Lawrence is kind enough to let me do some takeovers here and there and I get to do another one with the great Carmen Vitalia Fox Sports.

Carmen became such a huge part of so many shows here in Chicago over the past football season.

It was great to have her perspective on shows like Football Night in Chicago, of course,

Bernstein and Holmes on 670, the Under Center Podcast, for example, on NBC Sport

Chicago, I feel like you're a little bit of everywhere in such a good way, I know

you did, shows the Fox as well. So I think where I want to start is,

as we get ready for the Super Bowl,

what were your biggest lessons that you learn

about teams that you either had a hunch about early in the season? Like I. about

early in the season. Like I know you and I have talked a lot about the Packers in your study of

Matt LaFlore's offense. And then how did you see those things play out in the regular season and then into the playoffs?

Because covering the NSC in North for Fox Sports, you studied the Lions a lot and they were so close to a Super Bowl.

Yeah, listen, I didn't anticipate having two teams in the division round of the NFL

playoffs this year. I wasn't, I didn't have that much of a foresight on what was going to happen here but as you mentioned I mean

the Packers this is nothing new with them is Chicago's Chicago Bears fans know very well.

They have had this strategy with team building

that has worked for the past three decades.

It has transitioned to different quarterbacks.

And basically in the beginning,

I was more like, until I see this not work

as someone who grew up in Chicago and grew up a Ferrisan,

I am not, I don't trust that it's not going to work again.
