And one of the things that is hard to figure out is you've got Illinois lawmakers saying our primary goal is to take care of the Illinois taxpayer and the bears can, you know,

Not their words exactly, but they can go screw if they think that they're our top priority with what the things we're trying to get done in the state.

And that's fair enough.

But as soon as it comes to the idea of, oh, the Bears may move across state lines to Indiana to play their home games, then people get a little bit more, well, wait a second.

Give us a chance to figure this out.

And you've heard that rhetoric from lawmakers as well who say the bears aren't a priority.

But then when it seems like there's a legitimate threat of the bears leaving, it's like, can we just have a little bit more time?

Just give us a little bit more time.

And I think we can come to a compromise here.

And so that's where this whole thing gets a little bit layered and complex.

And we'll see where it heads in the coming days and weeks.

Yeah, no idea right now because nobody seems to have anything in line.

And so we've got to wait for a bunch of parties involved in this saga to put themselves in the place that they want to put themselves to try to create direction on a project that has really honestly been blowing in way too many different directions since 2021.

Fair.

Fair enough.

I sigh all the time.

I'll sigh in about an hour and a half.

I got a little adrenaline pumping right now.

It's disconnected.

That's the biggest problem, is that nobody is moving in the same direction.
