Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
The score! This hour is brought to you by Menards. Save big money at Menards. That was a good one. The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously. Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey.
The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time. It's just sports. Okay, thanks, bye!
Bye! Bye! Bye!
Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score. A plastic surgeon added a new layer to the penis gate controversy at the 2026 Winter Olympics. And if you didn't know, there actually is one. Alessandro Latara, a surgeon who performs penis enlarging operations, told USA Today that he provided the surgery with hyaluronic acid to a ski jumper last month. Have a broken penis.
Don't pretend to know my pain. Now, the concept is the more you have there, somehow the more aerodynamic you are in these ski jumping events.
Okay, what do we think it should look like? Sleek. Good. High tech. Aerodynamic.
Too small. I'm sorry? Too small.
So when you get in there, you're like, if the steering wheel fly off, I'm toast. So we can really ask the question in this situation, does size matter?

Chapter 2: What are the implications of the penis gate controversy at the Olympics?
They're not that small. Size doesn't matter.
Yes, it does.
Our feet are huge. Not the size of the suit. It's the motion in the suit. Motion of the ocean. Motion of the motion. Grody! It ain't all about the size of the boat. It's the motion in the ocean. Do the Olympics need to end? Have we reached the end? That's it! Olympics are canceled. Everybody's going home. Let's go. You guys can't handle this. You started to take it places it didn't need to go.
Ugh, this is why I can't have nice things. Sausage, anyone?
Sausage.
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score. Oh, man. Well, when you put it that way, I think the Olympics end on their own. But after the ski jumping situations... augmentations, adjustments that have been going on. Maybe it's worth a reassessment. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. Marshall, you avoided that.
We did that segment without you. You know what? I'm kind of mad I missed it because I could have...
egged on grody even more and having saying things that he probably would have regretted saying at a later date having on ronda text in what are you talking about these are the things i imagine when i miss a segment such as that well we can always revisit it this is rahimi harrison grody on 104.3 the score and i have joked about this and i've not tried to egg it on because the situation builds upon itself
I feel like every NFL offseason, the NFL world falls in love with a player who might be available. And we know, given the crown, given the sash, the flowers, Max Crosby is that dude this offseason. And the best part is he's not even a free agent. We get to talk about him in a trade capability. That's what makes this so wild. There's always somebody. He is the player of this offseason.

Chapter 3: How do Max Crosby and Caleb Williams connect?
But he took two plays off. He took two plays off. I mean, I swear he took two plays off and it was like, it was insane. I mean, you, you don't, you don't see that in, in, in this sense of the game where the ends, especially, you know, God, I mean, they, they get out the game often. It's all the time. Yeah. Like, dude, you're a freak. Why you're the, you're the, Go chill. Take your break.
You should be wrecking the game. You're 6'6", and 280, and I see the ends throughout the league when watching games, and they're subbing out like... Yeah, in my mind it's like- I bet, let's go right where he just left.
Right at him.
Right at him, right where he just- We're taking a shot. Let's finally run the ball right. Yeah, let's run the ball right. Yeah. So it's, that's the special also, the stamina part of it, which I take great pride in myself. Hell yeah. I'll run and I'll scramble 50 yards, come back the next play, I'd do it again. Do it again. Yeah, whatever it takes kind of mindset.
This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. That was courtesy of the Max Crosby podcast. He and Kayla Williams on the Rush podcast talking about each other and then also the effects that they have on the game. That was as good of a scouting report on the Bears offense as I've heard. And there's something in there about Max Crosby that I think a lot of people should know.
It's his snaps per game and how many plays he does not take off. That is not as typical of other pass rushers that we know. I love how you say it. And I'm reading your mind right now. And why are you talking about Montez Sweat in that manner? But there's a flip side to that.
A lot of people think that because of Max Crosby playing all those snaps that he's going to have to curtail that a bit and limit it a little bit more in order to extend his career to the years that he may want to. I think eventually he will, but what was funny about that comment and what you just said is that Caleb says it's like taking LeBron James out of the game.
And that tells you what kind of impact... Caleb Williams believes Max Crosby has on the game, but also, hey, it's 2026. We got all kinds of new revelatory practices and procedures and the way we can keep people, not in ice, not literally on cryo, but... Not in a bubble. Not in a bubble. This isn't Han Solo in freaking The Empire Strikes Back. How dare you ruin it for people? Spoiler alert.
What I will tell you is... If Max Crosby is intent on keeping his style and his intensity the same and being on the field as much as possible and only taking off less than a handful of plays every game. Yeah, he's up in the upper 90s when it comes to percentage of snaps per game. What's great about that is if he plays for your team, you don't have to worry about what you're getting from him.

Chapter 4: What are the key takeaways from Caleb Williams' performance and future?
go against each other. And I thought that was very interesting because I think we all are taught, well, they're not on the field at the same time. But it doesn't mean the quarterbacks ain't measuring it up against each other. Didn't you even get that vibe with the Saints game and Spencer Rattler? Oh, completely got that vibe with that game.
And it may have cost the Bears a little bit in that game because it was like, I'm going to try to outshine you as opposed to just, you know, hand the ball off and run over the Saints. They're not a very good football team.
Yeah. That famous game where Caleb Williams was subbed in for Spencer Radler, that was also discussed on the podcast. It sure was. And there was a couple mentions in this interview that we could get to later on because we have our little priorities that we want to get to here. But there was a couple of mentions from Caleb where he said it's me versus me, and I thought that was interesting.
Because it's how it should be. And that ray right there is an example and an evolution of what it should be for a professional athlete. And that's hard because you're hardwired to compete. But it really should be about you trying to figure out what you need to work on at a given time. And that's a really good segue into listening to this comment because it really is a true follow-up.
to the Seth Wickersham book talking about his dad saying he didn't know how to watch film. There wasn't somebody out there to help him prepare himself to be an NFL player. Listen to this. I feel like it's where you come from, too, from a college standpoint, where you're actually taught.
Because if you're not taught certain things, and then now you're going... But even in college, it doesn't matter. I mean, I'm going to be honest. I don't think it matters... Whatever college it is, they're not teaching you what's being taught in the NFL or what you have to know in the NFL to be able to play and play well. So I think that's what my first year was.
It was like, obviously, I know how to play ball. I've played in some big games and things like that. And so some of that would come out, but then it's like, you know, the certain things throughout the game, like, you know, you don't need to go take this 16-yard out ball if it's challenging.
Like, just check it down to the flat guy or the guy over the ball and get four or five yards and keep us going. Yeah. It's a whole thing, so it's some learning curve for sure that comes with it. Especially with a skill set like you, bro, honestly, you trust yourself so much. That's really the biggest challenge for me. I know it doesn't matter how close that defender is.
I always feel that I can get the same thing for you. It doesn't matter how many chips you get, how many... whatever, you know, it's like, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna get back there. Or for me, I can get it over this guy or get it past this guy. Cause you know, all the, all the, all the that I've, I've worked on over the time. So, yeah.

Chapter 5: How does Tyson Bajent's ability to buy time impact the Bears' strategy?
I think Tyson Bajent is one of those guys who can buy you time. Case Keenan, by the way, did just as of yesterday turn 38 years old. I don't even know that that matters anymore, given I saw Joe Flacco out here in the Unk Bowl. Joe Flacco was doing it. Joe Flacco versus Aaron Rodgers. So I don't even know that that's a concern at this point in time.
Just flashback to Joe Flacco's appearance against the Bears last season. That's it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So 40 is not a concerning number for a lot of quarterbacks. When it's a problem for Case Keenum, I think he'll let us know. And in the meantime, if the Bears can get... a significant asset for Tyson Vagent, they should explore the possibility.
Secret pageant, man. Five on it. Number three. This is five on it on 104.3 The Score with Laila Rahimi and Marshall Harris. Here's question number three. The Cubs are hoping infielder Matt Shaw can be their super utility player, which would include time in the outfield. Here's what Shaw told reporters about his outfield experience, courtesy of Marquee Sports Network. Outfield's been a lot of fun.
So I have a lot of experience out there just from being a younger kid, playing a lot of outfield. So it's been fun for sure. I mean, I played a ton, like, just growing up. I had two other brothers, so I played outfield for them all the time. Played outfield, summer ball, my freshman year, and then, you know, I've played here and there in college a little bit, too.
Yeah, that's Matt Shaw talking about his quote-unquote outfield experience.

Chapter 6: What insights does Matt Shaw provide about his outfield experience?
On a scale of 1 to 10 on the confidence meter, where would you rate your level of belief in Shaw's defensive ability in the outfield after hearing those comments? Why are you saying it like that? Because the text that I sent you guys when I sent this clip to you was, this don't do much for my confidence right here. Now I have to give my answer as a one on a scale of one to ten.
After hearing that, I'm interested to hear, Layla and Marshall, what you have to say about it.
I'm going to lay it out very plainly. It's a 7.5 for me. He's an athlete. The position he's playing currently is harder than the position that they're asking him to play in the outfield. I think he can run. Obviously, he has a good glove. He has a strong arm. It may take a minute to recalibrate, but I like the idea that Matt Shaw can adjust and assimilate to the outfield.
Was I the only one who watched the film yesterday? Did you guys watch the film?
Oh, there's film? Okay, I did not do the film study.
I didn't do the film study, so maybe I'm wrong. He caught the ball. Okay. There were some interesting paths, but he caught the ball. He tried to just do the classic outfielder 101, keep your nose to the ball. And frankly, that's not always done in Major League Baseball. So that's going to... Best practices here will help you. But...
I think the bigger concern is your number one prospect last year. He clearly has an investment from the organization as far as importance and now time. And I just I again wonder, is this the best return on their investment? Is this the best way to get the best return on their investment? He's doing what he's been asked to do, which is a good thing.
But should your number one prospect from last year be a utility player? Like, I worry about it all as a whole more than I break it down by individual concern here. But then again, the Cubs are also the same team who decided to platoon their cleanup hitter. So I don't know that that was the best idea either. Wait. You saw the film...
Did it not look like a guy who was just starting out as far as he's doing the very fundamental things and then... Nose to the ball. We can believe that he will adjust accordingly as days and weeks go on?

Chapter 7: How do the Bears' expectations for their offense shape their future?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Okay, so... So you're watching the film. If we had to go back, remember the debate shortly after the trade, and you find out Cam Smith is going to break in... with the big league team, leave camp with the big league team and be the everyday right fielder for the Houston Astros. Yes. Camp Smith's natural position is not outfield. Yes.
How is this that different from that? I think, I think the difference was the Astros have enough of a, they had enough non-question marks elsewhere to where they had a plan for camp Smith. This is like, we had a plan for other people. This is where you're going to have to go. Yeah, but I think that is a plan for Matt Shaw.
And it's not like Matt Shaw is going to be playing every day in right field. It's just, can he play in right field? We're finding that out. I think he can play in the outfield. I think he's going to play. But you're right. Third base is a much more difficult position to play. I guess I have a... When Ray said one, that threw me.
Because I don't know what number I thought he was going to say, but I did not think it would be that low. I understand why there's questions. There should be questions. He hasn't done this before. Or he hasn't done it since college, according to him, right? But I think you have to say this guy is an athlete. He should be able to... Do the least.
You know, I was talking about doing too much or doing the most. He should be able to do the least out in right field. And we'll see together whether or not he can do it. But I have, I guess, a great deal more faith. What was your number, by the way? I said 7.5. Ray said 1. Oh, yeah. Let me see what I said. The confidence meter. Not that I feel like it necessarily matters.
His belief, defensive ability in the outfield, six. You'll get there eventually. I've seen some bad outfield. Eloy Jimenez comes to mind. Oh, no. Oh, no. Don't hurt yourself and don't hurt others.
Can I go negative on the confidence meter now that you've brought up the name Eloy?
Don't play left field like Eloy Jimenez. You're in right field, so that takes care of part of it on its own.
The Chicago bar is very low when you bring up Eloy. That's true.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of Ian Happ's comments on the MLB Players Association?
Oh, my.
Then 773, Eloy. I mean, like, am I that far removed from Eloy Jimenez? You're right.
You're right.
And Eloy wanted to play in left field. That was the most random part of it all. He didn't want to be just a DH.
Maybe he should have stuck to the plan.
I don't know why. I can't really question it. When he was hitting well, it was so good that I was like, okay, do these things have to go together for you to be like this? So that's why I bring it up in this nature.
You're right. In that classic case, Marshall, as you brought it up, Eloy, classic case of doing too much.
Kyle Schwarber got hurt in left field. I don't feel like this is doing too much. The goal should be do not hurt yourself, do not hurt others. Am I still talking about professional sports? Evidently. That can apply to other fields. Number four.
According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, NIU coach Thomas Hammock is being hired as the Seahawks' new running backs coach slash senior offensive assistant. He's expected to become the highest paid running backs coach in the league. Hammock chose Seattle over multiple NFL opportunities. What do you think of the move?
