What are the latest Bears storylines discussed?
All the time, all you want. You can hear all the Bears hot takes you want. Well, that's perfect. I'll make sure I blast that in the locker room. Beautiful blast! Rahimi Harrison-Grody. Midday's Tindal 2 on 104.3 The Score. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grote on 104.3 The Score. And what a day it has been. I've probably said 670 The Score. I'm sorry. We're still on 670. So if I've dropped that detail today out of habit because we're trying to get to everything, just know I'm sorry. This is from Brendan Moore. Brendan Moore at 13 is his address on X. He is the Illinois governor and politics reporter for Capital News Illinois. This is from Governor Pritzker. Governor Pritzker adds that Kevin Warren chose not to be in the meeting yesterday with the Bears and state officials and mostly agreed on a bill.
The Bears, the governor said, was told his staff today that their statement, quote, was not some confirmation that they're moving to Indiana. Let's go to our hotline, 312-644-6070. 67 is our number. But we also want to hear from our friend Luis Medina, who is the senior writer at Bleacher Nation. He covers the Bears. Luis is an incredible amount of information. I used to work with him at NBC Sports Chicago. He was part of the Outside the Ivy show, too. And Luis, what's your take on all of this before we get into some of the actual football talk?
First of all, good afternoon. I'm so excited to be on the score. I grew up listening to this station, and it was a caller at one point, so now to be on as a guest on this show is such an honor. As for the Bears, it's hilarious. Um... First of all, it's kind of sad because I just see everyone arguing about they should go here and they should go there. The reality is the people that are arguing so much and so passionately about this are the ones who are getting priced out of no matter where the new stadium is. And that kind of bums me out to think about it. It's also kind of funny that Indiana and Illinois are going through all these hoops for the right to host a Super Bowl once every 20 years. If you think about how the Super Bowl is rotated, I...
Months every 15 to 20 years is what you can hope for. And then it's also kind of funny with I saw this on on Capital Facts with, you know, Illinois, like the Bears, the idea of the Bears using Indiana trolls to kind of push this narrative only to have to fight those trolls for themselves. Like you couldn't have scripted this any better if you were trying to write a comedy about a team trying to build a stadium.
Luis, we're always happy to have you on. You do great work. So you're welcome on the score anytime. We're glad that this checked off a box for you.
This is a moment. This is a moment for the history books.
It's a moment all the way around. Let's be honest in where we are in the day that you just happen to be on the show with us. So you're the senior writer at Bleacher Nation Bears. You can find him on the artist formerly known as Twitter at LCM1986. That's LCM1986. He also joins us here on Twitch. Look, Luis, the Bears have some decisions to make. We've already seen some players being offloaded by other teams. What ultimately do you think the Bears will do in terms of waiving players to perhaps create some cap room? Or are they going to stand pat and maybe just restructure everybody's contract?
So I don't think they can stand Pat based on what Ben Johnson said at the end of the year press conference about how there's so much turnover every year. You're never going to get the same team again. So I imagine they'll try and restructure some contracts. Cole Komet is high on that priority list because, you know, you see how often they run out of those two tight end sets. You see how important he is as a run blocker. pass blocker, pass catcher. So I think that's a guy. He's also a local guy, so he might take a hometown discount. DeAndre Swift has publicly stated how much he wants to stay. And to me, I read that as a, please give me an extension. Please give me a new deal. I'm willing to negotiate. After that, you're going to see some restructures, possibly with DJ Moore.
