Hey, hey, and welcome in to the House of L podcast. I'm Lawrence Holmes. Thanks so much for hanging out

on the pod. We are brought to you by the fine folks over at Remy Martin. I'm rocking my

Remy Martin cap. It had been a minute since I've actually worn a cap. I have a ton of them,

like too many. But then it's like, oh, it's the right occasion to wear this cap so you know

i figured i would switch the look up just for tonight and and rock a remy cap because it's kind of

dope look there's some dope stuff right there i promised you a pot a day until kickoff. So let's get with it. Let's let's talk a

little bit about this situation that I don't think is going to happen, but let me walk through

why it could. Bears and Packers play Saturday night. And Matt LaFleur, who I think is one of the best

coaches in the league, his contract is up after next season. I will say that I do hate the

idea of, well, you can't let someone work in a lame duck season.

I, as a concept, I'm not saying him specifically, but as a concept, I hate that.

If you know that you want to keep the person, then yeah, go ahead and extend them.

But if there is any lingering doubt, then go into that final season and you can talk extension if things go well.

I've always felt like it's become routine and practice in sports overall, and it doesn't have to be.

You know what I'm saying?

Like it doesn't have to just be, we're for sure doing this because this is what's always been done.

And I personally don't see it that way but you are

talking to someone who often has his contract negotiations go down to the wire and sometimes

into overtime that's happened a couple times too Maybe once we get outside of football season,

I'll talk more about that. By the way, I've got a little bit of time on my contract, so I don't

have to worry about it for a while. But yeah. Oh, and I did this contract myself. I fired my agent and did it on my own.

I wasn't sure if I was going to come back.
