With his president and CEO, Kevin Warren, for his handling of Thursday's series of events.

And that was essentially praising the progress of Indiana is what went on last week.

So, according to George, there are people, George Offman, George McCaskey is livid with Kevin Warren.

You're going to discredit George.

Well, depends on if you trust the reporting.

I think that is the case, though.

From people I've spoken to.

The one thing I want to have a better understanding of, based on what you just said, Leila, was the Kevin Warren push for downtown, was that just a Kevin Warren, let me see if I can salvage this because this land was bought before I got here, or...

Did George McCaskey say, hey, do you think there's a chance we could still build in Chicago?

I feel like I had never gotten a real defined answer on that.

Like who was leading that charge?

I think that was definitely Kevin Warren.

That's the whole thing here.

If you want to call it a mistake on George McCaskey's part, then it was to give carte blanche to Kevin Warren to be, and I think, and I don't know this, I have not talked to George McCaskey, but I think knowing George, the way he

delegates authority, he has allowed Kevin Warren, somewhat to his credit, to do his job, which was to negotiate the best possible deal for a stadium, staying out of his way.

I feel like we are getting closer, though, with this report from George, with the statement that was let out by Kevin Warren on the appreciation for leadership.

We're getting closer and closer to hearing from George McCaskey, and it sounds like we kind of have heard from him throughout

channels yeah and the george mccaskey component of it because yes i understand the delegation letting that that's what's going on you hired him to but like you hired you you you you pay you have a team president that people have been dying for the bears to go out and get forever so you think george is not going to let him do his job and and and i think he's realizing okay i probably should have given maybe more specific instructions to my desired result i'm not saying george hasn't made mistakes you mean to tell me the bears might have not thought this through completely

It's frustrating, too, because we're at the point now where you're talking about we're getting close to one thing.

That's not what people want to get close to.
