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.

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 Chicago Cubs have a whole lot of turnover coming for their roster this offseason, but they nevertheless have a core that could compete just as well as the 2025 squad, if not better. You know, depending on what they do this offseason …

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:

As everyone in the hockey world knows, Connor Bedard ‘s entry-level contract expires after the current season. Bedard could have signed an extension on July 1, when the final NHL year of his current contract began. But he hasn’t. Yet.
He, like Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson, has consistently said there is no rush to get a deal done. They’re both in agreement that he’ll be a Blackhawk for a long time. So, while they’re both open to getting something done, both sides put it on the...
It was encouraging to see three of the four Chicago Bears receivers who missed Wednesday’s practice participate in activities on Thursday. That second-year wideout Rome Odunze was one of them was a good bit of news. And if you were wondering about Odunze’s availability for the team’s Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the answer will leave you exhaling with relief.
From Bear Report’s Zack Pearson
#Bears WR Rome Odunze tells us that he’s playing on Sunday. He’s dealing with a...
The Chicago Bears had the magic run out on Sunday with a bumpy loss to the Baltimore Ravens. How will the team rally against a Cincinnati Bengals team that is certainly beatable without Joe Burrow? We sat down with Anthony Cosenza from Cincy Jungle, SB Nation’s Cincinnati Bengals site, to get the Bengals’ perspective on […]
I like Seiya Suzuki and what he’s brought to the Cubs. He’s been worth 11.1 bWAR in his four years with the team, about 3 WAR per season. He will hit his 100th home run as a Cub next year, most likely (almost certainly, as he’s averaged 22 per season). The Cubs have wanted to […]
My high school alma mater plays a football playoff game today. Here’s hoping that this isn’t the only bit of playoff football I’ll see this year.
Desperate times often call for desperate measures. And when desperate times call for desperate measures, things tend to get weird. So you can imagine the look on my face when I saw that Chicago Bears Offensive Coordinator Declan Doyle was looking to try some “unorthodox” things in an attempt to rid the team of its penalty problem:

Yeah, last night’s game sucked. After skating 10 games to start the regular season and the only blowouts being in the Blackhawks’ favor, there was finally a big, ugly loss to put on the board. Those are going to happen to every team every year. The Blackhawks have had more than their fair share of those the past few years.
After sleeping on it, my thoughts on the Blackhawks’ loss shifted.
Last night’s game felt a different. Rather than the “here we go again” exhausted, defeated feeli...
It absolutely sucks that my son has a peanut allergy. No question about it. However, there is one small side benefit after he complete trick or treat: I made out like a bandit last night. Reese and Butterfinger and Snickers everywhere, and I * have to * take them. For safety.
The Cubs have yet to lose bench coach Ryan Flaherty to an open managerial gig, but they are indeed losing a coach off the staff:

The Bears found themselves in unfamiliar territory as they rode the wave of a 4-game winning streak entering a matchup with the struggling Baltimore Ravens this past week. Despite the contrast in team records and the absence of Lamar Jackson, Baltimore was still viewed as the betting favorite in this game. On one hand, this […]
The New York Knicks and the Chicago Bulls will get their NBA Cup campaigns underway today, and I’m not sure if these two teams could be coming into Friday night’s opener on more opposing trajectories. The Knicks, who entered the season as one of two teams expected to make the finals out of the Eastern […]

1937Ed Arthur Walsh, son of White Sox legend Ed Walsh, died of rheumatic fever after falling into a coma at his childhood home in Meriden, Conn. He was just 32 years old. Quite obviously, the younger Walsh would never escape the shadow of his father, a Hall-of-Famer and fifth all-time in White Sox WAR. However, […]
The first night of a six-game road trip did not go the Blackhawks way, as Chicago lost 6-3 to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night up in Canada.
The Jets got on the board first, scoring less than two minutes into the first period. Vladislav Namestnikov finished off a slick passing sequence from Gustav Nyquist and Nino Niederreiter, converting on the power play to give Winnipeg a 1–0 lead.
