It is technically spring today. Start not quite for 30 something. All right. Yes. Yes. We're almost there. First love for the show Lawrence not knowing when spring starts. Huge problem. Leader of the show doesn't know what spring starts. It doesn't feel like spring out. Well, no, it won't for another two months. I'm not going to be able to focus here. We've got a live studio audience here. This is says I'm not used to this. I don't know. I don't know if I can handle it to be honest with you. I've got a lot of my mind great to see you guys.

I think you should unload right now in front of the live studio audience. Really right now at the start. Yeah. Well, I just didn't realize as I was getting ready for today, show how jealous of the Detroit Lions. That was going to become. Yeah, we talked on the phone earlier, and you're just like, you're all about the Lions today. Uh oh. Where's that? The Lions have done what the bears wanted to do. I think is this the ultimate explanation. I don't agree.

I think it's about seven percent of credit for ending Aaron Rodgers. The Lions beat Aaron Rodgers twice this year. Aaron Rodgers rallied his way to come back to the playoffs. He was going to make the playoffs and the Detroit Lions showed up at Lambo Field and Jamal Williams cried and they ended their season. And now Aaron Rodgers is gone. And I just wanted the bears to have that moment. And now the Lions, the worst offensive team of all time last year who got hot and played great down the stretch. I know that they're now the darlings of the NFC.

Yes. And who's the quarterback? Right. Right. Right. Right. I got it. I got it. We have hope. We've got hope. But I'm just saying, which, which you're experiencing in a vacuum on March 20th. I'm jealous of the Lions. By the way, a vacuum in a vacuum. In a vacuum. We are in a vacuum. I don't know what that means. And I'm going to continue to use it.

Uh, by the way, Adam Hogue, Mark Carman, Nicholas Moriano here with you. Nick's supposed to be in Iowa City right now. We'll get into that a little bit later in the show. It's a good one. Don't leave the show now.

Yeah. We'll tease that. You're just your experience in a little bit of jealousy that the Lions did, which you wanted the bears to do, which was to get one more win.

To send Aaron Rodgers off for the loss. Great job by the Lions. Congrats to them. Everybody can feel good for them. But I'm not ready to go down this like the Detroit Lions or had to do the Super Bowl.

No team's going to be more over. I'm telling you right now, bring this back in September. No team will be more over hyped the Detroit Lions this year.

They're making the right moves, though, where you see like they're adding to their defense, building off a good year, where they didn't quite make the playoffs. I see what they're doing. They're rightly the division favorite.

And they should probably open the season as the division favorite and they. They could go on to win the division.

Can you remind me the contract that CJ Gardner Johnson got? Oh, it's like one year, one year proven deal. One year proven deal. Yeah, how old is he again?

26 25. Right. How many interceptions did he have last year? A lot. Six of them. Yes.

I'll make of a pain in the ass as he to deal with on a daily basis. Okay. Okay. That's okay. I'm down with that. I will. I will ride you think he got the deal he did.

That's that's that's fine. That's fine. That means we're not. And then and then here the last thing that I need to get off my chest before I can sell it in the show.

Jalen Carter. Will the bearers choose the guy that is completely imploding it as all sorts of issues? Or will they take the solid offensive lineman Peter Skaronsky?

Paris Johnson. Which one will they do? They are not drafting Jalen Carter. Please stop with this because it doesn't it doesn't add up to anything that they've done to this point.

Will they take the guy who could be the biggest bust and and and Ryan polls will stake his claim to Jalen Carter at nine. I will I am on record officially. It's at CS show that is just not happening. Okay. March 20th.

March Carman's writing down. I will make my final decision on Jalen Carter the morning of the draft. Okay. That's when I'll come on and I'll tell you. I'm not ready to go that far. I don't think the bears are out on Jalen Carter.

That's right. They're meeting with them. They're going to meet with them. Yeah. They're bringing them. You're telling me that they're going to use a 30 visit on somebody who they're not drafting. That's a bold take.

They need to do more homework on a mark. See your future. Be your future. Just like I told you when Aaron Rogers went into the cave and he said he was 90% of retiring that Aaron didn't know himself. I apparently know Ryan polls better than Ryan polls knows himself. I'm this particular one right now.

They are not taking Jalen Carter. What could he possibly tell you in an interview that could sway you at this point.
