Yes. The Unions didn't just quietly get behind this, they are loudly out in front of it.

It was the plan all along, the Bears are just the literal worst pokerface in the business.

Still a lot to play for so they have to be ready.

Oh crap, this proposal didn't include Ron did it? He's not like a real poster anyway, right?

Remember Ishbia at some point takes over, perhaps sooner rather than later, anything can happen.

Eh.. he was the reason the McCaskeys opened their wallet to pay for Ben Johnson and fired Eberflus during the season which this franchise has never done before so I wouldn't say he did nothing. But yes the stadium stuff has been disappointing by him.

In true Albert Belle fashion, Jerry (and Ishbia) should just up the payroll to 500 million to prove there needs to be a salary cap

I mean only a real douchebag would tell this admin staff how to do their jobs. Speaking of which, where is ron?

Yeah but the Rockies have won 57 so they don't need to win anymore.

That's a good question. The local news outlets love covering public meetings like this where angry residents shout down a developer's presentation. But, I don't know if halting Amtrak's proposal to upgrade their Chicago operations (w/ $900M in federal and private funding) and blocking a privately-financed new Sox stadium would be popular with the public outside the NIMBY zone around the site. As you point out, if elected officials really do find a way to stop this, they risk losing the support of organized labor.

Where are you seeing Monday? Usually they have the one day between season and playoffs

always a danger in underestimating the opponent even the worst teams can win 40 games

Seems they really want to be in IL and are using IN as leverage. Shovels would probably be in the ground already if they really want to build in IN.

Yet my greatest fear is the owner. That pattern is hard to ignore. Trade some guys before they want that payday.

Awful AnnouncingKey details emerge for future of MLB media rights during...Should MLB miss over 60 games next season during a lockout, its national media rights contracts would automatically extend by a year.

Yeah but it seems like more endless sponsor spiel. This walk to the mound is brought to you by.... This double play is brought to you by..... This description of the team's uniforms is brought to you by....

I also blame the Red Sox or any other team for not trading Castillo

I'm not going to throw a fit how this bunch of kids are going to perform in the post season. I'm content that they got there otherwise it would be a great failure. I don't want them to enter the next season that way. I imagine it will be a great time at the Cell.

I actually think it could be a net win for all involved - presuming they can get get the right person in. At least as it relates to the stadium stuff.

heard this in the morning sports talk in Phoenix which is what we are doing now. It's about rooting for a team you hate to help you out for the post season.

That's really bad.

I would have sworn he already was!

Because they don't seem to have any clue about what they're doing.
