Absolutely.

Could yours truly chosen not to be so hard on them for three years, not so recalcitrant or pugnacious?

For sure.

Could this mayor have done things differently?

Yes.

Could the last mayor have done things differently?

Yes.

Could the mayor before her have done things differently?

Could Mayor Daley have done things differently when they moved the 2001 Soldier Field Deal?

Absolutely.

So at some point, we've got to stop assessing and assigning blame and start assigning responsibility, right?

We've done enough looking in the rearview mirror.

Stadiums have to get built by driving forward, not backwards, right?

And so everybody has their turn to explain why we're here.

And at this point, I'm much more interested in talking about how we get where we're going, and I think that we will get there.

Now, looking at Justin's career and then obviously looking at next year, I think we really want the really good version of Justin Steele.

I think that's something that we need to avoid that we feel as a team, for sure.

But I think expecting...

starts this year is unrealistic.

We have to hope they can, you know, potentially come back, um, at the end of the year and help us, um, and improve health and improve health going into the off season so that we know, um, we've got, you know, a really good picture for next year.
