What is the opening banter and who joins the show today?
Rahimi Harrison Grody. Herb joins us in studio right now and and Marshall. He smells great. And that to me, that is bonus points. On top, that is an underrated thing. I mean you smell
great.
Middays 10 to 2 on 104.3
the score. What's the philosophy on left tackle, right tackle, like the old school wave, blind side? If you don't acquire or develop an elite left tackle, will there be a day where you may consider putting Darnell to the other side?
No, I I don't think that's necessary. I think pass rushers are equally good on both sides these days. Um I don't subscribe to that to that viewpoint necessarily. I think he he does a really good job on the right side. Um he's very comfortable over there. Uh and and we'll continue to to find that left tackle that helps complement our offense and and does great things. I I go back to what do we look for first and foremost in our tackles. They need to be able to block a defensive end one on one on a consistent basis. That's the starting point. Uh and then everything else is is really gravy on top of that.
Ben Johnson keeping Darnell right in his safe place. As we welcome you back to Rahimi Harrison Grody on 1043 the score. Yeah, we've got Herb Howard from the Biggs in studio. We'll continue to talk Bears and left tackle here in a second because there's a new twist at the left tackle position. But we've got some breaking news.
Yeah, breaking news on the score, sponsored by iDot. At some point in the day, everyone is a pedestrian. Slow down and give Mark Grody and them some space. Share the road. It's not a game. Tim Anderson. Former White Sox batting champ. Has retired. And the White Sox taking advantage of Tim Anderson's official retirement announcement by announcing the return of the Southside Nike City Connect uniforms for a special presentation on September 17th. The celebration will honor the two-time All-Star and the 2019 American League batting champion. There will be a special pregame ceremony before the 640 first pitch versus Detroit. I I'm shocked that Tim Anderson has retired, but I guess it makes sense because he hasn't done anything the last couple of years.
Uh he was DFA'd earlier this season by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, spent a year in Miami, and really hasn't done anything since Jose knocked him TF out.
Out.
How do the hosts define the ideal left‑tackle versus right‑tackle philosophy for the Bears?
I mean, really, the correlation, I don't know if there is an exact correlation with it, but his his career went sideways after he was a butting star. He was only 33, eight years with the White Sox. He was a a batting champion with the White Sox, a two-time All-Star, a Silver Slugger award winner. And Herb, he was like gonna he was people are talking about. about especially after the corn game as some people like to call it. It sounds like field of dreams game. It's field of dreams. I think it was who who called it the corn game. I was I was there. It was Tony LaRussa that called it the the corn game. He was becoming the in some ways
The face of baseball. Yeah, I think he was one of the more popular players in Chicago, I would say, this century, just uh in terms of sports teams here. People really love TA, right? And and he he made himself likable. He lent himself to the fan base. He played good ball. He had good personality. He had a swagger to him that we like in this city. So, you know, shout out to TA for for putting in a lot of good service time here. Ain't that TA right there?
Oh yeah, Jim Anderson Bob. In the corn. Right? Yeah, in the corn. Yeah, that's the corn game. That's the corn game. Nice job, butte. Five buttes for that. And yeah, sitting right next to the bear. We've got the the grobber doll right here, which is always always present. So that's sad. Good for the White Sox to jump on that quickly and bring him back. I'm sure that'll be a that'll be a cool night. Um very popular player while he was here. There is a report, Herb Howe. Howard from Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. And it says that it looks like, this is his quote, quote, it looks like Ozzie Trapillo, who started six regular season games at left tackle last year, then tore his patellar tendon in the wild card round, might be back sooner than expected.
