THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Bears LB T.J. Edwards vows to be back ‘when it’s time to go’ after breaking leg in playoffs As long as he’s 100 percent, the sooner the better. TE Colston Loveland was a surprise draft pick by Bears last year at No. 10, and now it’s time for stardom Surprise […]
Just Not Our Day: Dbacks 5, White Sox 11
In the words of Jack Sommers, regression is a harsh mistress. And the past 2 games the Dbacks have played, there couldn’t have possibly been more regression. This game seemed like a game where absolutely nothing went the Dbacks way and everything the White Sox’s way. From baseballs getting stuck in Nolan Arrenado’s mitt, to […]
A New Position Created
I try not to be too cynical about hockey's hiring practices, but there are often times where it seems like certain people were hired just because someone wants to reward that person for loyalty. We can talk about the nepotism that exists with guys like Scotty and Stan Bowman working for the Blackhawks and Dick and Chris Patrick managing the Capitals, but there seems to be a lot of times where owners simply create a position out of the blue for a legendary player or loyal player who played for ...

The Award is named after former Bears running back Brian Piccolo, who died from embryonal cell carcinoma, a rare form of cancer, on June 16, 1970. Piccolo’s story, his fight against the illness, and […]
Baserunners ahoy! Cubs 7, Phillies 4
The Phillies have had their share of poorly pitched ballgames this season. While they have had games in which they’ve given up more runs, there’s a case that this was actually their worst pitched game of the season. The Phillies’ pitching staff gave up 12 hits, walked ten batters, and hit two others for good […]

White Sox Minor League Update: April 21, 2026
Nashville Sounds 5, Charlotte Knights 1Duncan Davitt held it down for four frames, surrendering very little. A pair of doubles, a wild pitch, and a walk — but nothing that broke. Nashville scratched and clawed, and Davitt kept wriggling free. Ben Peoples followed and tossed two scoreless, hitless innings, and then the seventh showed up. […]

Todd McShay chooses between Kayden McDonald vs. T.J. Parker for Bears in 2026 NFL Draft
In just two days, the Chicago Bears might find themselves debating the very choice ESPN’s Mina Kimes just posed to NFL draft guru Todd McShay: if given the choice between Ohio State defensive tackle Kayden McDonald or Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker with the 25th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, which do you […]

The Case for DT at 25
As we do every year, we take a look at the Bears’ first-round pick and the different positions the team needs, and what would make sense for the team to do. As a reminder, I will go through multiple positional cases for the 25th pick. Making the case does not necessarily mean I believe this […]

Craig Counsell made a very strange statement about Shohei Ohtani
While Cubs manager Craig Counsell was having his usual pre-game media scrum on Monday, he decided to opine about Dodgers pitcher/DH Shohei Ohtani and the rule that allows an exception for the Dodgers to have essentially an extra pitcher on their roster, as MLB teams are now limited to 13 pitchers on their 26-man roster. […]
Will Billy Donovan’s Chicago Bulls departure have a ripple effect for college basketball?
Every time a top college basketball coaching position opens, one name from the NBA ranks seems to light up the message boards, Twitter and wherever else fans talk about the sport as a “make him say no” candidate. You know who I’m talking about. That’s right. Bra- *dragged offstage by vaudeville hook* Okay, alright, not […]
Ryan Poles is on a first-round hot streak
Too often for the Chicago Bears, over the past 30 years, their first-round draft picks haven’t hit at a high rate. I’ll even list some to hear the groans come back across the internet. David Terrell, Kevin White, Cedric Benson, Shea McClellin, Gabe Carimi and Chris Williams, to name a few. And we won’t even […]
