Chapter 1: 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 ā I'm going to use a word ā the arduous process of starting to define new expectations. I call it arduous ā and that might be the wrong word. I don't know ā 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.

Chapter 2: How does the Bears' recent performance impact future expectations?
You're right because Ben Johnson and his staff, they all recognize that each individual season is a thing anew. Yes, you may have some of the same cast members, and those cast members, if you're developing them, may be better than a year prior, right? You look at all the young players on this team. But you're going to lose some of your veterans. Sure. You're going to get new players in here.
And the mission at the beginning, it starts anew. It's the same concept, winning as many games as you can to get into the playoffs, get the best seed you can get in the playoffs, to make your road easier in the playoffs. But that is the goal every year is to get in the playoffs and make a run in the Super Bowl championship.
And only one team out of 32 gets to hold the trophy at the end of the season.
Amen to that. Let me fire off a few text messages here in a row. Rapid fire. Fire. The Bears didn't beat the game. Okay. The Princess is in another castle. Another video game thing? That is specific to Super Mario Brothers. Okay. I was out playing wiffle ball and shooting baskets.
We were all doing that, but we also, on a rainy day, what were you doing, Mark? What were you doing on a rainy day?
We were trying to find a gym. Try to find a gym and see if we could break in there.
Yeah. No.
In all honesty, I'm glad about this about me, but I had Atari. I'm 54. So Atari was the thing. The Atari 2600. With the one button. With the original game. After that, I never graduated. I just didn't have interest because I think I knew myself. You were an adult at that point. Well, I just... That's the truth.
No, it's not true because, look, I didn't play video games throughout college, high school. I just never went back to it because I think I would be overconsumed with it. So that was me knowing me. So there's that. And then, of course, the next text, 847 Boomer Grody. And then one more text I wanted to read. You can't read every single text that we see on the text line.

Chapter 3: What challenges will the Bears face in the upcoming season?
I don't see any flowers popping through the snow. No, there are no flowers popping through the snow, and it was another rough, rough walk-in today. I didn't stop anywhere, though. We are excited about our FM debut this Monday, and we have lots planned for it. That's why I said, as I'm walking through the hallways, I'm seeing things.
I'm seeing different studios set up that we might be working in tomorrow because of the FM. I'm being asked to show up at certain places tomorrow in the name of this whole thing, of the name of the FM. So there's all sorts of surprises we have for you. Our FM debut, ladies and gentlemen, is Monday on 1-0-4-3, the score.
That's right, all score shows, Cubs, Bulls, all the stuff we do here, all those games on FM. High fidelity all the time, including in downtown Chicago. You know how annoying it can be when you don't get to hear the radio in the parking garage or wherever. The score will still be heard on 670 AM, but starting Monday at 8 AM during our show. It is the debut of 1-0-4-3 on FM.
The simulcast is presented by the official sportsbook of the score, Circa Sports. Sports betting the way it should be with no bet fees. I can't wait. I know.
I feel like the energy has been percolating around here. It might take people even a while to, you know, we're still going to be on that 670. That's right. Make it nice and easy. The first time you can't hear it, it'll be the first time you turn over to 104.3.
Then the people will be like, what were they saying about that whole FF thing? They made a big deal.
Oh, yeah.
104.3. Now you see what we're cooking up. Because I understand. A lot of people listening are like, 670 is classic. You can't go away from 670. We're just making it bigger and better. And it's already pretty huge. Coming up next, we will continue to talk about bears. Maybe a little bit. There's a little new news. Is that even a way to say it?
There's news as it pertains to the Chicago Bears and their stadium search. We can get into that a little bit. We'll still take your calls as well and your text messages, which have all been excellent. 312-644-6767. Rahimi Harrison-Grody on the score.
