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 […]

Bears vs. Ravens Injury Report: D’Andre Swift, DJ Moore DNP

As the Chicago Bears prepare for the seventh game of the season against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, both teams have released their first official injury report for week eight. Five Bears were listed as DNP (did not practice): RB Roschon Johnson (back), TE Cole Kmet (back), WR DJ Moore (hip), DB Tyrique Stevenson (shoulder), […]

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...

Wednesday’s Bears Injury Report Sees 5 Players Miss Practice

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...

Eagles-Bears Black Friday game will be available globally

The Eagles played in the first-ever NFL game in South America, and will now play in the first-ever NFL game that is available to stream globally on Prime Video with no subscription or Prime membership required.

Nine Years Ago Today, the Chicago Cubs Won the Pennant

Although the fresh playoff moments for the Chicago Cubs wrapped up in this year’s National League Division Series, we can still look back and enjoy the best of the best moments that came before. For example, here’s one of the absolute best: on this day in 2016, the Cubs beat the Dodgers to win the 2016 National League Championship Series and take their first pennant in 71 years. They were off to the World Series, where I seem to recall some good things happened. Enjoy the highlights ...

Bears vs. Ravens One on One: Week 8 Matchup to Watch

Let’s get a few things out of the way first: While I am sure that it is at the center of Ben Johnson’s mantra this week, the Bears cannot sleep on the hobbled Ravens. It is crucial that Chicago maintains pace with Detroit, Green Bay, and Minnesota in an ultra-competitive division. All the while, despite […]

How Is Dansby Swanson Living Up to His $177M Contract?

Back in December of 2022, the Chicago Cubs signed free agent shortstop Dansby Swanson to a seven-year, $177 million contract. If you recall back to that winter, Swanson was the fourth of the four big free agent shortstops (Carlos Correa, Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts) to sign his deal and got the smallest guarantee of the bunch. And although the Cubs have made the playoffs just one time since signing Swanson to that near-franchise-record deal, it does generally feel like it’s been a success. Bu...

Chicago Cubs Well Represented Among NL Silver Slugger Finalists, But One Huge Snub

By pretty much any metric you’d choose, the Chicago Cubs had a top five-ish offense this year in Major League Baseball, even as they suffered through significant dips at times throughout the season. It’s unsurprising, then, that the Cubs are pretty well represented on the list of National League Silver Slugger finalists this year. From MLB.com : First base: Pete Alonso, New York Mets; Freddie Freeman, Los Angeles Dodgers; Matt Olson, Atlanta Braves Second base: Nico Hoerner, C...

Basketball is Back, NBC is Back, Michael Jordan is Back, Josh Giddey is Back, and Other Bulls Bullets

THE FIVE BEST WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE: CHICAGO BULLS BASKETBALL IS BACK! The NBA season officially tipped off on Tuesday night with an epic double-overtime matchup between the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder. While I’m not sure anyone would have predicted that exhilarating of an opening game, there is no question that it felt like fans were in store for something big when first flipping the channel to NBC. The league’s return to the network after a two-decade-long hiatus...

Blackhawks College Prospects: Ranked Action Including a Battle in Minnesota

Usually I post my college updates and weekend schedule for the Blackhawks on Thursday mornings, but three days between games and the Hawks having an early evening game in Tampa on Thursday gives us an opportunity to look ahead a day earlier than usual. This new weekend of college hockey marks the first time this season that all four teams with Blackhawks prospects are ranked. Thanks to a hot start from their sophomore netminder, the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs have joined the rankings. ...
