THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Bears stadium bill in the balance as Springfield session winds down Politicians are the Devil. The Bears’ tenacious rushing attack keyed their offense last season. Recapturing that will be a challenge. Most things in the NFL are. Ben Johnson: Bears QB room in ‘different place than it was a year […]
Charlotte Knights 12, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 5Charlotte (28-26) fell into a four-run pit, then stormed back with a 12-5 romp. Jacob Gonzalez, once again, front and center, and at this point the White Sox brass must be running out of excuses to keep him down. Gonzalez wasted no time, unloading his 17th bomb in the […]
By now, you’ve all seen the Caleb Williams throw to Rome Odunze from Thursday’s OTA at Halas Hall. If you missed it by chance, here you go, courtesy of the Chicago Bears. Sure, it’s just practice. And okay, it’s not even a live scrimmage. But that clip has people feeling some kind of way. Here […]
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were blanked by Indianapolis (Pirates), 3-0. Javier Assad started and left the game after issuing a one-out walk in the fifth. But Luis Peralta then let that run score and two more of his own, so technically Assad got the loss. The final line on Assad was one run on […]
After exciting rookie Kendry Rojas got scratched from his start with elbow soreness (sigh), Simeon Woods Richardson (sigh, again) stepped in for a spot start which went about as well as expected. Also bad for the Twins, they were facing current AL Cy Young candidate Davis Martin (triple sigh). Let’s get into it. Woods Richardson […]
Go get ‘em, Colin.
It didn’t look like the feeble-hitting Twins would have much chance against Davis Martin, and that turned out to be right. And it didn’t look like the Sox would struggle against an emergency starter rushed into action very shortly before game time, and that turned out to be right, too. Especially thanks to the incompetence […]
For well over a century now, these teams have been at each other's throats — and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Last week, it was reported that Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson wasn’t in attendance for the early voluntary Phase of workouts at Halas Hall. This isn’t anything new for Johnson, as he regularly spends the offseason working out at home while spending time with family, but once the mandatory portion of the offseason came around, […]

Defense wins championships. That saying has been proven in basketball across multiple eras by the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Hakeem Olajuwon, Ben Wallace, Kevin Garnett, Kawhi Leonard, and James Harden; however, one of these examples is not like the others. James Harden’s Defense Fails Again For the seventeenth time in his […] The post James Harden Just Proved That Defense Wins Championships appeared first on The Lead .
The Cubs finally snapped their 10-game losing streak Wednesday night in Pittsburgh and you could almost feel the sigh of relief on the North Side of Chicago. They posted 10 runs against the Pirates while holding the Buccos to just four. Under ordinary circumstances I’d just want to savor this win and not worry about […]
Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III is in store for a second-year leap during the 2026 NFL season.
If the White Sox aren’t all exhausted from running around the bases so much in last night’s 15-2 lambasting of the Twins, they’ve got an excellent chance to make it three out of four for the Minnesota visit today. Not only are the Chicago bats hot — okay, just for one game so far, but […]
First Pitch (CT): 1:10 PMTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN/830 WCCO/102.9 The Wolf /Audacy AppKnow Yo’ Foe: South Side Sox This series has had everything. A nail-biting loss, a nail-biting win, a blowout loss. Let’s hope the pattern keeps up this afternoon and the Twins get a blowout win. Taj Bradley had his start bumped a day in […]
is this the least interesting coaching search ever?
Just like that, the waking nightmare that has been consuming the Cubs comes to an end. I don’t know about you, but I have no surprise whatsoever that the streak went away with a thump and not a whimper. The Cubs put 10 runs on the board while running up 14 hits and drawing seven […]
With four days left before the end of the Illinois legislative session, Crain’s Chicago Business reports (citing no specific sources) that state senators are “considering dramatically scaling back a sweeping megaproject incentive bill” to cut out everything except tax breaks for a Bears stadium in Arlington Heights. The idea here is to avoid debate on […]
The Chicago White Sox are in early playoff contention following three straight seasons of more than 100 losses thanks in large part to Munetaka Murakami's historic home run numbers.
You knew the Cubs’ losing streak wasn’t going to last forever. Right? Right? The Cubs exploded with a 14-hit, seven-walk, two-homer offense and crushed the Pirates 10-4 Wednesday evening in Pittsburgh, at last ending their 10-game losing streak. The 10 runs were as many as they had score in the last six games of the […]
Today’s Reflections I don’t know what to do at this point, but, hey, we’ve been here before. I threatened to post positive “tomorrow” phrases, but the gods smited me by a 12-1 margin on Tuesday, so I will forgo that beating again. But this is a definite reflection — Wednesday was the fifth anniversary of […]
