and Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider you have waited for this you begged for this you've dreamed of it

ESPNs Courtney Cronin returns to the show to talk Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings draft.

What is up, Courtney, great to have you back?

It's been a minute.

I consulted with Draft Scout before I came on just to get permission because I know she's been like really really

selective in the podcast that she's been doing getting a lot of people like just wanting her insight because I mean her brain is huge like if only I could have that brain like you know

40% of the time instead of the one or two couple days she lets me tap into the skills before the draft but no I mean I'm

thrilled to be back it's our favorite week of the year do you know what's going to be

served in the media room on Thursday night are they doing like a big spread for you guys again?

I don't know the answer to that. I do know that I'm going to be at home doing a stream for day

one and then so day two I'll be out there I assume there's going to be food on both days but I mean we've gotten Jimmy Johns before but earlier this off season we had to get together for another thing with Kevin O'Connell and a couple of other people and they just randomly rolled out a taco bar for us.

It was unreal just completely out of nowhere is amazing.

You texted me about it and Seifert texted me about it and I remember feeling like you know we got the old guard us and the new guard well Kevin's not new but like he was new to our

shenanigans and the happenings of the media room. So like I felt like my

presence was still felt there because even he thought the Taco Bar was just out of

this world and had to let me know about it and it felt good like I felt like I'm still

connected to you people on this team because of literally the Taco Bar.

I think what we wanted was just you to feel very jealous and and okay good a next you. Thanks so much like could have been you

guys just rubbing it in pouring salt in the wounds because you don't get

taco bar we got Panera during the free agency press conference where they like brought out the general manager.

We were told you have 12 minutes with him even though he had done national interviews,

you know breaking down literally everything with the draft but that's part of the course.
