Joe Mansueto

He's cheap.

You get to spend the $3 million, which if it's Joe Mansueto's money, it doesn't really come out of another pocket, then who cares? And he's a small cap hit, and you get to use this a lot.

I think I'm presenting the idea

I'm resenting the idea that a U22 player is cheap because this is not cheap.

Yeah, I have to say the White Sox have a clear path because Justin Ishbia has a ton of money.

And not unlike Joe Mansueto, who owns the fire, you're cash heavy and not cash poor.

In the case of the Bears, they have a lot.

It's really hard to build a stadium by themselves.

I don't want to give any money to Justin Ishbia either.

I do understand that much like Joe Mansueto and what is going on nearby with the Chicago fire and the stadium that he is building, that when a private business person wants to build something that has a public effect and a public use, that there will be perfectly reasonable applications of tax dollars in making our lives better with the infrastructure.

Because that area of the rail yards project, it's even got a name.

How about that? It even has a sponsor associated with it, too.

And that's going to be in the South, whether you're walking to future White Sox games or even walking to Chicago Fire games.

So that is kind of like the big picture scope idea of what Joe Mansueto, the new Chicago Fire owner, and...

Projected to be, hoping to be, planning to be new White Sox owner Justin Ishbia and really tying the South Loop to downtown Chicago.

So that is one of the big selling points that Justin Ishbia and Joe Mansueto will be providing with their new stadiums and their new projects in the South Loop.

To sell everyone in Chicago that's outside of Bridgeport.

If you want to know how Bridgeport feels, you can go to socksmachine.com and you can read up.

I can duplicate this.

And so to me, that's why it's exciting because you're like, yes, I've seen Joe Mansueto do it with the Chicago Fire.

Yeah, you have.

And I look at Ishpia and I think you can

And so to me, that's why it's exciting because you're like, yes, right.

I've seen Joe Mansueto do it with the Chicago Fire.

Yeah, you have.

And I look at Ishpia and I think you can duplicate that.

I did the game this weekend at Seattle, and I just want to be very clear.

Joe Mansueto and what he's building in real time is extraordinary, right? To have an owner that's that committed, that in love with what he wants the Chicago Fire to be from, whether it's the training facility or the impending stadium.

On top of that, I think what Greg's done is he's reestablished how good he is in Major League Soccer for figuring out ways to you know, I guess, navigate and materialize a roster and continue this evolution.

I would say also on top of this, Noah Allen, remember, there was a good amount of games where he played on that left-hand side of his center back partnership.

He has to be more active.

Listen, there's been rumors that Joe Mansueto is interested in dipping his feet into the United Kingdom, Great Britain space of clubs.

Maybe he's lining up a move to pull a Rexum on Green Rock.

And who knows? Maybe it's just all the start of something beautiful.
