Always much appreciated when you tune in. And don't forget, you can read my work on ESPN.com.

Just before I get into my five thoughts, which are about the season, not really about the game,

just touching on a little bit as it pertains to the season and some things that could still happen.

So stay tuned for that.

Before we get there, a couple of things I will be doing, obviously, for ESPN and I have stuff next week. I'm going to be writing a story about Jane Daniels, his season, how hard it is to assess it, but what did we learn from it and what can we learn and what does it mean moving forward? So that's something there, talk a lot about the season and not so much about, you know, maybe what are the things we learned and what, you know, obviously offseason priorities, all that goes up throughout the off season. We'll get into all that. Going to be a big off season for this franchise. So we'll be continuing to do that for you club members. I will be doing a private chat for you on Sunday. So three hours before the game. So we'll call it 1.30 Eastern Time on Sunday. Join me for the private chat at that time. And we'll talk about whatever. And I'll be doing more of those throughout the offseason for the club members. That's one thing. And I will be doing stuff. Obviously, after the game, I have a podcast. I will not be talking a lot about the game.

I'm saving it for after the game just in case, hey, what if something bizarre happens? What if there's a key injury? What if there's this or that? So I don't want to put it out before the game because that would be kind of weird. but I will be talking about the season and just a lot of the off-season priorities

may be kind of prioritizing how I see it

and then we'll get into all that

throughout the offseason priorities may be kind of prioritizing how I see it. And then we'll get into all that throughout the off season. On Monday, it's a locker room cleanout day. The players will be in there starting around 9.30. So we'll be starting to talk to guys around that time. Then they'll have a meeting. And then we will be at some point Monday afternoon, sometime between four and six, talking to Dan

Quinn and Adam Peters.

It's the first chance we've had to talk to Adam Peters in this setting since the start of training

camp.

So kind of a key thing for him because now he's on the clock for the off season because this is a

huge offseason for this team.

So that's why, like this, just for our coverage
