I think the point is that if a kid has personality, competitiveness, and talent, he will obviously be ranked higher. Those traits are part of the rankings. Composite recruiting rankings are generally pretty good. Maybe Underwood is better, maybe not. He's had misses along with his hits just...

What happened to Weah-he looked lost out there yesterday. He's pretty much unplayable at this point.

or Naperville. Someone earlier mentioned Balogun's story--it's crazy. His Mother was denied boarding on her flight back to the UK because she was too pregnant. That's why he was born in the US and eligible for the USMNT.

I don't want to argue just to argue which I'm afraid we're doing now, but the Milken report is measure different things. "The report does not measure facility investment, but such factors as wage and job growth, high-tech GDP, broadband access, housing affordability and economic inequality...

I'd hate for actual facts and data to get in the way of your pre-existing mindset. And to the other poster--it's not renewing leases. It's new projects. It's really pretty easy to click through one link to the actual data, but I'll help you...

It pretty much disproves the thesis that no new jobs are coming to Chicago, which was always ridiculous. Do you like this article better? https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/chicago-corporate-relocations-top-ranking-site-selection-magazine/

Tax breaks are (at least partially) paying for the stadium. Taxpayers are being asked to give up $100MM+ every year forever. And to your other point, we don't know where they would moving from or where jobs are coming from. A quick google search shows...

The problem is what they were doing was screwing up. Again and again.

I'm not missing it at all. I believe (and many, many studies back it up) that the benefits are small. 8 home games/year. Maybe some concerts? I think the economic benefit from 10K new residents greatly outweighs the benefit from 8 home games where most fans drive in for the game and then...

And I'm not sure that giving tax breaks to billionaire sports team owners plays well politically either.

Fair point, and residential real estate will have a higher tax revenue. Really just wanted to show that AH and the schools will be fine if the Bears don't go there. I just don't understand why folks think it's so bad for IL if the Bears move. The public always loses in publicly funded...

Many problems with this--the Bears bought the property knowing what the property tax rate is, and property is taxed even before the stadium is built. It's a pretty simple formula based on property value. And since the Bears purchased the land for $197MM, pretty much by definition, its value is...

Latex sales?
