Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Detroit Lions are trying out rookie tight end Thomas Gordon (Gordon more or less confirmed the news on his social media page). Gordon went undrafted this year, but spent rookie minicamp with the Chicago Bears as a tryout. After a month passed, he eventually joined the Bears and […]
The Bears signed C.J. Gardner-Johnson a mere 12 days ago, mostly in desperation, and it’s hard to believe the degree of impact he has already provided. Through two games, he has 12 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 FF, and a ton of energy within a unit that was hanging on by a thread. A reminder – […]
We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. So long, Professor. Cade was jobbed, too. Some things are set in stone, and some ain’t. One day, this will all be so much hieroglyphics. Hell, maybe we’re going backward and can read tablets in the original instead of swallowing them for our daily bread. The […]
It was a charmed first season in pinstripes for Cody Bellinger. Acquired from the Cubs last offseason for Cody Poteet in what amounted to a salary dump, the nine-year veteran had much to prove in his walk year. After taking home Rookie of the Year honors in his first season and MVP in his third, […]

Heck Yes. Drake Baldwin is the 2025 NL Rookie of the Year. After a stellar first year in the majors (statistically one of the best by a rookie catcher over the past half century), Baldwin earned 21 of the 3o first place votes, beating out fellow finalists Cade Horton of the Cubs and Caleb Durbin […]

1926 The White Sox traded one future Hall-of-Famer player-manager for another. Second baseman-manager Eddie Collins was released (as player, and manager), with catcher Ray Schalk taking over as manager as well. Indicating there was somehow some bad blood (or, at least, awkwardness) between owner Charles Comiskey and Collins, superstar was let go without even a […]

Following two hard-fought victories, the Spurs extended their win streak to three games following an up and down performance against Chicago Monday night. San Antonio shot out of a cannon to start the game. De’Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes made back to back open threes that were generated by Wemby’s gravity, and Chicago had a […]
I would have been happy if the Chicago Bears were in the playoff hunt after nine games, but after 10 weeks of football, they are in an even better spot. With the Philadelphia Eagles’ win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football, the Bears have moved up in the current NFC playoff standings. […]
Our partners at BreakingT have done it again! Their original Good, Better, Best shirt featuring several player signatures was a top seller amongst Chicago Bears fans, so they dropped another design! This time, it features Chicago’s young trio of superstars —quarterback Caleb Williams, wide receiver Rome Odunze, and tight end Colston Loveland — on a […]
The Baseball Writers Association of America announced the Rookie of the Year Award tonight and Braves catcher Drake Baldwin won the National League award over second-place right-hander Cade Horton of the Cubs. Baldwin received 21 first-place votes and 183 points. Horton received the other nine first-place votes and a vote total of 139. First baseman […]
Looking to push their win streak to 3, the Spurs got out to a fast start, building a double digit lead early in the game and making it look easy. The way Chicago has started this year though that wasn’t likely to last, and in the 2nd quarter the Bulls were able to settle down, […]
With Josh Giddey stuck in street clothes , the Chicago Bulls looked out of sync to start the night. The terrifying Victor Wembanyama needed 29 seconds before he was shooting free throws. A little over 30 seconds after that, the recently returned De’Aaron Fox splashed a three. In the blink of an eye, the San Antonio Spurs were up 12-4 and Billy Donovan was calling one of his all-too-familiar early timeouts. San Antonio would go on to start the night with an 11-0 advantage in fastbreak...
The league is taking notice of the Chicago Bulls . Off to an unexpectedly hot 6-3 start, the organization’s young roster has looked far more competitive than anyone expected. While everyone deserves their fair share of flowers for making that happen, the biggest bouquet undoubtedly goes to Josh Giddey. The recently re-signed point guard has immediately exceeded his $100 million payday. The guard has been among the NBA’s top performers, averaging 21.4 points, 9.3 assists, and 9.6 rebo...
On Monday night, Blackhawks legend Duncan Keith was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. He gave a passionate speech — perfectly suited for the way he played the game. He shed a few tears, cracked a few jokes, talked about Brent Seabrook and thanked former teammates, the Wirtz family and Blackhawks fans. Here’s his entire speech. It’s 11 minutes worth spending to hear terrific remarks about falling in love with the game all over again. the newest inductee to the Hockey Hall of...
Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules.

In his end-of-season press conference this October, Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer implied that he’d be trying (this offseason) to extend some Cubs players beyond their current term of team control. And while any number of soon-to-be free agents came to mind (most notably, Nico Hoerner, a free agent after 2026), the guy he may have had most in mind is Pete Crow-Armstrong. In case you forgot , the Cubs attempted to extend Pete Crow-Armstrong last spring, juuuuuust before h...
If you still had doubts about whether Ben Johnson could bring the juice to the Chicago Bears, yesterday should’ve laid them to rest. Because whatever you think of his team through nine games this season, one thing is clear: they’re all-in. His signature breakdown with his players after the game was all the confirmation needed. […]
The heroics of quarterback Caleb Williams are top of mind after the Chicago Bears’ Week 10 win against the New York Giants. Contributions from cornerback Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr., wide receiver Rome Odunze, and others stand out for different reasons. But my favorite play from Sunday’s win was delivered by right tackle Darnell Wright. BEARS WIN AGAIN! Game Recap | Instant Grades | Game Balls | Nightcap Come for the Caleb Williams throw and th...
The Chicago Bears have gone from getting their own coach fired to causing other teams to launch theirs in less than a calendar year. In case you missed it: The New York Giants have sent Brian Daboll packing. This news comes less than 24 hours after the Giants blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead in their Week 10 loss to the Bears. It was the fourth game this season in which the G-Men have coughed up a double-digit lead. But make no mistake about it: That loss to the Bears was the straw tha...

The first thing to know about this game is that it was an unusually warm day for April in Chicago. It was 85 degrees at game time, and wound up being 92 degrees, which is still, 45 years later, the highest temperature ever recorded in Chicago in the month of April. This was just the […]
