Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
What is happening? Did I wake up in an alternate universe? What on Earth are people talking about? How is there a debate happening on social media and across various Chicago-based media platforms debating if the Chicago Bears should rest their players in week 18 and punt on the 2-seed? This is the craziest debate […]
Jaquan Brisker kept it a buck when discussing the Chicago Bears’ Week 17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Jaquan Brisker: "We let the offense down. I'm going to say it. We let the offense down, period. I feel like Caleb and them, they gave us enough points to do what we had to do to win. The defense didn't." — Courtney Cronin (@CourtneyRCronin) December 29, 2025 Sure, that loss stung. But in a year where we have seen the head coach and quarterback remind us what accountability ...

MLB Rumors: Kirby Yates and the Anaheim Angels have agreed to terms on a one year, $5 million deal, while fellow righty reliever Hunter Harvey and the Chicago Cubs have agreed to terms on a one year, $6 million deal, with $1.5 million in incentives, per reports. In addition — and potentially related to the […]
We are back with our final episode of “Before the Roar,” where myself (Morgan) and my good friend Meko Scott are breaking down the last game of the Detroit Lions’ 2025 season against the Chicago Bears, as well as taking a look ahead to what the offseason might hold. We begin by quickly recapping the […]
I touched on this appearance briefly in yesterday’s post in this series, about Victor Caratini. Ian Happ’s lone pitching appearance in the major leagues came in a game where Joe Maddon used three position players to finish up after the Cubs were hopelessly behind. Happ threw the top of the ninth inning July 20, 2018 […]
So, the Blackhawks came out of the Christmas break with a thrilling win in Dallas and a dull thud at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins. That’s kinda the way things have gone this season, isn’t it? The good news for tonight is Nick Foligno is healthy and in the lineup and Ilya Mikheyev also returns from his absence to be with his family. We’re getting closer to a full Blackhawks lineup. The Blackhawks held only an optional morning skate today, so these are the new lines we saw at practi...
Few games ever live up to the hype, but Sunday night’s meeting of the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers definitely did. It didn’t finish the way Chicago wanted, but it was a thrilling game and showed a national audience that Caleb Williams has arrived. And for the most jaded or skeptical Bears fans, it […]
As the 2026 NBA Draft approaches, several clubs are angling for that top pick. But whose name will be called with the pick is still a matter of some debate. So let’s run through some of our options with a good, old-fashioned 2026 NBA Mock Draft. The 15-16 Chicago Bulls continue to hover along the periphery of the 2026 NBA Draft lottery. Chicago is a bit more hapless than its record appears. The Bulls are loaded with expiring contracts at key positions of need, and the team’s front of...
We already know that the Chicago Bears will be making their first postseason appearance since 2020. And when they take the field in the playoffs, they will do so as NFC North champions for the first time since 2018. That means the Bears will play a home game as they set out on their Super Bowl journey. However, we do not know who will be on the other sideline in that matchup. But we do have a pretty good idea of who it could be. Potential Chicago Bears Playoff Opponents LOS ANGE...
With 2025 coming to a close, a lot of folks and production houses are doing the “best plays of 2025” thing, which I certainly do enjoy. Remembering stuff is fun. I particularly appreciated, however, that Marquee also put out a top ten funny moments of the year from the 2025 Chicago Cubs season: The Top 10 funny moments of the 2025 @Cubs season 😆 pic.twitter.com/iVqXmrawkt — Marquee Sports Network (@WatchMarquee) December 30, 2025 Not that this is the kind of list about whi...
The Chicago Blackhawks close out the 2025 calendar year on home ice Tuesday night, hosting the New York Islanders as they look to finish the year on a stronger note. The Islanders come into this one sitting third in the Metropolitan Division by points percentage (.590), a spot that looks solid on paper but hardly comfortable in practice thanks to a crowded playoff picture. The Florida Panthers and Buffalo Sabres are right on their heels — the latter of which is on a nine-game winning stea...
Chicago’s rookie wideout, Luther Burden III, earned a well-deserved place on ESPN analyst Ben Solak’s 2025 All-Rookie Team , joining the league’s best first-year players in a season that saw the rookie emerge as one of the Bears’ most dynamic playmakers. Burden was accompanied by Panthers rookie Tetairoa McMillan and Bucs rookie Emeka Egbuka on Solak’s list. Solak highlighted Burden’s growth throughout the year, noting that while it took time for him to find a consistent role in Ben Johns...
With just one week remaining in the NFL’s regular season, a big chunk of the draft order is nearly set. So, let’s run through another 2026 NFL Mock Draft . Who will the Raiders take as the new team at the top of the draft board? What will the Chiefs do with a top ten pick? Can the Bears add an impact defender late in the first round? Let’s get to it. 2026 NFL Mock Draft 1. Las Vegas Raiders: QB Fernando Mendoza – Indiana After losing (or winning?) the Tank Bowl with th...
The San Francisco 49ers beat the Chicago Bears in a thriller on Sunday night, winning on the final play of scrimmage with a defensive stand to keep their No. 1 seed hopes alive heading into Week 18. It was a shootout from the start, as the score was 14 apiece after one quarter and 28-21 […]
At year’s end, it’s a good time to reflect and remember those who passed away throughout the year. In the baseball world in general: Hall of Famer Dave Parker and notables Rich Dauer, Mike Greenwell and Chet Lemon, and, of course, Hall of Fame Frick Award winner Bob Uecker. There were also 17 members of […]
The kids have another week left of their break for the holidays, and I am definitely not counting those days down like it’s a posting window for a Japanese star … I appreciated reading an actual human translation of Tatsuya Imai’s comments about the posting process, which we discussed yesterday , and which concludes this Friday, January 2 at the latest. The automated translations weren’t TOO far off (close enough to get the right sense of where things stand), but this is better: ...
The Blackhawks have some really hot prospects all over the world putting on a show and big numbers. And, after two hat tricks in the CHL over the weekend, performances in the KHL and at the World Junior Championship had my attention on Monday. Kantserov Continues KHL Dominance Blackhawks prospect Roman Kantserov scored his KHL-leading 25th and 26th goals of the season on Monday. He added two assists; his four points move him into second in the KHL in that regard now as well. As a Bla...
At the rate we’re going, we’ll be down to one or two articles next issue. I doubt that’d be unusual — but I’ll have to put in a full day to find them. The click-baitery and hired bushwah have gotten SO bad. Sad times. There’s a site that does nothing but make up bad trade […]

The Chicago Bears faced off with the San Francisco 49ers on the road, and although they came up short, they didn’t go down without a fight. This 42-38 loss to the 49ers consisted of exhilarating, inspired football from both offenses during Sunday Night Football as they went toe to toe in a shootout. The Bears […]
MLB History 1926 – The Chicago Tribune releases a story stating that the Detroit Tigers threw a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox in 1917 to help Chicago win the pennant. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis responds by holding a hearing on the matter, but dismisses all charges as he can find no witnesses to […]
From a Spurs point of view, Luke Kornet is an excellent fit. A rim protector with pick-and-roll capabilities, his connections with Stephon Castle (aptly nicknamed “White Castle”) supply crowd-pleasing dunks. Last season, when Victor Wembanyama was sidelined with deep vein thrombosis, the Spurs took a hit. Zach Collins had been traded to the Chicago Bulls […]
The Islanders wake up still in second place in the Metro after the Capitals lost in regulation to Florida last night. They are in Chicago to try to rebound from the loss in Columbus and build some cushion in the ever-close Eastern standings — where Buffalo is now two points behind. After a promising but […]
