I've got George Halas' blood coursing through my veins.

George Halas' blood coursing through my veins.

What do you think George Hallis would think about the stadium in Indiana?

Well, he played for the Hammond All-Stars in 1919, so that's where he got his start in football.

The Hammond All-Stars happened to play many of their quote-unquote home games at Cubs Park.

He was on a decades-long quest himself to find the proper stadium solution.

I think the first Mayor Daley's first Blue Ribbon Stadium Commission was established in 1956, which happened to be the year I was born, so I happen to know that was a long time ago.

I don't think in the end it's going to matter to people.

Back in 1976, the New York football giants went across the state line to New Jersey.

They've been there ever since.

The Jets joined them shortly thereafter.

And then 35 years later, both teams had an opportunity to reevaluate their situations and recommitted to New Jersey.

And somehow the Republic has survived.

When the Bears moved from Wrigley Field to Soldier Field, it required an adjustment.

When we went to Champaign, it required an adjustment.

And whether we go to Arlington Park or to Hammond, there is going to be an adjustment period.

People are going to have to be allowed some time to get used to it.

I think Bears fans are up to it.

I don't think in the end it's going to matter to people.

I love Tyson coursing through my veins.
