There's a lot of business.

I've not seen Kevin Warren or George McCaskey yet, but I'm positive they are in town.

I'm curious to see what kind of business this is going to be here.

It just happens to be this combine is two blocks away from the Indiana State House.

What a coincidence.

Relevant place this time of year.

This may shock you.

He had no interest in discussing it either.

So, yeah, it is a relevant topic here.

The Bears are trying to set their foundation for the football future and obviously for their stadium future.

It's all right here in Indianapolis.

Yeah, that's a great question.

I think, um,

I kind of put that whole thing into two buckets.

One, I'm really proud that Ian has the opportunity to be a general manager, something we've talked about for a long time before we were even employed by the Bears.

It was our vision to climb through the ranks, get a seat, the GM seat, and then help the other one get to their position as well.

So I'm really happy for him.

How we do that and why we do that has nothing to do with compensation whatsoever.

I want to make that very clear.

On the other side, there's a set of rules that were put in place that I think can be applied to this situation.
