What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
We're talking to play-by-play man Kevin Harlan. You're the best when it comes to play-by-play of life.
We're sending Marshall Harris to D.C. to run on the field.
Come on, Marshall.
Bring it home, baby. We're ready for you.
The Rahimi Harrison Grody Show. Middays 10 to 2 on 670 The Score.
And guess what? We're talking to Kevin Harlan again today. That will happen at 1 o'clock right here on Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 670 The Score. So we're excited about that. We have to get into the factor of the weather actually making a difference. Not just for us because we talk about it. Not just because it's bear weather because that's a thing for us. But other quarterbacks. But in the meantime, we have no idea what's going on in the hallways of our studio today.
Right?
I was like, wait, is that? We just saw, yeah, like there's famous people. Matt Forte is just walking in our hallway.
There he goes again. It's Matt Forte. There he goes. There he goes again.
What is 'Bear weather' and why is it significant for the game?
He like smiled and pointed at Grody as he walked by. And I was like, what's happening, Pat and Ron? We're in our hallways. There is another athlete in our hallways, I'm pretty sure, who was here earlier who like looked by the studio. And I'm like, what? Is my brain deceiving me? Like, did I just see Matt Forte?
Matt Forte, unlike myself, is dressed like he's going places.
Yeah, look at him, man. Nice coat. He's rocking right there. He looks sharp. He looks good. Boots on. I was like, all right. See you, Matt Forte. Never gets old seeing Matt Forte walking the hallways of the score.
It's not as simple as, oh, have him pop on, unfortunately. We would love it if it were, but that's not really the case here. He's got work to do. He's awesome. But at the same time, we're just like, wait, was that Matt Forte? I'm like, no. Why would he be here? That absolutely was. So that's the kind of Friday we're working with here in the office. Getting back to the task at hand, which is the weather. I did not know it was going to snow this morning, by the way. That escaped me. But we know that the game time temperatures on Sunday are reportedly going to be in the teens. And then when you add to the fact that not only are we looking at nine for the low on Sunday, depending on who your weather app is, and 20 for the high, for the high, there's the effect of the wind.
There's the concern about just staying in one spot. It's going to be effectively cold. Well, one person who had something to say about it and the fact that it does matter is Tom Brady. Listen to what he had to say on The Herd Show about what it can do to you.
Matt did play in Detroit for a long time. And in that division, you did go outside to Chicago and green Bay. It's not like he hasn't played in it, but I will say when I went to Tampa after my time in New England, it didn't take me very long to get very soft to their cold weather. And we ended up going to green Bay and the NFC championship game, my first year. And very fortunately the game wasn't that cold. It was like 32, 34 degrees at kickoff. It wasn't, minus nine. That is really cold. And that's a big advantage for Chicago because Chicago has played in these conditions now for the last six weeks. It's been terrible weather in the Midwest. They played against Cleveland in the freezing cold. Caleb looked like it was just like he was playing at the Coliseum in LA.
He was firing that ball over the field. He's a really unique player. They've got a really unique team.
Um,
If there's a team that can figure it out and I've loved the Rams all year with their kind of their diversification of what they do in offense, tight ends, receivers, run game, everyone touches it. And that's the moving target. Sean keeps everyone off balance. This is going to be another terrific matchup. I'm so excited to see the winner of this game.
And that was on FS1 when he was on the herd. So he does give some background there, but it does matter to these guys. I mean, you know, I made the joke when we got that sent to us on our group thread and he's talking about the cold weather. And I was like, did you say you have to deflate the ball?
