Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody, Rahimi Harrison Grody on 104.3 The Score.
We appreciate your texts and your phone calls. I have a confession about the text line, guys. Sometimes, oftentimes, when the texts are long, we can't read them because they break them up on our text line because that's just the software and we can't read them correctly or all because you have like four paragraphs out of order. And you didn't text them that way, but they just come in that way. So I'm sorry that we're not reading a lot of texts. 312-644-6767 is our number. People have been on hold. They want to talk about the Bears stadium issue. The latest, we go to John on the south side. Hi, John.
Hi, Layla. Hi, Marshall. What up?
He's off today because he can't work all of the time.
I got it. I got it. Okay, this is my point. I'm Team Chicago Bears, by the way, and I think they kind of got screwed for about two years. They're wanting to build a stadium in Chicago. Well, first off, the other stadium in Arlington Heights, that was made by Ted Phillips, so I'm sure there's probably a lot of holes in that whole purchase and stuff, and that's probably why there's a lot of issues. But anyway, what I want to say is, I'm getting nervous now. I'm sorry, guys.
It happens. It's just us. You don't even want to know about my morning where I practically tripped over myself many times.
Okay. The Bears have tried to go to Chicago many times, and it's not working. Also, the taxpayers... Repeatedly, I've heard on the airwaves, they don't want to pay for the Bears. They don't want to pay for the Bears. They don't want to pay for the Bears. This is all Chicago. Hey, guess what? We're out of here. Now you can cry about it while they're in Indiana. Have a good one, guys.
Love you. I mean, succinctly put. Love you, John. You did great. Succinctly put, though, right? And it's understandable from both sides. I understand why taxpayers don't want to pay for another stadium.
How are the Bears' stadium plans affecting fans' emotions?
And I understand why the Bears are like, we want somebody to pay for our stadium.
And it's not like they're the only ones who wanted somebody to pay for their stadium.
That's been a thing. Yeah.
Kansas City Chiefs. Dallas Cowboys.
Go down the list. There's a lot of public stadiums, but the thing is, that's no longer in vogue.
Okay, I did get this text because it's one line. 574. I'm sorry for you guys that you had an entire program ready to go today, and now you're having to do this. And guess what? We'll keep doing it because it's your money. It's the team you talk about, and that's our responsibility. As much as I'm like, okay, kids, kids, stop fighting. Stop. But stop it. I will turn this car around. And now I think the car is being turned around. Somebody's turning around the car.
Definitely exited to a rest stop where we're going to decide if we're going to proceed with the rest of this trip. That is definitely where we are at this time.
The rest stop. That kills me. 312-644-6767. How about Sean in Romeoville? Hi, Sean.
First time calling your show.
Thank you.
Thank you for calling.
Yeah, I'm home sick today. Usually I'm listening to you guys when I'm at school in my office, but you guys are like therapy for me sometimes, so cool to call. You know, it's interesting. This doesn't really shake me up the way I thought it would. I mean, I feel more apathy than anything. I think maybe if they were moving to, like, Kenosha, you know, for obvious reasons that might bother me. But, you know, really as a fan, the Bears have just, they've been bad for so long or inconsistent for so long. I just want them to be good. So, I mean, that's, I mean, I don't go to games much anyway. You know, I like watching from the comfort of my own home. But I really, I just want them to be a really good football team.
that's competitive and gives me a reason to watch every week. Someone might have mentioned this earlier, but I think the Giants actually play in New Jersey.
Both the Giants and Jets play in New Jersey.
What are the taxpayers' concerns regarding funding for the Bears' stadium?
Giants and Jets, yeah. Someone might have mentioned that earlier. But really, yeah, I just want them to be a really good football team.
