Perfect stink for Brandon Johnson and the morons who voted for him*

Paul Vallas would have been bad for Chicago

...but he's perfect for Palos!

Amazing that a world class city ended up with Johnson v Vallas

It's actually hilarious watching the "fiscal conservatives" run around taking victory laps

Exactly, someone who can needs to ask Goober Bailey, what is your plan to keep the Bears?*
Posted by illini222
|
The IN GOP plan is to give them a billion dollars.

Bears wanted tax certainty in AH. Brandon and SDG sabotaged it*

Lol Wisch with quite the take

Idiotic *

I've heard it more times than I can count today
Posted by IlliniSax05 And the Bears can (and would) kill any effort to bring another team to the area so it's moot MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

I’m sure NFL owners, real or imagined, are jumping at the opportunity to deal w/ Illinois politics*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Also, wouldn’t there be several cities where it would be more attractive to put a *first* NFL team?*

This reminds me of when the Patriots almost moved to Hartford*

lmao state sen Bill Cunningham the lead on the senate bill says Kevin Warren called him this morning
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
That’s worthy of another game ball for Kevin*
Posted by OB25
|
You'd think that Warren's going to get embarassed enough that eventually, the Bears will axe him

Ted Phillips was team president for 23 years.

This is the Bearsiest story that's ever Bears'd*
Posted by illini21
|
It’s almost comical at this point *
Posted by bjl63
|
No almost about it. It’s hilarious.*

|
They're so preoccupied w/ whether or not they can, they're not stopping to think if they should*
Posted by IlliniRunner
|
Giving serious “I’ll do it! I swear!” vibes. Hard to imagine anyone doing a worse job on this. *
Posted by VIV
|
but it's completely unsurprising that the Bears are doing it. It's the Bears-iest thing ever*
Posted by IlliniOllie
|
Now a bunch of Bears beat writers saying this statement was crafted to not shut the door on Illinois
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
I just assume none of these declarations are real at this point.*
Posted by OB25
|
this is the same team that's shifted their "focus" 4 or 5 times
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

Poor Papa Bear. Your loser grandson fired Ted and hired this bozo Kevin Warren.
Posted by gullit
|
Ted created this problem.
Posted by AintHatin
|
Brandon Johnson has a LOT do do with this too*
Posted by bjl63
|
what should he have done? Marshall can you help?
Posted by assassin
|
He basically lobbied the Chicago contingent vote no on the bill
Posted by bjl63
|
They were voting no anyways.*
Posted by gullit
|
Perhaps. Perhaps not. I think many ultimately preferred them to stay in IL
Posted by bjl63
|
Eh they were always leaving Chicago. Lightfoot didn't get it done either.*
Posted by gullit
|
I won't claim Warren is good at this but let's not act like Ted would have done any better
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Ted bought the land then retired. That was pretty dumb to begin with and dumb for George to allow*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Yeah, buying it without the needed infrastructure assurances was dumb*
Posted by bjl63
|
lol the announcement says they still haven’t selected a site
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Probably be a lot of bluster and fanfare over this but this announcement seems pretty weak
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
^^This^^ It’s all smoke a mirrors.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
well, it is kevin warren.*
