And you look real familiar to me right now.

That's not exactly what he says.

No, but I love it.

You're looking unfamiliar to me right now.

We're going to leave the door open because that's clearly what the Bears are doing because we got the initial statement from the Bears, and then we learned about the conversations happening between Kevin Warren and people here in Illinois, and I'm like, oh, so the door is really wide open.

Yeah, I think the don't care crowd is vocal for what we do on our text line, our phone calls.

I think more people, way more people care than don't care.

But I also think there's a segment of the population that cares and they do not want the Bears to leave, whether it's Soldier Field downtown or leave the state, either way.

But they're like, the Bears are going to do what the Bears are going to do.

I think that's where I am personally, is understanding how this works, how it has worked in so many other places in this country, seeing teams leave their city of origin.

There's a fair way to call it.

Whether it's New York, the Giants and the Jets, whether it's Santa Clara as opposed to San Francisco.

You can go Arlington as opposed to Dallas for Texas.

There's a long list of places you can go.

And I think I'm just into the point where...

I believe that most corporations, most businesses, especially billion-dollar businesses, and we're talking about an $8, $9 billion business here, are going to do what they can do to maximize profits being led by the league itself.

That's why I've accepted it.

And so while I would love the Bears to stay within walking distance of where I live, because that's, let me be very clear, when I covered Bears games, I would walk home most of the time.

I'd walk to and from.

Uh-huh.
