Spiegel and Holmes.

Charles Tillman.

Charles, thanks for being on the show.

Y'all ready for me to go?

No, not.

You can't take no calls or none? If you want to hang on for a minute, we'll take a break and we'll come back and take some calls. Is it an immediate minute or is it like a black person minute? It's a black person minute because a black person drives this show. Afternoons on the score. Hey, speaking up, you can join the score in Circus Sports, Illinois, next Friday, January 9th at Real Time Sports in Elk Grove Village. Speaking on Holmes, we'll be live there from 2 to 6 p.m. for Chicago football playoff taco. That sounds good. Plus, you can win Chicago sports tickets from Circus Sports, Illinois. That's next Friday from 2 to 6 p.m. at Real Time Sports in Elk Grove Village. It's all brought to you by Circus Sports, Illinois. Sports betting the way it should be. It is a Friday. It is January 2nd. He is Anthony Hare and I am Jensen Richards with you. Until 6 o'clock this evening. Cannot wait to talk to Herm Edwards coming up at 5 o'clock?

There was a quote this week that reminded us a little bit of Herm Edwards, famous quote,

back in 2002, I believe, as the Jets head coach.

So maybe we'll talk to Herm a little about that coming up at 5 o'clock this evening.

Yeah, that would be a good time.

Good stuff with Olin there. Right. And could we dive a little bit deeper into defensively if Bears fans are panicked a little bit about what they could see come playoff time? And even Sunday against the Detroit Lions, you know, the Lions are so weird. Because if you just looked at stats and rankings, you'd be like, oh, they're fine without Ben Johnson. I feel like that's a drop, by the way. The lions are so weird. I just think that's worthy of living on at some point. They're so weird. I'm glad I didn't say the Detroit Tigers. I've had the Tigers on the brain for some reason. Okay. You know, they've lost three in a row. They've dropped four of five.

They've dropped seven of their last 11.

But they are six in yards per game.

Their fifth in passing.

Their third in points scored at 28.9 points per game.

Listen to five minutes of Detroit Sports talk and they need to fire everybody in the sky

is falling.

So it's like it's smoking mirrors if you dive a little bit deeper into their numbers.

Well, it's a different standard, right?

We're like right now, we're in the age of innocence for this version of the Chicago Bears

because it's year one for Ben Johnson.

The Age of Innocence.
