Welcome in to another edition of the Under Center podcast here on NBC Sports Chicago.

I'm JJ Stankovitz joined at House Hall by Cam Ellis, and it's only the return of John Moon

Mullen one week out from hip replacement surgery, Moon.

Yep, yep, more metal.

Nobody's got a magnet around here, right?

I'll go flying up to the ceiling or something.

These coat hangers in the coat closet

we're recording, they might be metal.

Yeah, they're looking at vibrating.

If you hear, yeah, if you hear that clinging sound,

that's a coat hanger attaching itself to Moon's hip.

Anyways, Moon, your dedication to OTAs, I would say unmatched on the beat.

Oh, God, that's scary. Yes. Well, it's funny to think back, and we were talking about this

before he started, I think that it began in 05, because the thing I remember, I'd be able to

bike up and it wasn't any big deal.

I remember giving Musa Muhammad's kid who really loved my bike.

His boy was about three, so let's put him on the grown-up bike and wheel him around the practice field.

And nobody else would be coming, which was great as a beat writer, you know, you kind of got at least the respect that you're out here, at least sweating, although the thought of me at Spandex might have ruined a few things.

I think we just lost a few viewers here.

But, you know, just to pull the camera back about that, funny thing, back then, again, we were talking about one guy who would just kind of cycle up and I mean wasn't writing anything think about it and this is kind of like if you want to use it

as an example of the NFL kind of growing now it's an off-season event the way

the combine is just growing and growing and and they really I won't say monetize it
