KAT being the worst possible Wemby matchup makes you appreciate just how rare his skill set is. One of the best shooting bigs ever, but also a great rebounder, skilled driver, very good stationary passer, and has enough weight on him not to get pushed around. 1 of 1 talent.

Statement from Matt Hill, the spokesperson for Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "The Bears have built a storied legacy in Illinois for over 100 years but have spent the last six years, and especially the last few months, shifting their position on a stadium location. That has hindered their progress. Today appears to be another instance of that after Illinois leaders have been working with the Bears in good faith. Governor Pritzker has always been clear that he wants the Bears to stay in Illinois and still remains open to a sensible solution that protects taxpayers."
Hoosiers, help me welcome the Chicago Bears to our great state!
We look forward to building a partnership as strong as the '85 Bears defense, creating opportunities and economic growth that will benefit our state and the Bears organization for decades to come.
An NFL franchise in Northwest Indiana will be an economic boost to the entire region like we haven’t seen before.
Thank you to Speaker Huston, the legislature, and Mayor McDermott for their partnership. I also want to thank the entire Chicago Bears organization for their partnership and commitment in making this move a reality.
Welcome to Indiana!
@BarbChairScott@chi_lando Does Stan Kroenke have the bandwith to own another sports franchise? Asking for a fanbase.
Or dude who’s in line to buy the White Sox… someone help
Why is Indiana so thirsty to screw over their taxpayers?
What is the perceived benefit for them?
It’s not like visiting fans are going to travel, all bears season ticket holders & fans aren’t moving to Indiana…
What’s going on?
