Hey, everybody, welcome into another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul.

Matthew Collar here, as always, and joining me on the show from the Detroit News, Nolan

Bianchi back on the show here.

And I wanted to just start doing some NFC North check-ins with other reporters and so

forth because you know what, Nolan, what else are we doing right now?

Other than, you know, some of us were spending all night grinding outside linebacker

backup options for, you know, their team.

I don't know what you're doing, probably

just, you know, vacationing or something. But, uh, how are you and, uh, how are Detroit Lions fans

actually after this season? You know, five years ago, they would have been like, that wasn't too bad,

but now, you know, now sad. Yeah, much different, uh, nine and eight season than the one they had in 2022 when they were kind of on the upward trajectory with Dan Campbell.

And that kind of set the tone for like this wonderful off season where it was like they didn't have actual like playoff disappointment.

But they and so they also like got to like live on this high of like beating the packers in

Lambo to close a season which is something that they never did pretty much for the first 20,

25 years of my life. So that was significant when they did that. But now yes, coming off of

this season where it feels like they were trying to run it back after a 15 and two season and they go 9 and 8 and

miss the playoffs everybody's freaking out um and uh so so things aren't aren't going too hot over here

me personally uh i'm doing all right i wish it was a little warmer outside i didn't know

it's funny complaining to a minnesota about that but uh i feel like we're kind of in the same boat

um but other than that i you know not leaving my house in like four days. I'm doing great. No, we're, we're fine. Zero. So. Yeah. That's, that's all right. Uh, the feels like number feels like number is, is actually six. It's usually, when is it ever higher? Oh, maybe because it's sunny out. It's never

I saw that the other day. It felt like negative two or said it was negative two feels like four.

And I was like, that's a win in my book. People will complain about that feels like number.
