They will get over it, just like everybody else has gotten over, whether it's the previous moves he talked about or other teams in other places, because at the end of the day, the Bears will have enough people to fill their stadium, and most people watch the games on TV anyway.

Yeah, I got shovels in the ground this year because we're running out of time.

I think either Illinois is going to get its stuff together and say, yes, we're going to do what needs to be done so the Bears build in Arlington Heights, or they're not.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And the Bears, who have already lost so much money waiting because the price of construction has only gone up since they bought that land at Arlington Heights, are going to go forward one way or another.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

I completely agree with everything you just said.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Bears aren’t letting go of the idea of obtaining compensatory draft picks (Hour 1)

But the reality of the matter is either Illinois is going to do what needs to be done so that the Bears are building Arlington Heights or they're not.

And if they don't, the Bears do have a plan B. It is that honey bun I talked about.

But even though they don't want to do it.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

There was another one on the text line that was pickled feet in the back of the cabinet in a jar that's been sitting there.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Bears aren’t letting go of the idea of obtaining compensatory draft picks (Hour 1)

Yeah, pickled pig's feet.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

So, yeah, whatever you want to use, just understand they have a plan B. And guess what?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Illinois wouldn't even be as far down the road as they are right now, whether it's the mega projects bill, the pilot, any of that stuff.

If Indiana didn't exist, there would be no reason for them to even try to do anything.

At what pace?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Bears aren’t letting go of the idea of obtaining compensatory draft picks (Hour 1)

And what I'm saying is now it's expedited.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Bears aren’t letting go of the idea of obtaining compensatory draft picks (Hour 1)

It was not expedited.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
