Chicago Bears Sackwatch 2025: Week 7 vs New Orleans Saints

Before getting into this week’s Sackwatch, an update to my breakdown from last week. After some well-thought-out comments in the comment section, and realizing I haven’t had many sacks that I’ve broken down where taking a sack was the right play, I’m changing the two sacks I put on Caleb Williams to Sacks Happen. It […]

Chicago Bears Last 10 Years 53-man Roster

On Tuesday, Marc Silverman, aka “Silvy,” had a discussion on his show on ESPN Radio about whether the Chicago Bears roster from the last 10 years would win the Super Bowl. So Silvy got me wondering, what would the 53-man roster be over the last 10 years? We took a look at the roster over […]

What Are the Chances Matas Buzelis Actually Wins Most Improved Player?

During the Chicago Bulls’ Media Day, Matas Buzelis made his individual goal for the 2025-26 season very clear: “I want to win Most Improved Player this year. That’s what I’m striving for.” The forward has oozed confidence since well before he heard his name called on draft night in June of 2024. As far as he’s concerned, there isn’t a mountain he can’t climb, including the summit that is one of the NBA’s most prestigious awards. To his credit, all Buzelis has done is back up his conf...

Baltimore Ravens Injury Report: Lamar Jackson Practices; Status for Week 8 Still Uncertain

The Chicago Bears will take their four-game winning streak into Baltimore this weekend, and the biggest question for the Ravens remains whether or not quarterback Lamar Jackson will be ready. Jackson hasn’t practiced since suffering a strained hamstring on September 28, but according to Ravens beat writer (The Athletic) Jeff Zrebic , Jackson jogged onto the practice field today and did some warmup throws and light running while the media was present. Jackson’s appearance on the pract...

Why Didn’t Grady Jarrett Play on Sunday?

We’ll get our first Bears injury report of the week later on Wednesday. And when we get it, the first name I will be looking for is that of Grady Jarrett . The two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman is in his first season with the Bears and was brought in as a free agent to help stabilize the middle of the defense. Unfortunately, injuries have limited him to just three games. Things were trending toward Jarrett playing in Chicago’s Week 7 game against the New Orleans Saints, but Jarrett was a lat...

The Chicago Cubs 40-Man Roster Will Soon Become Extraordinarily Un-Crowded

A random thing occurred to me today for whatever reason: the Chicago Cubs are about to have a TON of open spots on their 40-man roster. By the time free agency rolls around, teams have had to bring injured players (60-day IL) back onto the 40-man roster, and it can feel mighty crowded. But then free agents are removed from the 40-man, and a team typically dips back under the 40-player limit without having to dump anyone at that particular moment. Sure enough, that’ll happen for the C...
