Happy New Year, everyone, along with former NFL MVP Rich Gannon and Kevin Harlan. Somebody has run out on the field. Some goofball in a hat and a red shirt. Now he takes off the shirt. He's running down the middle by the 50. He's at the 30. He's bare-chested and banging his chest. Now he runs the opposite way. He runs at the 50. He runs at the 40. The guy is drunk, but there he goes. That was a thick pick. third and seven ram 43 shotgun snap pocket crumbles allen's running from the 40 to the far side stiff on his way into a defender and got the first down he took that defender with his right arm a stiff arm and threw him down like he was a ragdoll the nba on tmt is brought to you by the new crispy tenders at carmex wait a minute hold on i'm holding hold on are they serving tenders with cars
with Rahimi Harrison-Groney on the score.
Come on, Marshall. Bring it home, baby. We're ready for you.
He is one of my favorite voices in all of play-by-play, so much so that he is on our show every day encouraging Marshall Harris thanks to his last interview. We love talking to Kevin Harlan when we get the chance. He is on the call for Westwood One's coverage of the divisional round game between the Bears and the Rams, and he joins us through the Circus Sports Illinois hotline.

Hey, Layla, Mark, Marshall, good to be on with you guys on a playoff weekend in Chicago. It doesn't get much better than that, does it?
No, absolutely. And for us, you know the first time that the Bears have won a playoff game in 15 years. I can't imagine what it's like for you also to be able to observe this and call their divisional round game.
Oh, it's a blast. I can't wait. It's going to be colder than a, you know what, and that's going to be just fitting perfectly with the narrative of, what the Bears are all about and how they've battled not only weather, but they've battled just becoming the team that they are. They're taking on a Hall of Fame quarterback-to-be, perhaps, in Matthew Stafford. I think it's a game of the weekend. And I don't think there's a better story in the NFL going right now than the Chicago Bears. Kevin, we here in Chicago agree with you. I'm just curious. I don't know the levels of press box open your window will be. Can you walk us through that for the kickoff of this game, which you know is supposed to be sub-freezing and feels like sub-zero?
Yeah, our windows are open, unfortunately. And so whatever wind or elements that are out there for the fans, we will feel it right with them. We are bundled up and have a little bit of protection, clearly. But in the way that the broadcast area is set up, there is not a lot of room to get warm and find that warmth. And bathroom facilities are at a premium. And we share them with the assistant coaches. And that tends to be the warmest part of the entire little broadcast area that we're in. You've got a lot of men standing in the bathroom, huddled up, trying to get warm. And there's nothing that says the NFL like that, baby. We're ready to go. Trust me, I know the layout of those broadcast booths. Oh, and I just looked it up, Kevin, because you didn't want to say it.
It's going to be colder than a... I'm going to go with brass toilet seat in the Yukon. How's that? I was going to say a part of a witch, but you pick out whatever you want, and we'll go with whatever feels right. All right, that feels right to me. What do you think about Caleb Williams and what he has done recently and what he has done this season in terms of his development? I love him. I think that he has, when the chips seem to be on the table, he comes up with some of the most incredible things past completions that this past season has seen. I still am in disbelief at some of the throws. I've seen him make a lot of them against the Packers down there at Soldier Field. But that, I think, is what all these scouts and general managers saw when he was coming out of SC.
And clearly what Ben saw when he left the Lions, it was going to pick and choose among the openings that
