## Resource

Dan Bernstein discusses the development that has emerged: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has reportedly met with Illinois lawmakers to discuss the team's stadium situation. If the Bears insist their focus remains on a potential move to Hammond, Indiana, why is the commissioner getting involved now? 0:00 Bears 29:45 Swanson 33:45 White Sox 38:00 Jeter and the Bears 43:30 NFL Social Media Campaign Bernstein breaks down what Goodell's involvement could mean and whether it signals a major shift in the franchise's long-running stadium saga. Plus, the Cubs may have suffered a significant setback as shortstop Dansby Swanson exited their game against the Cardinals with a possible oblique injury. The White Sox, meanwhile, continued their impressive run by sweeping the Tigers in Detroit and all but locking up their division. And finally, why is the NFL leaning into a social media campaign featuring players and their wives and girlfriends? Dan examines the league's latest marketing strategy and whether it's connecting with fans or missing the mark.
