What are the Bears' chances of acquiring Maxx Crosby?
This hour is brought to you by Vasectomy Clinics of Chicago. Rahimi Harrison-Grody. 10-2 on 104.3 The Score. In my snoopings, I noticed that the Lions on the player survey, the offensive coordinator got a C. Do you think Ben Johnson knows that? Looked it up and has pinned it up? Maybe just on the refrigerator with a magnet on there? Just a C? Grade C? Because you know he's still pissed off about that 50 burger. There's no way. He got swept. He was also really upset about the last game of the regular season. Can you say a simpler game plan? Hold him back at all? Nope. Come on, Ben. What do you think about that? Huh? Taking your shirt off at the Bulls game? You think this is funny? No. You think this is some kind of game?
I'm sorry. Making jokes about your quarterback? What do you think this is? He's saying, you want a piece of me? I could drop you like a bag of dirt. You want a piece of me? You got it! I imagine he's going to get Cubs season tickets this year, which will be a blast to see him with his shirt off in the left field bleachers. Why do you think he's in the left field bleachers? Absolutely. Right field sucks. Good, bad, or best. It's over, Denver. South Park whooped your ass. You better shut your mouth before I shut it for you. What do you want to do, huh? I think Ben Johnson's having fun. Flashes the camera at the Bulls game. He's outside. He's telling people how much he loves Tyson Bajent. He's driving around from Indianapolis back to Chicago for the Combine.
He's just out here. He's doing things. When does he go back to being that dude, though? The scary dude. Training camp. Yeah. OTAs. So, OTAs. Maybe minicamp. Listen, it's kind of scary to see him turn it on and turn it off. Like, he's got this public persona, as you mentioned at the Bulls game. I mean, you could argue he sparked a 27-0 run. Like, there are things happening right now with Ben Johnson that if you go back, what, three months? Yeah. It's a different person than I remember being stern with everyone about everything. I think coaches are right when they say players will test you. You know, players will see what they want to get away, what they can get away with, I should say.
How would Maxx Crosby impact the Bears' Super Bowl aspirations?
And you have to, especially after... a training camp last year where they said steps were skipped that you you'd better bring it so i i trust that he knows when to turn it off and when he's allowed to to have a good time how much of a good time do you think you would have if the bears got max cross i was about to ask you the same question I don't know that my brain right now is ready to bend to understand and comprehend what Ben Johnson would be like at a Max Crosby introductory press conference. And yes, we have probably been the show here on 104.3 The Score who has carried the Max Crosby flag. The first show, we've had it the longest. We have run with that flag. I think at this point we're doing laps around Soldier Field.
We love us some Max Crosby talk. And our listeners do, too. I think it's their favorite non-bear. I think he's number one. But I don't know if it's chicken-egg, if it's correlation-causation here, but DraftKings now has the Bears as the favorites at plus 200 to get him from the Raiders. Via trade. Is this the same as when the Bulls were the favorites to land Giannis Antetokounmpo? Is that the same vibe? Probably, because here's the other highest marker on the board, second highest. Staying put with the Raiders is a plus 350. So the Bears are more favored to get Max Crosby in the betting markets than Max Crosby staying with the Raiders. Is that you putting your money where your hope is? Is that what's happening here?
Is this like when people started to bet on the Bulls in 2021 and 2022 when they had that nice run where DeMar was just hitting game-winning threes? And it was good money. It was a good bet to buy to have them win the Eastern Conference, which they certainly did not win. I put money on the Bulls this year, so don't ask me about that one. Marshall, how did that go for you? It did not go well, but we can get to that later.
