Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
This hour is brought to you by Menards. Save big money at Menards. Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
Christian McCaffery, an exciting white, was on the Bussin' with the Boys podcast.
When these injuries happen, how frustrating is it for you? Because when they were kind of piling up and popping up last year, it's almost like universally, like, okay, he's getting a little bit older, white running back. What's that got to do with age? You know what it has to do with. Come on. You're not supposed to be here, man. Endangered species never know they're endangered, man.
Snow Leopard. What were you asking? Christian knows how I was feeling last year. My other whiteness is catching up to him. He just said running back. When he put white running back in it, that put a little stank on it. Hit me again, Ike, and put some stank on it.
I will never not think of Christian McCaffrey as the Snow Leopard.
That's a great nickname.
That is great.
Is that his nickname or did he just come up with that on the fly? Snow leopards are one of the world's most... Endangered species. Never know they're endangered, man. Nickname. CMAC or RunCMC. They live in the world's highest ranges and are one of the least understood felines. I think that's what I'm going to be calling him from now on. That man is rare and fast.
At least we're not saying he's a good route runner or he's sneaky fast. All the coded language there that one typically says.

Chapter 2: How does Christian McCaffrey's injury impact perceptions of aging players?
Someone from Alabama. A grinder. That's one.
Heady player.
He's a very heady player.
Okay, okay.
Yes, thank you. The name is White. Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.
Well, actually, it's Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Brody, and Ryan Porth narrowly escaping the clutches of the studio. Wave to the cameras, Ryan. You had to clean up that mess anyway.
It's my fault.
I made a mess. Marshall Harris brought in, I think, about 98 ounces of sweet tea from Panera and picked his cup up by the lid, and that's when we decided to destroy the studio with an onslaught of a Pacific Ocean worth of tea.
Listen, listen. I didn't pick the cup up. I just simply tipped it and it fell over and I didn't know the lid could just pop off that quickly.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Kyle Tucker contract on MLB?
You know, every day at a ballpark, you don't have that luxury.
Is this a warning salvo from owners in that they're showing you how dug in they're going to be because they understand they're dealing with the most powerful union, arguably, in the world? In that... Yes, we know you guys will hold out because that's what you've done every time we've done this as far as coming to the table and negotiations, especially with something as serious as a salary cap.
What this signals to me, understanding that teams are going to get $75 million a year per reports. is that they're willing to sacrifice the season to get the end result of salary cap. That is the thing.
Those who have resources are always willing to do what's best for those who have resources because they have the resources to withstand any sort of setback.
How resourceful of them.
But that's it. It's such a self-feeding beast. 847 texts us. How are the Dodgers going to pay all the deferred money when their next TV contract will be tiny compared to their current one? I don't know, my friend, because the Dodgers contract is 25 years and $8.35 billion. That thing runs out in 2038.
So do you think anybody's thinking about that except for maybe Kyle Tucker and his deferred money, which runs through how long again?
But also, if you read the story about how Shohei Otani has already brought them back all the money they spent on Shohei Otani, it makes all the sense in the world.
And that's it. The Dodgers say it's good business for them to do this. I always say when you can create a budget, when you've got the opportunity, I always like to say if billion-dollar businesses can have budgets, then so can I. But they wouldn't do this unless it wasn't good money for them. So keep that in mind. They're not a charity organization either.

Chapter 4: How does the MLB lockout affect the upcoming season?
So that's 100 grains. And then the billionaire... It's like a freaking bucket.
Yeah. And that's the part that I think it's hard for us. And they're so visible. You know, they're the people you see. Like, I don't know about you guys, but in economics class for me in high school, every comparison was Bill Gates. It's like, well, does Bill Gates do this? Now it would obviously be Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk. You're like, well, what about these guys?
Because you want something to compare it to. You want to understand a frame of reference here. And you think that that's success. And that's the hardest part is trying to figure out that the two are so remarkably different. And keep this in mind. This is something that Evan Relic had in his story. Major League teams were worth $2.6 billion on average entering last season per Forbes.
So even when you think your team ain't worth that much. This says otherwise. And don't forget, even people who thought the Bears weren't as much as what they may have perceived. And then we find out because of the shares and that changing of hands that the Bears are valued at roughly a little under $9 billion. Is that a lot of money?
And listen, they're not the best example as far as cash flow because they are asset rich. But they're still somehow rich, right?
It's a different level of rich. It's between rich and wealthy. Also, this text from 312. Millionaires and billionaires negotiating. Who cares? Cancel a whole season. No skin off my nose. Maybe not yours, but other people...
I mean, we just told you about somebody who works at Comiskey. Do they not deserve to have their jobs? And the point is, there's a lot. The difference between a billionaire and a millionaire is a lot. You could be a billionaire, but you can't be a billion with a B. That's the difference. And if there is a billionaire listening to our show, I would like to know why.
Your time is worth a lot of money. And why are you listening to us? Can you give me another hand for Tim Anderson?
312 says, and this is a great illustration, seconds. 1,000 seconds equals 17 minutes. A million seconds equals 12 days. A billion seconds equals 32 years.

Chapter 5: What are the latest updates on Damian Lillard's recovery and potential return to basketball?
No.
He had a surgery on May 2nd. That was nine months ago.
Is he going to play basketball this year?
Probably. Well, I don't know. Yeah, because the season ends. Okay. Well, I'm not as mad about it as you are because that's what Damian Lillard does and shoots threes.
Chapter 6: How does Lindsey Vonn's injury relate to athletes challenging their physical limits?
The other piece of this is like, if there's one thing I've learned about February 2026, it's a lot of people trying to fight science. Not just the obvious in your life and in non-sports. Let's just go with sports. Lindsey Vonn. Lindsey Vonn's like, I have a torn ACL, but I'm going to try downhill skiing in the Olympics anyway. Fighting science. We were all intrigued.
We were all hanging on every move and practice run that happened. And unfortunately, it didn't end well for her. So Damian Lillard's out here trying to fight the concept of an Achilles messing with you. Nine months afterward, I think you can do light contact. You just can't do NBA stuff.
Yeah, I've ruptured my Achilles, and I had that surgery, and I'm certainly no world-class athlete, and I don't have the trainers and all that that Damian Lillard has. But I think there's some concern about him being fully engaged, going around the arc, and lifting up and exploding off the ground. What is it, six balls each rack? Five each rack.
Five each rack, so 25 times he's got to explode up off the ground like that. I'm concerned about him as much as anything. But also, the NBA, just knock it off. Do away with the All-Star Weekend or whatever. Just make it a few parties and some awards or whatever it's going to be because it's absolute foolishness. The players don't play.
I'm a little intrigued by what KD said, and maybe that sparks some competition this week.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the NBA All-Star Weekend and the players involved?
But bringing back a player who hasn't played, it's pure, pure foolishness. It really is. Can I tell y'all something? The contestants here are Conker Nipple, Lillard, Jamal Murray, Donovan Mitchell, Devin Booker, Tyrese Maxey, Norman Powell, Bobby Portis Jr. As of right now, as I'm looking at this payouts to win, he's second behind Knipple in the odds on. Yeah, no. I can't believe that.
Oh, because it's Damian Lillard.
Jamal Murray's shopliver? Donovan Mitchell's shopliver? Devin Booker's shopliver?
No, but I think it's just because they know him to be so good at this. And you're right, I didn't think about the act of actually jumping. But it's still nine months after the Achilles.
I'm sure he'll be fine, but it's a little concerning to me. Me too.
Bye!
Number five. Bobby Portis, isn't it? Bobby Portis Jr. I think Bobby Portis leads the NBA in three-point percentage. I didn't realize.

Chapter 8: What insights did Herb Howard share about the Super Bowl and Bears gossip?
That sounds about right. He's on my fantasy team. That sounds right.
You have fewer bulls on your fantasy team.
Now I do because they all got traded. That too. Five on it on 104.3. The score here is question number five.
Do you have any interest in this year's Mack McClungless NBA slam dunk contest?
Okay, yeah, because it's the slam dunk contest, and I care about the slam dunk contest still. I'm sorry. I don't know what to tell you. I still watch. I just still watch this stuff. Maybe it's not with the same intent, but I'm still curious. The contest has Carter Bryant, Jackson Hayes, Kashawn Johnson, and Jesse Richardson. I like Jackson Hayes' chances. Is that wrong?
I think he's a good in-game dunker. Unfortunately, we saw it against the Bulls as well. That guy can rip some explosive dunks, so I care, even though Mac McClung is not in it.
Let me tell you why Jackson Hayes is not going to win the slam dunk contest. He's seven feet tall. Whatever he does is not going to look very impressive.
Have you seen him dunk in a game? Yes.
Guess what? It's in a game. People like seeing people get dunked on in a game. You're not dunking on anyone in the slam dunk contest.
