If it was alcoholism, that is a bad way to go out. But sometimes the pain is too much, and death is a blessing.

May he RIP.

ESPN site has a list of NFL owners and two teams caught my eye, the Cardinals and the Bears. They show Michael Bidwill for the Cardinals and the McCaskey Family for the Bears. So, I'm asking if Michael bought out his siblings, and if so were any financial considerations disclosed?

I think he is just the principal owner, chairman, and president of the team, so he gets listed as the owner. Never heard about him buying any family out.

Ya, have to wait until 2028, after the locker room is done.

According to Lougle, Michael is also now the sole owner ..and none of his siblings are owners. Can't find any real evidence of a transaction, though...but.....

Say what you will about Jim, he wanted to win and he’d do anything to do it. You wish Bidwill had half the fire.

class act - i bet he wore socks to weddings

Correct and the Bears currently do not have one with the death of Virginia Halas McCaskey.

It says that the Bears are still pwned by the McCaskey FAMILY.

Claire was the Managing Partner like Micheal is now. Prior, she was always listed as the owner. The McCaskey family hasn't picked a new Managing Partner.

It's like the Dbacks. Kendrick isn't THE owner, this ownership group made him the Managing Partner.

Same as when Colangelo "owned" the Suns when his piece of the pie was actually only 18%.

But how much scotch and blow have you done?

I don't wish illness, dismemberment or death on anyone...and it's really sad Irsay died youngish, but based on his lifestyle, if you had him living into his 80s on your Bingo Card - you needed a new card.

Same goes with Steve Keim. Stuff like this should be a wake up call to him and others.
