What is the concept behind the 'How Many Bears' segment?
Bears. It's time for How Many Bears?
This is a very complicated case on my How Many Bears scale because Bruce did begin the topic by saying Green Bay sucks. I got him up to 6.5 Bears, but...
How do the hosts rate Bruce's comments on Green Bay?
That little rant about what galvanized this city, you need to improve your attitude about bears and football in this town if you want to get some percentage bears back. 5.2. How many bears?
I had come face to face with Jeremy Allen White.
Bear.
Bear. The bear. So close that I could smell him. He smelled like every dude who was working out.
And this is one of the things that I love, and I mean this. I love people that are not from Chicago, that discover Chicago and love Chicago and can't get Chicago out of their system, especially if you are from the metropolis of New York City. That's in the 7.8 range, 7.8 Bears.
How many Bears? I said it was going to be controversial. On 104.3 The Score.
We try to pick a time every week where Mark Grody is in, where we can do the segment, How Many Bears. You hear Mark's music. That is Boneless by Steve Aoki. That's his walk-up. So we start with How Many Bears, and you actually wanted to start with something. I don't know if it's bear measurement, Mark, but we're going to discuss it. David Sandlin, the White Sox pitcher, on with Matt Spiegel, Lawrence Holmes, talking about Caleb Williams, right?
I was actually at the game at the Cotton Bowl. He first got in and it was just unbelievable. I tell people he was probably the greatest college athlete I've seen in person. Just watching him, especially in that game, it was unbelievable. We were ready to leave, we thought we lost the game, and then he comes in, takes over, we come all the way back. It's been history for him from there.
Wow. To be talking about Caleb Williams after what was a really nice debut for David Sandlin when he was on Spiegel and Holmes, let me think about this. Like, right... Did he just say the greatest college athlete that I have seen? That's pretty heavy stuff right there. Now, I wish he would have mentioned something about the Bears. Caleb Williams with the Bears. He did not do that. So that precludes him from getting anything over 7. It's a 6.8 Bears for David Sandlin. Pretty good for a rookie right out of the box who right now is not with the Major League team.
I am shocked that he's getting that many Bears based on a comment that really wasn't about...
What insights do the hosts share about Chicago's sports culture?
the city of Chicago or Bears. I'm feeling generous today. I see that.
Technically, it was how many Sooners? Because David Sandlin and Caleb Williams were both at OU at the time.
Ah, Sooners.
That is correct.
It forced me to say that, by the way. I'm like, ugh.
We don't really have a clarification on how many actual college athletes he actually saw play in person. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
I don't know, though, because he's from Tulsa, so he was plugged into OU football, and you tend to be plugged into a lot of college sports in that market. So I would guess he does have a good acumen, just knowing the sports tendencies of Tulsa sports fans.
6.2 bears. 6.2 bears.
What about just David Sandlin coming onto the scene and being amazing?
No, that's all added into it. He's David Sandlin. We know him. We're talking about him. So he's already got some bears, which got him up to the 6. It was 6.8, but you guys talked me down to 6.2.
Oh, I wasn't trying to talk you down. I was just giving my honest opinion.
It's okay. I will allow you guys to affect the meter a little bit. For the most part, all decisions are final, but I like hearing your arguments.
No, they're not. You took Bears away from the guy who created the scale in Jack Sanborn.
He could have done more to keep himself with the Bears.
I don't think he could have at the time.
It was not his decision. Every time I see 57 out on the practice field, I'm like, oh man, I hope he's not mad at me.
If there's one thing I don't want to do in life, it's upset a linebacker.
That's a good point.
Especially a professional one. What, you're going to play linebacker? Yeah, that's my dream job is to play linebacker in the NFL because your whole job is to just mess up somebody else's plan.
