Write it off what?

Isn't this whole spectacle Warren's heavy-handed approach to negotiating some kind of deal sweeteners with AH?

_________________

I think he’s doing a slightly better version of the Ricketts thing, wherein Todd acted like Wrigley could be relocated to Rosemont while also publicly saying he’d never move out of Wrigley.

It’s AH or nothing. Their tax issues are cook county issues, and cook county is so damn big it’s impossible to find a realistic alternative without relocating 50 miles away.

_________________

I would.
3 Scenarios Play Out:
1) Finalize a deal with Cook County and AH and move there as planned.
2) Back to the city they go and the Bears do NOT own their own stadium.
3) Buy and build in Lake or DuPage County.

Option 3 would likely be the most tax-friendly for the Bears, but they are going to lose out on the non-Football revenue streams of the property.

This is public negotiation....all signs still point to AH being the best financial win for the Bears.

We were told he's a whiz kid. So now he has to whiz kid things.

Like file straightforward tax paperwork.

Options 2 and 3 include taking massive losses on the property they just bought so there really is only option 1

I'm not sure what Warren is doing, but if it leads to the beloved staying in Chicago, I'll consider it a win. Hopefully, someone educates him on Cook County politics.

Did it on purpose. Higher dimensional thinking that we can't yet grasp.

That is incredibly valuable property. It could be subdivided and sold for quite possibly more than the Bears paid.

Debatable. Commercial real estate isn't really hot right now.

Now, name the county or state politician that wants the Bears to win in AH.

Pritzker is trying to stick it to the Bears.

Why? They don't help his political ambitions?

That guy is disgustingly obese. There's no way that 5 ft belt is holding his pants up. How does he really do it?

It’s old-timey carnival grotesquerie. 150 years ago he’d have been displayed across the country in a big tent holding a loaf of bread or a turkey leg; now he’s issuing public health mandates.

What a world.

Clearly the City of Chicago is trying to stick it to the Bears and they are using Pritzker and/or the Cook County Assessors Office to do so.

I think JB had some work done, he looked noticeably less fat (though still huge) in the pride parade. Probably felt he needed to for a presidential run.

He'll be as small as Al Sharpton in 2 years.

Not. A. Chance. Fatty knows, I know, everybody knows that Gastric Band Surgery will end up killing him. He'll blow his fucking guts out and the rubber band with it.

All these big football teams, they write off everything.

They bought it for 200 million. They’ll be able to get that back. But only after years of paying taxes on it. So yeah, after about 5 years, once they can’t get this done, it will be a loss. But they’ll get 200 million back.

I said it at the beginning. The mccaskeys won’t get this done. In 5 years, once they realize they can’t do it, they’ll sell the bears with this land and the new owner will get it done.

And half of them have heart problems!
