The dream is dead.

It's not dead.

That is not what I'm depending on to carry the Bears forward at least this Sunday, although they probably need that in order to have a legitimate chance of winning this game.

Grody, what else was said out there that got your attention in terms of the way they're talking about this matchup?

Yeah, you know what, Marshall?

We are in the everybody is saying nice things about everybody phase of the program, whether it's coming out of Los Angeles, whether it's coming out of Chicago here today.

You know, we heard, you know, like Kevin Byard talk about how good Matthew Stafford is and how good, what a challenge it's going to be to stop Puka Nakua and what it is that, you know, what...

Devontae Adams is a technician.

That was an adjective that was used to describe him today.

So I feel like it's just sort of formulating and we're in the gentle phase of the week, the courtesy phase of the week where there's a lot of questions going back and forth on how good and how great certain players are on both sides of the ball.

I did think it was interesting today.

Had a really good talk with Montez Sweat with a few other reporters today.

I'll be able to play some of that this afternoon, I believe at 5 o'clock on the Spiegel and Holmes show.

But he said, and it perked my interest, he said, Montez Sweat said, this is the most fun he's ever had playing football.

which is really good to hear because it hasn't felt like that for Montez Sweat through my eyes over the last year and even for maybe a year and a half.

He's come on.

He's made plays recently.

He did get the double-digit sacks, but this has not seemed like a guy who has been having a whole lot of fun playing football, and now he says he's having the most fun that he's ever played.

So it's good to hear that.

It's good to hear that everybody has a super health.
