some people money. Danny, Nico Horner gets extended. Why do I feel like you had something to do with it?
Because obviously I did. No. Proximity. Yeah, sure. You know, I was just happy for him. What a good dude. Humble. Down to earth. Uh, you know, when I, I texted him after it was finalized and, you know, he just was like, you know, obviously thank you. But then he was like, what an amazing place to get to play ball. Like, I just, I think he, I think he genuinely loves it in Chicago and yes, believes in the organization's future, but also like, you know, these guys have friends around baseball and who play on other teams. And, um, There's no place like Wrigley. The Dodgers win more. The Yankees have as much, if not more, history, obviously. The Red Sox are in the conversation. But I can tell you, a day game at Yankee Stadium is not like a day game at Wrigley.
I just saw a clip of Rizzo on a different podcast where if you could play one more game, what would you do? And he said it'd be a Friday day game at Wrigley. There's nothing that beats it. So I think these guys who play for the Cubs know that is it a perfect situation? No. But do they have it better than almost all of their friends across the sport? Absolutely.
Then why does Kyle Tucker hate it so much here? Why?
Yeah, I don't care, but it's a good question. You know, listen, it's not for everybody. The wind plays a bigger factor at Wrigley than other places. Day games more at Wrigley than other places. So if you're a night guy, who knows? So, yeah, you know, it's not for everybody. And, again, like the Dodgers. You get more money and you win more. So it's not like he chose to go play for Tampa or the Rangers. He was like, I'm going to go to the Dodgers.
Not the Rangers catching a stray.
I don't know. I just picked a random team. It seems like it would be kind of miserable to be there.
What are the latest updates on Nico Hoerner's extension?
I don't know. I don't think it's hard to make the argument that the Dodgers is a pretty good place to go play baseball. Yeah, you're right.
First of all, they've got a roof on the ballpark now, so that's something.
It's not like he chose to play for the White Sox over the Cubs. Oh, no. He chose the Dodgers.
And then secondly, Kyle Tucker has had history of not being exactly forthcoming when it came to injuries. There was a big discussion about it in Houston when he was last there. A media market that's number three where we are rabid dogs and holding people accountable and we'll figure out whether or not you were truly injured. Maybe that might have also had something to do with it on his side. I'm not saying it did, but I could understand why that might be an aspect.
Hey, Danny, are you as tired of this stadium discussion as I am? I'm just curious.
Yeah, I don't want to talk about it. Okay, see? Okay. It's not a good radio topic.
I don't know about that because there's a lot of impassioned people who have a lot of things that they've been saying to us about it.
Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, but there's a lot of impassioned people who have a lot of things to say about the Cubs and the Bulls and the Bears and a number of things.
