I read that Kiran is working at LT with the 2nd team. It would be great if his injury history is behind him. (Torn quad, torn calf, elbow and undisclosed leg injuries from his senior year till last season). That's a lot for such a young guy. I don't recall any player being injury free after having so many in a short period of time.

Something I've experienced my entire adult life is a blatant Chicago arrogance. I went to IU and many Chicagoans came down to Bloomington. They didn't say they were from Chicago. Instead, they were from the city. If you weren't from there you simply knew nothing about life. They learning quickly that us Indiana hicks weren't as naive to life as they assumed. Fast forward to now. Some of the radio and TV rants I have heard are simply 1984 all over again. The people calling in are simply ignorant and falsely superior. Heck, some Chicagoans don't even respect or recognize the suburbs of Chicago. They are crying like Indiana can't handle a team like the Bears. Indy hosted a Superbowl and it was first class. Indy also hosts the world's largest sporting event, with a seating capacity of over 300k at IMS for over a hundred years. I'm five years, Chicagoans will marvel at what Indiana pulled off and regret giving up their season tickets to the hayseeds of the region.

The better situation Indiana put them in will only raise value of the team.

It's a tax scenario. It's like they own, but don't. They get the tax benefit from leading and also get the profit benefit as a full owner. They also get year round control and additional moneys that go with concerts etc.

I forgot to mention, multiple parking garages and tailgating areas. There will be Uber lanes, bus lanes and train shuttles, plus every fan will be able to drive and park if they choose. They want a year round venue..

My guy said, they want to build Bearville. Museums, attractions, restaurants, hotels and bars. There are already two casinos in the area. A year round venue. Indiana will build special ramps on the toll road and other highway. Excavation will occur to remove any slag. A golf course is currently on some of it. Trust me, this will be done really well. Welcome to the Hoosier State. Bear down! PS: can someone perform a wellness check on our favorite author?

I would have done that. Thing is Sweat isn't as good as Verse, so Cleveland probably would've needed more in draft capital. Plus, Sweat makes a lot more...

Yes. Now I'm seeing videos Aaron Donald staying in game shape.

Great trade for the Browns and their future. It's only great for the Rams if they win the Superbowl.

Yes. Indiana has already offered more than Illinois can come up with. The family is trying to be loyal to Illinois at the cost of hundreds of millions. My loyalty would honestly end there.

Puck the Fackers!

Everyone is drafted to replace someone.

Heck, I remember that he was a prime trade candidate last year and definitely getting cut this year. He's still a captain and most importantly, still here.

Illinois income tax is 2 percent higher than Indiana. The sales tax in Cook county is 3.5 percent higher than the Indy Metro area. Property taxes and housing are ridiculously higher in Illinois. Jurko lives in Indiana and is constantly saying he prefers the "more house, less money" lifestyle of Indiana. That's coming from a native Chicagoan. Game checks are taxed in the state the stadium is in. I'm not sure about signing bonuses.

Enjoy Grizz! I personally hate Soldier Field, but have had some great experiences there.
