On the Bulls Eye: 3 NEW Draft Prospects for Chicago to Watch This Week!

This is my favorite article to write every week , mostly because it’s how I cope with Chicago’s mediocrity. Last night, the Bulls beat the Utah Jazz in the clutch. It was a great game, but watching Utah’s young core outplay what the Bulls put on the floor left me jealous. I want my team to have something that feels like a real future, too. With the NBA trade deadline approaching fast, the Bulls have a chance to trade for that kind of young core. Personally, though, I’d rather they get it ...

Rockies sign Willi Castro

The Colorado Rockies are bringing another veteran free agent into the fold, as ESPN’s Jorge Castillo reported Thursday afternoon that Willi Castro will be donning purple pinstripes on a two-year, $12.8 million deal.

The Johnnies returned to Madison Square Garden after two impressive away wins against Butler and Creighton.

Some were talking about the […]

5-Round Chicago Bears Mock Draft: Opportunity over Urgency

Teams that draft outside of the top fifteen or twenty spots have far less freedom to target positions of need than rebuilding teams. Instead, they must take the best players that fall to them while keeping in mind roster weaknesses. They must also leverage redundancies on their roster by trading away older and higher-paid players […]

Cubs position player pitchers: Andrew Romine

After the Cubs’ trade deadline selloff in 2021, the team was left pretty much bereft of talent. The roster resembled a waiver wire list (and, in fact, quite a few had actually come via waivers). They had lost 10 of 12, including being swept by the White Sox, entering the last of a four-game series […]

Are Rams getting healthy at the right time?

The Los Angeles Rams started the season 9-2 before losing three of their final six games.

Can Quinn Hughes Pull Off the "Joe Thornton"?

Joe Thornton is a one-of-a-kind figure in NHL history. It isn't just because of his work-of-art beard, unique status as a playmaking power forward, or his creative goal celebration ideas. (On a related note: congrats on your recent Rooster Trick, old friend Marat Khusnutdinov.) When Thornton li...

The second of three Chicago Bears injury report updates ahead of the team’s upcoming NFC Divisional Round game against the Los Angeles Rams is out.
