One week ago, our fanbase was still riding high after watching the Chicago Bears win a fourth straight game. According to our Reacts survey, our confidence in the franchise was 96%. Also, only 7% of our fans believed this 2025 version of the team is still the “same old Bears.” So things were looking up. […]
1.) 2005, Bears @ Saints: Bears beat the Saints at Tiger Stadium for their first 4 game win streak since 2001 In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which tore off nearly 70% of the Superdome’s roof and forced the Saints to play their “home games” across three different stadiums, including LSU’s Tiger Stadium, Kyle Orton […]

1946 Future White Sox owner (and current Cleveland owner) Bill Veeck has his right foot amputated. Veeck had suffered a grievous injury to his leg while serving in the South Pacific in World War II, and complications from that injury resulted in this dramatic development. True to his nature, however, Veeck eventually made his loss […]
I’m going to be completely honest with all of you, my wife and I hosted our annual Hocus Pocus Watch Party tonight. In other words, the Chicago Bulls’ victory over the New York Knicks was designated for the second screen. I was in and out of tuning as I finished off making my famous pumpkin mac & cheese and mixing together apple cider old old-fashioned for our nearly 20 guests. So I’m not going to sit here and pretend I have an educated take on this game. Instead, I will sit down tomorrow morn...
This Halloween, the New York Knicks (2-3) finished a three-game road trip with an Emirates Cup game against the Chicago Bulls (5-0). They started strong behind OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns, and zippy ball movement from Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges. Once Josh Giddey ignited Chicago’s offense, however, the Bulls sunk their teeth in and held […]
On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll got some help from a couple of friends to preview this Sunday’s Chicago Bears vs Cincinnati Bengals game. First, she’s joined by our very own Bill Zimmerman to preview the Bears’ side of the ball and how Chicago’s offense can get going against a struggling Bengals team. […]
The Chicago Bears look to get back in the winning column after dropping one last week to the Baltimore Ravens. Their opponent is the Cincinnati Bengals, who have a porous defense and give us some interesting opportunities to bet on Chicago Bears players on props. Last year, we published after Lamar Jackson was a “full […]
The Knicks and Bulls open their NBA Cup campaigns on opposite trajectories — New York looking to rebound from a shaky 2-2 start, and Chicago riding an unexpected 4-0 surge. The Knicks will need sharper shooting and better defensive focus to hand the Bulls their first loss, but Chicago’s balanced offense and elite perimeter defense […]
The Cincinnati Bengals have a lot of firepower on their offense, while the Chicago Bears are reeling defensively due to injuries. It’s a battle of strength versus weakness in a lot of ways this weekend and it’s going to be a tough match up for the Bears to get a win on the road. But […]

Bears News Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift will miss Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a groin injury. The team officially ruled him out Friday after the 26-year-old did not practice all week. Swift has been managing the groin issue for several weeks. He appeared on injury reports before the Bears’ last […]
Here we go again, Chicago Bears fans. That old fear is back. The fear that this team got it wrong again. With every chance to get it right. With the No. 1 overall pick in their clutches and the choice of any of the three top QBs in the 2024 before them. It was hard […]
Earlier today, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said that at some point, they’d have to give running back D’Andre Swift a week off to get his body right. Swift has been playing through a groin injury while racking up 277 yards the last three weeks, and while he wants to play on Sunday, Johnson […]
We’re about to find out if the Chicago Bulls are a trick or a treat. See what I did there? Off to an impressive 4-0 start to begin the year, things are about to ramp up even more for this young and dynamic Bulls team. To be clear, they deserve credit for the squads they have taken down thus far. Detroit, Orlando, and Atlanta were seen as up-and-coming teams that were expected to finish well above Chicago in the standings. A win over a 1-4 Sacramento team may feel less worthy of praise, bu...
The final Bears injury report of the week is out, and it’s ugly. Ben Johnson’s offense will be without three notable names in Cincinnati this week. Chicago Bears Injury Report — October 31, 2025 The Chicago Bears will be without running back D’Andre Swift on Sunday as he deals with a groin injury. Roschon Johnson will also miss Week 9, placing the load squarely on rookie Kyle Monangai on Sunday in Cincinnati. PLAYERS WHO HAVE BEEN RULED OUT Running Back D’Andre Swift (gro...

Earlier this week, I asked you via the SB Nation Reacts survey which long-time Cubs player you would most like to see get a contract extension. The result really was no surprise at all: Nico Hoerner’s age, defensive ability and offensive consistency do call for the Cubs to keep him for a few more years. […]
The Knicks will play the on-pace-for-82-wins Bulls in Chicago to kick off their NBA Cup run toward the first mini-title in franchise history this evening. New York will host the same Unstoppabulls (we’ll see about that after tonight) on Sunday in the second leg of a home-and-home affair versus the Windy City Boys. Here’s the […]

The Miami Dolphins have a new general manager calling the shots, and it is a name that might sound familiar to Chicago Bears fans. General Manager Chris Grier is OUT in Miami after a reported mutual parting of ways. In his place, on the interim, will be Champ Kelly. Before the Dolphins cut ties with Grier and promoted Kelly to the interim GM spot, Kelly held the title of senior personnel executive. ESPN’s Adam Schefter has the news: Dolphins senior personnel executive Champ Kelly now...
