Mark Grote 0:00

Rahimi Harrison-Grody. That's a show trying to win a Marconi right there. Middays 10-2 on 104.3 The Score. I'm thinking I'm the best coach in America.

Vinny Rotino 0:12

I mean, we tend to agree, don't we? You beat the Packers in the playoffs. It's first Bears win in 15 years in the postseason, Ben Johnson. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score.

Why are the hosts celebrating the Bears' playoff win and Ben Johnson's role?

Vinny Rotino 0:25

From the man who bought you plays like... the stumble bum in Detroit, or whatever you call the excitement that we saw here in Chicago, the White House. I know you call that play against the Cowboys, the White House. Don't lie to me, Bears.

Mark Grote 0:39

Yeah, yeah, exactly. You can't hide that from us.

Vinny Rotino 0:41

And I know what the undertone was, and I laughed at the undertone.

Mark Grote 0:44

Got Penny Sewell trying to throw passes against the Bears before he even came to the Bears.

Vinny Rotino 0:49

Andrew Billings was out here catching balls for a little bit in the drill. I'm looking forward to that drill coming back during training camp, by the way.

Mark Grote 0:54

Oh, heck yeah.

Vinny Rotino 0:55

Big men catching ball.

Mark Grote 0:56

Yeah, and well, darn all right. He feels like people want him to, and he's the one that doesn't necessarily want to. He's like, I just want to play left tackle or right tackle.

Vinny Rotino 1:06

I saw him do a cartwheel on the Colson Loveland touchdown.

Mark Grote 1:11

That's why we think there's more to it, but he doesn't really necessarily. To his credit, there's a little humility there. He doesn't necessarily want to embrace the silliness.

Vinny Rotino 1:19

He is humble. You're right about that. I remember when you guys asked him about being a unicorn, his response was, I don't have a horn.

Mark Grote 1:28

You thought it was a serious question. Guys, do I have a horn? Am I a unicorn? I don't think so.

Vinny Rotino 1:38

One of the best answers, really, when you look back at Bears football season, that was up there for me.

Mark Grote 1:44

It was. I'm glad that the right tackle is set. It's just the left tackle that is a little bit concerning. But we'll get to that.

Vinny Rotino 1:52

Why are we having such sports deja vu, by the way? Like, take us back to this time last year where we're like, the Cubs pitching staff is injured. They need starters. And then here we are again. And it's like, I don't know who's going to be left tackled. And then here we are again.

Mark Grote 2:06

Yeah, and then there's this fact that there's a center situation. But I think that'll be Garrett Bradbury, probably.

Vinny Rotino 2:12

I do, too, until Logan Jones has a little more experience.

Mark Grote 2:15

Just seems to make so much more sense.

Vinny Rotino 2:18

And poor Bradbury has been in the situation before where he's the bridge center.

Mark Grote 2:23

Right. He knows what's up. I mean, they drafted a center.

Vinny Rotino 2:26

I think if you're an offensive player, you want to be on this team, even if you're okay with your role changing, because you're playing for Ben Johnson. Yes. And that is why I find this list ridiculous, Mark. Mm-hmm. Ranking the NFL's 10 best head coaches entering the 2026 season from PFF. And you know, they do mix it up on opinions. They do mix it up on rankings. But this, even for them, raises some eyebrows.

Mark Grote 2:52

You ready to go through it?

Vinny Rotino 2:53

Yeah, I feel like you just made the list is the right. You want to make this list. You don't want to be on Jericho's list. But this is, listen, number one is Sean McVay from the Rams. We're good with that? We're good with that, especially since his offense is the Ben Johnson offense is the Spider-Man meme.

Mark Grote 3:10

We're good like that? We're good like that.

Vinny Rotino 3:12

We're good like that. Okay, so we're cool like that. Andy Reid from the Kansas City Chiefs is number two. Any debate there?

Mark Grote 3:17

We're cool like that? We're cool like that.

Vinny Rotino 3:20

Kyle Shanahan is number three.

Mark Grote 3:22

He's pretty good. I still don't have an issue. Still don't have an issue as of yet. Number four, I really... Turning our pages in the miscellets.

Vinny Rotino 3:29

Yes, Mark has a staple. And I used to think that was kind of egregious, but then I realized Mark is scattered in his presentation and the papers go everywhere. Why did you think that that...

Mark Grote 3:40

was what did you what were egregious yeah why like wasting a staple yeah like do you really need the staple but I'm a I may slide the paper underneath okay I just have to keep things together you've learned that I lose things if I don't it's a good it's a good yes I need things attached in life staples don't grow on trees Gertie
