Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
Things aren’t going well for the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. They’ve been the most disappointing team in the league this season. Their record is now 15-14 after their last five losses have come against teams they have better records than. This includes two straight losses to the Chicago Bulls. Losing comes with consequences. There’s a […]
On a day where I cannot stop watching that game-winning Caleb Williams overtime touchdown throw to DJ Moore , I found my eyes bugging out of my head when I saw that Montez Sweat had the best initial grade from Pro Football Focus after the Chicago Bears’ 22-16 victory against the Green Bay Packers. And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. PFF player grades aren’t the be-all, end-all. But they do serve a purpose in helping contextualize what we just saw. In this case, th...
After a winter filled with pedestrian free agent signings and anticlimactic trades, the White Sox finally jumped in the free agent pool with a cannonball into the deep end. Signing Murakami is no safe move, as there are wildly-varying outcomes, from high-boom to high-bust. On one hand, Murakami’s stats since 2021 have been stacked. He […]
99.1%. That was the chance the Packers had to win with 3:27 left to play against the Bears last night, just after Green Bay had kicked its field goal to make the score 16-6. The war of attrition these two bitter rivals were fighting would soon be over, and the Bears could fall to 0-2 […]

Watching the Chicago Bulls is like riding a roller coaster. Sometimes they’re up; most times, they’re down. However, right now, with three wins in their last four games, the ride is trending upward. The Bulls head to Atlanta for an early afternoon road game against the ninth-seeded Hawks, looking to keep the ride going. The Atlanta Hawks have not had it easy this season. They made big, aggressive changes in the offseason and came out looking better than they did going in. Pairing Trae You...
Earlier today, Munetaka Murakami, whom the Mets were reportedly interested in signing, inked a two-year, $34 million deal with the White Sox, one day ahead of the deadline to sign the Japanese slugger during his posting window. Following the news, Bob Nightengale reported that the White Sox are interested in moving Luis Robert Jr. and […]
All the biggest news and rumors regarding the Houston Astros and from around MLB – they’re all in here! Its an offseason Crawfish Boil for December 21, 2025. The White Sox get a potential huge bargain on Murakami, whose power is regarded as being off the charts but also could potentially be a high strikeout […]
even more rare, both games in Atlanta
The Chicago Bears did it again. For the sixth time this season, they battled back to win a game, this time coming from 10 down with less than five minutes to play against the Green Bay Packers. In three minutes and four seconds, they went on an 11-play 43-yard drive that ended in a field […]
Happy NFL Sunday, Seattle Seahawks fans! There’s really nothing of consequence on the Sunday slate for the Seahawks as it relates to the NFC’s top seed chase. The San Francisco 49ers don’t play until Monday night, the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers did sort out the NFC North lead and therefore stay alive for […]
Shout out to everyone who came through for the Ivy Hall BN Bears watch party event at Lottie’s. I don’t have much of a voice this morning. Good thing I don’t have to use it right now. It wasn’t a dream. Caleb Williams made that throw. DJ Moore made that catch. The Iceman came, saw, and conquered in overtime. It was ridiculous. The Chicago Bears won a game that they trailed by a 16-3 score late in the fourth quarter. What a bonkers game. It perfectly captures what life as a Bears fan has...
The White Sox strengthened their lineup by signing Japanese star Munetaka Murakami. The 25-year-old’s market fell behind where many expected it to land, allowing the White Sox to snag him with a two-year, $34 million deal. Murakami is an incredibly feared hitter, as he slashed .273/.394/.550 across eight seasons in Japan. In addition, the NPB […]
More than any other current Chicago Bears player, DJ Moore understands the rivalry with the Green Bay Packers. He left it all on the field on Saturday night when he had one rush for 12 yards and five catches for 97 yards, including the 46-yard game-winner from Caleb Williams in one of the most improbable […]
Here’s one more from BCB reader Clark Addison. As I have noted in some previous sleuthing photos, this has to be from 2005 or 2006, one of the two seasons this century where the Cubs removed names from the back of home jerseys. The key to the year is No. 5. In 2005, that number […]
The Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers, 22 to 16 in overtime! Chicago stays in second place in the NFC with the win. Chicago is at 97% to make the playoffs according to the New York Times playoff machine. For all the NFL postseason scenarios and the full Week 16 schedule, click here. NFC […]
In what will be one of the most shocking moves of the offseason, the Chicago White Sox signed famed Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami to a 2-year $34 million deal. At the beginning of the offseason, many analysts expected Murakami to sign a deal north of $100 million. However, his market was much slower than expected […]
Well, how about that! The Chicago White Sox are rolling the dice on Munetaka Murakami, the 25-year-old free agent slugger from Japan who set the NPB record for most homers by a Japanese-born player in a single season (56). I’m no fan of the White Sox, but I really love this move for them. © Sam Navarro-Imagn Images White Sox Sign Munetaka Murakami For one, they’re limiting their risk quite a bit by handing him just a two-year, $34 million deal. Sure, that means they’re ca...
What a wild week and a half it’s been for the Chicago Bulls. They’ve gone from a seven-game losing streak to winning three of their last four, with a chance to keep it rolling tonight. Watching the Bulls convincingly beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in a mini two-game set has given their fans a serious “déjà vu” moment. Not a flashback to the ’90s or the 2010s, but to earlier this season, when Chicago opened the year on an out-of-character five-game winning streak and briefly scared the East ...
The Chicago Blackhawks can't catch a break at the moment as their roster is in shambles due to freak accidents. First Connor Bedard separated his shoulder on a faceoff with less than a second left in the game, and now Frank Nazar is going to be out a month after getting hit in the face with the puck. The play happened during Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Nazar was struck with a Jordan Spence shot barely five minutes into the game. He went immediately to the dressing room and did ...
We do a lot of debating in the baseball world about whether “clutch” is a real thing, and, if so, the extent to which we can measure and quantify it. I won’t resolve that debate for you this morning. But I will tell you that, when it comes to QB1, clutch is ABSOLUTELY a thing, and Caleb Williams has it in spades . That throw-and-catch is going to be remembered and celebrated for a very, very long time. It’s not *quite* as good as the Caleb Williams throw, but it does still make me ...
With news that Frank Nazar is expected to miss four weeks because of the injury he suffered in Saturday afternoon’s loss , the Blackhawks are now in an incredibly tough spot. They were already struggling to create offense without Connor Bedard . Now, their two most dynamic offensive players are going to miss an extended period of time. The good news: Nick Lardis found the back of the net on Saturday. His first career NHL goal showed off the hands that make him an exciting prospect for the...
“I want you to know that I am going to remain a loyal Cubs fan,” said Archbishop-elect Ronald Hicks, who will head the Archdiocese of New York after leading the Diocese of Joliet. “However, I am going to start rooting for the New York sports teams. And I already love your pizza. I love it […]

Two big self-inflicted wounds really helped fuel the fire of the Green Bay Packers’ Saturday night collapse against the Chicago Bears. According to Next Gen Stats, the Bears at one point only had a 0.5 percent chance of winning the game before the Packers surrendered an onside kick to Chicago. According to The Athletic’s Matt […]
