Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Joining me today, a guest that I cannot believe we have not had on up to this

point. It is the Chicago Bears writer for ESPN, but also a face on your television in many

different capacities these days. It's Courtney Cronin. Courtney, thank you so much for doing this.

Thanks for having me. I really cannot believe we have not done this yet.

For whatever reason, it just slipped my mind. We've had this conversation offline, I bet a hundred different times about whatever's going on in the league and whatever you're working on.

And it's very fun to have you cover the hometown team now after your years covering the Minnesota Vikings.

So we're glad to have you back. But I'm very glad to have you today. It's training camp time. We're here.

Camp kicks off in the next couple days. You will be out there in Lake Forest in the sweltering heat

for the next month or so, which I'm very excited for you. But every time around, every year around this time,

I like to just reset about what are we excited about? What are we interested in? And what are the

questions that we have kind of on the Eveham trading camp? So that's what we're going to do today.

The 10 biggest questions that we have now that training camp is 24, 48 hours away, pretty simple, but I think the right way to kick

off this stretch of the calendar.

And you are our guest.

So you are going to get us started today.
