One ESPN talker with a rooting interest says Russell Wilson would have a 'home' in Chicago

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, a former Wisconsin star, could be sporting a Chicago Bears jersey next season.

Could former Wisconsin star Russell Wilson do the unthinkable and play for the Chicago Bears?

Gasp.

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback is reportedly unhappy with his current situation. Although he hasn't asked for a trade, his agent, Mark Rodgers, said he wants to stay in Seattle, but the only teams he would to go to are the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders and Chicago Bears.

Da Bears?

What, does Ciara like Chicago-style hotdogs?

Wilson's future was a hot topic on ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption" the other day. Former Washington Post columnists Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon had a lively discussion.

You see, Wilbon grew up in Chicago and is still a Bears fan.

"Russell Wilson has been beat the hell up," said Wilbon. "He seems like he's about five years older in football years than he actually is because he's been beat the hell up.

"At least one of those teams, the Bears, he'd be beat the hell up twice as much because they don't have an offensive line.

"It's interesting. I would die and go to Heaven. You know what, I'd give Russell Wilson my apartment in Chicago. He can just use that. I'd give him the apartment and the car for free. Just come on. Come on in."

Said Kornehiser, "Russell Wilson would use your apartment in Chicago as a closet."

Touché.
