Stream the show on the ESPN Chicago app. And on in there. 100.3 HD2. And on ESPN 1000 Chicago. No, no, no, no. David Kaplan and Jonathan Hood. Good morning, everyone. Bring 'em out. Bring 'em out. Bring 'em out. Bring 'em out. Bring 'em out. Bring 'em out. Bring 'em out. Bring 'em out. Bring 'em out. Bring 'em out. Bring 'em out. Bring 'em out. Bring 'em out. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Welcome in to the Captain G Hood Morning Show. On ESPN 1000 and we are streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. With David Kaplan, Jonathan Hood with you. We've got Shay. We've got Jay Moore. And we've got you for a three hour ride on this deal breakers Thursday. What open phone lines for you? 3-1-2-3-3-2-3-7-7-6 is our telephone number and cap. Tonight, it'll be the Bears and the Chiefs. Our coverage starts at 2.30 with Waddland Sylvie with their pregame. Extending all the way to 7.20 when the Bears take on the Chiefs for the last dress rehearsal for pre-season. Hoodie, I'm excited that we have football on our screen tonight. Very, very excited. Absolutely thrilled. But guess what? No Caleb. No Mahomes. No starters. Yeah, it's cool for Vailus Jones family that he's got a meaningful game to play tonight or Daniel Hardy or Wheeler. Yeah, super cool. And I wish those guys a great day and I hope it turns out just the way they want it to. But Johnny, have you done your due diligence? Uh, in what? Have you informed the people in your life, most notably the Grand Marshal of your home? That would be your beautiful wife, Michelle. Have you notified your family down in the Southwest suburbs that effective Saturday? You will no longer be available for family events on Saturdays from roughly 9 a.m. when Game Day starts through the late night West Coast football game, Hawaii and San Diego State and Utah and whoever else is playing, Arizona, all Sundays, Monday evenings from pre-gaming with a little Crown Royal through the end of the Monday night game. All Thursday nights, same deal. And then again, Friday night football back to Saturdays and Sundays. Unavailable until late February. Hmm. That sounds like a missive. I have not told them all that, but that sounds familiar with that story. That is where I am at. I will be informing my wife. Okay. We've been apart the last couple of days. She's got stuff going on and so do I. And when she walks in, I'm going to give her flowers and I'm going to give her a credit card that she can use on Ubers and let her know, hun, love the Grandkids dearly, love you, love our kids, love our life. But guess what? Effective week zero, that's Saturday. There will be large chunks of time. I'm unavailable unless she chooses to watch football with me. Okay. Football's back. So there was something that was a viral on TikTok that is similar to what you just laid out there about how a husband gives a wife a two-week notice that the National Football League is returning and he'll be unavailable until February. That's correct. So I find this interesting that, and again, this is a gone viral. You can find this on Facebook or anywhere else where the video shows his wife reading the letter. Callie, this is to inform you that two weeks from today is a start of the NFL season and the past several months, I've been engaged, loving, helpful and thoughtful husband and father. However, I must with remiss inform you that I am putting in my two weeks notice. Now, of course, if someone is reading that where a husband sends to a wife and putting in my two weeks notice, it's like, well, where is he going with this? Is this the end? Will that be all for our marriage? No, no, no. He's laying out that he will not be available for work on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday evenings, nor Thursday evenings due to conflicting commitments. I'll also be unavailable every Saturday due to the conflicting commitments between the hours of 10 a.m. and midnight the next morning. Correct. So be an effect until the end of February and early March. Thank you for your understanding. Okay. So here's the question. Do you believe that this guy's wife, Callie, will heed to this letter that she will, uh, to the letter, the law, not involve her husband in anything? Uh, boy, will she heed it? She's a beautiful girl. Uh huh. She seems to be taking it in good spirit. Um, there are also women out there that are row reversing that they are the one informing the husband. Now, if their husband is the other side of the argument and doesn't really get it, you know, get into the football and the wife does, I have no interest in knowing that husband. He's a loser. Um, oh man, I'm not calling my brother-in-law loser, but, but you just did times the shoe fits. You got to wear it because my sister-in-law, Lisa, my wife's sister, she's awesome. She lives in Dallas, Texas. She has for 30 years. Lisa has basically informed her husband, Jim, that, uh, do not disturb me when football is on. And I mean, I'm not talking about the Cowboys game or the Bears game. She's a Bears fan first because she grew up in the Chicago area and she's also a Cowboys fan because she lives down there, but they, they don't hold a lot of special meaning to her. It's, she's Bears first and foremost by a mile, but she's on that couch for NFL today. The Fox pregame. She is locked in and if I call her, she's a teacher. If I call her Sunday night at like nine, cause she goes to bed early during the rest of the year, she will be up, locked in on the Panthers and the Seahawks until that game is over. Yes, she's awesome. And so she's into football. I think that I can only speak for my household in which Peacock understands that Georgia football is on step by the way, like there won't be any Saturday brunch. There won't be some kind of afternoon. Swar a, it's just going to be college football, specifically Georgia. Like the first game is August 31 when we take on Clemson at 11 a.m. Okay, that'll be all. Don't ask for like any breakfast plans or anything like that. It's the first game of the season cap. So you have to be in a home in which the, your spouse understands a football's on, well, I've been waiting all year for this and now here it is. She has to understand that. And so because she lives with me, she understands that same thing with the bears. She would not dare schedule something against the bears game because you know what? It's not like she is unaware. She works for NBC. So she knows a schedule just like I know the schedule. So it's never a disconnect. I think that for the, the normal listeners that have a spouse, whether it's a woman or a man that's into football and the other person doesn't know the schedule, that's where the problem could be. Like, like for my household, she knows exactly don't bother me during Georgia football or cod football and don't bother me when the bears are on. And so, but what about that household cap in which you know the schedule, but she doesn't. And she's thrown off by it. Even though this happens every fall and winter. Correct. My wife knows when she married me, I'm a sportscaster, this is what it is, and she's awesome about it. Like literally we go out to dinner and the, my phone is set up. There's the Bulls game. There's the Cubs game. The whites, I, whatever it is, bears is a totally different deal. Like she will, I'll be like, where are you going, hun? We are going to brunch with the kids and I know the bears are playing so I didn't even ask you. Yeah. Mm-hmm. She's awesome. But when we go out, because I do this with you, I got recap to do on YouTube, I've got to be locked in. I got to see these games. So the iPad goes with the tea, the whatever, but she knows. Hey, she even said to me the other day, the bears season starts the eighth, right? Yep. Okay. I won't count on you beyond that. So. That's it. I can't count on you. That sounds sad. No way. I can't. No, it's like, no, it's the way he said it though. I understand. I can't count on you. She knows. Don't ask me to water the plants unless it could be done at like six or seven AM because I'm up early. I'll take care of anything you need then. But once I get locked in 10 30, there's, you know, we've got our pregame going. I got the AirPods on for that. I got the TV on. I got the red zone getting ready, warming up in the bullpen with Scott Hanson. When that stuff's all going, sorry, hun. Your second and and and Pico understands that footballs, footballs on in the hood cave and she's watching something. She's watching, you know, the catching up on big brother or something on lifetime. My wife will watch the bears a little bit. But if, you know, if she said, hey, I'm going to go run this errand or they're going, she's going to Costco. It won't dissuade her. Me? Come on now. That's it. And again, there are people in their car right now go, this guy's an idiot. This wife said they have to go do something with their grandkids. He's not going. That's correct. And my wife gets it. So it may not work for you out there. It works for us. Oh, there's plenty of people like us, Cap. And honestly, you are others who don't get it. I told you the story. We went to dinner with a couple of friends of my wife's and I just happened to make conversation with the guy who I had less than zero in common with. And for some people, that's a good thing. Okay, I get it. I said, fire it up for that game. You'll be locked in, right? Um, hun, can I watch the bears tomorrow and right away, I puke basically. I mean, you're asking permission. She said, absolutely not. You can tape it. I'm like, you don't tape live sports, especially when it's the bears. Come on. What are we doing here? She's like, we have to go to home depot. We're looking for tile. I'm like, you're a loser and we've never gone out with them since. That guy is always strange and you know who that guy is, Shay, that guy that you're rushing to get to someone else's home or you're getting that last beer run and you see just a guy just walking around, reading a book or with family five minutes before the game is supposed to start. Right. I think it's your kids in the stroller. Yeah. You're like, and you're just thinking to yourself, self you're like, why is that guy pushing that stroller? Why is that guy walking around? Let's say he's Hyde Park, walking around, reading a book, usually it's a University of Chicago guy. And it's kind of like Birkin stocks. Yeah. What a summer scarf in the fall. And you're just like, what are you doing? The game's about to start. How come I'm rushing to this guy's house to watch the game and you're just la di di da. The game is going to be on, sir. It's strange. Is it disconnect? Yeah. I mean, Cap and I have talked in the past, like I tell my wife once fall starts to catch you in February. I'll catch you in footballs over. This is don't be scheduling dinners. Don't be saying I'm going places to be with people. I'm not doing it. Do not commit me to any event. I'm very likely not like perfect example. One of our best friends moved to Cleveland and for a new gig, having a great time. We haven't seen him. So Labor Day weekend, two weeks from now, she's got this whole plan scheduled. We're going to go to Cleveland. We're going to hang out. We're going to have a great time. And I'm like, we're going to what? You want to go enjoy yourself. Take one college football Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. I'm at home. Do not include me. I hope you have a wonderful time. I hope you like have a great time together. My only dispute with you, hoodie, correct me if I'm wrong, was there was something that was fairly important in your life and you were going to stay home to watch like, you know, San Diego State against a one double A team and I'm like, all right, that's over the top. If it's that important to your wife. I get that bears game and NFL Sunday, even if the bears have a bi week, get the H out of here. But like she knows the deal too. If it's not a wedding or like a like a serious event, I'm not going. And she understands she's cool with it. Like I'm going to get married on a bear Sunday. I'm telling you, I'm going to I got a wedding weekend, two weddings in the same weekend a Friday night and a Saturday and I hoodie was then angry, hoodie and I were hanging out in the front of Holy Name Cathedral with my brother Bruce. My son Alex was getting married. Yes. We're checking scores. It's a Saturday and I had my phone in the church. Yes. I'm going through the scores. I got my bets in and then Sunday, because Alex is a stud, they had a reception for the entire wedding party, all the out of town people and guess what it was? It was a football watching party for the bears game. Yeah, we're at some bar yet with a spread of food and there's all the games on there's the reds of like, oh, I love you, man, you and Maggie are the greatest and Maggie comes up to you. It's my new daughter law for less than 24 hours. And she comes up, she's like, like my same game parlay today, I'm like, you have a same game parlay? Oh, my God, Alex married way up, so the question is, and that's going to be me. Ah, there it is, Jay Moore, August 31st, a little Georgia, a little Clemson, and we're at. It's going to be in Atlanta. That's what we call a neutral sight game in the south. Oh, boy, because there are people betting Clemson. I just read an article last night when I was doing some homework. There are sharps in Vegas that have Clemson at 65 to 1, 60 to 1 depending where you shop. I think circa has them at 60 to 1. Yeah, to win the title. I told you two weeks ago, if you just listened to me and my around the NFL's, I had them win in the ACC and the third seed in the playoff. That's right. You know what happens, Cap? Peacock will be on that midnight train of Georgia, she'll be leaving me. No, knowing that that will be all not trade to George and it'll be all cap as she leaves me. Not coming back. No, sir, she'll be going to Georgia while I'm watching Georgia like that is the discussion point. Look, I want to know are there women out there that have like my sister, well, Lisa, who have informed their husband, and it's been a great summer. Really enjoyed it. We love the heat. We get heat in Texas. I'll see you so long. That's it. Like we're going to Georgia like during the Bears by way, I heard so be talking to take a vacation during Bears by week. So am I. My wife has a big birthday. So the whole family is going somewhere and my sister Lisa is coming and and her husband. And I said, Lisa, it'll be fun to hang with you. I haven't done this with you like for several days in a while. And she said, here's the one problem. Why I hit send on my airfare. You do have it set up so we can watch football where we're going. Who are you talking to? It's me. Yes, there will be multiple screens on football. So let's let's open the phone line shade this morning 3123 to ESPN 3323776 is our telephone number. The question that Captain I want to ask you is, will you spend less time with your family because of football, ultimately, how how big is football in your household? Do you have to be able to clear the calendar, move stuff out of the way so you can be comfortable watching Bears football, whatever your favorite team is, we're just trying to get a gauge just based on this social media clip that's out there where everyone's saying, I will no longer be available on Sundays and also unavailable on Saturdays. Do you have to do that? Do you have to clear the schedule? Let's find out your thoughts on the cap and Jhood morning show. It's a cap and Jhood morning show on ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app as a deal breakers Thursday, but deal breakers coming your way at 835 right here on cap and Jhood. We're talking about that viral clip that's out there. It's on Facebook. It's on TikTok. It's everywhere else where a spouse tells his wife, I will no longer be available on Sundays and also gives that notice that he also won't be available on Saturdays until the end of February. So he's a college and pro football fan cap. And so look, you laid out the story in our first segment about how there are some people, some guys that are just kind of cursory football fans or just watch the bears and they just go away. We've talked about this before. There are some people that are listening to the show that are just 12 to 320 fans when it comes to football. Bears games off. All right, Han, let's go cherry picking. Let's go get the pumpkins or let's do a wine tasting. They put the sweater around their neck and they're gone. Oh, God. Seriously, cap. I mean, with the with the spare top cider shoes, I don't know those either. And by the way, God bless you, because at least your investment. But some people have a small investment in football or small investment in their college team. It's like us. And then it's us that just watch everything that gamble on everything that are just interested because we're rabid sports fans. It's a difference when you have the viral clip. It is freakin hilarious because you can hear her giggling like she's like, what is this? It was awesome. That was awesome. Cally, this is to inform you that two weeks from today is the start of the NFL season. The past several months, I have been an engaged, loving, helpful and thoughtful husband and father. However, I must witness inform you that I am putting in my two weeks notice. I will no longer be available for work on Sundays, 10 PM, 10 PM Monday evenings, nor Thursday evenings due to conflicting commitments. I'll also be available every Saturday due to conflicting commitments between hours of 10 AM and 12 AM the next morning. This will be infected and the February and early March, so you can't quit it, we're short-staffed. The best. She says, we're short-staffed. You can't wait. I want to be friends with that couple right now. Yes. Awesome. And I think that she understands. She understands. She does. That's what makes it so cool. Yes. So you just understand, like all of Sunday, so Monday night football, Thursday night evenings due to conflicting commitments, talking about Thursday night football on Amazon. So he's going to spend time with Al Michaels and Kirk Herb Street. And then Saturdays as well. It was hilariously well done by him and her. Really funny. It's just, I've told you, my favorite time of the year is the spring. And opening day for baseball comes because I know what's coming. Hot weather, the summer, being out on the lake, all of it. It's just masters, final four, opening day. Hey man, here we go, get to play golf and get, let's go. But, but, I am becoming a little more in line with you and Shay and Jay Moore that it's pretty, pretty cool because we got a good Bears team that, guess what? Football's back. Sure. There's an investment there. There's an investment there. And again, this is not one of those things where it's DVRable. It's just not. It's the Bears because you know it's going to be spoiled. I'll tape the Bears game. Are you sure it's not going to pop up? You're not going to get a text or you go through your social media and someone's going to spoil it for you? I mean, I mean, seriously, family is important. There's no question. However, football is right there at 1A during football season, especially for me as a college football fan. You know how I am, Cap, I'm watching game day. I'm watching the 11 o'clock kicks to 2 30s of six and chasing at 9 30 right to the Hawaii game at the end at 1 30 in the morning. Big fan because football is back. It's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. I'm more engaged than I have been and one of our great partners is circa. I've never been to the stadium swim. Sylvia was telling, dude, stadium swim is the coolest place in the world. And so they have a survivor contest and I've done the, you know, survivor contest that a buddy's running or you've done those and they're cool. You pick one team a week. If you win, you move on. If you lose, see you later. And I've been knocked out in week 16 and I've been knocked out in week one. Week one. I'm knocked out. I'm like, what? There was a big upset. God, half the pool done. And I am flying to Vegas after football fest on Sunday night. I am entering the circa survivor contest with my brother. You have to sign up in person and then you can hire a proxy. This year's winner expected to pay somewhere between eight and nine million dollars. But you, they said you'll basically have to run the table and hit all 18 weeks. So I'm signed up effective Sunday night or Monday morning and I am going to do this. And dude, what a great experience. Like you've got Georgia till this year. The bears were nothing, man. You had a champion every week. You knew whether you're playing middle Tennessee state or you're playing Alabama. You have the best team on the field 99.9% of the time. I got survivor. So will you spend less time with your family because of football? If you're on hold, you will be on the air three one, two, three, three, two, ESPN, three, three, two, three, seven, seven, six is our telephone number on cap and Jhood. And checkmate one six lanyard suppression on target, that's why I see him in my shot or no shot with cap and Jhood on ESPN 1000 and ESPN Chicago app. That's why I see him in my shot. Good morning and welcome in to the cap and Jhood morning show on ESPN 1000. And we're streaming on the ESPN Chicago app with David Kaplan, Jonathan Hood with you. Don't forget deal breakers comes your way at eight thirty five Tom Thayer. And an hour from now as we talk bears and chiefs, our coverage starts at two thirty right here on the home of the bears ESPN 1000 game time at seven twenty here. Shane Norley, good morning boys on the day of the final bears preseason game after today. It's all real. Very exciting. How we feel. Let's go. So fired up. Let's go. It's great. It's great because even though cap, I know how you and I both feel about the summer and you know that right now woke up this morning turned on the car 55 degrees. We know falls coming. We know the old Hawks coming yes. We know that the breeze is coming cap, but you know what football is here. It was inevitable, but we're here. We're ready, man, I'm excited it's and having Caleb, like it's just it just feels to like we were always like, God, I hope it figures it out. I cut where so pedestrian, you know, have a good game in a bag. Justin. Great athlete. All right. He played well today. Ah, he was terrible this game like sovie's article in Shaw media that he writes every week this week. Right. You know, Sylvia and I don't agree on everything. That's right. But his article is how he could go three or four plays or three or four dry. And then all of a sudden he does something and you're like, whoa, did you see that? Like there's something in there with Caleb that we have not had in our lifetime period. That's true. All that is our facts. He just laid out cap every bit of it. It is true. And we didn't feel a with Justin Fields. We didn't feel like there was going to be, there's going to be some dynamic plays. But with Caleb Williams, I think it also stems from his great college play as well. No question about it. So I think all of it is just going to be exciting to watch because it's new and fresh. You know, I didn't say you see something new, you're interested in finding out what does it look like? And same thing when it comes to Caleb Williams, you're just interested in finding out how does it look on a, on a 18 week basis in the NFL. Yeah. Yes, it does feel a little more legitimate than the stuff in the past. And I think a part of that is being the number one pick in the draft and the generational tag that was on him and all the hype since high school. It does like Mitch. What did he start? 13 games at North Carolina, you know, fields fell in the draft. This feels much more concrete. Yeah, it is. And it's our guy. Let's go. Man, if we only had Bryce Young instead. You're Shane. Well, boy, that tree just looks better and better. Yesterday, Chris, Chris Sims tweeted out a glowing endorsement of Rome, O'Dunze saying he's smooth with a lot of O's, more explosive than anybody really expected Rome to be and could actually elevate himself to being the number two receiver in the Bears depth chart behind DJ Moore. Obviously, that would move him ahead of Keynan Allen. Look, my instant reaction of Keynan Allen's, you're three. This room is a lot better than we thought it might be with like Rome's not going to have that Jackson Smith and Jig, but kind of average slower rookie year. He might hit the ground running and be an instant top receiver shot or no shot. The Bears could have the best wide receiver room in the NFL. That's a shot. A hundred percent shot. DJ Moore is a star. Keynan Allen. Keynan Allen's, what, hoodie, a six-time pro bowler? And Rome, O'Dunze, whether he's better than them both combined, whether he's third, that is the best wide receiver room in the national football league currently because Brandon Iyuk's not practicing. Deebo Samo's a really good football player, but three alpha guys like the Bears have, best. Yeah. I would agree with that. It's a shot as well. And the reason why cap is we can look at individuals like Justin Jefferson. He's the tippy top of the wide receivers in the NFL, but his room is not as deep. We say the same thing with Tyree Kill. We like what the Miami Dolphins are. I mean, with waddle, Tyree Kill, we know that Hill can be unstoppable as a wide receiver. But again, is the room as deep? Dallas Cowboys with CD Lam. Who doesn't like a CD Lam or who doesn't like Jamar Chase with Cincinnati? But again, it's about the quality and the depth. So that's why the Bears could be the best wide receiver core because individual accomplishments are one thing with some of these guys I mentioned, but with the Bears and their depth chart, you have three guys that can make a difference, I believe. It's unbelievable. And your guy, Tyler Scott, who you like got top end speed just got to take the next step. Let's go. Did you hear Tommy's thoughts, though, Shay Cap about Tyler Scott? I mean, so you trust the eyes of Tommy because he played the position at a high level. Yes. He talked about the kind of route running or just the approach that he takes to be able to catch a football. It has to improve. I thought that was very key in our waddle Wednesday show a couple of days yesterday. Because Tommy, Tyler Scott has top end breakaway speed. Tommy never was blessed with that. So he had to be a technician in how he ran his routes. And I remembered him telling me that his father that they called him the general Robert E. Lee Waddle, that's his name. He said, the general told him, Tom, you're going to get hit. So you may as well catch the football on top of it. And that's how he became so good because I said, and what do you catch the ball with? And he said, you catch the ball with your eyes, not your hands, not your chest. You look it into your hands with your eyes. And that dude did not drop passes. Shay watch Tyler Scott begin a chance tonight and his route running, especially if it's a deep ball, where he looks like he's chasing a paper airplane. So the football, especially if it's over his head and he's just trying to, it's the way he approaches trying to catch the football. I noticed that in the last game too. But Tommy makes a good point for someone who's learning at the position who played it. He wants Tyler Scott to be better when his route running and catching ability. I mean, that top end speed, everyone is not blessed with that. Hopefully, Tyler could be an impact player for the Bears at some point this year. Yeah, I think the good news for him is most of his routes are going to be straight lines. Just sit in the slot and run a scene. Let's go. Works on college football 25. Yeah, well, if they're in cover three hoodie, you know what to do for Brits. Brad Biggs wrote up that the Bears are looking for help at the defensive tackle position after whiffing on the Matt Judon trade effort. The Bears are now looking for answers behind Jervon Dexter and Andrew Billings and are combing the waiver wire potentially for them. Shocker. No shot. You hear this? That's going to be the end for Dominique Robinson. I'm not so sure about that Dominique Robinson's put on weight in a good way. He looks really, really good. But if they're looking for D tackle help, that's what you said, right? Yeah, they're looking for somebody more inside, but it does feel like like Dominique Robinson has put on weight. It kind of feels like that would be an option that they could move inside if they wanted to. If you needed something like Zach Pickens battling an injury right now, the depth they're so concerning, it feels like they have some internal options. I would think Dominique Robinson would be a part of that break glass and an emergency. The fact that they're going to go look for junkyard pieces tells me they're not that satisfied with any option they have in their building. Maybe in terms of interior play, and when you look at Dom Robinson, maybe they feel like really, really talented cat. We like where he's at in year three, but he's only going to play on the exterior, not the interior of that line. So Dominique Robinson is an end piece. Is he not right on right defensive end? Can he play left defensive end too? He's more of an edge. Okay. So, I understand what your point is, Shay, because at defensive tackle, you had to find out if Gervon Dexter's a guy. I would say it's a shot that they'll be looking at other pieces, as for sure. But Dominique Robinson, at this point in time cap, in front of me, is Demarcus Walker, Austin Booker, then Dominique Robinson's third on this depth chart. Okay. So Demarcus Walker is a guy that can be a little interchangeable, right? Yes. So because when they had him gokway and sweat, he would kick inside some or be a backup at one of the two edge positions. So read me the depth chart again. Walker is, we know he's going to start. It's Walker followed by Austin Booker, and then Dominique Robinson at the right defensive end. That's how the bookers flash, man. Yeah. I mean, give Shay is flowers. That kid from the University of Minnesota, because he's not allowed to say that he also played at Kansas, that kid has looked really good in camp and in preseason. It's really good. It's a shot that they'll be looking at other pieces, Shay, I don't think it's a shot that Robinson would be cut. I think they still like the kid as a rotation piece. Going to be tough to get snaps, go for legend, Austin Booker, stand on in his way. Now Noah Sewell, that's a different story. That'll be all. Boy. See, he's no Penne. Yeah. Well, that's for sure. Like that. I think that'll be all. But what we have to look at cap is, is a Greg Strowman or a Steve Baskerville going to be around. That'd be Micah, Steve's cousin. The weatherman. The weatherman's kid. It's actually Aaron Baskerville, because he was a basketball star. But Micah, you've got Sewell's been banged up like, it's going to be hard to make this roster, man. That's why you're scouring that cut down list, because if you look at the Bears and go, wow, Bears are only a seven win team at three the year before, and it's going to be really hard to make that roster. Does Daniel Hardy make it? What happens to Wheeler or what happens to Vailus? Somebody's going to pick these dudes up if they hit the street. See, I won't let hard knocks fool me. Just because they're featuring these guys, doesn't mean they're going to make the football team. Correct. I'm just saying, like, make some a bigger story when they get caught. That's all that is. We're pretty much set, though. I think we kind of know outside of a few pieces who's going to make the team who's not. That'll be all for Carter on the left guard, too. Here's Shay Norley. Talked about this a little yesterday. Cap alluded to something I want to get to the Tigers, a benched Havi Baez yesterday at Wrigley Field after a Golden Sombrero on Tuesday night. They instead played 24 year old shortstop trace Sweeney. He homered in the game. People are wondering if Havi Baez time in Detroit is over, whether it's in season now with the final month coming up or at the end of the year, they buy him out, figure out a way out of the deal. If Havi's time in Detroit is over, and he becomes a free agent and you can get him on the cheap shot or no shot, the Cubs should bring him back on a cheap flyer shot. He had great success here, embarrassing, absurd. So no one should give him a second chance. Just someplace else, Cap. That's all. He's literally not a major league baseball player. You know, maybe that's your team's fault, not his, or a combination of both. There's all I know is he was second for MVP here. Well, you understand though, Cap, I mean, the second time around is always the toughest. I just think that you heard the ovation from the fans for Havi Baez when he played a couple of days ago. That's the memory that Cup fan should have. Not the 32 year old guy that swinging out of his ass every time he comes to the plate. Not the good times be there for Baez. The cool slide, the swag that he brought to the Chicago Cubs. That's what you should remember. Don't bring him back here for this nonsense. Let's not do that. He's better than that. So you would not pick him up on a flyer for the league minimum because Shea's club's paying all the money. Yeah, I just, I think that the Cubs are better than that. I think they are. Don't do it for nostalgia for for sloppy seconds of Baez. The Cubs are better than that. Why can't I take him and let go of wisdom, who's terrible? He was a key pinch hitter of the other night. Yeah. Yeah. Yesterday. Havi is terrible. The key pinch hitter, but Shea, Havi had success here. We're not talking about, yeah, he's through 40. He was second for MVP. He still elite defensively. He's not only defensively anymore by the metrics and cap. That was seven years ago. He was second for seven years. It's been like just a piece, not a starter. I'm asking him just to be a, you know, a bench guy. I know you guys. John Mayley, here's the hitting coach, assistant hitting coach. Maybe he can unlock him again. Cap, just let it go. If I had to wake up in Detroit every day, I probably wouldn't be good at my job either. Margie and Greco joining us on cap and J. I think go quite to that level. I mean, pretty close. I mean, there's no reason for that shot. There's no reason for that. There is no benefit to bringing Havi and other than the fans get to go down memory lane. And then three months later, they'll all hate him because he's just able to do the same thing he always does. That's why let the good memories be their cap. You don't need that. You don't need that. By the way, if I had my brothers have a choice against what the young Bush or wisdom in that spot, I would give Bush the opportunity for the ad bet. Same here. I would have. Same here. Yeah. There's numbers down that wasn't that privy to watching the game. But the idea you bring in Patrick wisdom was a two one pitch fly out to left field, something like that. He's got six homers this year. This. What are we doing here? I didn't like that. A buck ninety something fun. Nice guy. Good family, man. That'll be all. Yeah. So that's a no shot for me, Shay. That's it. Like he goes someplace else, but I think that bias people still love Havi for what he brought to the championship team. That's how it should stay right there. And that in that tribute video was awesome for bias in an environment all against against the Cubs, but still he took a beat, took his helmet off. He waved to the crowd the other day. I just thought that was awesome. That's good for him. That day he took John Lackey of the then Cardinals deep, deep into the right center field bleachers in the NLDS three run Jack will advance. Thank you. See you later, St. Louis. Take that. Yeah. So that's why that's a great memory. Those memories are done if he comes back in the Cubs uniform. That's all. All right. Coming up around the NFL and don't forget deal breaker. What do you man at? Get on board with Havi back as a cup. No, you have all of a sudden he recaptured some of the glory, norling would be this beside himself. See, it's not even about that. You just want to stick it to Shea and that's not right. Pretty much. Okay. Well, I'm being practical as a baseball man telling you that that's enough. You bring him back here. We have him deal. Yeah. Hold on a second. It's Dave. Miles, master of body can play as much as he played Havi's better than him. He's not. He's not. He's not. He's not. His OBS is like 504. He's the worst player in the sport. He's not. Take that. Master of only better than bias. How about that? Yeah. That's not coming up deal breakers at 835 on cap and Jhood follow Chicago's home for sports on Twitch at ESPN 1000 Chicago. Captain Jay Hood are back on Chicago's home for sports. ESPN Chicago, it both sucks. He sucks. I'm just a fan. I'm not a football evaluator. I love the Green Bay Packers. The guy is from. But there we go. This is not Detroit, man. This is the Super Bowl. I love Winter. He starts to come at home. This is a really thickly built guy. I mean, what's the answer you're looking for on these things back, huh? It's time to go around the NFL right here on cap and Jhood with you till 10 o'clock the green comes in followed by Carmen and Yurco and then bears pregame would waddle and sell the two 30 the Bears network pregame at five bears in chiefs at 720 then our post game show with Peggy and Yurco will we go deep into the night with Miller and Pat the designer? That's the hope. We go around the NFL. Here's Shane or like Shane. All right. I want to start with some news yesterday. The Denver Broncos made their starting quarterback official. It will be rookie bow. Next. I have looked to preseason games and probably overreacting, but he just looks prepared, comfortable, patient, everything you want to see from a quarterback. He's efficient in passing, gets digs that back foot in, steps up, rips the ball over the middle. Everything you want to see. Now they've made it official. He's the starter. Anybody starting to come to my side? This might be the second best of the rookie quarterbacks in year one. Bow. Whoa. Next. Great haircut. Good shave. Sure. Kid. He's married. He's how many years he played hoodie? Five college. Seemingly. Yeah. That's four or five. He's already 32 years old. Yeah. He's got a mortgage. Three kids. Bow next. But but you like the mileage though, Cap, it's not so much where it's like boy, that's an old timer that can't get it done. This is perfect for Sean Payton because he feels like he's working with a veteran, even always a rookie, a veteran because of how many teams he's played for in college in the situations he's seen. He's seen a lot. Yeah. He's a very polished guy and I was watching the interview with Sean Payton yesterday and don't like when he says how they hoodwinked the Raiders. The Raiders weren't taking him and we call them to see if they wanted to trade up because we're trading back, making it seem like they're not going to take the quarterback and then zoom. They took the quarterback. He said we were worried about the Giants, they didn't take him and so they're all excited that they got him. So we'll see. I don't know if he's the second best. There's a lot of love out there, a lot for Jaden Daniels. We'll see how that goes. I've seen multiple people picking him to be offensive rookie of the year. I don't agree with that. I think that goes to Caleb if he's healthy, but phonics are talented, good, talented kid. You know what? The process of elimination too, would you rather have to work with Bowniks or work with Jared Stidham or Zach Wilson? I mean, you think Zach Wilson would be like, you know, at Fresh Start, here I go. No, that's what he is, Cap. He's a backup. I don't think he ever even had a chance. I think Payton was all in on Bowniks from the get go. All in. Here's Shane Orlett. Yeah. I'm also some drama New England now, head coach Gerard Mayo said, Drake May, 100% ready to go. Could start week one and Tom Brady's going to be a little angry because these rookie quarterbacks are going to start and just like I'm did the exercise yesterday, historically, when you're taken in the first round and you're not sitting behind a proven quality veteran, you start if you're a quarterback. Jacobi Brissette stinks. He's stunk all preseason. He's stunk basically his whole career. He sees a nobody, Drake May should start, right? Not necessarily. If he's 100% ready per the head coach, he should start. If he's 100% ready, but the bottom line is you're not winning the Super Bowl this year. So it's not about is he ahead of Jacobi Brissette or whoever else is in camp. It's what's the best thing for the development of the guy we've cast our lot with as our next starter, whether if they believe he won't be affected or he's ready to go play him. But if, oh boy, I wish we didn't have to, but Jacobi doesn't look good, you're not winning anyway. So the development of Drake May is paramount. 100% correct. It is 100% correct, cap. And I like Drake May. Hell, she almost collapsed on us when Drake May fell to the Patriots. They call it an ambulance because he had prayed that that would happen for because he's looking for a franchise quarterback. And again, Bailey Zappi, Jacobi Brissette, Drake May, Drake May is the guy. And sorry, Tom, that's not how that's just how it works. We could do it. We could do the exercise cap of saying, all right, Bailey Zappi for 18 weeks. Could you win more games with Drake May learning on the job or Bailey Zappi who's been there and done that? Right. If you tell me Drake May is going to go six and 11 and Bailey Zappi is going to go five and 12, but it's going to help Drake May to not play at the start, then you play you, Shay, Jaymore, me, or Bailey Zappi. That's a no-brainer, whatever's best so that that kid for the next decade is ready to go. That's how it's done. Shay, are they cutting Brissette or moving along so Zappi could be too? Oh, God. Don't get Zappi the hell out. I was wondering. You got to cut Zappi. Oh, cut Zappi. Okay. Zappi's got to go. I feel like if Brissette stinks, Zappi's awful, awful. He's cute and puts, you could put him in your pocket. Jacobi Brissette's just cooked product. He's older. He's just, he's a journeyman, nobody. He's Mitchell Trubisky. And Bailey Zappi is not an NFL player. He's awful. How about that, Cap? Bailey Zappi, not an NFL player. I mean, this guy in New Orleans. This guy. How can you say that about a Bailey Zappi? Not an NFL player, he said. Some guys aren't, like, sorry. Wow. Here's Jay in New Orleans. Interesting conversation on sportsmen like this morning with the disappearance of Jim Harbaugh, Nick Saban, others from college football. They were asking, is there a villain in New College football? No urban mire, no Jim Harbaugh, no Nick Saban, Alabama, we think, takes a little bit of a step down. Georgia maybe hasn't hit that peak of consistency, just like winning a massive dynasty to be a national villain yet. Does college football have a villain? What did I say yesterday? It's a nine o'clock hour when we were talking about blank. Which college coach were we talking about yesterday? Was it Davo? My mind always jumps to Davo. We did. Oh, Pete Carroll? No, we talked about my Gundy. Great. We did. We talked about Pete getting a new job as a professor at USC. We did talk about a little Davo, but you're right, but my Gundy was the guy you highlighted. We talked about my Gundy on three different levels, the whole thing of him talking about how the portals closed, don't look for any more money, football season. We talked about that. That's the guy because even before the season, he's been quoted twice. Don't forget the other thing too, the drunk driving thing, right? That one was rough. His player got caught for DUI and goes, "I've drank more than that." Just on a regular basis, something along those lines. That was reckless. That was a tough quote. I still think that players ringing up his phone with the portal closed in camp asking for more money. I feel like more people agree with Gundy than don't on that one. I just think that if you're looking for a guy with a black hat, it's him. I wish his program was better, so he'd be more relevant, but he's just going to be a guy there, kind of like Huggy Bear Cap, just in the program forever. He's Huggy Bear. You can't touch him, right? He's that guy. Right. Gundy can be in that job for another 30 years with that bad hair and those bad quotes. But he cut the hair. The hair's cut. The mullet's still there. Isn't it? It's still a mullet? No. No mullets? Unless he's regrown at the picture I saw him playing golf this summer, the mullet's gone. I would say if you're looking for a villain, that's that guy. I can't do it with Gundy. Just personally, I can't look at Gundy as a villain. He's like, "What if Kirk Farrence were better?" The guy wins 9 and 1/2 games a year at Oklahoma State, the second program in the state. He's going to be there forever. He's a legend. He's the best head coach they'll ever have. Model a consistency. They don't always win the big 12, but they seem to always be in it. Has he never gotten, he's never been in the playoff, right? No. Got on the doorstep. So he's not like my boy is, because you're the second best program in your state. And that's not a shot. Second best basketball program? I don't think so. I don't think so. Michigan is more highly regarded than Michigan State, right? Correct. Sure. And you've got this Hall of Fame legendary awesome coach in his. Now he's won a national title and gone to 7 billion final four, so that's more success than Mike Gundy, but Mike Gundy's legendary down. Didn't he play there? Gundy's more like Dantonio was at Michigan State, the guy that comes in and kind of reverts a consistent program that can contend for a conference title at another level. Yeah. Is those too good to be like Mike Gundy's more Kirk Farron's Mark Dantonio, but with the longevity of a 30 year career there Oakland third in that list by the way of Michigan. The Golden Grizzly. Yes. Greg campy. Yes. Far. Who's the basketball coach at Michigan that replaced John Howard? Oh, I can't think of the guy's name. I'll look it up because he's heard on the list and the guy from FAU, right? Oh, yeah. Dusty May. Yes. Thank you. Okay. So he's gone to a final four, but I would argue with you in basketball, just basketball. It goes Izzo by a mile. And then it goes Greg campy. The first year at Oakland has gone to multiple tournaments at Oakland. Yes. One, six hundred games and then it's Dusty May. Yes. What do we chat? Is Oakland University a better basketball program than the University of Michigan. I'm talking about the coach. I'll take Dusty May. Oh, wow. Then you're wrong. But some of the phone lines here, the ticket, three, one, three. Right. What are we doing? How did we get there? I'm asking if college football's got a villain. We're talking about Dusty May versus Greg campy. How did we get here? He's been drinking. Oh, no, he's been drinking. You could people know he's been drinking a lot, a lot of bourbon. Okay. He's the Elijah Craig down for the lovely God. He said. We're going a lot this week. We're trying to call Davos Sweeney a villain. I've been drinking St. Elmo's bourbon. Talked so good. Yeah. Yeah. You know, we know this, right? The staff knows you've been drinking a lot. Man, I'm from heaven. Oh, is that a new bourbon? Coming up, we will give you deal breakers in time. They are at nine on Captain Jay Hood.
