All right, we got that.

So Patrick is up early.

He's grinding at the Star Tribune.

So we've got him via phone here this morning.

We got to talk about wolves and LeBron, Pat.

But I was just doing some digging for the Purple Props edition of Purple Daily.

The Vikings at Soldier Field are 4 and 16 this century and 5 and 15 against the spread and they've been beaten by

quarterbacks like Mitch Trubisky and Chase Daniel.

So what kind of chance do you give the Vikings even though they are almost a touchdown

favorite on Monday?

And the bears, we don't even know how many of those mediocre bears are going to play.

What do they got seven guys not playing already?

So they got half their teams got COVID.

This would be a very impressive loss if they could figure out a way to lose to them.

Boy, you name two of the better quarterbacks to ever defeat them though there's a there's a

whole litany of anonymous guys who might have won five games total in their NFL careers who have

beaten them they have had incredibly lousy performances but i just don't see that happening. I think the bears are pretty much no

Nagy's gone. They don't have a lot of their players. They're probably more worried about COVID than

they are winning the game. But who knows if they, you know, to me, the first sign was in

Killeleel Mack a month ago, decided to have

surgery instead of stick around for the death march to the finish for that team.

And when that starts happening, teams have pretty well given up.
