NEW: from @GovPritzker:   "The Governor's Office has remained in conversation with the Bears about their plans in Illinois throughout the summer.   "Today, Governor Pritzker was grateful to meet in Illinois with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Pat Ryan, Speaker Emanuel "Chris" Welch, Rep. Kam Buckner, and Sen. Bill Cunningham.   "The Governor and General Assembly leadership were glad to participate in a productive meeting focused on keeping the Bears in Illinois and protecting taxpayers."

Clearly Pritzker is gonna pull a deal to keep the Bears in IL out of his back pocket before the election in order to look like a hero. The Bears are in on it as well.

Taxpayers need protection from Pritzker. All the money that guys blown through, he could have at least spent some to do something good and keep the Bears.

“Protecting taxpayers and Pritzker should never be mentioned in the same sentence

Hmmm… I’d love to see a deal that “protects taxpayers”. It’s called pay your share. If the current rate says the Bears pay $75 million. Then the Bears should pay $75 million. We don’t get breaks, nor should a business that brings nothing to the table.

I still think the Bears end up in Arlington Heights. But the state is gonna have to move from where they are. Roger Goodell can’t save them. He works for the owners, including George McCaskey. It’s a competitive marketplace.

Apparently they think Pat Ryan has a say in what the Halas/McCaskeys decide to do.

Pritzker is between a rock and a hard place. He plans to announce a run for president, but he doesn’t want to be the IL governor ‘who lost the Bears.’ He’s trying to shift all blame to Chicago Mayor Johnson.

Goddell is gonna get to own a piece of the Bears for the NFL by dropping $1B into redeveloping Soldier Field. Stay tuned.

Could there be some truth to rumor that he’s in line for the FSU AD job? Would make sense why Pat Ryan is involved now.
