At his peak, Larry Gura never needed to overpower hitters to get them out.
Craig Muder
A late-developing lefty who didn’t hit his stride until his 30s, Larry Gura was ahead of the curve in one aspect of his career: Fitness and nutrition.
It helped Gura become one of the most consistent starters of the early 1980s.
Larry Gura went 126-97 with a 3.76 ERA over 16 major league seasons with the Cubs, Yank...
It was glorious to have football back in our lives during Week 1. Unfortunately, Week 2 reminded us of this game's harsh realities. Both the Chicago Bears (Caleb Williams) and Washington Commanders (Jayden Daniels) lost their third-year quarterbacks for an undetermined amount of time. Thankfully, there have been a lot of quarterbacks performing at a […]

Getty Images It is understandable that in a game where the Chicago Bears managed just three points, star tight end Colston Loveland had a quiet performance. Where it becomes head-scratching, though, is that it followed a Week 1 outing in which Loveland went without a single catch. That begs the question of whether this is simply a slow start or if there is reason for concern about his season-long outlook. Entering the season, Loveland would have been among the last tight ends one would expect ...
Caleb Williams was the breakout star of the 2025 NFL season, rejuvenating one of the league’s iconic franchises and giving hope to a passionate fanbase. Williams arguably one-upped his performance from last year in Week 1, leading the Chicago Bears offense to put up a whopping 59 points in a win over Carolina. But just…
In the fourth quarter of the 9-3 loss against the Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams went down on the field after hurting his right leg.

The Green Bay Packers are 1-1 with the Atlanta Falcons headed to Lambeau Field and new NFLPA player rep Micah Parsons still rehabbing his left knee after last year’s torn ACL injury.

The good news for Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is that his injured hamstring is about as good as he or the team could have hoped. The bad news? Social media is roasting Williams’ real-time reaction to the injury when it happened. Some are funny. Others are downright vicious, questioning the toughness of the same quarterback who got beat to a pulp as a rookie. If you watched Williams go down late in Sunday’s game, it was a shocking moment. He fell untouched and writhed in pain, unable to ge...
Aram Leighton and Elijah Evans break down every National League prospect headed to the 2026 Arizona Fall League, going organization by organization from the Braves through the Rockies.

Which NL org sent the most int...
Sunday didn’t go according to plan for the Bears. Not only did Caleb Williams suffer a hamstring injury, but Chicago ended up losing 9-3 to the Vikings in a low-scoring affair that was the complete opposite from the high-scoring shootout against the Panthers last week. The rainy conditions made it difficult for either team to […]
Heading into Kansas City to take on the Chiefs seemed rather daunting after both teams’ Week 1 performances. Then again, the Bears went from 59 points to 3 in the span of seven days, so week to week outcomes don’t always carry over. The Indianapolis Colts looked like they might be headed for slaughter. That […]

Bears The NFL is truly a week-to-week league. After dropping nearly 60 points in a Week 1 win, the Bears were humbled and scored just three in a Week 2 loss to the Vikings in horrible weather. Even worse, they lost QB Caleb Williams for a still-to-be-determined amount of time with a hamstring injury that looked like it could be major at first glance. Bears HC Ben Johnson will go from targeting the NFL scoring record to just trying to keep the season afloat with backup QB Tyson Bagent. “Their d...
CHICAGO — The insult of the Tigers’ mathematical elimination from postseason contention met the injury of a key starter in Sunday’s 8-1 loss to the White Sox. Right-hander Troy Melton left the game with forearm tightness during a three-run fourth inning that turned the game on a rainy, windy evening at Rate Field. Detroit placed Melton on the 15-day injured list Monday with what the team called right arm fatigue after Melton underwent a series of tests Monday afternoon. The move effectively en...

Just a week ago, it looked like the Chicago offense was headed to the moon. It turns out the moon is a harder commute than we realized. Variance and weather can be major headaches in the fantasy football space, but injuries are without question the ultimate killjoy. The Minnesota at Chicago game was a cocktail of all three annoyances, a 9-3 win for the Vikings and a nightmare for fantasy managers.
