What are the expectations for the Bears in the 2026 season?
Rahimi Harrison-Grody.
The great Kevin Harlan.
I just pulled through the Taco Bell drive-thru, and I've got a couple of big, nasty Supreme Burritos right here waiting to be eaten. You know, the first thing they ask you now, are you using the app? The app? No, I just want my burrito. I don't want to use an app. Bring a lot of mild sauce, because I'm going to squirt it all over the place.
Put some hot sauce on my burrito, baby.
Rahimi Harrison-Grody. Middays, 10 a.m. to 2, on The Score. There is no building off of this. We go back to square one. We're back at the bottom again. And that's really all 32 teams. If you feel otherwise, you're probably missing the big picture. We're back at, we got to start from scratch. We got to start from the fundamentals. A lot of guys talked about how difficult this training camp was. I didn't feel like it was anything out of my ordinary. They know what the expectation is.
That is the... Every time I hear it, I think of it a little bit differently. I'm going to go, that's the defiant Bears head coach, Ben Johnson, with a stern warning for Bears Nation. Really, that's for everybody. You've been warned, man. What we just did was really hard, and we got to start from the bottom. Rahimi Harrison-Grody on the score. Thanks for being with us. 312-644-6767 if you want to join the fun here today. Thank yous, too, to our video producers. If you want to watch, you can do so on twitch.tv slash thescorechicago. The gentleman running the show... Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, and Max Curtis, and we thank them for doing what they do. And as we do, Marshall, we do begin the process of the – I'm going to use a word – the arduous process of starting to define new expectations.
I call it arduous – and that might be the wrong word. I don't know – Because they just came off this spectacular season where they won a playoff game, all the things I said, they look legitimate. And now we have to ask for more. Can we get a little more now, please? Can you win two playoff games? Can you get to the Super Bowl because... That Marshall Harris will be the expectation for the Chicago Bears next year. Guaranteed.
Guaranteed. Have you ever played Super Mario Brothers, like the original Super Mario Brothers, the game that came stock with the Nintendo Entertainment System? I am the worst person to speak to when it comes to video games.
That's why I asked, because I didn't know if you had or not. I have not. I think a certain... I played outside. A certain member... We all played outside, Brody. No, you didn't. No, most people don't. I have a friend... Now you sound like a boomer. Can I tell you something right now? I don't care if I sound like a boomer right now. Oh, goodness. I have a very close friend of mine's child was just hurt, and he said he got hurt playing a video game, and he's on crutches, still waiting for more details, and I'm like... Wait, what? What world... You know this friend of mine, too. Was this a Wii? I don't know. Was he doing some physical activity? I was just trying to share sympathy for the child at the time. I wasn't going to go into... I guess I'm doing it now.
I'll hit 50,000 watts.
But you're using the blowtorch.
Soon to be on AM and FM, by the way.
You're using the blowtorch.
I'm using the blowtorch, and this person might even be listening. But, yes, I'll go boomer on that stuff. I played outside. But anyway, the analogy that you were going for... Let me give it to you.
A fair portion of our... audience i would believe has our boomers probably well yeah maybe but we're all over the ledger super mario brothers like a lot of games you can't save the game right like now games you finish it and it saves automatically most games you either had to put in a password or just start from the beginning again and so you go through super mario brothers there's 32 levels okay four chapters in each level There's eight worlds you go through, and there's four stages in each world. You beat the game, and it sends you back to the beginning of the game. Except for this time, they have these little things called Koopa Troopas, which you just jump on, and they're dead.
