    I think they need to change the fight song though. "You're the pride and joy of... Chicagoland" ?

    Sir, do you know what a millenial is?

    Yea. NWI by and large identify as Chicagoans just as much as every Cook County or collar County suburbanite does. Obviously it's not always mutual from our side haha, but it should be.

    Well let's just say our old friend Sulley is threatening the same over at x dot com (and to become a Packers fan at that) I'd say it meets the meatball threshold if Sulley is on same side 😂 I'd dislike Hammond more than AH, but it's no different than any a number of teams. I'll probably never sing the fight song again though lol... or not that one line.

    I believe Bears would be able to block that. NY Jets/Giants grandfathered in and in LA Rams didn't have the media rights so league could get both in at once.

    It's definitely not a done deal. Bears couldn't just flirt with Indiana on this. Now they're dating. But it's like the Bachelor and they're dating multiple people. They're gonna tell each side they're special. The details will matter. Already the Indiana state leadership is saying Bears would commit $2B. This isn't a total free ride giveaway like it's been portrayed the past few weeks from many. Time will tell how close the packages are at the end of the day, but Cook County has a larger tax and economic base than all of NWI does, and I think the emotional appeal is still in Illinois' favor. Indiana may still be willing to sell their taxpayer away though and the most likely outcome is a long line of stadium deals that fail to deliver on the rosy picture they paint.

    Bears are gonna be able to block any move to Chicago media market, I'm pretty sure. Don't think they'd have much luck luring a NFL expansion because of that. But it already is a top 10 (in revenue) concert venue for large venues. Obviously they'd have to compete against the new Bears stadium in Hammond or Arlington too. But it would probably do okay. And it could aggressively court itself for international soccer matches, and have no scheduling conflicts without Bears and Fire. But Bears and Fire both leaving will undoubtedly be a big hit. I'd imagine it can still clear enough revenue to pay it's upkeep costs for a while at least. At some point in the far future that probably stops being the case, and then it's teardown and parkland, which really is what the site would be best for.

    It's not clear to me that he even did much to ask state early on. As I recall when he was rolling out the Chicago plan and parading around support of Mayor Johnson the word from downstate was that they weren't part of that planning. Lmao. It's like Warren had heard about the Chicago political machine and didn't understand the mayor hasn't held that type of sway since it was a Daley in the role. They kind of backed off Chicago in spring of last year, but didn't really focus solely on Arlington until September. I totally get downstate not treatimg them seriously and prioritizing their plans with that type of role out. The Bears appeared wholly disorganized IMO. I'm sure the Indiana pitch has helped accelerate the timeline. Time will tell if it actually creates pressure on the economics.

    There were definitely bids on the property. I think they may have lost out if they had to get a public deal first. But they literally wasted like 2.5 years on Chicago. I don't know if that was supposed to be leverage or sincere, but it was a dead on arrival plan. I don't think they were actually ready for a plan. Soldier Field lease was still on for 12 years when Arlington Park got on market. So they scrambled to make it happen and then did... Whatever the heck that last 3 years was.

    I think Rams-49ers is already week 1 in Australia. So yea, Bears best option. Only argument I've seen against it is that opening game will do ratings no matter what - so why waste a ratings cheat code with Bears - when you can pump up a later season game.

    The most confusing directional part of Chicago is driving on 90/94 E-W

    They measure the suits to your body so that you can't artificially create extra lift on the jump. If some part of your body was larger than normal the day of suit measurement then you'd get a suit advantage and create extra lift.

    Based on his finish over Shannahan who had more 1st place votes, he must have done well in the 2nd and 3rd place votes.

    Joe Thuney Protector of the Year Caleb game winning OT throw to Moore was Moment of the Year

    I think he's from one of those former commie countries. First rounders are a tool of the bourgeoisie. Second rounders are a symbol of the proletariat.
  19. WrigleyField 22
    I don't think this take would be terrible if it werent for Bulls history of just selling off seconds.
  20. WrigleyField 22
    Sell them to finance White Sox payroll
  21. WrigleyField 22
    That would just validate their public shaming kink
