It’s Election Day, but everyone wants to talk about Justin Fields being traded. Ben riffs. Tom Shaer exhorts Chicagoans to learn to read between the lines of news stories in general and about the Bears lakefront stadium plans in particular. He believes the Bears still want to build a stadium in Arlington Heights. Ben and Tom gently spar a bit over politics before agreeing on this—Trump’s got to go. Tom is a longtime sportscaster on Channel 5 and the Score radio station and now a semi-retired media consultant.
