Why is Kyler Gordon’s calf injury causing panic among the Bears’ front office?
Rahimi and Grodi. Appreciate all the flowery comments there. Middays ten a.m. to two on the score. Score scores. We we have um almost the entire roster fighting their tails off to get back out on the field.
Uh, that just becomes more and more concerning the more I hear it. Speaks is firing up the crowd of wildfire for the Ben Johnson passive aggressive comment about Kyler Gordon.
I was actually applauding Tyler Butterball for grabbing that, isolating it, and playing it to come in. I think it's a beautiful drop. And the crowd, which is awesome, thought I was revving them up. So that's what you got. Let's rev our crowd up. Hey. Nico Horner's like what thirty minutes away? Yes, we're excited. Yes, we are
excited with our chalk talk with Nico Horner. That is why it is Rahemian Spiegel today. We are broadcasting live from Wildfire in River North today, where people are enjoying a delicious meal. Also keep listening for your chance to win a pair of three day general admission tickets to see twenty one pilots, Toole, Peel Savale, and more riot fest. I believe Atlantis Moore Set's also there. I
think so. And Elvis Costello. Yeah, there's
and bowling for soup. Oh
man.
A Denton County band, sir. Oh, look at this. Yes, yes, I'm excited to see them for tickets and more info. Go to RiFFest.org. Tickets provided by Riot Fest.
What did Brad Biggs say about Gordon’s likelihood of playing this season?
We've been waiting for this. We wanted to wait until we had all the information in front of us about what exactly Ryan Poles had to say about Kyler Gordon. So let's let's reestablish some of what we know already. I sent a picture of a computer screen to our friend Matt. Matt Spiegel, because I thought it was important to note the the uh the nugget that Brad Biggs had on Saturday. Yeah. Yeah. Just in case you forgot it. This is the last part of a three paragraph blurb he had about Kyler Gordon, where Brad Biggs says, There's also nothing that convinces me Gordon will for certain play football for the Bears this season. Johnson won't give more than one or two word replies when asked about him. Teammates have described Gordon's situation as quote bizarre, end quote.
Man, it it's i nobody's really getting anything, at least on the record, that they can share. And you know Biggs and all of the journalists surrounding this thing are digging in with every relationship they have and every fiber of their journalistic being and they're not getting anything. So really what you're getting is clearly the coach is pissed off. And clearly the player doesn't want to say anything. How about the thing that Kyler did with Mark Grody where he's like he's like, Yeah, I've got something to say but not yet and he told Grody that he could say that he had something to say but not yet. What does he have to say?
On the scale of one to Nate Davis ping pong, where does that sit with you? About a nine.
About a nine. Yeah, this thing has gotten really ugly. So that's why we're all kind of desperate with that as the backdrop to hear how Ryan Poles, the man who drafted him, win. Yeah. Great draft pick. And then signed him to an extension. So far, disastrous as an extension. I mean the guy like he wasn't there for you last year. Missed fourteen games. And then he got dressed and was gonna play and in pregame decided he couldn't play in a massive, massive moment of your season. So and now here we are with absolutely nothing in the offseason.
How did Ryan Poles describe the disconnect between the Bears and Gordon?
So we need to know how Ryan Poles feels about it.
That said, let's listen to Ryan Poles speaking to the media earlier today.
With Kyler, are you convinced he's going
to play for you? I don't know. Um I would hope so. I still have hope there. Um he's gonna have to continue to to work hard and and get back to playing football again. What specificity can
you
give us
about what's
going on here? Yeah, I really can't. Um I think when people come back from injuries there's different things that happen. Um sometimes they they return fast, sometimes it's slow. So it's really a timing thing and and a healing thing and um confidence thing. Um so I really don't. I wish I did. Right. But We'll see.
Dude. That's that's way worse than the quotes read.
