  1. Gotta love the Illinois Governor. It was your fault the State failed but we still want you to stay. What a double message. Back in the Bears court to see where they want to play ball.

    1. Exactly. “We didn’t come through”, “but it is your fault”.

      Now? “Hey let’s get together and try AGAIN”

  2. Can’t see why they’d bother. Indiana wants to throw away a billion dollars to leave the team in sight of Chicago, why not let the Hoosier taxpayers eat the cost?

    1. Because it makes him look bad – politics. The average fan (voter) won’t understand your point in 10 years but will complain the Bears are playing in IN.
