Chapter 1: What predictions were made for the Super Bowl 60 match-up?
This hour is brought to you by Jewel Osco. Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score. I say Seahawks, but they don't cover 24-17. Really low scoring, and I don't know why. So that is my prediction. Seahawks beating the Patriots. I did pick on Take the North, I did pick the New England Patriots to beat the Seattle Seahawks 24-20.
Yes, some of it has to do with the fact that Dave the Cat did, without hesitation, choose the New England Patriots. My East Coast family is not going to like this, but I am picking the Seahawks to win 27-24. Like Grody, I'm a cat guy. So I'm rolling with Dave the Cat, 23-20 Patriots. George Villani's the running back for us. Make to him, dialed to the end zone! Barter's got a touchdown! A.J.
Barter has the first touchdown of Super Bowl 60. There goes May on first and ten, heaving and long, throws, caught, touchdown! Fireside! Grabbed on that far side by Matt Collins. And over the shoulder catch at the pylon far side of the end zone. And the clock is ticking at 4.38. And they trail 22-7. Shotgun snap. 44 Seattle. He's hit as he drops back. The ball free. Picked up by Nozu.
Running down the side. 30, 20, 10, 5. Touchdown. In the hands of Trevion Henderson. Right against the sideline. Keeps rolling for 29. And that will do it. Seattle reigns above them all in the NFL. The Seahawks, Super Bowl champions for the second time. All my teammates, all my coaches I've ever had, always believing in me. I've always believed in myself because of my family and my friends.
So it's as simple as that. As long as you believe in yourself, anything's possible. Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3. The score... What's that you say, Sam Darnold? Anything is possible? Why, I feel like I've heard that before. Was it Kevin Garnett, the great philosopher? It was. Anything is possible. There it is.
The Seahawks are Super Bowl champions after that 29-13 win over the Patriots where I forgot that the point spread was four and a half, so I did pick the Seahawks to cover. I don't know that it was that exciting, but we watched it. We watched it together as a team, as a family, because it's what we do. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score.
We are happy to have you here with us on this Monday where I wonder if everybody went into work a little. little bit slower pace than they did you know the Monday before because this should be a holiday you know the day after the Super Bowl did you did you enjoy your Super Bowl party last night if you went to one did you eat something special did you get your commercials in
Did you watch your respective halftime show? Did you enjoy your life enough to watch the game? And for everybody who loves the Bears defense and old school football and the running game, that was a game for you last night because that was what was working. Let me tell you something, both of you. I'm just happy I got paid to watch that game.
I was at work last night, so I got paid to watch that game. Otherwise, I don't know that I would have watched it and consumed it in the same manner in which I did. I probably would have watched it after the fact, fast-forwarding through everything, because I knew it was going to be a bad game. I just didn't know how bad of a game it was going to be in terms of competitive.

Chapter 2: How did the Seahawks win Super Bowl 60?
At the half! At one point I texted Tanny and I go, oh no, the Patriots have the ball again. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You're texting somebody from another show while we're on the text thread? Will you care to share this? So you're texting with their show? I feel like this is a safe space. No, not the whole show. What's going on here? What did you and Tanny talk about? What is that all about?
I like that this is a safe space where she feels comfortable enough and secure enough, and she knows that Mark Grody is secure enough, that she could text other people about the game as well. Here's a way to really make it hit home. Tani and I will occasionally just get our own bits off. Oh, I love texting Tani. I text him all the time. You text Tani? I do. I do. Yes, I do.
Next thing you know, we're going to all say we text Lauren. He's next. He's next. But with... To really hit it home, Layla, to add to what you're saying, with 12.56 to go in the game, I jotted this one down, even at the gathering that I attended. Magic, the gathering. That's right. May makes that 20. It's 19-0 Seattle. Drake May finally makes a big pass. The pass to Matt Collins. He had shoes on.
Ahead of the Hollins TD. And it was great. That float, I mean, of all the bad passes, that was beautiful. Gets it to the Seattle 41. Again, 12.56 to go in the game. That would be the first time in the game, in the game, that the Patriots would take a snap inside the 43-yard line. Imagine that. Did that even happen in the NFL this year? In all of the games that were played?
Did it take a team until the fourth quarter to get within the 43-yard line of another team? You didn't watch a lot of Browns football, did you? Well, I admit I stayed away from Browns football. Do you have information? I'm sure I can look it up and find it. Even them, I would doubt it took until the fourth quarter to get to the 43-yard line of an opponent. All right, let's also do this.
Since we're here, since we're talking about how... how random this game ended up being when you consider how we've been watching modern football lately. I said this many times to myself, wrote it down, and talked about it during our group thread and in our pre-show meeting. Michael Dixon, the Seahawks punter. My God, that guy is good.
Every single time I was like, oh, they really need a good one here. And he delivered every time. I was like, oh, no, this actually could get the Patriots to closer field position. Like I was watching this like the most old school defensive coordinator ever. I don't know who would have been proud because I'm still not good enough for an old school defensive coordinator. But it's the idea.
You know, it's the idea. What about one Jason Myers? If we're talking about kicking, I would start with him, the MVP runner-up. Now, see, you say MVP runner-up. I'm not so sure about that. I'm honestly not so sure about that.
I thought it was an interesting game in that it became, at some point, probably around halftime when it was 9-0, it was like, okay, is this game more about who's going to win or more about how putrid is this offense from New England going to end up being when it's all said and done? So I was pleasantly surprised when Mack Hollins gets a couple of catches, including the touchdown.

Chapter 3: What were the key takeaways from the Super Bowl performance?
He kept it as close as he possibly could for as long as he possibly could. The defense gave the Patriots a chance to win. They were in it until the pick six at the very end from Ochena Nwosi. Well, also, look at that first drive, you know, to what you're talking about.
After we saw the 10-yard run to open the game after the kickoff, then you saw a 15-yard pass and then that pass to Cooper Cup where he just looked like nobody was going to take him down. The Seahawks moved the ball incredibly well. And then to get stopped enough to be able to have to kick the field goal. It was like the Bears' defense. I mean, but that's the point.
So there was a, but there's a defined strategy and I'll get into it in a second. But when it came to, at least on the Patriots side of the ball, being able to stop that from happening. Another part of this that's so compelling to me is, you
You know, for all of the jokes that we make about send it and fourth downs don't matter and everything is four down territory and even Sean Payton says, here I am watching the Bears game knowing they should have kicked the field goal instead of gone for it. What did we see happen in this game and what has been the Seahawks strategy the entire playoffs?
If they have a chance for points, they take them. Every single time. The reason we're having a joke and a laugh about people who actually touch the ball with their foot in football when it comes to Jason Myers, the kicker, and Michael Dixon, the punter, we're saying that because the Seahawks did not subscribe to that theory. And they're the Super Bowl champions today.
So you think Ben Johnson goes for it too much on fourth down? They should tighten it up a little bit? We were talking at the gathering I was at. People were joking. When it was fourth and seven on the first drive, there were jokes. Oh, well, Ben Johnson would go for it. Fourth and seven? That's what it was. But people were joking. Oh, Ben Johnson would totally go for it.
I think Dan Campbell, you can guarantee I don't know that it's his lock with Ben Johnson. It's getting close, man. It's getting close. I'm not saying this is an open indictment on Ben Johnson. I'm not saying, oh, look at this. This is how you should do it. It's hard not to think about Ben Johnson, though. But that's the point. I'm watching this going, should I learn from this strategy?
Because it was ultimately correct. But the reason it was ultimately correct was they had a remarkable good defense on the other side. You could trust your defense. That's the difference. When your best defense is your offense, like it is for, say, the Bears at times, especially after injuries... it's a different strategy altogether, but there's remained the same because their defense was so good.
Yeah. If Ben Johnson had the Seattle Seahawks defense, he would of course punt more or just kick the field goal. Cause guess what? He remember where we were going into the last game. We were like, how much do you trust the bears defense? Well,

Chapter 4: What insights were shared about the quarterbacks in the game?
No mingling if you didn't want to mingle. A little bit of mingling, but we were all very comfortable with each other that we didn't have to watch the game. Almost sounds like a dinner party. Okay, we'll call it that. Which has the word party in it, by the way. Ossobuco was the meal of choice. What? Tell me you've seen the Office Dinner Party episode.
Oh, wait, what was the food, though, that you said? Wasn't it Ossobuco at the Office Dinner Party? Maybe that's... See, I've got blind spots through the episodes because of the way I watch it. Just watch the series in order. No, he can't. He has to absorb it via cable. Chaos agent. Mark Grady. I am a nonlinear human. Yeah, everybody was bright.
Next year, the Super Bowl is on Valentine's Day, and a lot of people are going to have to make a choice. Or it's the best excuse ever. It's the best part about that is, the Monday, the day after the Super Bowl, is an actual holiday President's Day. I'm already predicting all sorts of pregnancies that will have occurred from Valentine's Day on the Super Bowl. Come on.
That ferocious of a holiday is coming together. The drinking, eating holiday. If this Super Bowl had happened, do you really think anybody got pregnant after watching that Super Bowl? Well, maybe because it was so boring that it's like, hey, you want to go hang out? Mark makes a good point. Mark makes a good point. Boredom brings that kind of thing on.
People legit got married at the Super Bowl, but that's for a halftime. We're going to talk about halftime at halftime. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. We thank you for joining us today. You can text and call us, and we've had some funny lines already. 312-644-6767 is our number. You can also join us on Twitch, twitch.tv slash thescorechicago.
That is our YouTube address as well, thescorechicago.com. There, we broadcast live from our Scores Hyundai studios, brought to you by your local Hyundai dealers. Our producers are Ray Diaz, Tyler Buterbaugh with a tremendous open. Brandon Fryer helps us out as well. And our video team is Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, and Max Curtis. Coming up next, I want to get into some of the details where...
People we know from former drafts really made a difference in this, like people the Bears had their eyes on, and then also just some of the strategy that we talked about as well. So more Super Bowl talk and appreciation for some defense and running game next. Rahimi Harrison-Groovy, Midday's Tittle 2, on Chicago Sports Radio 1243. Negative 10. Right again, Walker to bounce to the outside.
There he goes. Walker down the sideline. And it's Walker into Patriots territory. Might be out of bounds farther back around the 46-yard line. What a strong run by Walker for the first half. 30 on the game. We had a chance to watch Kenneth Walker in practice the other day. And so many times, he's casual with the ball at first, and then he makes one of those jump cuts and takes off.
I don't think I've seen a guy in practice faster than he is. That is courtesy of NBC. That is Mike Tirico and Chris Collinsworth on the call. This is Rahimi Harrison Brody as we continue to recap Super Bowl 60 and discuss some of the finer points. And Nick Costos was funny. Yeah, he's going to say the game stunk. And I get it. It wasn't.

Chapter 5: What update is shared about Max Crosby's future with the Raiders?
We still love offense. Number two. Question number two goes out to all the Maxinistas out there listening to 104.3 The Score right now. We have a Max Crosby update from Jason LaConfora of SportsBoom.com. Sports, sports, boom. Boom. LaConfora shared the following quote from an unnamed general manager. Crosby, quote, told Tom Brady he will never play for the Raiders again. That's a fact.
He told them he'll retire before he ever plays for them again, but I'm not sure they're actually going to trade him. Miles Garrett said the same thing last year, and we know how that ended up, unquote. That, again, an unnamed general manager to Jason La Confora on sportsboom.com. So here's the question.
On a scale of 1 to 10 on the HeGone meeting, where would you rate the likelihood that Max Crosby will be on a different NFL team next season? seven. I don't think it's at an eight. I don't think it's at a nine.
I don't think it's at a 10 because right now it's an quote, unnamed general manager, end quote, who heard this and shared with Jason Lock and Bora on, on what outlet again, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports, I like that, Ray. And I'm not Jason Lockenfora season reporter. That's not.
But until we have some more sources on this, and frankly, like some sort of definitive something, like Trey Hendrickson got in his car and drove away, for goodness sake. You know, there are other ways of showing protest. So until that happens, especially when the Seahawks, you know, that's part of this, by the way, is Clint Kubiak told Stacey Dales he's going to Vegas.
So not Disneyland straight to Vegas. And like, people are like, oh, did he really Stacy? Then where's the video? Well, NFL network posted the video dorks. So he's probably thinking to himself, oh, you know who I'd like to build my team around a guy like him.

Chapter 6: How does the Seahawks' performance impact future Bears matchups?
Were people really questioning whether or not Stacey... Oh, it was so stupid. It was just a cacophony of stupid last night when it came to some of the replies. Being on social media last night was a chore, which is why all I posted was point of order on Jon Bon Jovi announcing the Patriots. And then after that, I was like, I'm going to be in my notebook. Took a break.
Took a break from the old socials. Oh, I was in a box score. I was in play-by-play, and I was writing stuff down. I like a good box score. You can get lost in a box score. Remember when box scores were in the paper in the morning? And a halftime score. You know I love a good halftime score. I was like, wait, the Patriots have 18 net yards of passing at the half? It's like last year's Bears.
The Bears of last year, the halftime stats were hilarious. Atrocious. See at Detroit. Sometime just take a look. If you're listening right now, go take a look at the first half. of the bears game against the Detroit right now, unless you can multitask and listen. Exactly. People are sitting there with their phone right now, listening to us. Oh yeah. They're not really listening either.
So we're going to give you some homework. Your homework is look up a random box score from last year and giggle at the results. But yeah, I just, I don't know. I think that if, if we've seen anything, miles Garrett is a good example. Trey Hendrickson is another, you know, unfortunately when you're good, you require a high price contract and there's not a lot of teams who can, who can do that.
Chapter 7: What are the main takeaways from the Super Bowl commercials?
8.5 that's the number i'm putting out there for the he gone media here's why because i don't think this is just about them being bad i think he was really really upset perturbed at the fact that he said he was healthy enough to play and they put him on ir anyway at the end of last season i think he strikes me as a guy who has a degree of principle which is going to have him fill in some type of way and that hasn't worn off and this is with a new front office in charge it'd be
different if like front office was changing this offseason maybe he's like all right I'll hear you out here what you have to say but he probably feels like he already knows what it is because this is the group that said yeah Gino Smith and Pete Carroll gonna fix all our problems and Pete Carroll lasted how many years as the Raiders head coach oh that's right one so if I'm Max Crosby I've done my hard time
In silver and black. It's time to get out. And I get what you're saying, Layla, specifically about the Trey Hendrickson driving away. Because even after he, quote unquote, drove away, where did he end up? Right back in a Bengals uniform. I mean, Florida and then ultimately back playing for Cincinnati. Exactly. But I think that there's enough motion here to get something done.
That would also make sense for the Las Vegas Raiders. Because unless they're bringing in a quarterback... that I don't know about, the rebuilding process is long. Well, and that's just it. For me, I'm going to put it at an eight that he gone because it's kind of last call for him. He's 28 years old. He's still at the peak of his powers.
That window is going to last three to four to five years, whatever it is. And I know that it would take two sides to make this happen, obviously. But unless the Raiders tell Max Crosby, hey – Don't worry. We're going to build this thing up. We're going to build this thing fast. We're going to be winning before you know it, unless they can convince him of that.
I think even the Raiders would be like, yeah, we'd probably be better off trading this guy and getting the assets and do a rolling rebuild right now. So I put it at eight. Max Crosby is gone. I am not saying that he'll end up with the Bears, though. Number three. This is Fine About It on 104.3 The Score with Laila Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody.

Chapter 8: How does the discussion shift to accountability in Hall of Fame voting?
Here's question number three. The Super Bowl champions Seahawks are on the Bears' 2026 schedule. Should Chicago open the season in Seattle? Why the heck not? The only other team I see supplanting the Bears would be the Rams because those matchups have been epic. They also had to meet three times in the season.
You heard the Seahawks after the Super Bowl talk about how the Rams' loss to them was a catalyst, so much so that they won 10 straight games. The end. And one of them was an absolute classic, the overtime game. And then that was the second regular season meeting. And then the playoff game was pretty dang good, too.
So when I consider that, if I'm NFL marketing, if I'm NFL marketing, I'm straight petty. And I'm starting with Rams at Seattle, Packers at Bears. Here's what's interesting about this. The idea that the Seahawks could open the schedule against the Patriots has not escaped me. I feel like that could be a great opening night game as well. But I think they should start with the Bears.
I think Bears fans should be clamoring for this. First of all, get that game out the way. What better way that when they're feeling the emotion of having a banner hung at their stadium, maybe the 12s will be not quite as into it. Okay, that's a lie. The trolls are definitely going to be into it. But maybe the emotion overcomes the Seattle Seahawks. Also, maybe Zach Charbonnet is back.
I guess he wouldn't be back by then, huh? Move, Bears. Get out the way. Yeah, Kenneth Walker III. You want less of him, more of Charbonnet. That's just my personal opinion. They're both good. Yeah, but Walker to me is the more dangerous running back. Look. If you're the Bears, just get it out the way. Plus, it's a measuring stick game. Out the gate.
You'll know very quickly what do you need to work on to be as good as the reigning Super Bowl champions. And the team, I feel like, has a pretty good chance of getting back to the Super Bowl next year. Aw, crud. I forgot about Australia. Rams and Niners open in Australia. I'm sorry. I forgot about the Australian aspect of this. It's always the Australians, I tell you.
I just wasn't considering that. I think that with this question about... Tori, what? Should the Bears open up in Seattle? It is, to me, even though we're asking the question, it is, guys, it is the beginning. It is beginning. The massive expectations that the Chicago Bears are going to have. Are you guys ready for this? Is that a little heavy for you?
People are going to be, maybe, and I'm working through it right now. I'm working through it right this second. There are going to be predictions for Caleb Williams to win MVP. Yeah, for the 4,000 yards. You could say it out loud, Marshall, like all of that stuff, for the Bears to win the division, like everything.
So that is just the beginning of what I want us to all be prepared for, and that is lofty expectations for your Chicago Bears. Thank you for giving us the runway. To prepare. That's a pretty lengthy runway. I'm ready to be part of it, too, because why wouldn't we look at what the Bears did last year and say, oh, if they can make that even better, we're going to have more pro bowlers.
