1959 He was acquired before the start of the 1958 season, and part of the cost was trading the popular Minnie Miñoso, so pitcher Early Wynn didn’t start out on the right side of things with a lot of Sox fans. Compounding the issue was a mediocre 1958 season. In 1959, however, Wynn turned back the clock, leading the major […]

Against the Ghosts of Chicago Bulls Past, Matas Buzelis looked eager to remind fans that the organization has entered a new era. The second year forward was in full attack mode from the jump, starting the night 3-4 from the field with 7 points in under 4 minutes of action.
His sense of urgency immediately showed the rest of his teammates how easy it would be to attack this Kings’ defense. The Bulls started to penetrate the paint with ease, scoring 16 of their first 27 points inside. The o...
Hello, Chicago Bears fans! Well, we all knew this day would come. It can’t be all rainbows, sunshine, and good, better, best in the modern NFL. Sometimes you win ugly, and sometimes you lose ugly. And this was an ugly loss for the Chicago Bears against a Baltimore Ravens team featuring a backup quarterback that […]
The Atlanta Hawks were in Brooklyn on Wednesday evening to face the Nets. The Hawks are coming off a wire-to-wire loss on Monday against the Chicago Bulls, and were looking to get back in the win column. For the Nets, they were still looking for their first win of the season. It was a very […]
The Bears’ four-game winning streak came to an end on Sunday, as they fell 30-16 to a Ravens team without Lamar Jackson to drop their record to 4-3. The flashbacks to last year are natural, seeing as though last year’s Bears started at 4-2 and proceeded to lose each of their next ten games. As […]
The Chicago Bulls welcomed Zach LaVine back to the United Center with open arms on Wednesday night.
Returning to Chicago for the first time since he was traded away in February, the guard was met with plenty of cheers when his name was called during the Kings’ starting lineup introductions. The same went for DeMar DeRozan, who spent three years with the franchise before departing for Sacramento in the summer of 2024.
The Daily Herald’s Mike McGraw shared some footage of the moment … ...

We are fast approaching the midpoint of the NFL season. I don’t know about you, but the season is moving by a lot faster than the weeks that led up to it. Many people leading up to the season viewed this as about the point where we can fairly evaluate where a Ben Johnson and […]
Trey Hendrickson trade to Colts may hinge on Bengals v Bears result! Good injury news!

The award is presented annually by USAA and the NFL, honoring a league member who demonstrates a firm commitment to honoring and supporting the military.

The Bears head to Cincinnati this weekend trying to rebound from their loss in Baltimore — and they’ll do it with one of the thinnest secondaries they’ve fielded all season. Jaylon Johnson, Tyrique Stevenson, and Kyler Gordon have all been ruled out, leaving Chicago’s defensive backfield in scramble mode heading into a matchup that could hinge on who lines up at quarterback for the Bengals.
That remains the story in Cincinnati, where Joe Flacco’s status is very much in doubt. Bengals coac...
One Golden State Warriors fan got into the Halloween spirit a little early.
During Tuesday night’s meeting with the Denver Nuggets at the Chase Center, the local broadcast crew spotted a familiar-looking fan in the stands. The cameras locked in on a man sporting a throwback Steve Kerr uniform from his time with the Chicago Bulls . They proceeded to show a full look at the fan’s backside, where the resemblance to the current Warriors head coach was uncanny .
The announcers said that a...
As the Chicago Bears prepare for the eighth game of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, we are starting to get the first official team injury reports for week nine. The biggest news is all of the WRs that were listed as DNP (did not practice) on Wednesday for the Bears. This includes […]
The first Chicago Bears injury report of Week 9 is OUT, and it fills me with mixed emotion. There is some good news to start the week. It would be a welcome sight if that carries over through the rest of the week and into Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. But there is also some concerning news. It feels too early to call it bad news, but there are some names on the Bears injury report that we’ll keep an eye on throughout the week.

The annual Cubs Convention at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in downtown Chicago will take place Jan. 16-18, 2026, and weekend passes will go on sale tomorrow, Oct. 30, on the Cubs website. Among Convention highlights will be a celebration of the 150 years of club history dating to its National League roots that began in […]
On Wednesday morning, the Detroit Lions inked star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson to a f our-year extension worth $180 million . Hutchinson’s deal includes a $141 million guarantee. The annual average comes in at $46.5 million, making Hutchinson the second-highest-paid pass rusher in the NFL, just behind Micah Parsons and ahead of T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett. That’s bad news for the Chicago Bears.
Here’s a look at what elite pass rushers—who have reset the market in 2025—are making these da...
And just like that , the sun is shining once again in Blackhawks land.
It’s difficult to avoid getting carried away when Connor Bedard does things like he did on Tuesday night which speak to the incredible hype that has followed him around since he was a teenager, long before he started lighting up scoreboards for the Blackhawks. The same can be said when Frank Nazar is flying around the ice and racking up points as well, because these are two of the players expected to be at the heart of...
Let’s discuss Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos and his future with the team.
Cairo Santos has been a quality kicker for this team. Since rejoining the squad in 2020, he has made 89.3 percent of his field goals and has even had some memorable game-winners. No matter what happens with Santos in the future, we’ll always have the time his 51-yard boot beat the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field to end the 2024 regular season for Chicago’s football team.
With that being said, the 33-year...
The Chicago Bears signing a new player to their secondary has me thinking about what it could mean for Kyler Gordon.
If you missed it, the Chicago Bears are reportedly set to sign free-agent defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson on Wednesday morning. Once the move is officially official, the Bears will have a veteran presence in their defensive backfield. As a bonus, they’ll be adding a player familiar with Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen (CJGJ played for DA in New Orleans from 2019-...
The World Series is tied two games apiece, and with Game Five tonight, we know that this thing is going back to Toronto for at least one game on Friday. So the season is going to end either Friday night or Saturday night, and immediately thereafter: the Major League Baseball offseason begins.
The first thing that happens at that moment? Every player eligible for free agency becomes a free agent.
For that reason, I figured it was a good time to remind folks of the many, many free agen...
