Chuck Swirsky 0:00
Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is a man who's got a massive brain.
Mike Florio 0:06
Mike Florio.
Chuck Swirsky 0:08
He used to be a lawyer, then he decided to take his talents to the internet.
Mike Florio 0:12
NBC Sports. I'm sorry I'm late, I was talking to Robert Kraft. That isn't the time for an airing of grievances. Pro Football Talk. I got a lot of problems with you people. No, you're going to hear about it. On Chicago Sports Radio, 104.3 The Score. I want to keep talking Legos.
Vinny Rotino 0:30
Mike Florio, you know him as the creator and editor-in-chief of Pro Football Talk. He is a man who knows how to construct a Lego set or two. Ghostbusters, anyone? And he joins us on Twitch, twitch.tv slash thescorechicago, and he is on our hotline as well. Mike, thanks for coming on on a Thursday day in a bit of a later time slot. We appreciate the adjustment.
Mike Florio 0:53
Hey, my pleasure. Anytime. And I was able to eat my lunch, which makes it... even better than usual.
Vinny Rotino 1:01
Chuck Swirsky is in for Marshall Harris on this show. And Chuck, what you don't know is that Mike Florio moves his lunch every Wednesday for us because he eats it at the same time every time. So Mike got his lunch in thanks to him adjusting.
Chuck Swirsky 1:13
Wow, that's great. I think that's very considerate of him. Mike, we have never met. I'm the broadcaster for the Bulls, and I'm filling in. But I have to tell you, and I'm not patronizing you, I'm a big fan of yours. And I love the NFL, and I love what you do. And I got two questions, maybe three, if you don't mind, Layla. No. Number one, what do you have for lunch?
Mike Florio 1:37
Well, this is embarrassing to admit, but I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I had some crackers with cheese. How about that?
Chuck Swirsky 1:46
Okay, so the PB&J, Mike, did you get them in the box? Like you pull them out like in the freezer section in grocery stores and you let them thaw. And I mean, they got the soft bread and they got the strawberry jelly and they got the peanut butter, the grape. It's pretty good.
Mike Florio 2:03
I still make my own. You do? It's the one thing I can make.
Vinny Rotino 2:06
You know, this is some synergy, some crossover here. Chuck, the Bulls announcer, and Mike Florio, the football scribe, the longtime football expert. You know that peanut butter and jelly is like one of the official foods of the NBA. I've always heard that the peanut butter and jelly sandwich is crucial in the NBA when it comes to— It is.
Chuck Swirsky 2:24
And you know what? That's what I have at halftime.
Vinny Rotino 2:26
No way.
Chuck Swirsky 2:27
Yes, I do.
Vinny Rotino 2:28
See, this is why I want to know you guys.
Chuck Swirsky 2:29
The second question is, did you get an invite for the Kelsey Swift wedding?
Mike Florio 2:34
You know, it's funny. I was at the grocery store a couple of weeks ago, and I ran into an old client of mine from when I was practicing law. And she said, hey, are you going to the big wedding? And I'm thinking, is there some big wedding locally that I have not been invited to? And she said, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. So, no, I just missed the list. A thousand guests. If there had been a thousand and one, Chuck, I'd be there.
Vinny Rotino 2:56
Okay, you two, do you actually think that it's going to be at Madison Square Garden, or is this all an elaborate ruse for another location?
Mike Florio 3:04
I think it's going to be there. There's been too many reports. The Associated Press had something recently. It's happening. Garden party tonight and some sort of a castle theme tomorrow. So it's happening.
Vinny Rotino 3:15
Yeah, I saw there was a, you know, I love a good internet sleuthing. I myself will be an internet sleuth from time to time. And there was film of somebody, I guess a grand piano was being wheeled into the gardens. supposedly, and that was like, well, wait, if nobody's playing there, then what is this? Or is it just another ruse? That was the big question. Was the piano a bluff?
Chuck Swirsky 3:38
Well, six degrees of separation. Kelsey's mother attended Ohio U when I was there. She graduated in 74. I graduated in 76. And as you know, the boys played at the University of Cincinnati. And they're from Cleveland, of course. And so speaking of Cincinnati, this is what I want to get to with you, Mike. No one's talking about Cincinnati. Well, people like you are. But give me reasons why I should believe in this ball club because I've read some things that they've got a shot at going to the Super Bowl.
