Yeah, exactly.

And that's an excellent question, and believe me, there's been tons of speculation about that.

My personal feeling is that people hate taxes, but they love football more.

So I do think that it would be difficult for J.B.

Pritzker to seek a higher office, or certainly he would have to have a way to explain in a run for higher office why he was the governor who let the Chicago Bears, the Chicago Illinois Bears, as he described it, go to Indiana.

On the other hand...

Our colleague Brandon Eisen was out in the loop yesterday talking to people about what they thought about a potential move to Indiana.

And most of the people that Brandon heard from kind of pinned it on the Bears.

It remains to be seen if indeed the Bears end up highing to Hammond.

It remains to be seen how much blame the state takes for that.

I mean, some people, a lot of the people I talk to seem to think that Pritzker would definitely wear the, you know, the satin Bears jacket for this one.

But I have a feeling that the Bears come off not looking great to the fans and surely the McCaskey family doesn't.

which is, I mean, they're smart people.

Otherwise, you know, they wouldn't have gotten the success, the business success that they have out of this team.

Certainly the McCaskey family is aware of the risk involved here.

And I do think that it would be something that the governor would have to explain.

But I also think there's a lane for the governor if it gets to that point to say, look, we had a limit to what we were willing to do.

This is a hard time in the economy right now.

A lot of people in the state of Illinois are hurting.

I appreciate that, brother.
