Great news everybody! The Bears Board of Directors has voted to advance its plans for a stadium in Hammond. So in just a few short years I may be able to hand some tax money to a billionaire nfl owner every time I go to the local bar.
I would just like it noted that I am currently trapped in a southern Indiana bar listening to 70+ yo people singing folk songs on open mic night.
I blame stripes.
Oh joy another joint practice with da bears. Wonder how many season ending injuries we get this time…

Not the main focus here but Turner confirms he’s in talks for an extension.

Well, this is the final real year of Watson’s contract; 2027-30 are all void years (yes, 4 void years!). So while he’s headed to FA, he’ll still be on the Browns’ books for 35, 26, 17 and 9 million through 2030.
So yeah, worst contract ever.
In all seriousness I don’t think it was a horrible trade. The Browns are hosed until they finish passing that fully guaranteed kidney stone named Deshaun Watson, so trading a DE who will turn 31 this year for a rising young player and multiple picks including a first is a reasonable move. It’s more or less what we were arguing the Bengals ought to have done with Trey before last season. You can say that they didn’t get enough for Garrett, and you would be right, but this is probably the best they were going to do.
Still great news for Burrow, Lamar and the geriatric in Pitt tho.

And if he does it again in a few years he might be visiting Hammond, Indiana: the “megaprojects” bill the Bears say they need to stay in Illinois died in the Illinois Senate last night. Today is the last day of the session and they still have to pass the budget. So it looks like we are going to find out if the Bears are serious about moving to Indiana.
