Appreciate you guys having me.

If I would have stayed as long as some of these guys you're about to watch tonight, I might have won the Heisman at the second.

That's for a whole other conversation, right?

Tough ending, man, to an amazing year for the Chicago Bears, David and Molly.

And just a fun year to watch.

And going over that film this morning, you see all the things that I'm sure we're going to talk about and people are going to discuss for a while going forward about, you know, the interception, going forward on fourth down.

You know, it's just this team was, I don't know what you guys thought at the end and how you guys felt at the end of the game.

But this team gave you everything they had, fought to the last minute of every game.

And it was really fun for an analyst like me to watch them win now.

You heard them all say at the end of the game that every year changes, that next year is not guaranteed, and they wanted to make a run in the Super Bowl.

And I'll tell you what, I was impressed hearing that from them because that is exactly correct.

It's a great question.

How do you balance those feelings of who's going to be there, who's not?

How do you feel about the season you just had?

Really accomplished a lot right in that season.

We talked a lot before going into this year.

Glad we don't have to mention next year that the Bears haven't won a playoff game since I played and they went on to beat the Green Bay Packers in spectacular fashion, right?

And that was a great win for the city and the Chicago Bears and the team.

But as you guys know, you guys have been following this league a long time.

A lot of these guys won't be back.
