The Bear’s Den, June 8, 2026

THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL

BEARSSSSSS

Of course Indiana is leverage for the Bears in Illinois

Florio spills what he somewhat laughingly considers his wisdom and wit on the Bear stadium push. He may be right, he may be wrong. His track record in being right is… spotty… but he’s no Jason La Canfora when it comes to being wrong, so who knows he may be right on the money. PS: In case you haven’t been following, JLC got canned from his radio job three months ago in Baltimore.

Bears fans, have you ever actually been to Hammond?

Ken’s note: I lived for a summer in Calumet City on a street where if you walked across it you were in Indiana. It was OK. Then again, that was 1979 so… it’s been a minute. Column by Neil Steinburg in the Sun Times.

Ibid with the blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Save yourself the angst and just argue about it below in the comments like usual. You know it’s going to happen. I know it’s going to happen. No need to click above and hear other people doing what we could do ourselves. Again.

Chicago businesses ‘hurt’ and concerned over Bears plan to move ahead with Hammond stadium

No, they aren’t. Don’t be pedantic. If in doubt, see the blah blah blah blah blah blah blah links above.

Packers Discussion: How do you feel about the Christian Watson extension?

Four years, never reached 630 yards in a season. Was outgained by DJ, Rome AND Luther in 2025. $27.5 million per? I’m thrilled they spent that kind of money on a #3 WR.
