Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
In the past, the Cubs Convention used to have a session with President of Business Operations Crane Kenney. That, along with a session with Executive Chairman Tom Ricketts, have been eliminated from the convention agenda. Kenney did have a wide-ranging conversation with Meghan Montemurro of the Tribune, and in her article she wrote that the […]
After a massive leap from the bottom of the poll to a tie for runner-up, it seemed like either catcher Landon Hodge or righthander Reudis Diaz was poised to win the next Vote. Indeed, on his 21st ballot, Hodge prevailed, with 12 of 62 (19%) votes: Hodge’s win was not decisive, however, as his 19.35% […]
The Blackhawks los t again last night. The Bruins came in playing really well, and controlled most of the game even though the Hawks took a 2-0 lead in the first period. Where some of the Blackhawks’ problems have come in the last two games has been trying to do much. Jason Dickinson talked about maybe trying to do one thing too many too often. And his head coach agree that keeping things simple has worked — and the Hawks got away from that last night. “When you’re pressing instead of tak...
Another day of NFL playoffs, and another day of exciting football games. The Buffalo Bills suffered another heartbreaking postseason loss in overtime to the Denver Broncos in a controversial finish that will likely lead to days of debating about officiating. I almost made this Question of the Day about the enforcement of pass interference, but […]
1.) 2006 Bears vs. Seahawks: The Goulden leg sends us to the NFC Championship for the first time since 1985 An old adversary came to town on January 14th, 2007. Mike Holmgren, the former head coach of the Green Bay Packers of the 90’s who combined with Brett Favre to torment the Bears so, came […]
Matt Shaw says he has spent a good deal of time in the outfield in college and he’s up for the challenge of being a supersub. I’m not going to discourage him. Nico Hoerner opined that it was a good thing to have a quality player as a sub, and that time off isn’t a […]
1930 No, you’re right, you wouldn’t think you’d have to make it clear that major leaguers shouldn’t box in the offseason. But because of the brawling (inside and out of the ring) of White Sox first baseman Art Shires, commissioner Kenesaw Landis banned any player from boxing. Shires had issued a challenge to Cubs star […]
Despite scoring the first two goals of the game, the Blackhawks allowed five unanswered goals to fall 5-2 to the Bruins on Saturday night, losing their fourth straight home game. The Blackhawks struck first at 16:14 of the opening period. Just seconds after a power play expired, Andre Burakovsky found Ryan Greene alone in the slot, and Greene snapped a wrist shot past Joonas Korpisalo to give Chicago a 1-0 lead. Greener's 6th goal of the year🏒 pic.twitter.com/PTW4Psjlij — Chica...
We didn’t have a Chicago Bears-specific Reacts survey question here at Windy City Gridiron this week, but the national set of survey questions that SB Nation emailed out — sign up here to participate — asked fans to pick the winners in this weekend’s games. I’m not surprised by the results. The Los Angeles Rams had more wins […]

NFL COACHING NEWS AND RUMORS — There is so much Bears-specifc content that I want to do before now and tomorrow’s kickoff. However, there are some NFL headlines (and some Bears-adjacent things) that popped up today that I didn’t want to squeeze into Sunday’s Bullets and wasn’t willing to wait until Monday to write up. So I’m pushing it out the door now while I have a moment. John Harbaugh makes it official with the New York Giants News of John Harbaugh signing on to be the next head ...
On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll is joined by former Chicago Bears defensive end Corey Wootton, now of CHGO Bears. They chat about the loss of linebacker T.J. Edwards and what that means for the defense at the position. They discuss the uptick in pressure against Green Bay and dive into what the secondary […]
Welcome to Saturday evening, folks! Hopefully you had yourself a decent day. Playoff football, cold weather, etc. All that stuff. Now, you get to feast your eyes on Original 6 hockey, as the Bruins begin a short road trip with a game at United Center in Chicago. The Bruins are bringing plenty of good vibes […]
The Chicago Bears could be mixing things up with Joe Thuney and their offensive line. Playoff football means it’s all hands on deck time at Soldier Field. And while creativity is what Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson’s offensive playbook is known for, he might tap into one of his top player’s positional flexibility if it means putting the best team on the field for Sunday’s NFC Divisional Round game against the Los Angeles Rams. BEARS-RAMS PREVIEW: TWO CLOSERS, ONE FROZEN STAGE The ...
The Rams activated two players from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s divisional round matchup against the Chicago Baers, bringing back safety Tanner Ingle and linebacker Elias Neal for reinforcements. Ingle was called up before last week’s wild card game against the Panthers, drawing ire from many fans for his role in a blocked punt […]
Day 2 of the 2026 Cubs Convention started out the same way it always does, with Cubs President of Baseball Operations, Jed Hoyer and General Manager Carter Hawkins taking the stage, followed by a session with Cubs manager Craig Counsell. Both sessions were moderated by Cubs play-by-play man Boog Sciambi. But the one thing that […]
Even though the Rams have the number one offense in the NFL, it is actually L.A.’s advantage on defense over the Chicago Bears that has the widest gap. The Rams ranked fourth on defense by DVOA, which means Defense-adjusted Value Over Average, a statistic measuring the value of each individual play and weighted based on […]
The Bulls’ Nikola Vucevic Experience might finally, mercifully be nearing its end. The former two-time All-Star’s $21.5 million salary comes off Chicago’s books this summer. So it’s encouraging to hear that Chicago is potentially in the market to add more center help this year. Grant Afseth of Dallas Hoops Journal reports that the Bulls and Indiana Pacers are both considering trades for second-year New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi. Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints has also recently sugg...
Before the Blackhawks take on the Bruins on Saturday evening we saw one encouraging sign on the ice, but got some non-news that isn’t quite as exciting. The encouraging news: Frank Nazar joined the team at the morning skate. I shot the video below of him taking some rushes with the boys. He was still in a non-contact jersey and wasn’t part of the lines; we didn’t expect him back yet. But head coach Jeff Blashill said he’ll fully practice with the team on Sunday. Hey look at that! F...
The Blackhawks will celebrate their Dynasty Era as part of their Centennial celebration tonight before hosting the Bruins. There will be a collection of notable players there from the 2010s championship teams at the United Center for the ceremony. And, yes, there is a Duncan Keith bobblehead being distributed to the first 8,000 fans who attend. Pretty sweet display setup in the Atrium for fans before tonight’s #Blackhawks game and Centennial celebration Team says you MIGHT still be able...
As the Chicago Bulls gear up for a second United Center Derrick Rose Night in as many years, this time to retire his jersey (a thing they could have easily done the first time around, had Michael Reinsdorf gotten his act together), they’ve been ramping up the hype machine. It’s a good thing, too, because the on-court product has been woefully inconsistent. On Friday night, the Bulls blew a fourth-quarter comeback attempt against the lowly Brooklyn Nets , thanks in large part to a pair of ...
As the reactions to Ben Johnson’s now-infamous handshake with Matt LaFleur and “F— the Packers” postgame chat made its rounds this week, pundits made sure to let us know that it wasn’t just the Packers who were mad about Johnson’s perceived slight toward LaFleur and his team. It’s the whole crew of Los Angeles Rams […]
