This hour is brought to you by Cars for Kids. Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score. Did you hear the way Max Crosby was happy listening to the way Caleb Williams talked about Ben Johnson? He is like a player. He wants to whoop everybody's ass. Cut the rope. Every coach, every defense, and for me, I love it. Oh, the entire podcast, both these dudes, it was love building on love. Well, humongous man crush, dude. Yeah. Yep, it's officially a bromance. Or was it Caleb Williams selling something and Max Crosby buying what he was selling? Who is this? Hello, this is Michael Scott, regional manager. Well, this is William M. Buttlicker. Hello, Mr. Buttlicker. How may we help you? Michael, I like the sound of your voice.
You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to buy $1 million worth of paper products today. maybe Max Crosby was gathering data on a team that he could play for and maybe Caleb Williams was saying hey if you want to you know come join us over here not death row but death row vibes join me and together we can rule the NFL father and son Layla Rahimi Marshall Harris Mark Grody middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score Sorry we're a little late. We want to remind you that Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, the governor of the state from 2009 to 2015, is going to join us to talk about this issue. And we got some breaking news on the Bears Stadium and the meeting that wasn't, that is affecting everybody this morning in Springfield.
It was scheduled by the Revenue and Finance Committee for 8 a.m. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score, by the way. We appreciate you joining us. And I just hope everybody's not wasting our time. Matt Hill just posted this on Twitter. He is the Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications to Governor Pritzker. Illinois was ready to move this bill forward, he says, at 9-11 a.m. After a productive three-hour meeting yesterday, the Bears leaders requested the ILGA pause the hearing to make further tweaks to the bill. This morning, we were surprised to see a statement lauding Indiana and ignoring Illinois. Why is this giving me WWE vibes? By golly, that's Kevin Ward's music. And then he comes in with like, hey, by the way, we're going to go talk to Indiana instead of continuing this conversation with you guys because we want to let you know we're serious about leaving town if you don't give us exactly what we want.
You're serious about leaving town because you did this all out of order. And at this point, your dog and pony show either needs to be real or it needs to stop wasting time and therefore money because you've got an empty plot of land in Arlington Heights that has been sitting vacant for three years. And you're not a real estate investment trust. So what do you want to do here? You decided that you wanted to cancel this meeting, Bears, that according to the state information that we get, that according to Governor Pritzker's office. So what's your plan now? Do you have a statement from the Bears talking about this, Marshall? What's the latest from the Bears? What are they saying right now as they decide to cancel?
Cancel this meeting. Well, yes, we do have a statement from the Bears that, you know, you can't help but correlate it to the cancellation of said meeting that you just described. And the fact that it was the Bears who called off the meeting that was supposed to take place today. And here's what the statement says. We are committed to finishing the remaining site specific necessary due diligence to support our vision to build a world class stadium near the Wolf Lake area in Hammond, Indiana. We appreciate the leadership shown by Governor Braun, Speaker Huston, Senator Mishler and the members of the Indiana General Assembly in establishing this critical framework and path forward to deliver a premier venue.
for all of Chicagoland, and a destination for Bears fans and visitors from across the globe. We value our partnership and look forward to continuing to build our working relationship together.
