Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
Sean McVay’s coaching tree with the Rams has a wide reach, but one name that never comes up in those conversations is Thomas Brown. Although Brown actually has head coaching experience already (he was Bears interim head coach in 2024), his rise through the ranks since being an offensive assistant for McVay from 2020-2022 has […]
I’m doing a little digging as we get ready for three weeks without NHL games to discuss, and something got my attention that I thought I would share before the Blackhawks play their last game before the Olympic break. Landon Slaggert is actually generating a surprising amount of offensive chances for the Blackhawks this season. According to Natural Stat Trick , here are your top five Blackhawks in individual scoring chances for per 60 minutes of ice time (at 5-on-5) since the start of Jan...
Following two seasons with the Chicago Cubs and eight in the National League, Bellinger found himself in a very different (but also familiar) environment after he was dealt to the New York Yankees in December of 2024. Bellinger’s dad, Clay, was a Yankee from 1999-2001, winning two World Series championships with the team before playing […]
Welcome back our countdown of the top 25 prospects in the Cubs system. For an introduction and an explanation of the rankings, check out yesterday’s introduction. Also a reminder. Clicking on the player’s name will take you to their milb dot com page. 16. Pierce Coppola. LHP. DOB: 12/17/2002. 6’8”, 245. Drafted 7th round (2025) […]
Day 16 of the Chicago Bears offseason. In quiet moments this time of year, I think about the only time I’ve ever seen my favorite team in the Super Bowl was at a Super Bowl party that I didn’t even really want to attend. I’m not sure what I’d do if the Bears made a Super Bowl now. But I know I wouldn’t go to a party I have no interest attending. And now, I’m wondering if people actually like Super Bowl parties. It’s been a busy morning at BN Bears. We can begin with Chicago’s search for...
February has arrived, and we are 17 days away from MLB teams playing their first spring training games. Before we know it, we will be in the summer, and teams will be drafting their next crop of superstars. Let’s look at a 2026 MLB Mock Draft as things start to heat up. 2026 MLB Mock Draft The White Sox are at the top of the 2026 MLB Draft, and there is a stud shortstop waiting for them. Roch Cholowsky dominated at UCLA in 2025 and looks like a future MLB star. He leads our latest mo...
Let’s address the elephant in the room: the Bears have negative cap space heading into the 2026 NFL offseason. It’s not the abundance of resources fans are used to seeing. Chicago has been big spenders almost every year that Ryan Poles has been their general manager. Last year was no exception: they traded for both […]
Count with me, just two days to go until the trade deadline. And with it comes all the allure and perceived value of expiring contracts that the Chicago Bulls are suddenly boasting. The desperation is starting to seep through, and as a result, the calls for Zion Williamson are getting louder. According to Joe Cowley, the Bulls recently made another call to the Pelicans, expressing interest in former No. 1 overall pick Zion Williamson. Chicago has reportedly been in consistent contact with...
Is it just me, or does that bad loss start to taste a little sweeter when the trade deadline is this close? The Chicago Bulls have a golden opportunity tonight to add to my happiness—and their misery—by dropping another game, this time against a Central Division rival, the Milwaukee Bucks. With the Charlotte Hornets hot on the Bulls tail, suddenly playing some of their best basketball of the season, the reality of Chicago missing the play-in is very real. And somehow, that hope gets ...
The Blackhawks were loud in the room after their big 6-3 win last night. Ryan Donato had a career year and got a nice extension, but he’s struggled to find the back of the net consistently as his role has changed. He had a four-point night. Ilya Mikheyev continues to be a standout defensively for the Blackhawks and his name is floating in trade rumors. He, too, had a four-point night. Their line, with Jason Dickinson , combined to put up 10 points last night — while spending a good amount...
I hope you’re having a swell Tuesday morning … Pitchers and catchers for some clubs will start reporting, officially, to Spring Training sites in exactly one week. That doesn’t mark any kind of hard cut-off for signings and trades, but if you’re a free agent pitcher, in particular, it does seem like you might be eager to get something done so that you can arrive with your fellow pitchers and catchers on a normal schedule with your new team. Which is to say, for that group of moves, spec...
We are launching a new daily article here at South Side Sox, more prominently than our items that pop up on The Feed. It falls under the category of White Sox Discussions, which you’ll see in a few weeks will also be our new branding for Game Threads. While the White Sox have pulled off […]
The NFL offseason is the time for change. The Chicago Bears’ front office has seen a change as assistant general manager Ian Cunningham has left for the Atlanta Falcons. Chicago’s coaching staff lost running backs coach Eric Bieniemy to the Kansas City Chiefs and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle to the Baltimore Ravens. And we’ll soon […]
The news keeps checking in on the checking in and so we continue to await with bated breath while the machinery spins. The Giants no longer need a second baseman and so the Red Sox are the only destination to hang speculation on. Smart money says Nico Hoerner and Matt Shaw stay put but there’s […]

Pitchers and catchers report before long, but expert baseball analysts have already been gazing into crystal balls and algorithms and coming up with analyses of where they things stand as the offseason burns away.

1988 Helping to spur an upset in the 1988 Caribbean Series, José DeLeón started the Series-opening win for his Escogido Leones. Just six days later, the White Sox traded the right-handed workhorse to St. Louis for Lance Johnson, Ricky Horton and cash. 1996 To help fortify a comically-thin rotation (of the four core starters in […]

The Chicago Blackhawks snapped a five-game losing streak with a 6-3 win over the San Jose Sharks at the United Center on Monday. The Blackhawks struck first on the power play seven minutes into the opening period.

Earlier today, the Chicago Bears named tight end Colston Loveland, the tenth overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, as their Rookie of the Year. In any other year, the Bears could have honored wide receiver Luther Burden or running back Kyle Monangai, but this year, it was the dynamic Loveland who took home the […]
Remember when the Blackhawks couldn’t score on the power play? And went 0-for-26 over what felt like a calendar year between scores while skating with the advantage? The one stat that stood out most in the first period was… one — the number of goals the Blackhawks scored? No. The number of shots on net the Sharks had in 20 minutes. At 10:36 into the second period, Yaroslav Askarov skated to the bench in defeat. The Blackhawks had a stunning 4-0 lead on 10 shots on net, and the Sharks were...

Head down to the comments to talk about Monay’s game against the Sharks! Game Preview
The San Jose Sharks are looking for redemption tonight after putting up a subpar effort in Calgary just a few nights ago. The Sharks are in Chicago visiting the Blackhawks for stop number three on the road trip. It doesn’t get easier from here, so this really feels like a game that the Sharks need to win. This is the first of three meetings between the Sharks and the Blackhawks. The Blackhawks are probably out of the playoffs with a 21-25-9 record and just 51 points, the Blackhawks a...
