Spiegel and Holmes

Good five, Spieck.

Afternoons on the score.

Isn't it fair to say we were staring into the abyss?

Andrew Brant is going to join us at 3 o'clock.

He's gone through some of this stadium stuff before.

We can talk to him about that.

Thanks to, I really appreciate Craig breaking things up for us today as we got started

on this stuff.

I found that to be very pleasant.

Good.

Yeah, you know, it's that time of year.

But I got to tell you, man, I have not thought it was possible late last night as you

were hearing things. And then this morning, as we saw various tweets, and we heard that the Illinois

legislature canceled what was supposed to be a session where they would get closer and maybe even vote or move towards a vote?

They canceled that.

Then we knew this had become something a little bit more real.

But for me, since the Bears statement got released, it has been kind of a steady and sort of inexorable slide back to where I've been,

where I personally will not believe they're leaving the state until they announce they're leaving the state.

I think that that's a fair way to look at this, Speegs.

I think that part's a fair way to look at this, Spiegs. I think that part of this is emotional manipulation.

Who said that?
