Nahshon Wright Would Love an Extension to Stay With the Bears

The Nahshon Wright story has been the feel-good tale of 2025. Could it continue into 2026? And beyond? This clip, in which Nahshon Wright brings up the possibility of an extension, came across my TikTok feed on Friday night. And while I hadn’t been thinking about an extension for the cornerback, it is something that is currently rattling around my brain after hearing this clip: I hadn’t been thinking about a Nahshon Wright extension. But maybe I should? [image or embed] — ...

NFL Week 15 early games live discussion, open thread

With the Detroit Lions’ big game against the Los Angeles Rams in the late window of Sunday games, fans can enjoy the 1 p.m. ET timeslot unencumbered. Unfortunately, there’s really only one game that Lions fans should be tuning into during the early slot. The Cleveland Browns take on the Chicago Bears in a frigid […]

NFL Week 15: Bears vs. Browns — Lineups, Inactives, Updated Playoff Odds, More

NFL WEEK 15: CHICAGO BEARS VS. CLEVELAND BROWNS — This is a game that Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson said his team “desperately” needs to win . And while this isn’t a win-or-go-home game, it is as close as you’ll get to a “must-win” game in the regular season. As far as I’m concerned, last week’s game against the Green Bay Packers began a stretch of virtual playoff games for Chicago’s football team. Every player needs to be at their best. The same can be said for each coach and staffer. Thi...

Rome Odunze is ACTIVE For Bears Week 15 Game vs. Browns (UPDATE: He’s Out)

Cleveland Browns vs. Chicago Bears – 1st Quarter discussion

Today, the Cleveland Browns take on the Chicago Bears in Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season. The Browns (3-10) are coming off a loss to the Titans that was embarrassing on one hand, but also allowed them to improve their draft position. At the same time, Shedeur Sanders made headlines for his four-touchdown performance. […]

DJ Moore Wants to Win, Mendoza’s Heisman Speech, Chiefs Elimination Coming Today? And Other Bears Bullets

The Chicago Bears haven’t hosted a game at Soldier Field with temperatures this frigid since Christmas Eve 2022. So, I implore you to bundle up if you are going out to the ballgame today. Please, please, please stay warm and be safe. It would be something if history had to repeat itself today: If the surface of Soldier Field is frozen for this Sunday's arctic #Bears -Browns game, perhaps crews can douse the field with gasoline and set it ablaze to thaw it out like they did at Wrigley...

Cubs historical sleuthing: Juan Pierre edition

The Cubs decided to go old-school in 2005 and 2006. From 1993-2004 they had put names on the back of home uniforms. Names had been on the back of Cubs road uniforms since 1982. But in 2005 management decided to go back to the pre-1993 look and take the names off. What they did not […]

The Trade-and-Sign, Fukudome, Wiggins, Knives Out Easter Egg, and Other Cubs Bullets

In case you missed the early morning news, the Arizona Diamondbacks have pulled off the rare “trade away your player and re-sign him in the offseason” move with Merrill Kelly. Let’s start there today. When the Diamondbacks traded Kelly to the Rangers this July, they landed Kohl Drake (#6 prospect in the D-Backs system), Mitch Bratt (#9), and David Hagaman (#15), a tidy sum for a 36-year-old rental starter. And now they get him back, albeit at a very substantial $20M per year for tw...

Merrill Kelly Is Reportedly Signing with the Diamondbacks

For however dead the 2026 MLB Winter Meetings felt, the days thereafter have seen some consistent activity. This morning, that begins ( per Ken Rosenthal ) with free agent starter Merrill Kelly re-upping with the Arizona Diamondbacks, with whom he spent 7.5 of his 8 big-league seasons. Merrill Kelly Back to the Diamondbacks Merrill Kelly was a rumored Cubs trade target at the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline, but he was eventually dealt to the Rangers, for whom he was serviceable, but not muc...

Tyson Bagent Has Been Added to the Bears Injury Report

The Chicago Bears’ backup quarterback situation is up in the air with Tyson Bagent joining the injury report on Sunday morning. Kevin Fishbain has details on the update, which has Bagent listed as questionable to play on Sunday: The Bears added Tyson Bagent (illness) to the injury report this morning. He is questionable. Case Keenum would be the backup if Bagent can’t go. — Kevin Fishbain ( @kfishbain.bsky.social ) December 14, 2025 at 7:34 AM What happens if Tyson Bagent ...

Lardis’ Debut, Bedard Update, an Incredible Anthem, Pridham Hat Trick, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

Let’s start with where the game began last night. I made Wayne Messmer my No. 1 star in my postgame thoughts last night because the Blackhawks weren’t great ( got shutout ). But that was truly a great moment. The Blackhawks are really doing a great job with their Centennial celebration, but not everything you would love to see celebrated can be possible. One of the things I didn’t think was possible was Messmer coming back to a Blackhawks game to sing the anthem. Last night, he did — right nex...

Browns vs. Bears: Offensive line outlook for week 15

The Cleveland Browns head to the Windy City today to take on the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Though the Browns’ offense has looked better over the past two weeks or so, Cleveland will be without a large portion of their starting offensive line today. RT Jack Conklin and RG Wyatt Teller are both officially […]

Chicago Cubs news and notes — Bregman, Hoerner, Zombro

Sources tell us that Burl Carraway is no longer in the organization. He was once a promising prospect with a big fastball from the sinister side, but his future didn’t turn out so well. So far, the offseason cache contains two MLB relievers and one player signed to a minor-league deal. *means autoplay on, (directions to […]

WCG Predicts: Chicago Bears vs Cleveland Browns

Hello, Chicago Bears fans, it’s bounce-back weekend as the Beloved face off against the vaunted pass rush of Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns. The Bears are coming off a heartbreaking, stunning loss to the Green Bay Packers, punctuated by an end-zone interception in the waning seconds that ended the Bears’ comeback and handed them […]

And I Smoke: Red Wings 4, Blackhawks 0

The Blackhawks didn’t do much of anything on offense while being shut out 4-0 by the Red Wings on Saturday night at the United Center. On a night when the giveaway was a Chris Chelios bobblehead, perhaps there was no more fitting development early on than a pair of Hawks scoring the first two goals for Detroit. Alex DeBrincat was up first, tallying just 55 seconds into the game: Detroit goal! Scored by Alex DeBrincat with 19:05 remaining in the 1st period. Assisted by Andrew Copp a...

Kyler Gordon is on Injured Reserve (Again)

The Chicago Bears made a handful of roster moves on Saturday ahead of Sunday’s Week 15 showdown against the Cleveland Browns. But no move stood out like the placement of Kyler Gordon on injured reserve . This is Gordon’s second stint on IR this season. The 25-year-old cornerback suffered a groin injury before the Bears’ Week 14 game against the Green Bay Packers, then missed practice due to the injury throughout the week. Based on how Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson spoke about Gordon and his inj...
