You will continue to see his work here for a few days, but he will be leaving us at the end of November. I originally hired Eli directly out of college, where he was writing for the Daily Illini...

If I could split a game ball among the Chicago Bears rookies, I’d do it without thinking twice. There were plenty of contributors in the Bears’ 31-28 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12, which makes it hard to choose who should get a game ball. But with that being said, making Bears rookies share a game ball is something that feels sensible, logical, and fitting. Practical? Not so much. However, with several first-year players making strong cases for a game ball, I’m down to be...

The San Francisco 49ers are under the lights against the Carolina Panthers in a game that could put the Panthers in first place in the NFC South with a win. While it’s not a must-win for the Niners, any loss during the next three games would give them less room for error in late December. […]
