Chapter 1: What is the purpose of the Bears Awards in this episode?
We wanted to do something since we were all together, now that everybody is back in action. I'm sorry, people take time off when the football season comes to a close. You usually take a few days here and there. So that was me. And we've been working on this for a while, and we wanted you to join us. We want to give out the Bears Award.
Yes.
Our Bears Award.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Oh, there's music?
So you don't have to listen to me do sound effects for the next hour.
Congratulations. My favorite is when Grody does the law and order. I don't know if it's much of a dink. It sounds like more cute when you do like your law and order is cute. It's like who stole somebody's eraser at school or something. Law and order sound effect is more like who murdered a guy, but both are valid.
Kill the guy.
So, okay, we've got this lovely music and here are our categories for the Bears Awards. I suggested Bears MVP, MVP honorable mention, because you probably know who the MVP is going to be. Best offensive edition, best defensive edition. I'll add that to the list. I know, Ray, I didn't text these all at once.

Chapter 2: What categories are included in the Bears Awards?
Nice job.
Yeah. So good work, everybody. Please. I hope somebody got my first annual joke in there. At least that was a thing. So, all right. Number one bears MVP. It's Caleb Williams for me. Shocker. I'm not shocked by this at all. He ended up with his post-season yardage and his running yards. The total yards from scrimmage for Caleb Williams ended up being over 5,000. He was just shot.
A 4,000 passing yards for the regular season. I didn't even need it that much. Because I was so happy with what I saw out of the offense as a whole, which was also based largely on the run game. His completion rate was 58%. I don't care.
Yeah.
I'm that. When it becomes an issue where it's losing you ballgames, then I'll care. But for now, with this first year and the Ben Johnson offense, and when you see how many knee-jerk reactions and decisions have been made in the NFL... For the teams who feel like they didn't get the quarterback question right, that means that that is the most important position on the team.
It was the most crucial. The season was not going to work if Caleb Williams didn't improve, which he did. So overall MVP for me, it goes to the quarterback.
What's interesting about this question is every week on this show, Rahimi Harrison-Grody, on a Friday before game day, or excuse me, I guess on a Monday after game day, we talk about who was the most valuable player in that game outside of Caleb Williams because it's almost assumed that Caleb Williams would be the MVP, right?
And so I did a deep dive, and my initial reaction was, of course it's Caleb Williams, but it's not. It's not Caleb Williams for MVP. I'm going with the guy who is set to win the inaugural Protector of the Year award. The MVP of this team is Joe Tooney. Let me explain why. Caleb Williams did a good job. Caleb Williams improved over the course of the season.
But you know who the rock was on this team from day one to the end of the season? It was Joe Tooney. Joe Tooney, the left guard, sometimes left tackle of the Chicago Bears, is the MVP of this team. Here's why. The offensive line had a major overhaul, and he was at the center of it. Not literally, because that would be Drew Dahlman, because he plays center on the football team.

Chapter 3: How can fans participate in the Bears Awards?
He's a future Hall of Famer, and Joe Tooney was the most valuable player on the Bears.
That is a really well-thought-out answer, a good answer. So I guess I'm going to have to use all of my bullet points to tell you why I agree with Layla Rahimi. that Caleb Williams is the MVP of the Chicago Bears. I love the Tooney thing, though. But Caleb Williams, seven... This never goes out of style, saying seven fourth-quarter comebacks. Broke Eric Kramer's single-season pass record.
Elite passes of consequences. For example... 25 yards to DJ Moore with 148 left in a playoff game against the Packers. 14-yard pass to Cole Komet against the Rams where the ball actually traveled 51.2 yards in the air. A 46-yard pass to DJ Moore in overtime against the Packers in Week 16. Week 15 against the Browns, a 22-yard pass to DJ Moore for a touchdown.
And all of that that I just mentioned right there, that was all touchdowns. in a month period at the end of the season. I didn't even go through some of the elite stuff in the middle and earlier in the season. So I am going to go with Caleb Williams as your most valuable player for the Chicago Bears in 25-26.
Guys, I hear you. I just want to say consistency is king. And before Caleb was doing all of that, Joe Tooney's play allowed them to even be in that position.
So we have like eight questions here, and I was like, I don't know, guys. I don't know if we're going to get through all these in a certain amount of time. We'll be fine. So we're going to try. Yeah, you say that, and yet here we are after one question.
Yeah, Marshall.
We have more coming up here on Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 670. The scores are Bears Awards continue. 104.3 the score. Guys, you were supposed to yell at me. You didn't yell at me.
No, you were too busy yelling at Marshall. I'm just listening.

Chapter 4: Who is the MVP of the Chicago Bears for the 2025 season?
Doing something this, like multiple sections of a show being devoted to How good the Bears are?
These are based, and even the question where we say the step it up, like you need to step it up. We're not even saying that you were that bad. We're just saying you need to step it up.
Yeah, there's a little push, a little shove.
And I'm raising my eyebrow at you, just provingly, in FM. Yes, Ray?
As Layla said, this is, I went back and I got the whole title of this award show. It is the quote, the FM inaugural first annual Bears Awards, FM.
All right, so we'll figure that out. Very digestible. Did I hear another Bears in there? Were there two Bears?
FM. Two FMs.
All right, we'll figure it out. Okay, I like it. I think it's catchy. We can put it on a trophy and a t-shirt and people will 100% read the whole thing.
What would a Bears Dundee be called?
