...they can't afford to name a street after Mike McCarthy? Ridiculous. Whats the hold up on this?

Some aldermen support Mayor Jim Schmitt’s proposal to put up a permanent tribute to the coach whose team beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 in Super Bowl XLV.

But others oppose the street name change as needlessly difficult and expensive — and quite possibly, they say, a political ploy during a hard-fought campaign season.

At least one alderman thinks the tribute should be put on hold until after the city’s mayoral election is decided in April.

I think they should commemorate Ted Thompson in some fashion as well. Name a lake after him or something. That guy made some difficult decisions and prevailed against quite a few odds.

I think Thompson Lake sounds better than Thompson Way, Ave, Dr, etc...
