Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
Christian McCaffery, an exciting white, was on the Bussin' with the Boys podcast.
When these injuries happen, how frustrating is it for you? Because when they were kind of piling up and popping up last year, it's almost like universally, like, okay, he's getting a little bit older, white running back. What's that got to do with age? You know what it has to do with. Come on. You're not supposed to be here, man. Endangered species never know they're endangered, man. Snow Leopard. What were you asking? Christian knows how I was feeling last year. I'm like, oh, the whiteness is catching up to him. He just said running back. When he put white running back in it, that put a little stank on it. Hit me again, Ike, and put some stank on it. I will never not think of Christian McCaffrey as the Snow Leopard.
That's a great nickname. That is great. Is that his nickname or did he just come up with that on the fly? Snow leopards are one of the world's most endangered species. Never know they're endangered, man. Nickname. C-Mac or Run-C-M-C. They live in the world's highest ranges and are one of the least understood felines. I think that's what I'm going to be calling him from now on. That man is rare and fast.
At least we're not saying he's a good route runner or he's sneaky fast. All the coded language there that one typically says.
Gym rat.
Oh, country strong? That's a little too obvious.
Oh, no, country strong can be applied to everybody. Someone from Alabama. A grinder. That's one.
Heady player.
He's a very heady player.
Okay, okay.
Yes, thank you. The name is White. Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.
Well, actually, it's Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Brody, and Ryan Porth narrowly escaping the clutches of the studio. Wave to the cameras, Ryan. You had to clean up that mess anyway.
It's my fault.
I made a mess. Marshall Harris brought in, I think, about 98 ounces of sweet tea from Panera and picked his cup up by the lid, and that's when we decided to destroy the studio with an onslaught of a Pacific Ocean worth of tea.
Listen, listen. I didn't pick the cup up. I just simply tipped it and it fell over and I didn't know the lid could just pop off that quickly.
That's what she said.
It's a good thing that we have Starbucks coming later. I don't know if you saw your text.
I did not see my text because we were busy trying to save the studio.
Yes, and the liquid went everywhere.
What implications does the Kyle Tucker contract have for MLB?
It somehow got on every single electrical piece of equipment on the desk in here. Do you see how everything's askew? If you go to twitch.tv slash thescorechicago, and unfortunately I was trying to move Tim Anderson, and I removed one of his hands. Can you please pass me the bobblehead so I can show the people? Or you can display it for yourself. I'm really sorry. I tried to save Tim Anderson. And this is what happens when you try to save people and you're not qualified. You're not a paramedic. You're not a first responder. I accidentally ripped off T.A. 's hand.
Down goes Anderson!
Down goes Anderson! He didn't deserve this. He did not deserve to have his hand ripped off because I was trying to save him and failed.
the second worst thing to happen to him, man.
Jose Ramirez was the first. Are you sure that was it? Not that podcast with Ryan Clark or something?
Oh, yeah.
That was a choice. So was the fight with Jose Ramirez, though, let's be honest. Although, Jose kind of ended that himself. He didn't deserve this. I'm sorry, T.A.
Jose Ramirez didn't cost him a hand.
Where is the hand? Just threw his hand. I just threw it.
I don't know where the hand is.
Please tell me we didn't accidentally throw away T.A. 's hand in the cleanup.
I
I can't confirm nor deny that. It's okay, though.
It's okay.
It's okay. He didn't know how to throw hands anyway.
Wasn't he supposed to be holding a bat here? He didn't know how to throw hands anyway. That's too much. Hey, you leave him out of this.
