## Resource

Dan Bernstein breaks down the timeline surrounding the Bears’ stadium saga—focusing on the collapse of the Illinois PILOT megaproject deal and the team’s public statements along the way. He revisits a key question: have the Bears been misleading, intentionally or not? 0:00 Bears 27:00 Cubs 35:00 NBA 47:00 Topgolf - Naperville Time and again, the organization has insisted the decision is down to just two sites—Arlington Heights and Hammond, Indiana. But Chicago’s mayor continues to openly push the lakefront as a legitimate contender, offering a very different narrative. So what’s really going on? Are the Bears being deceptive, or is this simply dysfunction and mixed messaging? Who’s telling the truth—and why does it matter? Plus, the Cubs’ latest loss felt all too familiar offensively—but somehow different. The NBA Finals tip off tonight, and we highlight a feel-good story out of Naperville involving Topgolf.
