That am. Well, I do want to start off with something that I had forgotten to mention it's a little bit old but it's very

important that I bring it up Dick Geron former long time Chicago Bears head coach

has passed away said many times as much as I have

disdain for the Chicago Bears I have sort of a weird and deep admiration for a lot of

former Chicago Bears in a way that I don't for a lot of other teams I I kind of do with, you know, like really high. I mean, I don't know. I guess anybody in the NFC North, but I just feel like there's a lot more with Chicago. Obviously Megatron and, you know, Jared Allen and Minnesota.

I want to do to touch on this one real quick. I haven't heard anyone talk about this or mention this. This is the case a lot, right? This was sort of the case with the, what was it was like direct TV or something that there's really big

cases that are kind of flying under the radar here. Um, the NFL was, um, I guess sued by the NFL
