NFL COACHING NEWS AND RUMORS — There is so much Bears-specifc content that I want to do before now and tomorrow’s kickoff. However, there are some NFL headlines (and some Bears-adjacent things) that popped up today that I didn’t want to squeeze into Sunday’s Bullets and wasn’t willing to wait until Monday to write up. So I’m pushing it out the door now while I have a moment.
John Harbaugh makes it official with the New York Giants

The Nashville Predators have turned things around after another horrible start to the season; they're only one point out of a Wild Card spot heading into Saturday's play. But GM Barry Trotz is aware that his team isn't quite a serious contender, and is still considering his options. One of his biggest trade chips, under the right circumstances, is Steven Stamkos. Like the team itself, Stamkos has had a huge resurgence over the past couple of months. 17 goals and 28 points in his l...
While the New York Giants finally lock up John Harbaugh with a contractual agreement, the Cleveland Browns and seven other teams continue their head coach search. The Browns have made it official that they have interviewed nine candidates so far. DC Jim Schwartz, despite a long history of failures going from coordinator to head coach […]
The Rangers responded to a turbulent week with a fast start, timely scoring, and a dominant performance from Mika Zibanejad to snap their losing streak.
On a snowy Saturday afternoon, the Flyers lost their sixth game in a row, falling 6-3 to the Rangers. Bad goaltending, bad defensive structure, and bad special teams were again the story, and the Flyers remain in free fall.
The basics
First period: 6:22 – Travis Konecny (Trevor Zegras, Travis Sanheim), 7:05 – Artemi Panarin (Vincent Trocheck, Alexis Lafreniere), 7:26 – Mika Zibanejad (JT Miller, Braden Schneider), 8:25 – Brennan Othmann (Will Cuylle) Second period: 5:38 – Zibanejad ...
The Philadelphia Flyers are without yet another player as center Rodrigo Abols had to exit Saturday afternoon’s game against the New York Rangers after a devastating and nasty-looking injury to his leg.
During the first period of this fairly important game against the division rivals, Abols went into a board battle for a loose puck with Rangers winger Gabe Perreault. Initially, it looked like a fairly harmless play but as the Flyers centerman turned around, it appears that the toe of his ...
As the Chicago Bulls gear up for a second United Center Derrick Rose Night in as many years, this time to retire his jersey (a thing they could have easily done the first time around, had Michael Reinsdorf gotten his act together), they’ve been ramping up the hype machine.
It’s a good thing, too, because the on-court product has been woefully inconsistent. On Friday night, the Bulls blew a fourth-quarter comeback attempt against the lowly Brooklyn Nets , thanks in large part to a pair of ...
The Cleveland Browns have their final initial interview for their vacant head coaching position on Saturday. The Browns head coach search has seen two candidates seemingly crossed off the list, although John Harbaugh hasn’t officially signed or been announced with the New York Giants. News has also come that Cleveland will be giving their own […]

It has flown under the radar, but the Jets are in need of a new defensive coordinator. Steve Wilks was fired after the team’s Week 15 blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. While Chris Harris handled defensive coordinator duties on an interim basis for the final three games, the team is seeking a permanent replacement. […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are back home for exactly one game and it just so happens to be a fairly big one. The New York Rangers front office had to write their fans a letter for the second time and this is the first game where the team have the opportunity to respond. And, well, the Flyers have issues of their own with a hefty losing streak. Should be a, well, interesting one?

The New York Rangers have had a very tough run as of late and rough past two seasons. Certain changes haven't worked out and GM Chris Drury put out a statement that the team will be going through a retooling. That could mean a lot for many of the players. While Artemi Panarin is likely gone, Jonathan Quick is most likely in his last season with the Rangers or the league, and some other tradeable pieces could be on the way out, some talented players will be staying put to build around. This sho...
After a rocky road trip, the Knicks (25*-16) return to Madison Square Garden tonight for a rematch with the Phoenix Suns (24-17). Not ten days ago, New York lost in Arizona, 112-107. The game was tight until Phoenix hit the gas, leaning on Devin Booker’s shot-making and a timely third-quarter surge to seize control. Jalen […]
The big news this week is the Dodgers winning the Kyle Tucker and the Mets grabbing Bo Bichette. It’s some big money. Kyle Tucker is getting that partially deferred 60MM AAV and Bo Bichette is getting an player option protected 43MM AAV. I don’t begrudge them. They’re both at the top of a very high […]
The NFL coaching carousel is in full swing, and for the Dallas Cowboys that means an ongoing search for their newest defensive coordinator. Other teams within the NFC East are actively looking for new coordinators as well, but only the New York Giants were in on the head coaching hiring cycle, landing what many considered […]

1949 The White Sox purchased starter Bill Bevens from the Yankees. The righthander battled control issues throughout his career, but had managed to ascend from journeyman to star with a brilliant 1946 season in the Bronx: 16-13, 2.23 ERA/3.14 FIP, 154 ERA+ and 5.0 WAR over 249 2/3 innings. But after a poor 1947 season […]
