Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
This hour is brought to you by Vasectomy Clinics of Chicago. Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
Fishy Business, how are you today?
Noted pickleball hater, Mark Harmon. Yes.
There was a bit of a moment with him at Rookie Minicam.
I've been hearing about this.
Go on. If you guys want to get into that. Oh, yes, we do.
That was going to be my next question.
I need the hot goss from Hellas Hall. Hey, mama, the goss.
So we're up in the viewing deck. We have to walk upstairs to go watch practice. It's a good view, if you can see, because there's a lot of people up there.

Chapter 2: What insights are shared about the Bears rookie minicamp?
What I saw was the aftermath, which was Carm turned, his face go pale. Oh, rookie mistake by Mark Carmen.
Wow, bad hands, bad hands, Carm. We can't count on you to catch past him now, can we?
Maybe he should be playing pickleball. That's all I have to say. It's time for him to realize where he is in life. Time to take a step down, Carmano.
Face Cam Jordan in pickleball. That's your punishment.
We have to follow the protocol. Those are the rules.
Okay.
New idea. We don't report her at all. We just punish her.
We punish her.
Tell her you can't have sex for six months. I don't think we could enforce that.

Chapter 3: How is the performance of the Bears' defense analyzed?
There was a lot of times where we had a really good rush. Okay. But we weren't quite as good over here on this side. And so it allowed the quarterback, you know, to step up into a lane. Um, and so, um, That's an area that we can improve on, and I think our guys, when they did it right, it was pretty impressive.
This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. That is Dennis Allen, the Bears defensive coordinator, talking about the Bears' lack of production defensively last season. he's right about the fact that the quarterback is going to find the open lane. There's no better example of that than Caleb Williams showing you how to do it every year or all year long last year.
When the left side was locked up, he'd roll out right and find somebody. But I think part of the problem with this is, is that if it's really scheme, That means usually one side of the ball is more strong than another. But when you have 27th in the run and 25th against the pass, that would indicate that it was both equally not up to snuff.
So that's why I'm also like, okay, a lot of this comes down to who you have on the field.
And we can't predict that the Bears are going to have an entire healthy team. That'd be dumb because nobody goes through a season with healthy players at every position. So you have to account for that. That's one of the reasons I've been begging them to add somebody just even as a depth piece. Even if you think Dio Dangbo and Shamar Turner are going to be ready to go from jump.
This text from 269, the Bears defense has 11 new free agents or rookie picks this year, not counting Dio and Shamar. Looking like five to seven new starters. That's a whole new defense. Not sure why folks think nothing has changed. That's not true.
Because your big money guys didn't. Your starting front four did not. And then you had to spend more money on depth pieces on your defensive line. And then you didn't draft anybody. And yet I'm wondering how Xavion Thomas and Khalif Raymond are going to coexist for time.
I'm good with the depth there at that position. That's just an example. Yeah, yeah. No, no. I think with this team... There are redundancies. If you take what they've done and you say, yes, they've added new guys, whether that's free agents or draft picks or undrafted free agents, the bottom line is this. Who's premium among them? Who is a high-impact player?
I see a lot of guys who are more role players, utility guys, specifically on that front four. And I'm just wondering, what is it that you think is going to change when you talk about coaching them up? You can only coach up talent so much. You have to have the raw tools, the raw power, the raw speed, the raw quickness to be able to make an impact up front. And that's where my concern is.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Bulls' fourth overall pick in the NBA Draft?
That was vintage Jacob deGrom. As somebody who likes pitching, it was fun to watch, except it was against the Cubs. So it was the fact that they were 0 for 13 with runners in scoring position that Edward Cabrera labored in his start to a point that may make you worried. And when the offense goes cold, it went real cold.
And to have back-to-back shutouts, probably the most disappointing, but it was Saturday's game as a whole.
I think the most disappointing thing about this is to see that the offense couldn't scratch things across. And I'm not saying that I'm disappointed they lost two games in a row. That's going to happen from time to time. But you've got to be able to come up with better results with runners in scoring position.
To go 0-17 over the course of two games, it's giving me flashbacks to our Vegas trip when we were like, will the Cubs ever push across a run with runners in scoring position? Remember how they were playing that week when we headed to Vegas?
When I wasted my pool time and I sat in the cabana at the pool yelling at the TV and shaking my fist.
Yeah, I look at the Cubs and... You've got to be better at creating something out of these opportunities. Now look, 0 for 13 and 0 for 4 in back-to-back games is bad, but it's just the number of opportunities. 17 different ones. I'm not as concerned about Edward Cabrera right now. It's one outing. Hopefully it's just kind of a dead arm period like I talked about where he can...
bounce back, get his arm right, get his mechanics, how they need to look to be good going forward because they need him. Edward Cabrera has to have good starts for the Cubs. He has to be able to keep the Cubs in games. And when I say keep the Cubs in games, I mean three runs or less when he starts.
We're wrapping him in bubble wrap.
Isn't everyone in bubble wrap if you throw for the Cubs right about now?

Chapter 5: What insights were shared about the Wizards' lottery strategy?
And I still feel like there's a lot of teams who could use his services.
I feel like there's a lot of teams who could absorb that cap room.
Why did you do all of this, Wizards, if you didn't want the first overall pick?
They wanted to have the option. Think about it like this. If they trade down to No. 2 or No. 3 because someone really wants to Bonsa, they get more No. 1 picks in the future.
Do you think they might get, say, an unprotected first-round pick that would be in, I don't know, next year's draft, for example?

Chapter 6: How does the new CBA affect NBA trades and strategies?
We don't even know if you're going to be able to trade for unprotected picks anymore after a certain date because of the NBA's draft lottery reform. Just remember that as well.
A lot of this reform has really made it less fun for us. CBA, aprons... Can't trade pick protections. Can't trade all these options. I need unfettered. Everybody wants to go everywhere. Luxury tax isn't that big of a deal again. That's what I need.
Chapter 7: What are the key observations from Bears rookie minicamp?
Exciting trade deadlines. Trades being shut down for basketball reasons. This new CBA is a buzzkill. And yeah, a third of your league is tanking. But when the transaction times come, I want action. A-C-T-I-O-N.
I would like Caleb Wilson if he falls to them at the fourth pick. And if it's Boozer, we're going to have to have a conversation about Keaton Wagler and some other people.
You love Keaton Wagler. Now, I don't blame you.
Chapter 8: How does Press Taylor's coaching style impact the Bears' offense?
I think Keaton Wagler made himself a lot of money in this NCAA tournament.
Man, people are on this on the text line, 260. What does Anthony Davis want exactly? Does he want to win a chip? Does he want to play? 3-1-2. Davis is only going to give you half a season. How does his trade value still stay so high? Because that half a season, if it's the back half of a season, he can help you win a championship in theory.
In theory. I mean, he's had some great stretches with the Lakers. He's a talented big. And when he's healthy, he's one of the best in the league. That's how. But I don't think it was his determination as to whether or not he went to Washington. I don't think it was his determination as to whether or not he went to Dallas since nobody saw that coming.
Number four. What was your biggest takeaway from the press conferences on day two of Bears rookie minicamp on Saturday?
Number one, nerd out with me for a second.
Okay.
Press Taylor. Grab his microphone. Two 10-terabyte hard drives as a flex. For those who speak in storage terms, like your girl who pays for a 256 gig iPhone because I want all the space in the world to be able to store as many receipts as I need because cloud storage is for suckers and real hard drive storage is where it's at.
And that is getting more expensive by the day because of AI and all the products that need to be used to store their data. That was... The real ones know... Tanny, like Tanny and I texted about it over the weekend. I was like, oh, Press Taylor says he has 210 terabyte hard drives. Impressive. Anytime you can get into computer gear talk, I'm interested.
To be clear, that's where offensive coordinator Press Taylor saves all his plays. And he said in his press conference, which we'll hear later in the show, when Clay Harbor joins us, that the Bears video guys hate to see him coming. Yeah. Because they know he's got his big hard drives. He's about to load it up. Yep. Let's go through some video, guys.
