    A spokesperson for Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker said that "Illinois was ready to move this bill forward. After a productive three-hour meeting yesterday, the Bears leaders requested the ILGA pause the hearing to make further tweaks to the bill. This morning, we were surprised to see a statement lauding Indiana and ignoring Illinois."

    If the Bears leave Chicago, the blame game between the Illinois Governor and Mayor of Chicago will be epic.

    Say their prayers out loud

    • Sounds like Isiah McDuffy and Big Elg are gone. The rest don't seem worth doing I don't think. Rashan Gary played like a butt cheek but I think he'll be back.

        TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

              The Gary Bears have a nice ring to it. They deserve it. And the traffic that will go along with it.
              Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                Unless things have changed in Hammond, there isn't a lot of hotel rooms and other infrastructure to get 80,000 to the game from downtown Chicago. The Horseshoe Casino doesn't have a hotel in Hammond. You have to go like 4 miles away to get a passable room.
                But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                    • Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore died on Saturday in southern Indiana, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini and Fox 9's Ahmad Hicks. He was 25 years old.

                      According to Hicks and WHAS11, New Albany police chief Todd Bailey said Moore was found in a garage with a gunshot wound suspected to be self-inflicted.

                            Since the cap is a suggestion we should definitely sign about 5 of these guys. But seriously Linderbaum would solve a lot of issues. And Isaih Likely is a pretty talented guy who was sort of stuck behind Andrews.

                              That is sad. Kid had so much going for him, but it just shows that mental illness is a very real thing that supersedes anything else that is going on. I've seen some of it firsthand and I'm as grateful for my mental health as I am for physical.
