I assumed the Arlington Heights land was a sweetener for whatever billionaire buys the franchise when Virginia dies. The McCaskeys don't have the money to build a stadium and any Arlington Heights funded plan will be a second rate stadium.

Just can't fathom they'll do anything drastic at her age and can't fathom her failkids want to deal with it afterwards.

I was gonna say the most recent Chicago news I heard of him was selling his condo in trump tower at a big loss but Wikipedia is telling me that was in 2010 and I thought it was during his presidency (prez sexy rexy) so I have no idea, and gently caress time

e: think cutler may have had a similar situation more recently?

Kyle Orton, Jay Cutler, Rex Grossman. The trinity of high play Chicago holds all QBs to

I will never forgive Da Bears for having both Rex "The Sex Cannon" Grossman and Nick "Big Dick Nick" Foles on the roster at various points but never at the same time. I don't care that Grossman wasn't any good by 2014, we were denied a powerful confluence of sexual energy.

I really wish every new stadium wasn't built specifically to host the Super Bowl two years later. It is a crime having the NFC North so domed.

I would be happier about the state of the Vikings' new stadium if it leaned into the whole thing harder. US Bank Stadium has points to recommend it, the transparent roof and front wall are neat party tricks, but from the outside it doesn't really look like anything. Except the roof, which is a hideous bank billboard.

I'd have loved to see it lean all the way into the Viking aesthetics. The big digital screen out front is mounted as the sail on a freakin' longship, for Pete's sake! Do more of that. Shape the roof like a Nordic hall. Give the interior carven aesthetics. A Valhalla of football. I'm sure this would get shot down for being corny and niche, but modern pro sports are already garish exaggerated cartoons of the games they play, and the culture around them is no different. If you're going to embrace that, and you should, I feel like you should go all the way.

It's a man's game, but boys will play

Last night I had a dream that the Vikings were 13-3 and playing in the playoffs, and when they received a punt in the 4th quarter of a close game, the returner just caught the ball and punted it back to the other team. I absolutely believe they could blow a playoff game in this way

if it makes you feel better, if they were 13-3 that was just a meaningless (probably) final game of the regular season

It's going to happpen.
Every bears head coach going back to Ditka beat GB in Chicago their first year.
Each of them.

Ditka didn't because of the strike. He did the next season.
