We were very worried after that.

Who are some of your former teammates that you're still friendly with or in touch with?

Like, it's nice to think about you maybe texting some former teammates as you guys all watched Bears games a little bit this year.

Raymond Harris with us here on Spiegel and Holmes.

When you think of your favorite moments as a Bear, Raymond, I mean, a major contributor in the two playoff games in 94, but it's the 97 season where you break out with 1,000 yards rushing.

What's a game that comes to mind for you when you think of being at Soldier Field?

and just having a day and looking around and wanting to remember what it was like to be a Bear and play in this town?

Man, we appreciate the realness.

Yeah, for sure.

And a lot of us have been there.

And how old were you when you were done with the Patriots was your last team, right?

yeah 30 30 30 years old 30 years old it's like most people are are just trying to figure out still what the career is going to be what the identity is going to be and you're dealing with all of that on the back end so what what has given you purpose and value since then

He's holding up the book, folks.
