For weeks, baseball insiders have been saying that the free agent market has been slow moving. However it only takes one big move to potentially jump start things, and we may have gotten that in the Chicago Cubs signing free agent 3B Alex Bregman to a 5 year, $175M deal. Where does that take us? […]

Right when we were all excited for a Connor vs Connor matchup and seeing the Blackhawks at full strength with Bedard back in the lineup… it was Bedard who got sick and was not in the lineup. Spencer Knight was really good, and the skaters in front of him were also very active with their sticks. Unfortunately, it was a shot that hit a body that got Edmonton on the board first almost 15 minutes into the contest. Zach Hyman was credited with the goal. Evan Bouchard banked a shot into the net...

We thought the Blackhawks were done with the whole being sick thing when everyone showed up looking good at the morning skate on Monday. We are in fact not clear. And this one hurts. Connor Bedard , who returned from his shoulder injury just two games ago and had two beautiful assists on Saturday night in Nashville, will not play against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night because he’s sick.

As we get closer to the Olympic break, it seems like there are going to be two stories to follow in the NHL: is the arena ready in Milan yet? and who’s getting traded before the fifth of February? There was a flurry of action around the NHL on Monday. The biggest headline grabbing news was a surprise coaching change. But there were a couple notable contracts signed, a former Blackhawks prospect got called up and a veteran netminder might be done for the year. Let’s take a quick lap a...
Colston Loveland’s arrow continues to point upward. The Chicago Bears rookie tight end was the team’s highest-graded player, according to Pro Football Focus’ estimations.

When rookie left tackle Ozzy Trapilo hobbled off the field on Saturday night to save the Chicago Bears a timeout, he was in visible pain, and we feared the worst.

I don’t know about all of you, but I’m having a tough time observing the 24-hour rule this weekend after Saturday night’s win. Yesterday, I spent most of the day consuming Bears-Packers content. Today, I woke up still on a high from the win. Luckily, I’m sure Ben Johnson has fully turned the page for him and his team as they prepare to host the Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field on Sunday. Let’s try to do the same, shall we? It’s time to react one final time (well, for now at least) to the...
