Caleb Williams and Pete Crow Armstrong showing up at the Hawks game, Caleb in a Connor

Badard jersey, PCA, and a Connor Murphy jersey. We saw Connor Bedard come to the game the other day

and a Caleb Williams jersey. It's just really cool to see these three Chicago superstars in each

other's corner and supporting each other. Yeah, I mean, it's it's fun when you have, it's fun when you have, uh, a city of these young athletes that

have all kind of been tasked with like, hey, like, you're the next kind of big thing with this,

with this organization and three historic organizations in the city.

It's to see all of them kind of supporting each other and being actively supporting at the

games. Because it's one thing to be like oh you know hey

Caleb come to the hawks game we got a sweet for you no one will bother you we'll put you up on the

video board once and then you can just kind of hang out with your people and leave when you want

you know you know do whatever that's one thing to have glass seats to be there for the entire game to be shown on the screen

a couple of times and not like hide from it right and then also after the game you're in the

locker room talking with all the players you're signing badarj jersey and stuff like that's

awesome that's a that's above and beyond the, you know, publicity of being a, you know, a leading sports figure in a city like Chicago.

Well, I know sometimes, too, like as media and fans, we can look for connections that aren't really there.

But I think it's a...

No, never.

Never.

I think it's a really obvious one when you look at Connor Bedard and you look at Caleb Williams, two guys who had this tag of franchise or generational or whatever you want to throw on it. Long before they were drafted, you know, Caleb Williams, when he's in high school, is being talked about a future number one pick, a future Heisman winner winner and there's a ton of pressure on him and he put the pressure on himself he said his goal was always to be the number one pick in the NFL draft and then he achieves it and he goes to a city that is traditionally horrible a quarterback starved and we learn like with a little bit of reservations and then he comes around he's I'm doing this. I'm all in. And he has been nothing but all in since the day he arrived. And then counter Bardard, same thing for three years. We know kind of Bardard's going to be the first overall pick. And then he has to come to a franchise that is immediately in the footsteps of two legends. Jonathan Taves and Patrick Kane.

Kane is traded, which irritates a lot of people.

So he's got to live up to that.

He has to also live up to what they accomplished at his age, which is really hard to do.
