The development of the Blackhawks’ top prospects has been the focus of the organization for the past three years. In an ideal world, a team doesn’t want to rush a young player into being forced to play more than they’re ready for in the NHL. And, ideally, a team can insulate young defensemen with experience and create situations where both learning and success can co-exist.
Unfortunately, the Blackhawks didn’t have the organizational depth to provide a sheltered NHL initiation to Kevin Ko...
You might say: “But the Cubs already have a third baseman!” Yes, they do. Matt Shaw did a credible job at third base, a position that wasn’t his original one. He did well enough with the glove to be a Gold Glove “finalist,” and posted 3.1 bWAR, which is very good for a rookie season […]
That first week adjusting after turning back the clock an hour is getting more challenging as I get older.
The NFL Trade Deadline is in the rearview mirror. And while the Chicago Bears made a trade, they didn’t make any blockbusters. Frankly, I am OK with that because this isn’t a team that is one player away from getting to where it wants. Plus, it has some salary cap stuff to clean up this upcoming offseason. Even without a splashy move at the deadline, these Bears should be competiti...
The 2025 NFL trade deadline has officially come and gone, with the Cleveland Browns just making one move, trading Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to the Chicago Bears. Despite the team not being as active as maybe the fans would have liked, it’s still great that they were able to ship off an underwhelming player and a 7th-round […]
Wowwww. Bulls. A 24-point comeback win, down to the final seconds . This team has some juice.
If you missed Shane Bieber’s stunning option decision and my thoughts on it, see here . I think it’ll take a little while to fully know whether that was just some weird, one-off, super-idiosyncratic decision of Bieber’s, or if it represents some kind of fundamental systemic concern about what this offseason is going to look like. But we’ll get some clues with the Qualifying Offer decisions this...
We get an early start to the NCAA weekend for Blackhawks prospects this week with freshman phenom Václav Nestrašil and UMass hosting Maine on Thursday night.

Despite falling short of a World Series berth, the Brewers had one of their most successful seasons in years. Milwaukee won 97 games (including two 11-plus game win streaks) for the first time in franchise history and beat their division rivals, the Chicago Cubs, in the NLDS. Since there were also a lot of exciting […]
1901 American League president Ban Johnson and his close friend/associate, White Sox owner Charles Comiskey, secure a five-year lease of Sportsman’s Park in St. Louis. Was a move of the White Sox afoot? No, the pair saw St. Louis as the new home for an AL team — and that team turned out to be […]

The Chicago Bulls sit alone at the top of the Eastern Conference, and they largely have Nikola Vucevic to thank for that.
The team welcomed the Philadelphia 76ers into the United Center on Tuesday night. Both entering the day at 5-1, the two were battling it out for the East’s top spot. And the 76ers were on the cusp of securing it for nearly the entirety of the night.
Philadelphia ran Chicago off the floor during the first half of action and gained a lead as large as 24 points. Tyre...

The Chicago Bulls blinked and found themselves down 20.
Philadelphia looked like they were moving at the speed of light to start Tuesday night’s battle between the East’s two teams. In the first 3 minutes, four of their five starters had scored. They also had three triples on the board already, which propelled them to a double-digit lead less than halfway through the opening frame.
As he’s been against teams all season long, Tyrese Maxey was an immediate problem. The Bulls didn’t hav...

The Chicago Bears are finding ways to win games that they’ve lost so many times in the past. I feel like I keep typing that, but it’s worth mentioning because it’s a testament to Ben Johnson and the leadership he is instilling in this team. The players have bought in, there isn’t a game they […]
Taking every game down to the wire, you’re going to get burned at some point. In a battle between the current two top teams in the Eastern Conference, the Sixers built a 24-point lead but collapsed in the second half in a 113-111 loss to the Bulls in Chicago Tuesday night. Tyrese Maxey had another […]
It wasn’t the splash some wanted, but the Chicago Bears were active on the NFL’s trade deadline day when they sent a 2026 sixth-round draft pick to the Cleveland Browns for defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a 2026 seventh-rounder. The seventh-round pick the Bears acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles was coming back. To make room […]
The Chicago Bulls will have to wait even longer to bring Coby White back into the fold.
While the organization remained optimistic that White would join the team by the start of the regular season, that optimism quickly waned. White was never able to make it on the court for the preseason, and this resulted in the Bulls eventually ruling White out for multiple weeks.
The initial announcement was that White would continue to rehab his calf injury – which was first suffered in August –...

The 2025 NFL Trade Deadline came and went with the Chicago Bears making only one move.
A trade with the Cleveland Browns for defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka was the lone deal cut by Bears General Manager Ryan Poles on deadline day. So if Chicago’s front office wants to make another deal, it will need to do so via a waiver claim or free-agent addition. And perhaps one of those moves is on the horizon, as Brad Biggs reports ( via Twitter/X ) that the Bears had four running backs in for try...
