What questions should be asked at Ryan Poles' NFL Combine press conference?
Mahaney, Harris, and Grody.
Could you imagine Lovey Smith doing the whole good, better, best thing and saying bleep the Packers?
Come on, guys. Good, better, best. Never let it rest.
Never let it rest.
I'll see you on Tuesday. Middays 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score.
This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. Thanks again to Jack O'Callaghan for joining us in our last segment to talk about Olympic men's hockey team gold medal. And yes, congratulations to the women, too. Their first gold since 2018. That was in South Korea. So two goals for the Olympic men's and women's hockey team.
Megan Keller and Jack Hughes, come on down. They're the two that scored the game-winning goals.
I like it. I like the, but the problem is we're like, come on down to what? We have no game show for that.
I was hoping you wouldn't question me on that.
Oh, darn. Sorry.
I let it ride, Brody. I just want to, I let it ride.
I don't know where, come on down. I have no internal monologue. Okay, so.
That's sad.
That's a quote from Austin Powell.
Oh, okay. I thought you meant you personally do not have an internal monologue.
Oh, no.
I know there are people who do not, and I'm like, I don't know how it would function without my internal monologue.
As a happily single woman, sometimes these are the only words I speak all day, are the ones to my coworkers and on the show.
And that's it? You just shut it down the rest of the day? You hit the mute button, the Layla mute button?
I'm just working on stuff in silence. I don't know. I'll go home and work out and stuff and then live my life.
Do you talk to yourself? You wouldn't know.
I sometimes read what I've written out loud to see if it makes sense.
I think when I found out people didn't have an inner monologue, I was like, what do you mean? Isn't that what thinking is? But I guess it's not for some people. And I had more questions.
Is that good or bad? That'd be a very peaceful, like if you don't have stuff running through your brain all the time.
No, no, no. That just means you say it all out loud.
Oh, wow. Which can be good or bad.
That's probably bad. I'm going to be honest.
I share that with you every day from 10 to 2. That's enough, right?
That's fair.
I also have internal monologue about the NFL Combine because I said this earlier and we asked the question, what are your biggest questions for the Bears when it comes to what their plans are? And I'm going to offer this. Not that I mean to be residing in Lawrence Holmes' worry town, But when you don't have as much draft capital and, frankly, salary capital as the Bears have had in the past few years, you remember how it's like the road to the NFL offseason goes through the Bears. They got the first overall pick. They got all this cap money. They can do whatever they want. And then it was exciting. The world was your oyster. They don't have that this year. According to OverTheCap.com, they're about $5 million over the cap.
They also have the 25th pick in the draft. So that's when business becomes crucial. So this is a new challenge for this front office. What are you going to decide is the most important thing? Because now 25 gets even more crucial as to how you try to fix your team. That's still in a lot of ways is not where you want it to be.
No offense to Mark Grody and Dan Weider and all the people, but I believe taking the North is much easier than keeping the North because the way the NFL is designed, it's supposed to be, you know, every week, one score games. Schedule changes every year. And now they're going to have a first place schedule. And building a roster good enough with the blank canvas you just described was very... Not easy, but it's easier, in my opinion, to do that than to not only establish greatness, but to maintain it. And so, much like you, Layla, my internal monologue goes wild thinking about, okay, well... if you got this much money in your defensive line, how are you going to now improve your defensive line?
If all these people are not on the books as safeties, what are you going to do about your safety position?
