What breaking news about the Bears' quarterback situation is announced?
This hour is being brought to you by Vasectomy Clinics of
Chicago.
breaking news here quarterback Tyson Bajan is dealing with a concussion and is in the NFL's concussion protocol sources say with Caleb Williams likely out with a hamstring injury Case Keenum could be the starter against the Philadelphia Eagles wow are you here to kick me while I'm down No, I can wait until you're feeling better. It's not inconceivable that he could play, but boy, it would be very unlikely at this point if Tyson Bajan would play. Case Keenum could be starting for the Bears on Sunday.
Wow. I got two words for you.
All
right. Air raid, baby.
Air raid!
I'm not kidding. Get that U of H offense up and running. Let's go.
Ben
Johnson, let it rip. I want five wide.
I'm fairly comfortable seeing what Case Keenum can do in a game at this point. I mean, this is not a quarterback who's going to go out there and embarrass himself. And when we've seen him play in the preseason the last two years, he's been pretty good. And we know all the experience that he's had as an NFL quarterback.
I saw a 44-year-old grandfather win a game last year in the NFL.
Phillip
Rivers. He's 44. He last played in the NFL in 2020. He is a grandfather. I
need everybody out in the pass pattern. I mean, I just, I want everybody, like if you've ever caught a pass in the NFL, I want you all in the line of scrimmage in a horribly illegal formation and the pass pattern.
And if
I had to describe the University of Houston Air Raid offense, that would be a good way to.
I'd rather... I respect the college reference, Layla, but I would rather... What was that one game? Was it a playoff game? You know I'm talking about Butte. You know the
game. The Minneapolis Miracle? The Minneapolis
Miracle! That's it. That needs to be our reference point because that was like the last gargantuan game that Case Keenum had had.
Damn. Steps into it. Pass is caught. Diggs. Sideline. Touchdown. Unbelievable. We're running this
back. We're running this back. Leila Rahimi. Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.
That Minneapolis miracle in the year 2018, 61 yards to Stephon Diggs. That was 2018. The last time Case Keenum played in an actual game was 2023. We will certainly have time, plenty of time on Rahimi and Grody today to talk about the Bears, including a Herb Howard hit with us from Hallis Hall at 1225. Mike Florio at 11. Bears are in the plans today as we officially... Oh, yeah. White Sox are in the plans. White Sox
scored the points for the city yesterday. They got the two touchdowns we were missing.
It felt so good in the White Sox game for a while. Also gave up a touchdown. Yeah, they did. How we doing, Luis Castillo?
Nobody's bullpen makes me happy.
Vinny Pasquantino is having some fun last night for the Royals. That's for sure. We're making everybody nervous in White Sox land. Like, it felt so good. And we'll talk White Sox later in the show in earnest, but...
10-45.
Yeah, they made me feel good for a while in that game. They needed a laugher. One of our teams needed a laugher. That's what it felt like for most of the White Sox game until things got sketchy with Luis Castillo in the ninth inning. But as Layla said, yeah, we will talk about the White Sox in earnest towards the end of the first hour as we officially welcome you into the program. We are broadcasting live from the Hyundai Studios, brought to you by your local Hyundai dealers. We do begin with the Chicago Cubs of last night it was a Marlins 8-2 win over the Cubs in 12 that's right the Marlins scored six runs in the 12th inning of this contest much to pick through with this game I have to tell you though the way I was feeling watching this game at home and I
I feel sort of guilty for feeling the way I felt, and I don't even know if it was necessary for me to feel like I felt. And maybe I was just in a dark mood. Maybe I was a little depressed. Maybe it was a little bit of a weird day for me yesterday. So maybe all of these elements added to the mood that I had watching this Cubs game late. I had a flashback, Layla.
