R.I.P Stacey King

[Adam Hoge @AdamHoge]

Massive loss for Chicago. For me, he’ll forever be the voice of so many iconic Derrick Rose highlights

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Stacey King has passed away at 59 years old. A three-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls across eight NBA seasons after being the No. 6 pick in the 1989 draft, and a beloved broadcaster for the team in his post-playing career.

We are devastated by the passing of 3x NBA Champion and beloved broadcaster Stacey King.

My statement on the Chicago Bears “statement.”

[Brenden Moore @brendenmoore13]

Sen. Bill Cunningham, D-Chicago, tells me that Bears President Kevin Warren called him this morning and told him they were putting out the statement about moving forward in Hammond. But... Cunningham added this: "He also said he looks forward to continuing discussions with me."

[Silvy @WaddleandSilvy]

Focus is Arlington Heights.
Focus is downtown lakefront
Focus is Arlington Heights
Focus is Hammond.

The #Bears are on the stadium carousel like they used to ride the QB carousel.

The “intent” is to build there.

We’ll see.

[Josh Madsen @JMads34]

@TheNotoriousADD @GBraggsJr23 @tjwooowhit Yeah, and no date or timeline was in the statement so things still have to be at least somewhat fluid

Aka. Bears had to make this announcement to pressure Illinois to call a summer session. They cannot wait until November.

Illinois can come back from the dead but will they?

[Josh Madsen @JMads34]

Exactly as I thought, buckle in #Bears fans

[Courtney Cronin @CourtneyRCronin]

While I’m being told that the Bears announcement on Hammond is “real”,
i.e. not a leverage play, a league source told me that the Bears leaving the state is not a done deal. Per source, Indiana is in the lead right now, but “Illinois can still get back in the race,” granted the state has a lot of ground to make up after not passing legislation that would have insured the Bears property tax certainty.

[Ben Szalinski @BenSzalinski]

It’s worth noting the Bears said quite a few times that they were focused on Arlington Heights.
But at least the Bears now say where their focus is between Indiana/Illinois. Will it create more leverage in Illinois? We’ll see. Likely a long way to go in this process still
