Chapter 1: What are the initial reflections on Terry Boers' legacy?
This hour is brought to you by Menards.
Save big money at Menards. And you sort of stood up before the media and said, well, you know, this is the way it is.
Are you resigned to this fate? Well, you're the same guy that wrote about me when I did have the fire, that that was the wrong thing to do. So who are you crapping? Well, I'm just asking. Don't crap me.
No, no, no, no. I had an injury last year during the season that kind of shut me back.
But it didn't bother you, say, before last year's training camp began, because that was the rumor that you knew you were hurting and that you came and tried anyway. So it was all accumulated during last season. I believe we had a bad connection. Did they still crack door-to-door? Yeah, but Crawford is a texter. Just like Les is calling, you're giving traffic orders. Oh, a texter said that?
You know why? Because Les cares about mankind. In the afternoon when I would drive back to the city, Bors and Bernstein, right? That was the show. So I got my fill of that, and they made my hour-long drives memorable. Memorable, right? Yes. Well, we've banned a little bit of the creamy. It's creamy.
You're flying boars, and everybody gets peanuts, and if you have an allergy and die, we just destroy you off the plane. Screw you. Stop flying. Your comfort is not more important than the other 140 people on the plane. Now we're talking. Lizard bastard, get off the plane, then. Go somewhere else.
So my favorite thing that's happened in the three hours that we've been here is watching Terry and Layla talk.
Like just seeing the two of you interact because you're the two people that have done the most with the least.

Chapter 2: How did Terry Boers influence the world of sports media?
And he goes, it should be. We're celebrating, Terry. And we're booking guests and former co-workers. And Tani, I called Tani. Like, I'm like... Everybody's hurting, right? Everybody had a special relationship with Terry. It's emotional, but it also feels good putting this together. And again, I've been in touch with the family every step of the way, and they feel good about this.
Terry did not want a funeral. Those were his wishes. But something like this, they said he would love this. So when you ask that, everybody's mourning. Everybody mourns in different ways. We know that. But to put together, I think, tomorrow what people are going to enjoy between noon and 7 p.m., you're going to hear voices you haven't heard in years. You're going to hear current voices.
You're going to hear unbelievable production of former elements from the shows in the past that Tani and Russ are working on. We're excited. But again, it was kind of weird when I called Speaks. And he goes, no, we should enjoy this. And I think we should enjoy it. That's what a celebration of life is, right?
Yes, it is. And I think honoring Terry's wishes is the best thing that we can do. So tomorrow from 12 to 7 p.m. right here on The Score, we will have a remembrance of Terry Boers. Honoring an original Terry Boers celebration of life. And as you mentioned, yes, a lot of former co-hosts will be a part of this. Please listen to what I am trying to say. But I think that that's the important thing.
Terry was celebrated by everyone. And I laugh because the conversation that Lawrence was talking about in Tyler Buterbaugh's wonderfully prepared open was Terry and I talking about his audio that Wex had set up for him.
The little guys.
Yeah, Wex had set up his home audio in Florida, and he was super excited about it. But that's it. You know, he's inviting. It wasn't just an act. Like, Wex is the one setting up his audio. He has states away. Like, he was dedicated to that. And that was how he became a part of this.
And if you haven't gotten to read some of the stories yet that Matt Spiegel has written and that Chris Tannehill has written about, They talk about the 30th anniversary celebration, for example. When I first started with Dan, Terry was kind enough to come on a few times. I know, Marshall, you've been a part of when Terry's been on, and it's been fantastic.
And part of what made the 30th anniversary party so fun was just listening. Mm-hmm. You know, that was a reunion of Terry and Dan, and Matt Abadacola came in, and Chris Tannehill was just standing there listening. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. I want to get to listen to this, now knowing what I know. And Tannehill got to be a part of it. He details that in his column.

Chapter 3: What personal stories highlight Terry Boers' character?
We will take your calls in the next segment. And if you want to share your stories. And he has made the announcement that tomorrow from 12 to 7, Here on The Score, we are going to have a celebration of Terry Boer's life.
What inspired you guys when it was you and Chris Tannehill and Matt Spiegel, who will be hosting that show, and Russ Matera, when you wanted to put it all together, what meant a lot to you about how you guys did this?
Obviously, respect, but have fun with it. Bring on the right hosts that were impactful in Terry's career and life, and we'll have family members on at the end of the show. But play back some great audio, some great fun memories. Have caller-listener interaction. and bring that all together, a true celebration of somebody that's so special to our audience and to people in the country.
So we've been working the phones. I love old-school producing, Tanny, Speaks, and I, and putting this together. So those are the elements that we're doing. And again, great involvement from Terry's family, and it's just going to be special. And putting that all together, we think the listeners and subscribers All of our SCORE family will really enjoy it.
I reached out to Julie Swyka today, who worked here early on, and such a sweet person. And without even saying, can you, she said, yes. People are excited to be part of this, and I think it'll be great. If you haven't had a chance to properly get what you feel like you need, you do need to go to 670thscore.com and read what was penned by both Matt Spiegel and Chris Tannehill, both writers.
Beautiful, really, I don't know if I'd call it a eulogy, but just an honorarium of what he meant to each of them individually. And you get a real sense of the effects that you don't see necessarily on the air. But as you mentioned, Mitch, it's the behind the scenes and off the air that carries just as much and really even more weight. Yeah, and here's one other quick note.
There are a lot of people maybe that didn't listen or didn't know him. There's people at our cluster of stations here, even in sales. People come from other markets. And I sent a note out today with Tanny's audio montage from the anniversary and some of the articles. And I've received a lot of email, I wish I would have known him or I wish I was here to listen to him.
And I think, you know, when you leave a funeral and you didn't know the person who passed away, but there was a good eulogy given or... you know, in the Catholic Church, a good homily or a rabbi, and you walk away and go, man, I really got to know that person without knowing that person, I think that's really key.
And obviously so many people knew Terry, but if you listen tomorrow and you never listen to Terry on the air and you walk away going, God, that was great, I think that's our goal tomorrow.

Chapter 4: What is planned to honor Terry Boers' contributions?
We like it when you talk.
Yeah, we appreciate you sharing it. Shut up. Shutting up for me is good.
No, you said it well. That's why we took your call first. You know, we appreciate you. You know that.
And I think he appreciated the people who listened to the score. He says it, and he said it to us at that ceremony, but he really did, really did like the fact that folks listened. And again, when I see you guys, I will tell you some of these wonderful stories, like the Bennigan story that I cannot tell on the air, but one of the all-time absolute greats, man.
No, you're correct. And I think Lawrence put it really well on Friday when he simply said he was everything to us and you, the listener, were everything to him. And that was a well put way of saying it. And Mario, I think you did the same. Thank you for calling today.
Thanks, Mario. Thanks.
That's Mario in Hyde Park. We continue on the phones, 312-644-6767. And thanks to everybody who's chimed in, as I mentioned, in our Twitch chat and also over text. We've got a lot of text as well, so I'll try to read some of them when I can. We continue now with Ron on the south side. Ron, you're on Rahimi Harrison-Grody.
Good morning. Well, I've been with the station from day one. Last year, I was at a bit. with Molly and Hall and Mitch Rose. Mitch came up and said, Ryan, you know you're in the school hall thing. So I just want to point that out, how the people have been so nice to the call. So let me get to Terry Boas. I had a wonderful relationship with him. Mitch talked about the remote. So when I was
I don't know who that is, Jerry, but that's what he would say all the time. But you know, guys, the thing about it, if you were able to be in his presence, certainly he was the best behind the mic. There's nobody, I'm not talking about sports radio, there's no one on the radio that had a whip like his. Just, just brilliant.

Chapter 5: What emotional tributes are shared about Terry Boers?
And even there, you can tell, he was more humble than he should have ever been.
And just, again, this has been such an emotional time for all of us here at the score. And you hear it even in him announcing his retirement because just getting through that, you could tell how much this meant to him. You heard about his goal of 25 years. And now with his passing, Terry Boers, I mean...
Just the outpouring that we've received since we've been on the air today for less than two hours.
Chapter 6: What classic audio is requested in honor of Terry Boers?
And in true score fashion, I don't think we, I don't think it should all be us being sad. We've had some requests for some classic audio. We had to narrow it down because we didn't have a lot of time in our halftime segment. So without further ado.
From the Chicago Wolves Update Studio, I'm Chris Ronji. In regard to the Bears' offensive line, something has to change, and coordinator Mike Tice knows that, but says that changing personnel really is not an option.
We have other guys on the roster, other guy on the roster. It's not like at this point of the season you could take a James Brown, who I'm very high on, of course I'm very high on all the players, because it works so well, and say, okay, you're the guy now. Yeah, you...
You can hear Dan and Terry in the background laughing. Nice work out of Jason Goff on the ones and twos there.
Timing's everything, right?
Oh, that's a legendary one. There's a lot of classic audio that will be played. I know we had a request for Mike in Milwaukee, but unfortunately the only cut that we found was eight minutes long, so we can't do that right now. And a good two and a half minutes was Mike trying to orient himself to time and space, I'm pretty sure. There will be a celebration of a lot of the fun times as well.
That is coming up, if you missed the news, 12 to 7 tomorrow. That's right, 12 to 7. Honoring an original Terry Boer celebration of life, which will include former co-workers as well as current and former SCORE personalities. The show will be hosted by Matt Spiegel. It is a true celebration of Terry's life. That's tomorrow starting at noon on the SCORE and the Odyssey app.
Our Five On It segment on Rahimi Harrison-Grody is next.

Chapter 7: What are the key takeaways from the Rams' recent performances?
Maybe. Anything can be a play if you can conceptualize it and then draw it up.
Ben.
In the dirt.
Mike McDaniel. Or on a board. Sean McVay. Billy Bob.
What do we learn about the Rams after they lost to the Seahawks but beat the Bears? We learn that they're better than the Bears and that the Seahawks are better than the Rams. I mean... How dare you? Yeah, no, it's true. The NFC West was the best division in football this year. And the only teams that have beaten NFC West teams at last check... Were other NFC West teams. That's correct, right?
There were three teams in, and the Seahawks beat both the other NFC West teams, the Niners, and then now the Rams.
Oh, it's you all again. Yes, they did. Handily against the 49ers, but then a challenge against the Rams.
Yeah, and this is about what I expect. Like, the ballers came to ball. Both quarterbacks throwing over 300 yards. You had both leading receivers looking like number one receivers in Puka Nakua and, of course, Jackson Smith and... And Jigba. And Jigba.
JSN. JSN. JSN and Jigba.

Chapter 8: What insights are shared about the Bears' upcoming strategies and needs?
The Jackson Smith and Jigba network? You ever think about that?
I hadn't until... You said JSN.
Also, how is he getting so open on some of those plays?
He was wide open on some of those catches.
Objective number one, if you're a defense, is probably to try to contain him.
The biggest playmaker. That's him. You might want to know where he is at all times.
And then you're still at times going, wait, how did he get that separation on this guy? And we respect the Rams secondary. They were starting to adjust mid-game and late in game to some of the tendencies they were seeing out of the Rams defense, or out of the Seahawks offense, rather, just like they did against the Bears offense. That's one of the big takeaways I had.
Yeah, and I just, the Rams are better than, like I said, better than the Bears. They're as good as... The Seahawks, 49ers, all three of those teams are really good. And when they're healthy, they're all really, really good. I expect the Seahawks to make short work of the New England Patriots. So I just, what I learned about the Rams is that they're better than the Bears. Good luck to y'all.
Number two. What was the most compelling aspect of the AFC title game?
