The regular season hasn’t even started yet, and Matas Buzelis is already turning heads!
The Chicago Bulls’ second-year forward came into this season with high expectations. While head coach Billy Donovan tried to start things off slowly, it was only a matter of time before Buzelis moved into the starting lineup. He proceeded to look like one of the top rookies from the 2024 draft class, as his versatile two-way impact helped lead Chicago to a winning record over its final 32 games.

A familiar face will help NBC welcome back the NBA during Tuesday’s opening night doubleheader.
Following a two-decade-long hiatus, the network will officially take over as the league’s primary partner and kick off a new season by broadcasting Rockets-Thunder and Warriors-Lakers. As if the return of the famous partnership wasn’t highly anticipated enough, NBC announced a handful of months back that legend Michael Jordan would join the team as a special contributor . Exactly what that woul...

Caleb Williams didn’t mince words when assessing his performance after the Chicago Bears’ Week 7 win against the New Orleans Saints.
“There are things that I can be better at, there are things that I’m going to be better at,” Williams said, via the Chicago Sun-Times . “There are things that weren’t hitting (Sunday), and you just have those days sometimes. It’s nice that we have a defense, we have special teams — a punter, kicker — that can put us ahead, that can help us win games. A run g...

Although I think Paul Skenes would probably be everyone’s first (and the likely correct) answer to the question “Who’s the best pitcher in baseball right now?” Tigers lefty Tarik Skubal is at least in the conversation. In fact, Skubal arguably out-pitched Skenes this year, though it’s not really worth a debate (they’re both the elite of the elite, which is high enough praise for either guy). And that’s what makes the latest bit of rumors so exciting.
According to the latest speculation (w...

I’ve done my best to never get too high or too low with this year’s Bears team. Whether it was after the embarrassing Detroit loss or the thrilling Dallas blowout win, I’ve tried to always remember that this is just year one of Ben Johnson’s tenure, and that his process is going to take some time to fully set in and revamp the culture. This is a year-long development plan for Caleb Williams and the rest of this young roster. There’s going to be some really fun moments, and some annoying ones. ...

Although I do believe that the Cubs should have plenty of reasons (and more than enough payroll space) to be aggressive in free agency this offseason, their intentions on that front aren’t particularly clear. That’s due in part to Jed Hoyer’s history of free agent passivity, as well as the new CBA negotiations and expected lockout.
But there’s also the fact that the 2026 roster is already pretty full-up with potential starters:

Chicago Bulls basketball is two days away. Brace yourself.
To celebrate opening week, the Bulls officially unveiled their 2025-26 City Edition uniforms ! Fans will have to wait until December to get an on-court look at the newest threads, but the initial photos have already won me over. I’ve been critical of some jersey designs in the past, and I’m still not sure the NBA should be forcing teams to roll out something new every year. With that being the case, I love that they kept this ye...

Tyler Bertuzzi’s first season with the Chicago Blackhawks was solid overall. Bertuzzi finished the season with 23 goals in 82 games, the second-highest goal total of his career and the first time he appeared in all 82 games.
But that didn’t come without discussion about his consistency. As Scott Powers wrote for The Athletic back on March 23, Bertuzzi’s saw stretches last season where he “had zero goals and seven assists in 20 games. Before that, he had 12 goals and five assists in 20 gam...

Freddy Peralta has been an outstanding pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers for the past eight seasons, giving the Chicago Cubs fits along the way. He has become something of an anchor for the Brewers rotation, pitching like an ace in 2025, and is just 29 years old.
So it’s high time for the Brewers to trade him.
From The Athletic :
“In this case, as the winter unfolds, the Brewers are expected to at least field offers for starting pitcher Freddy Peralta, according to people fami...

The Chicago Bulls will begin the 2025-26 season without their leading scorer.
The team officially announced on Monday morning that Coby White will remain sidelined with a calf strain. While he has resumed on-court activity, the team will look to re-evaluate him in two weeks. With the Bulls hosting their season-opener at the United Center on Tuesday, this puts White in line to miss at least their first six regular-season contests.
It sounds as if the earliest he could return would be ...
