00:00So, Mark, you spent last week in New Orleans at the Super Bowl and you're getting ready
00:04to go to the NBA All-Star Game in San Francisco.
00:07You talked to a lot of people in the business who would be in a position to know such things,
00:12but I just wonder, even though what you just said is valid and I don't think a huge surprise
00:16to people in Chicago, are there people out there interested or have inquired or might
00:22inquire now about buying the Bears?
00:26Short answer is yes, and quite a few.
00:30This is arguably the most valuable, or potentially the most valuable team in the NFL.
00:38Greatest market here in Chicago, great history, and a team that hasn't settled its stadium
00:45situation yet and has a lot of margin on the upside financially if they chose to exploit
00:54those opportunities that are there.
00:57That all having been said, from everything that I have seen personally, I have heard
01:04the McCaskey family and this next generation, led by George, are absolutely committed to
01:11keeping the team within the family and that even though it is highly likely they will
01:19get approached, I would expect every offer to be rebuffed, even what I would expect to
01:26be some very significant proposals.
