Whose side, other than his own, is Trump on? In 2016 he was accused of being a

Russian agent. Still sounds right.

Northwestern christened their new stadium last night, and beat the hell out of Penn State in the process. Ryan Field is named after Pat Ryan, billionaire founder of Aon Corporation, as well as minority owner and board member of the Chicago Bears. It cost $850 Million, seats 47,000, and is absolutely beautiful. Especially at night.

Speaking of new stadiums, the Bears need one. They hired Kevin Warren in 2023 to head up the group that was charged with getting a new stadium deal done, and that has been an absolute disaster. Three years of buffoonery. What started as a plan to build in Arlington Heights (a northwest suburb of Chicago), on the site of the former Arlington Park racetrack, which the Bears already purchased, turned to threats from the Bears that they're going to scrap that idea and move to Hammond, Indiana.

It came to a head this week when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, members of the Illinois legislature, and a representative from the Bears got together to find a way to get the Bears new stadium built in Illinois.

The representative from the Bears? Pat Ryan. He's 89 years old, and he needs this headache like he needs a kick in the shin. He did get Ryan Field built in Evanston for under $1 Billion, so there's still hope that the Bears will stay local.
