9.54 - 37.294 Unknown

It's 3-1. Here's the shotgun snap to May and a sidearm delivery. Got it to his running back, Henderson, who takes it by midfield. Down the near sideline, 40. Down the near sideline, 35. Tap it at the 30. The clock is ticking, 2-1, and that's it. And the Seattle Seahawks have won Super Bowl XVI. in pretty dominating fashion. 29-13, they win their second Vince Lombardi trophy.

38.033 - 62.561 Marshall Harris

That is Kevin Harlan on Westwood One. Impossible to concentrate with this song. This is Remy Harrison-Frody on 104.3 The Score. Herb Howard from the Biggs Media is here joining us in studio. And I'm dying laughing at all these texts on the text line. Maybe John Fox can hire Matt Iberflues as the junior assistant head coach. That's good. The 2010s called. They want their coach back.

0

63.001 - 69.193 Marshall Harris

This is the equivalent of the White Sox bringing in Tony La Russa. Like, everybody's going off.

69.213 - 77.338 Leila Rahimi

I mean, he's not in charge in charge. He's just an assistant. He's just a senior assistant. He's not in charge in charge. He's definitely a senior assistant, though.

77.74 - 99.9 Marshall Harris

Does this mean the Bears get compensatory picks for John Fox? The jokes, they just write themselves with this news. In the meantime, Herb did talk about going to the Super Bowl. You were there as part of the media, the contingent, the content machine. What were your experiences like? What was some of the gossip you got? I know we mentioned your conversation with Brian Urlacher.

99.94 - 101.082 Marshall Harris

What was it like out there?

102.158 - 124.966 Herb Howard

I told this to Lawrence and Speaks last week, but I... The thing that describes Radio Row the best to me was I walked in the door and one day I walk in the door and the first person I see is Flavor Flav. And then the very next person I see is Barry Sanders. And it's like you got this loud, obnoxious dude and then you got the most mild-mannered, temperamental dude ever.

124.986 - 144.088 Herb Howard

And it's like that's what Radio Row is. You run into all-time great athletes and then you run into... like just superstar socialites, entertainers or whatever. And it's just like, what is this place? And how is it all happening in the same space? Like why is Barry Sanders and flavor Flav in the same room right behind each other? What is this?

Chapter 2: What insights did Herb Howard share from his experience at the Super Bowl?

284.615 - 301.827 Herb Howard

And he just kind of gave me that DJ smile and said, we'll be back. We'll be back in 2026. Like I was saying earlier, I don't know if that's a conversation that he's had with Ryan Pose or a restructure thing or whatever. But... That was the biggest thing that I got from him. Also, DeAndre Swift told me he doesn't even want to play anywhere else. He's like, I don't want to play anywhere else, man.

0

301.867 - 312.829 Herb Howard

I've really enjoyed my time here. He was very, very grateful of the experience with EB, with Coach Eric Bien-Ami, who's obviously now gone back to Kansas City. But Dre was like, yeah, I don't even want to play anywhere else.

0

313.012 - 317.879 Marshall Harris

Well, and he's in a contract year, so that's a big deal. He'll be a free agent after next season.

0

317.899 - 338.608 Herb Howard

Yeah, he'll be highly motivated. I've heard some talks about the Bears could save like $7.4 million or something like that. And do what? You're going to save the $7.4 and then you're going to do what? You still got to pay a running back, right? Or like, I'm... as much of a fan of Camelot guys, anybody else, you're going to leave him back there by itself. You got to pay somebody.

0

338.648 - 350.983 Herb Howard

So what are you going to do with the 7.4 that you save if you get rid of Dre? So it was like, that doesn't make sense to me. He'll be highly motivated in the contract year, like you said, Layla. So bring Dre back, bring DJ back. Let's, let's keep this thing going.

351.163 - 359.893 Marshall Harris

Did you talk at all about like why you guys didn't get to talk to him when they had locker clean out day? Cause that was rare for him. He's usually around.

360.093 - 377.033 Herb Howard

I didn't ask him, but my assumption was just that he was annoyed with the conversation because, I mean, he just didn't come in there. It's not like the Bears, like, he's not available. He just didn't come in there. But, you know, to be completely honest, there was like 10 people in that locker room. Like, he wasn't the only one that wasn't there.

377.653 - 397.519 Herb Howard

Everybody wanted to talk to him, so you noticed his absence. But there was like 10 people there in the locker room, so a lot of people that were missing that day. But if I was DJ, I wouldn't have wanted to talk either because the whole conversation about – this magical season ending because of something I did or didn't do when really I'm as big a reason why this was a magical season as anybody.

398.26 - 400.123 Herb Howard

Knock it off. Go talk to somebody else.

Chapter 3: How did DJ Moore respond to questions about his future with the Bears?

614.09 - 627.53 Herb Howard

I talked to Coach Al Harris about this yesterday. Even prior to Jalen coming back, like what's going to happen when Jalen comes back? And he said, listen, you look at the ball production of Nishant Wright. How do you take that off the field? I was like, I don't think you should. I'm just asking you what's going to happen.

0

627.911 - 631.676 Herb Howard

He's like, well, you got to leave that type of ball production on the field. And I think that's all it was.

Chapter 4: What factors influence DJ Moore's potential return to the Bears?

632.017 - 650.651 Herb Howard

You got two outside corners. You got your slot corner. Neither one of those three guys that play outside can play inside for real. He was the odd man out. It was just that simple for me. I don't think he did anything wrong or there was some tumultuous things going on behind the scenes. You got two outside corners. He wasn't one of the top two at that time as far as the coaches felt.

0

650.811 - 651.452 Herb Howard

He wasn't going to play.

0

651.933 - 657.862 Marshall Harris

Okay, so we slated you for an hour, but I hear you're interested in what Kevin Durant had to say about All-Star.

0

657.882 - 659.965 Herb Howard

I think Kevin Durant might be saving All-Star.

0

660.653 - 663.082 Marshall Harris

Okay, you want to join us for the next segment?

663.102 - 663.905 Herb Howard

I'm down to hang out.

664.005 - 676.148 Marshall Harris

Because we have some all-star nuggets that include not only Kevin Durant, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but Mac McClung. And wait until you hear what Mac McClung had to say about the dunk contest. So we'll do that with Herb next.
