00:00Joe Tooney's roommate in New England for a short period of time was our next

00:05guest, Clay Harbor, who is my colleague at the Chicago Sports Network on the Big

00:08Pro Football Show. Plenty to talk about tonight at 530. Clay, what do you think

00:13about this trade for the Bears? I actually love this trade. The Jonah

00:18Jackson trade, I had some reservations just because of his availability of

00:22missing 29 games in the last 51, but Joe Tooney hasn't missed a single game the

00:29last two seasons. He's played in all 20 games this year when he was obviously

00:34made it to the Super Bowl. This guy is durable. He's missed seven games his

00:38entire nine-year career, so that's the first thing. He's going to be there. This

00:42guy is going to play, and not only is he going to be available, he's going to play

00:47at an extremely high level. This guy's got better every year he's been in the

00:51league. We obviously know he's a former All-Pro, back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons,

00:56and the thing you everybody should know about Joe Tooney is he used to get made

01:01fun of a little bit for being too smart. The guy can pick up a playbook. He's

01:07known in college. I think he graduated summa cum laude. He'd be a guy

01:12you come in and you would give him the smart jokes. People don't do

01:16dumb jokes anymore. They do smart jokes. That was something that we used to tease

01:20Joe Tooney about. My former roommate, when I played in New England, me, Joe Tooney,

01:24and Ted Karras had a big house together in North Attleboro. Awesome guy, but he is

01:29extremely intelligent, knows a ton about football, has great technique,

01:34knows how to pick up a playbook, and I think that will help the rest of the

01:37guys that offensive line.
