And the Hello, welcome to a very, very special episode of Purple Insider. Matthew Collar here as always, and returning to the show from ESPN, covers the Chicago Bears, also is on around the horn get up all over your

television Courtney Cronin what is going on Courtney how are you I'm good I'm good

it's been a weird couple weeks. I don't know if I've gone through this much turmoil covering a team and trying to like find some sort of balance within the rest of my life to start the season usually train wrecks happen you know you and I know a thing or two about train wrecks usually like week 10, week 11, there's always a maybe a

firing a little bit later on, weird things that happen off the field, other

strange things. No, I mean it's been chaotic. It's a nice fall day here in Chicago.

I want to take advantage of that

because the last couple of weeks,

it's just been non-stop,

one fire to put out after the other

with this Bears team.

But I'm excited that you guys are coming to town this week.

I had a chance to watch that Vikings game in full.

That was a roller coaster ride. I'm bumed about Justin Jefferson. I think it sucks about the

hamstring injury, but weird times that both of our teams that we cover are one and four. I did not see that coming.

You know, I didn't either. I thought that the Vikings could be two and three, but I did not expect them to be one and

four, nor did I expect them to have the same record as the

Chicago Bears who by the way like 14 days ago were burning to the ground and

Stephen A Smith is on TV saying that they're worse than the

oh and 16 Detroit Lions and then they get one victory versus a pretty blea

Washington football team and it's like oh wait no they're back here's it Justin

Justin Fields is back here's where I want to begin with this you have two teams that

took different paths when they hired their general managers.
