This hour is sponsored by AlmostFreeTeeth.com. Affordable implants, life-changing smiles.
The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously. 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!
Rahimi, Harris, and Grody. 10 to 2 on 670 The Show. We talked to Jared Payton here, Rahimi Harrison-Cloney.
It's an on-the-spot question, but I'm going to ask you this question pertaining to the Bears, all right? If you could keep one of the safeties, which one of those two safeties would you keep on the Chicago Bears team? Before you roll, you must either choose to nominate yourself... Or you must nominate one other player to be at risk of elimination.
Dude, why? Grody, what are you doing, man?
This is what Grody does.
Provocateur.
I'm a provocateur.
I'm sorry.
That's probably an agent provocateur sent in to discredit your organization with ridiculous behavior. would go with a little bit more of the youth and what Jaquan Brisker is all about. But I just don't know money-wise, can they make that work? I know the conversations between them and Kevin Byard have been there, that he wants to come back. But if I had to choose one, it would be Jaquan Brisker, just with everything that he's able to do.
What did it cost me?
Brody, I'm going to find you in the streets, man. I'm going to find you in the streets.
How did Caleb Williams' performance impact the Bears' success?
And what I do, you know exactly what time it is. The bear hug I'm going to give you is going to, you aren't going to be able to move. You might not be able to breathe. Brother? I'm Paul. You must be Tommy. Brothers don't shake hands. Brothers gotta hug.
Laila Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 670 The Score. Brothers don't shake hands. Brothers gotta hug. I say that all the time. Tyler Buterbaugh with a beaut of an open yet again. The Grody pointed nod.
Now that I listen to that, was that really that provocateur-ing? You ambushed that man on his way out the door. It was late in the game, wasn't it? Like, he's just like, he's being happy.
Don't look at me. You're provocateur-ing yourself by even asking the question right now.
Just being all, Jared, being nice and informative and telling us, and you're right, and then I hit him up pretty hard. But honestly, the real truth to this, though, is he answered the question very well, very thought out, and we ultimately agreed. Brisker by an eyelash. I did not agree. No, that's okay. That's okay.
Yeah, yeah. Here's the thing. That question is going to prevail until decisions are made on the both of them. No doubt. On Jaquan Brisker and on Kevin Byard. Or, or... Until another team makes a decision on one of them. And that's something that you have to consider as well. As we've talked about, safety is one of those positions where traditionally you do have many free agents who will hit the market. But those two do have value. And that is, I think, as we like to say, that is a story we will continue to track.
Fluid, a fluid situation.
What was the biggest surprise on the Bears' offense this season?
This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody. On this Friday, we are happy to come to you from our Hyundai Score Studios, brought to you by your local Hyundai dealers. And with the Bears season wrapping up, and since we have the host of the Take the North podcast with us today.
That's right, TTN.
Who's the new sponsor, by the way, of the breaking news we have here.
Which I appreciate.
Says us.
Yes.
Yeah. I mean, that can change. That can change.
Ooh, we don't want to see that change.
Pay your bills, Mark. We can be bought. Yeah, we can be bought. But right now the sponsor is TTN.
I tried to bought coffee for you guys today, but then the boss, Ryan Porth, intercepted it. Yeah, which I was... You got bigfooted. And I didn't even try to fight him. Did you notice that? I was like, okay, Porth's getting it.
There's also the battle of who's open today. So that is also an element of not only are you playing Frogger with your life by just nobody's on the streets.
