What progress have the Bears made with Illinois lawmakers?
This hour brought to you by Vasectomy Clinics of Chicago.
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 Harrison-Grody, 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score.
So I'm just minding my own business on Instagram yesterday and I'm like scrolling through stuff. And then what do I see? Well, if it isn't our plucky friend, Kayla Gaylor, falling down. What happened?
I start approaching the scrum. I can't hear anything. So I go around to one side of him where it's like closest to his locker and there was a folding chair. So I kneel on the folding chair and the folding chair collapsed underneath me. Oh, man. Yeah, because you should never trust a folding chair, honestly.
Good thing I brought my collapsible stick chair.
It collapsed right away, and I went, like, hand first into his locker. I went straight into his locker, and he had a beer sitting there, and I knocked his little beer over.
Oh, you spilled the beer. It gets worse.
Yeah. He was on his way to the pub to have a drink and walked in the door and someone had spilled a beer and he slipped and broke his neck. There's a lot of hazards.
There's a lot of hazards post-game in the NFL locker room.
There really are. You have to really watch yourself because if it's not falling into a locker, it's tripping over shoulder pads. No doubt. The amount of times I've been in the path of somebody throwing dirty laundry into the hamper is like every time.
Between Bad Bunny, Pool Reporting, and then finishing with spilling Sam Darnold's beer, you had quite an experience.
I was like, I need a beer now, leaving this locker room. I need a beer and a tequila chaser. And maybe if I black out, I can forget that game.
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.
Poor Kaylin Kaler. Just tumbling into Sam Darnold's locker and knocking over his beer. Sam, you won the Super Bowl. You don't get your beer. Kaylin took it out. This is Rahimi Harrison-Rodion, 104.3 The Score. And for the second day in a row... We have more follow-up when it comes to discussion surrounding the Bears stadium. If you missed us yesterday, and I know there were a lot of people who called, we will take your calls again in this hour. 312-644-6767 is our number. You do have a vote. You do have a say with us. Even if you don't get to vote on it yourselves in an actual ballot, we at least will listen to you. So just know that. And in the meantime, we got some answers on our afternoon show yesterday.
Spiegel and Holmes, who had cam buckner on who is part of the state legislature he's one of our representatives and cam is important in this because he provides answers and that's that's what you want from your public servants and cam is sports savvy as we know and he he understands the discussion i think a little bit better from people like us who you know know about the bears but don't necessarily know what the other money would go to in a budget So Cam, I think, provided some valuable answers. You know, before we get to what he said, what were you two's opinions of just Cam kind of clarifying Marshall Harris and Mark Grody?
I loved Cam's appearance because it kind of took us behind the curtain as much as he could because obviously it's an act of negotiation. There's only so much that he can say. But when you bring up the reference to having been through something similar, when you talk about the Cubs, deciding they were going to remake their ballpark and do all the things that they were doing. And in comparison to this, not an apples-to-apples comparison, but just laying it out, hey, this is where we are with the NFL and their process compared to what happened with the Cubs. I thought that... illustrated more clearly what this whole process is going to look like and the fact that hey we're making progress in this process that's probably the most important thing yeah i mean that was the first thing that i jotted down in this that again the the evidence is mounting from all the different sides of this that the meetings are positive specifically using words like the most regularity and clarity
