Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
Here’s yet another one from BCB reader Clark Addison, and I cropped the photo at the top of the post to take away one significant clue. Can you figure out which game this is from just the Cubs waiting to greet the walk-off home run hitter at the plate? (It’s obvious it’s a walk-off home […]
It sounds like the Chicago Bears will have linebacker Tremaine Edmunds back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. ESPN Jeremy Fowler shares the scoop: Bears plan to activate linebacker Tremaine Edmunds from Injured Reserve before Saturday’s game vs Green Bay, per sources. Edmunds, who was placed on IR on Nov. 22 with a groin issue, has four interceptions and nine pass deflections this year. pic.twitter.com/UjFySflyDt — Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) Dec...

Ben Pope at the Chicago Sun-Times wrote a really good piece on Friday after a lengthy conversation with Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson. The focus of this story was the Blackhawks’ goaltending situation. Davidson told Pope they’re still committed to Arvid Söderblom as the NHL back-up. “There’s no real discussion at this point to making any change. We just have to be a little more consistent in front of him.” But behind Spencer Knight and Söderblom is a mess right now. Since ...
1.) 2018, Bears vs. Packers: Bears clinch NFC North over rival Packers Yes, I know it happened on week 15, and I may have purposely avoided posting this last week simply because the parallels are too strong here. First year HC and QB combo, Soldier Field, late season, a chance to all but clinch the […]
Michael King is off the board, having signed a multiple-out deal to return to the Padres. Munetaka Murikami has to sign by Monday or go back to NPB. Tatsuya Imai’s posting window expires January 2. So there’s hope for some developments soon. *means autoplay on, (directions to remove for Firefox and Chrome). {$} means paywall. {$} means limited […]
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers dropped their second-straight game to the Chicago Bulls on Friday, 136-125. It’s their third loss in a row and their fifth in their last seven. Things are not going well. Inconsistent performances from their top remaining players have been one of the key contributing factors to the team’s struggles. Cleveland […]
1921 The future of the best-of-nine World Series is decided at the major league meetings: The AL votes to return to the best-of-seven, while the NL prefers the status quo. Commission Landis casts the deciding vote to return the World Series to a best-of-seven, and the World Series has remained so ever since. 1958 Bill […]
Once more unto the breach. Today, the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears meet for the second time in 13 days with the NFC North lead on the line once again. This evening’s game takes place at Soldier Field, a rare Saturday night regular season game and another rare game between these teams with massive […]
After falling to a season-low 23% following an 0-2 start, our fans’ confidence in the Chicago Bears has been above 92% in nine of the weeks this year, including 97% or better in six straight surveys. The loss to the Ravens shook us a bit (66%), but the team bounced back and played with a […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers lost another one. At some point, hopefully soon, we’ll be able to write one of these after a win. WINNER – Darius Garland gives us hope I’ve written multiple times that nothing matters this season if Darius Garland can’t get healthy. At the time, I didn’t realize how bad things could get […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers have lost four of their last five. This one was just about as ugly as the rest. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. Darius Garland 35 points, 8 assists, 2 rebounds The Cavs might have lost, but they really needed this performance from Garland. He was dynamite […]
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers‘ rough stretch continues as they lost Friday’s game with the Chicago Bulls 136-125. The Cavs have now lost three straight and five of their last seven. This game wasn’t too different than any of the other recent games the Cavs have lost. They started strong, were outclassed in the second […]

Quarterbacks dominate the top of this 2026 NFL Mock Draft , but the real story is how aggressively teams are willing to maneuver to secure cornerstone players at premium positions. With blue-chip defenders and playmakers coming off the board throughout the first round, this mock reflects a league split between chasing long-term answers under center and fortifying rosters with elite, high-floor talent elsewhere. Here’s how the first round could shake out. 2026 NFL Mock Draft 1. T...
The Chicago Bulls’ front office, led by team president Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley , is reportedly un certain about committing significant money to Coby White next summer. Per Julia Poe of The Chicago Tribune , “there’s internal uncertainty about whether the Bulls can or will” re-sign the 6-foot-5 North Carolina product over the offseason, when he’ll be an unrestricted free agent. The 25-year-old is currently on an expiring $12.9 million deal. Ahead of the...
After coming so close to taking down the Green Bay Packers in Week 14, the Chicago Bears should have a good idea of how they can go about flipping the script in Week 16 when the game is played at Soldier Field. Let’s allow defensive lineman Grady Jarrett to take it from here: “I think we just have to cut out the big plays. It comes down to a couple plays in a game when you are playing with two top teams. We can’t make as many mistakes. Whether it’s executing on defense or turnover ...
The Cubs bullpen was a strength for the Cubs in 2025 but with Andrew Kittredge returning to the Baltimore Orioles, Drew Pomeranz signing with the Los Angeles Angels and Brad Keller inking a two-year deal with the Phillies, the late innings of Cubs games will look a lot different in 2026. The Cubs have been […]
The Chicago Bulls will take on the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight at Rocket Arena in the second game of a home-and-home series. Chicago got the better of its division rival on Wednesday and will be looking to take the lead in the season series. The Cleveland Cavaliers will once again enter the contest without reigning Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley, along with Max Strus, Sam Merrill, Larry Nance Jr., and Luke Travers. The Cavs have been a shell of their former selves compared to la...
On the heels of a tough matchup in Green Bay, the Bears welcomed the Cleveland Browns to Soldier Field this past week. Despite a slow start, the Bears’ offense was able to get the ball moving in the second half against the Packers’ defense, so many were looking forward to seeing how Caleb Williams and […]
It was a small signing yesterday for the Chicago Cubs, but a necessary one, adding right-handed slugger Tyler Austin for the bench. Austin has been a star in Japan, putting up numbers comparable to many of the biggest names we talk about, but he’s 34, and there are fair questions about whether the mid-30s strikeout rate he used to run in MLB will return and sap him of any productivity this time around. So the deal was quite modest, reflecting the possibility that the Cubs won’t actually w...
