But, you know, we'll see.

There have been plenty of card players who have been forced to play a bluff hand.

Maybe that'll happen with the Bears.

I would think if you were going to write a thesis about the best way to interact in a legislative process,

You would not point to the Bears' effort as a textbook case of how to do that from start to finish.

As I said before, it's been frustrating dealing with the Bears, and I think it was because they never really grasped how unusual of a path they've chosen here of trying to move

a professional franchise from one city to another within a state that is, to my knowledge, never been done via a subsidy or tax credit from the state government.

So they picked a very unusual path, and I don't think they really grasped the complications that go along with that.
