Ah got it. That makes sense. And Indiana is a petty state. It's the reason they keep spending money on the succession plan knowing damned well it would never happen. It's all for show, which is why the Bears are an attractive target.

They would get just as many sell outs in Hammond as they would in Arlington Heights.

If it is a true trade, it has to be Quero unless a guy like Lee is a throw in to another deal. Romo was a waiver claim, which tells me that is about what Lee's value is going to be.

Eh, I think it is a hollow threat. Chicagoans do this loud civic pride thing, but they still buy their out of state Frango Mints at Macy's and work in the Willis Tower. The Bears is Hammond is less far out of Chicago than Arlington Heights is. They might get bad, but it isn't going to do anything lasting to the fan base.

IIRC, ND's biggest alumni base is in Chicago.

I don't think the Bears will ACTUALLY move, though I think Indiana is going to back up the brinks truck to try to make it happen, and extract some pretty ugly gains out of Illinois ot make it happen. Indiana doesn't care about things like it's people, infrastructure, or education, but they do care about big business. They would love nothing more than to steal the Bears, and if they can at least hurt Illinois in the process, that's a win to them.

I don't think the Bears are less of a brand than the niners. By train it is almost 2 hours.

I get Chicagoans will have a meltdown at first, but they will still go to games. The rest of the country has proven that.

How? Its almost exactly the same distance and geographic layout where the stadium goes from central location in a city, to the edge of one significant side of the population base, but still close and accessible.

With as many teams as aren't located in their proper city's anymore, I do not think this is true. Sure as heck hasn't harmed the Jets, Cowboys, Giants, Commanders, Rams, Chargers, 49ers, Bills or Dolphins. Why are the Bears different. To be clear, I do not think it happens, though I think Indiana will be perfectly willing to throw a ton of money and resources at the Bears to make Chicago/Illinois bid up.

He's 100% getting traded now. You don't come back from that.

It probably also means that if a dude like this is on waivers, a guy like Korey Lee isn't worth a spit.

It's still weird that we are hoarding catchers when we refuse to let our catchers do anything other than catch.

Well cross him off the list then.

Another catcher? Well that is probably a statement.

He better be thanking someone. If he had just his White Sox career, he'd probably have been fighting for a major league deal right now.

I already have, and you are word playing statements to try to get around it, while simultaneously making the case that everyone lies, which goes back to you supporting my original point. Again. He's not lying. He is lying. Even if he is lying, everyone does it, so it's ok.

So, again. He's not lying. He is lying. Even if he is lying, everyone does it, so it's ok. Thanks again.

It's funny you say this, but yet you proceed to very clearly agree with me that he is manipulating the truth and not giving the whole truth to people, meanwhile telling everyone its actually not happening, but even if he is, it is perfectly ok, because of how you buy cars, and you definitely can't handle it being said without having to rushing to defend it. Again. Mock it all you like, but then stop making my points for me.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

And the Cubs are hoping for a big spurt to get the happy ending they all are hoping for

They play their cards right, the prize is right there in their hands.

Haha, yeah, brain wreck

Boenmer over Monty is crazy after what Colson just did at the major league level last year.

I have repeatedly. If you don't understand that, that's on you. If I am not explaining in a way you can accept, that is also on you.
