Upon reading the article again, it kinda just sounds like speculation from the author, and not much meat behind it. At least that's my impression. But I can still dream...

Yeah, so after coming down from the euphoria I got from reading that "article," I've come to the conclusion that's it's BS. I did some digging, and earlier in the day there was a tweet from Bovoda (an online sports book) stating, without any sources, that Bezos is the frontrunner to buy the Bears. It seems like the author from the SI article just took that and ran with it. Sorry for the false hope. Journalism these days sucks!!!

Damn. We were all expecting the deal to be finalized this week.

Yeah, a year or so ago, SI fired a lot of their writers and use a lot of AI generated articles now. So, you have to be careful.

Also, I had to laugh at the author's bio. It really only notes that he covered the 49er's for 3 years on radio in the mid-80's...

So far reports are that Bezos is to set buy the Commanders, Jets, and Bears and rename them the Jeffs, Bezos' and the Amazons.

I thought the author was that guy who is from San Jose and his neighbor in Santa Clara said that Kyle Shanahan is coming to the Bears.

I was fooled by a troll article that said the Bears hired Ryan Day from OSU. For a moment I thought it was legit, because it sounded like what the Bears would do.

At which point, the NFL will determine "Amazons" is derogatory to large women, and they will again be the Washington Football Team as they seek another new name.
And Jeff is derogatory to the derpy pets in the "My name is Jeff" memes leading to the NY TheyThems in their non offensive institutional grey uniforms lead by an advisory collective.

Not buying it. Anyone know any billionaires who’d be interested?

Bezos would make the new stadium an Amazon warehouse and returns center.
