It was Black Friday against the Eagles.

So we had the game and obviously did great for the Bears.

But at that point, beginning of the season, Sean O'Hare, who makes the programming calls at Fox, he didn't know if the Bears were going to have the type of year that they had.

So we knew we had the Black Friday game.

And it ended up being a monster matchup against the defending Super Bowl champs.

And then you see that it's going to Amazon Prime.

I remember when the schedule came out on Sunday on NBC at halftime.

And I said, Amazon Prime, man, I think we can get that game again.

So it's so big for us.

Layla, let me just go back real quickly, because obviously I was blessed to be part of that 1990s program.

Bulls championship run for eight years.

And I can't tell you how many times I'd finish up a Bulls game and I would be so ecstatic and just honored to be at those games sitting with Neil Funk and John Paxson and Tom Boerwinkle and whoever was calling the games with us back then, Derek Dickey, who has since passed away.

And I would sit right next to Phil.

And I mean, the United Center or the Chicago Stadium was electric back then.

But in the back of my mind, there was a place called Melvin B's on Rush Street, for those listening, next to the Hunt Club.

And I used to hear about how all the bars were going off.

And I'd say, man, that would be cool to be in the bar watching the Bulls go to a championship.

And I know it's going to be great again on Saturday in this town.

I will be in studio excited about doing the postgame show because we're doing a pregame show, 1230 to 2, early because Fox has its own pregame show and then the Carolina Rams game.

And then immediately after the game, I know you guys are doing a postgame show.
