The loyalists, the diehard fans, the day one's, they made this all possible. It's a testament to the people we have here in this city as well as our fanbase everywhere around the world.

This city had endured a lot of nonsense over the years. A lot of media jabs. This deal here just provided the coup de grace. [BLEEP] them. We've won. We've now had the last laugh in all of this. Meanwhile, you have Chicago getting up in arms about supporting the Bears for a new stadium, and you have the Chiefs talking about leaving Arrowhead. 

Yeah, the national media can kiss my [BLEEP] now. [BLEEP] you very much!

This is exactly why the owner's will instantly approve the deal.  The time of cities funding stadiums is starting to come to a close; getting a deal with the city is an automatic 'yes'.
