Kap & J. Hood
9/5 8 AM: Dealbreakers
Live from State Street in the heart of Chicago. You are listening to the new home of the Chicago Bears. ESPN Chicago. And this is Captain Jay Hood. W-M-V-P-W-T-B-C-H-D-2 Chicago. A good karma brand's radio station. Checkmate 16, land use suppression on target. That's why I see him in my shot. Shot or no shot with Captain Jay Hood on ESPN 1000 and ESPN Chicago. Good morning and welcome in to the Captain Jay Hood morning show on ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app with David Kaplan, Jonathan Hood with you. Now time for shot or no shot. Here's Shay Norley. Good morning boys, NFL football is back, season opener tonight. I bid a due to my wife last night. When I told her goodbye, I'll see you in five days, five straight days of football. How are we feeling? Wow. Feeling great. How about that? He's not going to talk his wife. He bid a due to her. Yeah, I mean super cool that he gets to do that. I'm not going to really pay attention. Saturday, it's one of the last Saturdays of gorgeous weather. Might be a little chillier than my taste, probably much more for Shay's taste. You're more with me. You like the heat. It's going to be like 61 on Saturday. Not great. But it'll be sunny, I'm not going to be cooped up inside. Watch your college football. No. How about that? He bid a due to his wife, you know, an all honesty cap. I haven't spoken to my wife in four years. I know that comes to a shock to you. I haven't spoken to her for years. I don't want to interrupt her. Here's Shay Norley. Shay. Wow. Is that Rodney Dachshoe? No, I'm just. Wow. That was good. Here's Shay Norley. Okay. Excellent. Okay. All right, Adam, John's of the athletic, wrote up yet a conversation with pairs defensive coordinator, Eric Washington and defensive backs coach, John Hoke about Eber Flus. Both guys compared Flus to Lovey Smith and both guys worked with Lovey Smith. They said Eber Flus in film rooms is holding quote unquote loafs accountable. Loafs basically meaning lazy players. If you look lazy on film, we're going to blast you in front of the team. We're going to get up on you about it and hold you accountable. They said that's what Lovey Smith used to do when he was coaching the Bears. We have seen some of the impact of this. I think this was the most intense training camp, like more energy, more intensity out of the Bears at Alice Hall all off season. Shot or no shot. Matt Eber Flus has revived the Bears locker room. That's a shot. Just talk to the players. These guys really, really liked playing for him. They said he'll hold you accountable. He is fair. He treats you like a man. If you watched the other day, I watched the hard knocks like you guys did where he said be on time, be respectful. What was the third one? Play hard. I think that was it. He goes, that's it. We don't have any other rules here. Don't disrespect the organization and play hard. Period. It's easy. It's not like, well, make sure you don't have sunglasses on in the facility. Make sure your hair is cut to the-- he doesn't care if you grow your hair down to your ass. Play. I think that's a shot. I also, I would say that better players in there can help him hold the team accountable as well. Like when you have-- you add more veterans to the team and you feel like you've got a team that you like as a base, but when you add a new veteran to the team cap, that also helps hold the team accountable. And he reflects being part of that, I think, is-- that's a positive. He's like, you know what? I feel like I'm empowered now because I have veterans that know me and I think they'll heed what I've got to say. Yep. I agree. I think that all helps. I think that's all a shot. Shay? Last season, we saw something really rare in the NFL. A rookie quarterback worked his way into the MVP conversation. CJ Stroud led the Texans to a division title that nobody expected. And at the end of the year, obviously didn't win it. It went to Lamar. But CJ Stroud was right in the conversation around the most valuable player award, not just offensive rookie of the year. The athletic put out some bold predictions for the season 2024, including Kayla Williams will repeat CJ Stroud's accomplishment and be an MVP caliber player at the end of the season. Shot or no shot. Kayla Williams will be an MVP contender. That is a no shot. And the reason why is because again, he is a rookie and he's going to make some mistakes. For it to work sonically all together at one time, that'd be awesome. That means that he and Waldron are on the same page. That means Kayla Williams and Mattie Riflous are on the same page, that all of his weapons and the offensive line, everything works in concert. And I don't know if that all happens in one season. MVP candidate, I don't think so, rookie of the year. That was my prediction because I think he'll be that good. But MVP, I think that's a little bit of an overstatement at this point. What makes you an MVP candidate, top 15 in the voting, top 10, where you got to be? Oh, top 10 at least. I mean, you got it like we have to get to December and be having similar conversations to what we were saying about Stroud where it was like, he might not just win rookie of the year. He might win MVP. Yeah. I'm going to say shot. I'm going to say shot. A, and again, every week, it's a week to week league. You can look at the schedule and go, Oh God, we've got to play the Titan or the Texans in Houston. Isn't it a Sunday night game? It is. Okay. And all of a sudden, CJ Stroud pulls his hamstring and he's not playing. The game is a totally different game or you may be playing a team that you feel like the Patriots. Oh, we're going to crush them. Oh, wow. We're missing seven starters because Andrew, like that's the difference in this league, the margin of error. But I'm going to say if he's healthy shot, he finishes top 10. All right, Jay. I mean, again, we're talking about Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen and CJ Stroud and Jalen Hertz, maybe there's Jared Goff, there's Dak Prescott. Is it Prescott your guy for MVP? Yes. Okay. I mean, Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey. I mean, it's a long list. The first thing is that the reason why I would not have him in the top 10 cap is because it's such a talented league. It is. Oh, God. It just everywhere you look, man, there are cornerstone athletes that are difference makers for the team. And I'm just saying that Caleb Williams, if it's not going to be this year, I think eventually it'll happen, but this is just me saying I just want to see him be able to navigate his way through the NFL to be able to learn defenses and to be able to help the Bears get to the playoffs. MVP. I need that right now from him. I got to need 4,000 yards, but I need for him is to stay healthy and not turn the ball over as much and learn on the job and excel at this position as quickly as possible. All right, Jay. All right. Yesterday in baseball, Matt Chapman signed a six year, $151 million extension with the San Francisco Giants to be their third baseman going forward. Chapman has a 121 OPS plus this season, 22 home runs. He is a six war player at a position where the Cubs have a full season of zero point zero war in 2024. Chapman is also a guy David Kaplan railed against the idea of signing in the off season, but shot or no shot. It's time for cap to admit the Cubs should have signed Matt Chapman. No shot. I'm not. He's 30. He'll be 32 next year in April. I'm not giving us. What did he get? Six years? No shot. He'll want a 32 year old third baseman who offensively he's very average, 69 RBI's he hit 240 something. He's elite defensively. There's no question about that in elite defensive third baseman six years, $151 million hard pass for me. That's a great job by Scott Boris's agent. I don't know how he got that. That many years. Like if you said, he got a three year deal, he's going to be 35 at the end of, okay, six. God bless him. Being a six war player pays again. It's because of his defense, not his offense. But I mean, that's still a positive on the on the field, though, Cap plus the other problem is just go ahead. What were we told by multiple people in the game? One of whom being a GM that you and I talked to, yeah, yeah, he said. The problem with the city of San Francisco, they've got such problems in the city. They can't get people to take their money, everybody that they've gone after, they've got a grossly overpay to get him to say that's part of this deal here. Yeah, I, you know, again, what what she has is the numbers. And he's got to put side by side parades against Chapman again. That war number, whether it's offensive defense, that's good to have. No question about it. Like if I told you Chapman or Chris Morel, Chapman's a better player. But again, I'm not given a 32 year old next April, six years, I'm not. How close do you think you are to winning with the Cubs? What should be a contender next year? But this winter's important to saying like, you know, again, you do side by side numbers with those. You got to understand that Chapman does bring a lot to the table. Now, again, maybe $151 million in 60 years is too much for you to swallow. But someone's going to pay them just because he's a Boris guy and indeed does have value. But I would bet you there's not another team in baseball that would give him that deal. I don't know that. Yeah, I don't know that either. And I'm not even making that. I'm making the point of the Cubs who'd signed him to the one year deal that he got signed to in the off season. I think they'd be a playoff team right now. I do not. You'd get six wins above replacement at a position where you have zero points. Zero for the season. You still have a closer. You still blew 23 saves. It didn't matter. You blew 23 saves, but you didn't lose all 23 games. You lost 16 of them. Okay. So let's reasonably convert those into wins instead of just going at 23 more W's if you don't blow all the saves. I'm not saying 23 more wins. They'd be a hundred win baseball team then at the end of the year. But if you had saved eight of the 16 games that you ended up losing when you blew one of the 23 saves, eight more wins would be a totally different team. The fact you did not have a closer is unconscionable and I'll scream it from the mountain tops. That's true. I also would say your seventh, eighth and ninth, along with your ninth inning, you're seventh and eighth or anything to write home about either. They have been the last two months. Yeah. But the first three months. Terrible. Let's just meet in the middle. Okay. Let's just meet in the middle with this with Matt Chapman. If you felt like the Cubs were close and you can get a deal that is better than six years, 151 from your standpoint as a Cubs, right? If it wasn't 151 cap, you'd sign Chapman because you wouldn't have to worry about that position. Parades has been underwhelming at third. He has no question. He's been underwhelming and you say need some seasoning. I don't know if that gets better offensively because it's like, well, you made the deal because you felt like Morel was a minus player. I get it. Jesse got Morel out of here. I think we all know that. Wow. Well, he did. I mean, going back and forth with council about swinging for the lake, that was that was off of Morel. At that point in time, done when Jesse says that Morel is swinging for the lake and council said that's a bad take. Jesse, he was done after that. Okay. So what I'm telling you is, is that at the hot corner, you want to have someone you can rely on. And despite the number, Shay, again, 247, 333, 445, as far as his line, there's still good things about Chapman that she'd like to have. You don't have to worry about third base. His offense is not bad at all. He's a 121 OPS plus. Okay. He's 21% at all. This is a 111 OPS plus. And a 0.04. I'm just making the point. He's actually a 2.2 war this year. Not at the Cubs. I don't care what he did in Tampa. You don't get the two wins that he got for Tampa. My point is, is that if you had a better deal, you would consider Chapman too. No, not. Yeah. If I got a better deal, yes. But I'm not, I'm not signing a 32 year old player to a six year deal. I understand your point about a better deal. A better deal. And if you felt like you were close, right, but the better deal didn't exist to saying, I'm just saying, I said, if the night you did, and I'm looking, if you look at last year, Paredes, 31 home runs, 98 knocked in the year before he had 20 home runs in his first full time job as a starter played 111 games in Tampa, right? In Tampa. Then last year, 143 games. He hit 250 31 98 and an 840 OPS, a 131 OPS plus a gap. Sometimes the bright lights are wriggly or too much for players. Could be. Well, I want to see what he does. Hey, that 35,000 or 40,000, sometimes over there, wriggly. Sometimes as we know, a little bit too much for the player. I don't disagree and don't be Tampa in front of 5,000 people and dogs. Yeah. He's doing well. And he's just saying he's 25. He turns 26 February 18th and next year's a big year for him. He's got to make the adjustments in the off season and come in ready to roll. Jack just does. Jackaloon's like you on the, on the baseline watching the game. Hey, parade is Oh God, shaking hand. I mean, telling you that this is pressure now for the Cubs pressure. I told you Doug Melvin, the old GM of the Brewers and the Rangers. I went up to him and I said, Oh, this closer you got Derek Turnbull. That guy's phenomenal. He said, we're 18 games up the track. Real easy to close games out when no one really cares. He said, stick them Friday afternoon at 120 at Riggly where it matters with 41,000 people screaming at him. We'll find out what he's made of true, man. He's right. Listen, I know that the, the heats turned up. It's not as hot at Riggly, but you know that the fans are like, I know we're four, four and a half games out, but they expect some excellence here. They expect good baseball, if nothing else at the minimum, they expect positive solid baseball. Yeah. He plays hard. He has not had a good transition to Chicago by any measure hand shaking, but I like this kid. There were a lot of teams after him, the Yankees and others. They got him. So guess what? He's got to come in ready to roll and have a good season next year, but I don't want the Matt Chapman contract six years, 151 hats off Scott Morris, you're a wizard. No question. The best. Yes. All right. We've got around the NFL. 2024. That's next day on cap and Jhood truth of the matter is you're listening to cap and Jhood on ESPN 1000 weekdays, seven to 10 a.m., but it'll last a lifetime. It may only be three hours a day, but it'll last you a lifetime. I love the Green Bay Packers. This is a really thickly built guy. I mean, what's answer you're looking for on these things here? Time to go round the dash, football league, 157 days, Shay, to Super Bowl, whatever these Roman numerals mean, stupidest thing in sports. Put a normal number on it, 157 days to Super Bowl, L-I-X. I know I-X is nine because it's title nine. What's the L? 50? It's 59. Yeah, 59. Normal numbers. It says sport here in the United States, not England, what is this? It's tradition. Oh, screw tradition. We are not getting rid of the Roman numerals in the NFL in the Super Bowl. It's just dumb. We're not doing it. It's just dumb. I'll guarantee you if I did a poll question of 10 football fans walking down a street random and said, hey, would you rather they went to normal numbers or you want to use Roman numerals? Every one of them. You 100% would say, can we go back to normal numbers, please? Well, you're not going to get 100% because of the Russian bots. That's true. So you're not going to get that? I'm putting that on my poll question on my Twitter, right now. Would you rather go to normal numbers or stick with this stupid Roman numeral system? Why? Because you can't figure it out. You never was good at Roman numerals as a kid. I wasn't. Okay, well, that's all right. L is 50 and I-X is nine. We know title nine. Okay. All right. Off the top of your head. It's number 659 and then 60. Correct. Give me the Roman numeral for 60. Well, you can do L for 50 and X for 10. That's it. Okay. What's 60? That's fixed. I'll give you a random number. Give me 69. Give me what is 69? It would be nice across there. It would be super bold. Nice. It's L-X-I-X. Yeah. L-X-I-X. Yes. Because I-X is nine. It's so stupid. It's 69. Nice. Great number. Yeah. They're not going to do that. The NFL is not going to push it with Super Bowl 69. Nice. Everybody's television. That could happen. Brian Dayball will be fired in the middle of the season. Is that not what we're doing? Are we in baseball now? Wow. That was just like we went from Roman numerals to- Although we're doing bold predictions. Did we even- We haven't started yet. I have a list. Oh. So I'm not supposed to say that now or- Oh. Would he really fading my giant's division winner? Yes. He's going the complete opposite way. Well, I thought it was a bold prediction segment. We haven't got there yet. Oh. Go ahead, Shane. All right. Let's see if Brian Dayball will be fired before the season ends. Hold that thought. Okay. There you go. There you go. Uh, hoodie, I have five bold predictions for you. Oh. Starting with one that I've kind of been teasing a little bit the last couple weeks. Bo Nix is going to be a top 15 quarterback at PFF. Yeah, sure. Wildly efficient. Sean Payton knows what to do with undersized, frankly, weaker arm quarterbacks can make things easy for him. Played so much at Oregon, PFF loves the accuracy and efficiency. Nix is going to be great at both of those things. Top 15 quarterback. I think that that is- I think that is fair and the reason why is because Sean Payton has something he can work with now. And someone will listen and say, well, what was wrong with- what was wrong with Russell Wilson? I mean, that's a Hall of Fame quarterback. Well, there was- it was oil and water between the two of those guys, Cap. And I just think that something young and impressionable, that's something that Sean Payton can work with. I think the Nix can be that good. Again, experience helps in college, tenured in college. I think he's ready to go. Shane. Uh, Malik Neighbors, flying in the face of David. If David gets fired, this may not happen. Malik Neighbors is going to break Puke and Akua's rookie receiving record. That might be it. I think he's going to break Puke and Akua's rookie receiving record. I know he doesn't have Matthew Stafford throwing to him, but he is far and away the leading target guy in that giant's offense, a system that's going to want to throw the football. The volume will be there. He's good in yards after catch. Neighbors is going to go nuts. Yeah. I don't know how he's going to get the ball. Maybe aircraft carrier. I don't know how he's going to get that cap. It won't be from the quarterback position. That's for sure. Tommy DeVino. Okay. Okay. Who's going to get in the ball? Like neighbors will feel like Devonta Adams feels in Vegas. Although did you see the Devonta, sorry to blow up your segment here, Shay? I saw it. Did you see the Devonta Adams press conference? I did. He said, this is, and you dropped the words right at the press. This is bull blank. He said, unless you hear it from me or my wife, and she's not going to be saying anything negative, I can promise you, all this other stuff I'm not happy here. They did this, that the other thing is not true. He said, I'm saying it right here. I love being here. I was surprised he was that intense about it. He didn't have to go over the top about that cap. I mean, after all, here's your choices. Back up Gardener Minchu as a starter or Aaron Rodgers with the Jets. He loves Aaron. That's his guy. Like I said, who would you ever play for? Well, you know that you're done in Vegas. Gardener Minchu? And what was before that? Ain't no count. Okay. And before that, Brian Horner. You only have so many years left. We killed Brian Horner. We ended his deal. Yes. Beat him here. He was done. We only have so many years left. You know, if you don't want to have an Adam so. True. Shay. Buffalo, bold prediction for the bills. They are better this year than last year, even without Stefan Diggs. You know what, locker room wise, yes. Football team wise, same. I actually think they will be better without him. He said how he was in a horrible head space. Dude, you're making how much money playing on a team that can win a Super Bowl and you're the number one receiver and you won out? Okay. I think they will flourish without him. Hear your choices. The veteran Josh Allen with Buffalo, with I think a steady solid hit coach in Sean McDermott. Or Ricky Quarterback CJ Stroud and Houston. Can I do that again? Are they on the come? Is the arrow pointing up? Will you get to the Super Bowl with Houston? Because I know that's what he wants. Okay. Let's go. Yeah. Listen, we all have choices. He thinks that Buffalo is a rough ride. Okay. No problem. Let's see what happens in Houston. He's just a malcontent. He spends long enough anyway. He was unhappy in Minnesota forced his way out. He was unhappy in Buffalo forced his way out. He'll be happy in Houston for a couple of years and then he'll be unhappy and either retire or force his way out. It's just who's to find Diggs is. He'll be on a panel on FS1 in the next five years. Yeah. He'll be doing Richard Sherman's job. I also think we're just going to have to see a different Josh Allen. Like, there's not going to be any more of the deep dropback effort. Gabe and Diggs are down there somewhere, bomb it deep. Like he's on drugs, he's going to have to be much more restrained. Joe Brady made this a running team when he took over as offensive coordinator. I think the scheme is going to be a lot better for Allen. I think the whole team is poised to actually be better, addition by subtraction. Here's a deal. Here's a handshake agreement we're going to have, Shay. If it does not happen that way where that becomes a negative where Diggs is off the team and Allen still fumbles the football, still is not the quarterback, then we have to shake hands with me that that'll be all for Josh Allen because this is a year without him now without stuff on Diggs. So at some point, we have to come to the consensus that you are what you are. Is that not fair? Fair. What if he leads the league in touchdowns again, but just has the misfortune to lose to the homes and the playoffs? Do we really have to say that's all? Can I stick with you? No. No. Do you have to shake my head and say, you know what, honey, that'll be all if he has 50 touchdowns again and just has the misfortune to run into my homes. I'm not going to tell you that's it. No, no, no, why not? What? I want you to put this with this guy. No, but you got put the same standards on him as you put on Lamar. How often is it Josh Allen's fault that the bills lose? It wasn't his fault two years ago that they lost to the Chiefs. Well, I don't think it was his fault last year. The Chiefs are just insane. Lamar, last year, it was Zayflowers and Lamar not understanding how the forward pass works against the Blitz. They should have won that game. I would agree, but again, it is the Chiefs after all. I'm just telling you, like at some point, there's some players in this league where you say, I respect what they do, they might be Hall of Fame worthy, but just sometimes you run into a wall and you're just, you can't get over the hump. That's Josh Allen. You remember how the Bulls, like you knew, even if they were down, they'll find a way if we knew how to win. Then the Blackhawks, they had that three and five season run for Stanley Cubs. They'll find a way, the 2016 Cubs, they'll find a way, like 15, 16, 7, that run in there was amazing. I want the bear to be there. Not like, oh, wow, we fluked it out, we won. I want it. Relax. I know we're down 10. We'll be back. That's what I want. Thank you. I think you're going to get that. You've got to build that. You've got to learn to do that. Shay, can you give us another? Yeah, the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to spend next offseason looking for the third coach for Trevor Lawrence. Things got real rough last year after a nice start. The offense looked terrible. They fired their defensive coordinator at the end of the season, despite the defense not really being a problem. And they retained, pressed Taylor, the offensive coordinator, despite the offense being horrible. This is long been Doug Peterson's issue. If you remember with the Eagles, they required that he go do a coordinator search. He had to fire his coordinators. That was an organizational mandate. And they ended up firing Doug Peterson. More of the same. I think Peterson gets canned. They stall out. They're looking for the third coach for Trevor Lawrence. Okay. I don't believe that will be the case. I do not either. Tony Khan and the Khan family really like Peterson. They do. And he's developing their quarterback who they just gave 200 and whatever million to. They're not blowing that up. They're going to have a pretty good team. I think they want stability because they like the idea that he came in after the debacle, the urban Meyer debacle. So I think that's a good word for it. It really was. Uh, her admire was putting his fingers where it didn't belong. Wow. Well, we did see that. Are we not? We could. Okay. That's all. I'm just reporting it. I'm just reporting what you and I saw. He put his fingers where it didn't belong. Correct. Yeah, guys. You guess guys fly ahead. I'll just stay back. You're going to do what? You're not flying home with us? No, I'll just stay back. Columbus. You love me, man. You're like, yeah, kill me or co-ed. What? Right. You want to do what? Okay. And if that was, I'm not going to speak for you, but I think I know if that was me and I made that decision, I'd be at practice the next day with the iron that she threw across the room that hit me in the head. Oh God. And that is our around the NFL bowl predictions for 2024. We'll help more as we move forward. Don't forget, it's a Tom Thayer Thursday. We talked to the Super Bowl champion coming up at nine o'clock. But next, you'll be. And I are going to be at the North Avenue beach tonight. Come see us for tonight, big volleyball tournament. We're calling it. At first, deal breakers on Captain Jay Hood. You're listening to Captain Jay Hood, follow the show on Instagram @thecatman and @IGJhood. This is ESPN Chicago, Chicago's home for sports. We all have to make choices in sports and in life. It could be running on third down. You ran the same third down situation and you ran the same plate twice. You're getting paid for that. I cannot believe the call for managing finances. This country, you've got to make the money for it. Or it could be a deal breaker. Time for deal breakers on the Captain Jay Hood morning show on ESPN 1000. And we're streaming on the ESPN Chicago app, we're writing you to check out the Captain Jay Hood YouTube channel. Can't listen all three hours, shame on you. But if you can't listen all three hours, we've got the YouTube channel, go to youtube.com, look for Captain Jay Hood, hit that subscribe button that way you miss nothing from the show. Deal breakers, here's Shane Orling, Shane. Alright, let's get started. Your brother lost his job and is going to struggle to make rent for the next few months. You recommend some things like taking unemployment, you hook them up with some services that can help them find a new place of work, help them reach out to services that can help people out, maybe financially or figure some things out for people who've lost their job. Your brother though is showing no effort in looking for a new gig and when you ask him about it, he says he needs the time off to quote recharge. After a couple of months, he hits you up asking if you'll give him $5,000 from your savings so he can make rent for the next few months. Are you giving him the money? Love the brother next to you. Absolutely, yes, because hold the curtain back on my life because I'm an open book. Many, many, many years ago, when I was a different person, going through a divorce, my brother was and my sister-in-law, right there to help me. Hey, we got you till you get back on your feet. It's a tough process. Anybody out there right now who's listening goes, I've been through it, it sucks. They were right there. Whatever you need, we got you. It wasn't like they were flushed, they were paying off student loans, raising kids. We got you. Yes, a hundred percent. I would take care of my brother as long as I had to. I would say yes, that's not a deal breaker, Shay, however, it's the way that you phrase it, talking about how the brother knew they, quote, reset, is that what you said? He's taking time off to quote recharge, recharge. But he lost his gig, has no money, has no employment, hasn't worked for months and he's telling you it needs time off to recharge, and then hitting you up for money. Now, here's the thing about that, and again, all of that as someone who is kind, more times than not, of course, I would be able to give the money. But the idea that you're just laying up on the couch, because I just, I just need to recharge my recharge cap. That's not how, that's not where we're from. Well, that's not how we were raised. My brother was raised that way, recharge, grind through it, power through it. I mean, I understand like there was no such thing as mental health when you and I were coming up, you know, those two words were not together. Correct. Okay. However, this idea that he needs a recharge, okay, I'll give you the money, but you got to get off my couch, like you send up watching more because you need a recharge, that doesn't get the job done. If he said, give me, I need to take like a 10 day recharge thing, okay, you're going through a horrible time, you're two months, you're sitting on the couch, watching more eating bon-bond, no, no, no, no, we're going to talk. That's the issue. I'm good with giving the money, but you're not going to sit up and just watch TV all day, giving the money and needing a recharge, recharge months on end. That's a problem. Like today. And it's a good thing. I'm not, we're not casting any inspiration. No, no. My daughter-in-law is a psychiatrist. We got into this debate, my great daughter-in-law, Jen, Jen and I were having this debate the other night and I said, I was raised, you power through. She's like, well, make that your next tattoo because mental health matters. Well, of course she, it matters. And she's a psychiatrist. That's what she does. Yes. But we weren't raised that way. That was not a thing in the 70s. You know, some people cap just don't want to have the perspective. When you give the perspective of, hey, when we were raised, this happened, we're not saying that today sucks because that's progress. It's different. The world changes. Correct. You can say something like that and then they're just like, well, that's not how they, well, we understand that. We're just telling you that the mental health process, those two words together, we're not a thing. Mental health was, get your ass to work, get to the unemployment office, fill out the forums and do whatever you have to do to make ends meet. Right. The teacher's picking on me, I'm feeling this- Get the school. That's up, right? Yes. I don't want to hear about your feelings. You're the coaches and this, and I've got to talk to my therapist. It's a great thing that we have that today, not casting any aspersit. That was not how it was in the 70s. God, make it right. That's what we were raised. Bob Hood would come in and go, hey, what did he call you? John. John, get your ass out of bed and get to school. Yeah. I'm feeling, you know, attacked by the teacher. I've got to, you know, get Reece ground. What? He'd grab you by the ear and get you right out on the bus. They can only give their perspective about how they were raised, and so that's how they raised us. Agreed. So 100%. But that's the issue here for me. Like, whatever your perspective, however you were raised, if it's acceptable in your mind that you take a reset and a recharge, don't use my money to do it. That's my issue. Like, if my sister, God forbid, loses her job. And two months later, she's hitting me up. She's still unemployed, and she's going, all this time off, I'm recharging. Can you just help me out with rent for a couple months? But you better hope waiting tables is re-energizing, because that's enough. Yeah. Again, 10 days, you need to kind of clear your head. You're just going through a divorce. You lost your job. I get it. Months? Months? You want my couch? No. No. I'll help you, but I also want you to get back on your feet at some point here. Hey. How was your day? Oh, it's my day. It's been great. This Judge Jean, boy. She makes a lot of good points. You're sitting around watching Fox? Get out of there. Let's go. Right. No one asks you to sit around and watch TV. It's time to work. Time to get back on the horse. Come on, man. It's got to be better than this. I agree. If I'm going to tell college quarterbacks like DJU to get a job, I would tell my brother in this situation to get a job. More deal breakers next on Captain J. Hood. Follow Chicago's home for sports on Twitch at ESPN 1000 Chicago. Captain J. Hood are back on Chicago's home for sports. ESPN Chicago. Deal breakers. Here's Shane Orling. Shane? All right. This is straight from the deer Abbey headlines this week. Oh, God. Right through the newspaper. Quote, "My stepdaughter is now an adult and I want to date her." Imagine if you will, your father passes away and your stepmother, now widowed, starts coming on to you. Your single, she's single, she's pretty, you're you. Would you go on a date with your widowed stepmother? Hold on, I'm lost. Explain it again. Your dad dies. My dad. He had married a new woman. Right by a logical father. Correct. Right? So his wife was your stepmother. Your dad dies. Yeah. And your stepmother wants to shack up with you. No. How hot is she? Well, you can't do both. Either know or how hot is she? You want to know that first, don't you? Okay. How hot is she? Charlie, how hot is she? She's good looking. All right. She's seven. And what's the age difference? Like, am I 21 and she's 50? No, let's have some fun. Let's say your dad married young. Okay. So I'm how old? 30? You're both in your 30s. Oh, God. You're same age. Wow. You hit it once. Like am I hooking up just like on a Friday night at 11 30 want to come over or are we dating? Yeah. No, you got to take her out to dinner. Maybe a movie. Have a nice time. And we might start a relationship. A couple of glasses of wine. Oh, where did you go to me? She was married to my late dad. He's looking for reasons to say yes here. Indictable. And and she's like a really I had a good relationship with her when she was married to my late father. I love rubbing and that's where we're going here. Make me feel better. Okay. John. Oh, yeah, I would I would date her. Oh, my God, do you do you freaking hillbilly? Holy cow. He spent the last two minutes laying the groundwork to say yes. He just watched his brain in real time. He started at no chance. No shot. No shot. How hot is she? And then just talk to it's I believe in our 30s. No cap. No. You can't start with. No. How hot is she in the same breath? I had to I had to think through the whole process, ask some questions. Once I thought about it, we're both in our 30s. Yeah, all in. That's so that's so sloppy and so lazy. Why should I let someone else have all the fun? If she and I already have a good relationship, you'll know if it's fun until you've been there. Well, I've been around her and I know that I like her. She's a good person. Yeah, but but sexually, I know right now. Take a spin and see. Spin. Hold it. That's your mean spin. It's not a car. What are you talking about? Get a test drive. Take her for a drive. That's that's disgusting. And you're just a disgusting old man. That's what you are. Hold on a second. It's not me at my age. If I was in my 30s, let's say I'm 36, she's 39. What's wrong with that? Not related by blood. Wow, dad. Now I get it. Take that. Put in the hammer down and laying the groundwork that your dad already put there. That's that's good. What? Dad is dead. Well, that's disrespectful there. Is he not dead? He is. But you don't have to put it that way, Cap. You're just a bad guy. You're 30 years old, you're a swinging single. You can get anybody in the city. Oh, she's hanging around. What do you think? Well, again, I'm extrapolating this out to say I always liked her. We had a good relationship. She was married to my dad. There was nothing going on there between her and I. Now dad's gone. He's taken a dirt nap and guess what? She and I, we vibe. Let's let's see where this goes. Oh my god. So lazy. If your stepmother comes on to you, even if dad's long gone, you've got to shut that down immediately. Why? All the women in the world. It's her. And by the way, not even a 10, we're talking about a six or seven. Oh, no, that's different. Well, I asked Charlie said she's attractive. Charlie says that good looking, good looking. Okay. That's just a seven. It's a seven to an eight. Depending on where you are. Of course. How many drugs? Again, if we vibed and I liked her and I'm like, yeah, I'm really happy for dad. Oh, Dad. I take a shot. That's that's horrible. That's horrible. I do it. This is what daytime televisions for shade scenarios like this. I really can't believe the thought process happening, hoodie right in front of our eyes. Starting from the point of this is ludicrous. And then just continuing to talk himself into it was incredible. The way they feel better. I love rubbing and touching my meat. That's him with the Cowboys. That's that's how he ends up betting Cowboys Super Bowl every year. Is he not again? And then he talks himself into it for 10 minutes and then he bets on the Cowboys. That's him hooking up with his stepmother. I need the table. That's what you're doing with her. Again, I didn't propose. I'm not married to her. We're not having kids yet. We're just going to have a date and see where it goes. I ain't her ****. Here's your knowledge. I'll take it first. I will not. That's disgusting. Here's your. I always forget that we have to. I feel like we need to put a stop to this. I didn't hear that one. Play it again, Charlie. All right. Nope. Nope. Play Charlie. What's that? Play. I know. Please don't. I wanted to be Mike. Is that what you want? I don't know which one he's referring to. Is this what you got me to say? Nope. Oh, you mean this one? I ain't her ****. Oh, that's okay. Wow. I don't know what it says. You can tell me it for him. You two are off and we had Carmen and Waddling and they could not believe that drop. I don't know how they found it. They could not believe that was real. I always forget we have that one. Who's saying that? Is that Danny saying that? Yep. Yeah. That's what I thought. That one caught me off guard today. Hoodie, good job. All right. That's deal breakers. Is it? Yep. You're just a disgusting old man. I think we've discovered that. I mean, of all the women in the world, it's got to be the widowed. She's available. It's not like I'm taking her from my dad. Hey, dad, she's breaking up with you to go out with me. No, that would be weird. There you are. I'm bad. You know what? I get it. I get it. Now I know why you were so happy in your final years. She's awesome. Speaking of awesome, here's Tom Thayer with us in two minutes as we talk bears and titans on Chicago's home for sports. [BLANK_AUDIO]
