What opening show disclaimers and host introductions set the tone for Rahimi, Harris & Grody?

0:00

The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously.

Marshall Harris 0:04

Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey. The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time. It's just sports. Okay, thanks, bye!

0:19

Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.

Vinny Rotino 0:24

There's still a big gap between us and the top in the world. And I think if we actually want to play on that stage, and we should, that we're going to have to answer some hard questions about ourselves as to how we deserve better. We have enough people to do this. I don't think we're at the point 30 years ago as a country, population-wise, where we say, oh, well, all our good athletes play basketball, baseball, football. We've seen even that change and evolve over the years.

Marshall Harris 0:51

College football-wise, what the U.S. is right now. is in a good year. They are like the best Boise State team to ever play.

Vinny Rotino 0:59

I was going to say it's a mid-major comparison.

Miguel Amaya 1:02

They're not even a power four school. You're throwing too many big words at me. Okay, now, because I don't understand them, I'm going to take them as disrespect.

Vinny Rotino 1:09

312-644-6767. Vernon and Hyde Park. You're on Rahimi Harrison-Grody.

1:14

So I got two points.

Miguel Amaya 1:15

America will always be bad in soccer, and it's because of the demographics and the pay to play.

Matthew Boyd 1:23

To play youth soccer right now, the kid will have to have parents who are able to pay for traveling teams, kids, uniforms, things of that nature.

Ian Happ 1:33

Everywhere else around the world, there's no financial barrier for a kid to play sports. Also, we lost yesterday, too, because of Trump. Wrong.

1:44

When he went to go to the Knicks play, they lost. No collusion. There's no collusion. There's no collusion, and there hasn't been collusion. When he intervened and got the red car suspension pulled, we lost bad. Worst time ever.

PJ Vogt 1:58

It's a disgrace. It's frankly a real disgrace.

2:00

That's all I'm saying. You know, it's two for two.

Miguel Amaya 2:03

When he dips his nose in, bad stuff happens.

2:06

It was a very hard, very hard thing to do. Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.

Vinny Rotino 2:21

It's about the friends we made along the way or something, right? Did we make any friends? I think we did with people who visited here, but not in Chicago because we didn't get to host the World Cup. Stares at Rahm Emanuel. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. And we begin with some round ball, but not that kind. Baseball. Technically, many of them are round. Only the football really is an issue.

Marshall Harris 2:46

How about the ones that aren't round in baseball? Those are bad days when there's a non-round baseball. Are you saying that because they're being flattened out by hitters as they fly out of the park and onto whatever street is outside your local ballpark? Utah Street.

Vinny Rotino 2:59

It's Utah again for the Cubs. Yeah. That was cool. Ian Happ hit one to Utah Street. We might have to ask him about that.

Marshall Harris 3:06

Once upon a time ago, he did.

Vinny Rotino 3:07

He joins us at 1225 from Baltimore, or as they say, Baltimore, or as people sometimes say, the A's, Baltimore-ies, with Scott Van Pelt and Tim Kirkjian.

Marshall Harris 3:17

That Northeast accent, doggone it.

Vinny Rotino 3:19

You know what it sounds like to me, Baltimore specifically? Like if you were playing a cassette tape in reverse. You know how the people used to see if there were hidden messages in Beatles songs if you played them in reverse? That's how the Baltimore accent sounds to me.

Marshall Harris 3:32

So just like a Missy Elliott hit song is what you're saying.

Why are the hosts debating America's soccer development and World Cup hosting impact?

Vinny Rotino 3:35

Maybe so. Or, for example, one day I was in D.C. covering the Atlantic 10 tournament, or as they call it, tournament.

Marshall Harris 3:47

Tournament.

Vinny Rotino 3:47

And they bring in a bunch of guys from all over, over, Baltimore being one of them. And so somebody spilled some sort of cooler, like an actual whole cooler. And the audio guy was from Baltimore, and he goes, Oh, no!

Marshall Harris 4:04
