Rahimi Harrison-Grody. 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score.
Hallmark Christmas movie channel movies have now become a spoof. Everybody knows the bit by now. Hallmark makes no bones about this. But the Hallmark channel has to find ways to grow. And it's finally happened. The release from the bears. The headline reads, the pick is in. Hallmark Media, NFL, and Skydance. Sports. Partner with the Chicago Bears for holiday touchdown, a Bears love story.
A holiday touchdown, a Bears love story coming this Christmas. The ones for fans and everybody who rides with us in Bear Nation. My wife Jessica and I will definitely be tuning in for this one.
That man has football on his mind.
I wonder what he was doing immediately before.
Maybe it's time he knows the real meaning of Christmas.
Did you get a good Christmas gift? No! It was Christmas.
Who gets the most FaceTime in this? Like, Colston Loveland already being a part of it is pretty great.
Yeah, like, no, seriously, who do you believe could be the best actor on this Bears team in a movie such as this?
Colson Loveling just seems to be down for the cause of stuff, doesn't he? Like, he seems fairly easygoing in these things.
No one calls you down for it.
What's up, baby?
Take me out to dinner. Hey, yo. I don't think anyone's mentioned this yet. I mean, George is going to appear in this thing, right?
George is Santa. George is Santa.
So George is like... Definitely going to be in this movie.
George isn't George Santa.
Papa Bear is smiling today.
We would be too fair with our plot, you know?
No, it needs to be a ridiculously cheesy plot.
I think it's Matt LaFleur versus Ben Johnson to find the true meaning of Christmas.
I don't know Ben Johnson. Do you have beef? Do I have beef? I don't know Ben Johnson. Who likes the package? Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.
I can't wait to write a seven-hour movie that just basically refers to a lot of football plots for the Hallmark Christmas movie that we're going to make about the Bears. It's going to be amazing. Welcome to Rahimi Harris and Brody on this Friday. It is a Brewers edition because the Cubs are in Milwaukee and Spiegel and Holmes are going to be at the Brat Stop later this afternoon, by the way. We are all getting ready for a very pivotal series. But the good news is, Marshall Harris, that... The Cubs did the thing they had to do. Get the money in the bank. You sweep the Mets for the season series. Thanks to that 10th inning win last night, where again, the Cubs show perseverance. You hit your way out of this.
And that makes me breathe a little easier going into Milwaukee to face the buzzsaw that is Jacob Mizorowski and company.
It was supposed to be a 22-game stretch. 22 straight games against teams with losing records. It ended up being 21 because one of those games got postponed. But the Cubs, they made it through. They have a winning record. Maybe not as impressive as a record as you would have hoped. But given all the injuries... to the pitching staff. And given where they are now compared to where they were when they started the month of June, you can understand why being seven games over .500 is doable. They're still in playoff position. They still have... A chance to catch the Brewers. And I say a chance. It's not a likely chance. It's not a favorable chance. But it is a chance. They're six and a half games out. And for them to finally, over the last three series, just do what you're supposed to do, which is beat bad teams, punctuate it with a four-game sweep over the Mets.
I have to say, if you're a Cubs fan, you've got to be okay with how this series in particular turned out.
Well, I'm okay with it because they did what they had to do. When they were asked to hit their way out of this, when they were asked to have more run support for their pitching staff, which is decimated. At this point, decimated truly is the best word. By injuries, they did that. They've hit enough to win these games.
