About this episode
Dan Bernstein discusses the Chicago Bears' failed stadium efforts and the implications for the team and the White Sox.
Dan Bernstein breaks down the collapse of the Chicago Bears' stadium efforts with Illinois lawmakers and doesn’t mince words—placing the bulk of the blame squarely on team president Kevin Warren. 0:00 Bears 20:50 Impact on White Sox 27:50 White Sox 39:00 NBA 50:00 Birds With the “megaprojects” bill failing to deliver, where do the Bears realistically go from here? Hammond, Indiana? Don’t count on it. Dan explores the viable paths forward to keep the Bears in Illinois—something George McCaskey has consistently said he wants—and what a workable deal could look like in the current political and economic climate. The ripple effects extend beyond Halas Hall. The White Sox were also counting on movement tied to the same legislative push, though at least the on-field product has been surprisingly entertaining this spring. Plus, a look ahead at what could become a familiar June scene for years to come: Victor Wembanyama making his first NBA Finals appearance—with the potential to dominate the league for the next decade. And in a moment straight out of Hitchcock, Dan recounts his unexpected run-in with an aggressive flock of birds. We wrap things up with DBU Picks, presented by MyBookie…
