The Blackhawks will celebrate their Dynasty Era as part of their Centennial celebration tonight before hosting the Bruins.

Derrick Rose Memories, Chicago Injury Updates, Other Bulls Bullets

As the Chicago Bulls gear up for a second United Center Derrick Rose Night in as many years, this time to retire his jersey (a thing they could have easily done the first time around, had Michael Reinsdorf gotten his act together), they’ve been ramping up the hype machine. It’s a good thing, too, because the on-court product has been woefully inconsistent. On Friday night, the Bulls blew a fourth-quarter comeback attempt against the lowly Brooklyn Nets , thanks in large part to a pair of ...

Like a Virgin: Blackhawks vs. Bruins Preview

The Chicago Blackhawks host the Boston Bruins on Saturday night, looking to reset their homestand after dropping three straight games at the United Center. The Bruins have put together a decently strong season so far, sitting in a wild card spot with a .583 points percentage (27-19-2), which is no small feat considering they’re slogging through what is arguably the toughest division in hockey — one where every team is north of .500. They’ve been especially hot of late, going 7–2–1 in thei...

Will Ricky Pearsall be limited vs. Seahawks?

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to have wide receiver Ricky Pearsall back for the first time since their Week 17 win over the Chicago Bears when they play the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Divisional Round on Saturday. It’s been an up-and-down second year for Pearsall, who has dealt with knee and ankle injuries […]

World Series Mystery, Hoyer on “Why Bregman?”, 150 Years of the Cubs, and Other Cubs Bullets

The 2026 Cubs Convention is providing WAY too many opportunities for content. I’ve already got two blogs out this morning ( Jon Lester’s comments + the Cubs Hall of Fame announcement ), and I have AT LEAST three more to go after this one … and that’s excluding anything that comes out of the convention today! My keyboard might start on fire from the friction. So, let’s just get right to it. I posted the clips last night, but here are some more visuals from the 2016 Chicago Cubs...

Colston Loveland’s Homefield Advantage

Counting the playoffs, Michigan product Colston Loveland leads all Chicago Bears in targets and receiving yards this season, and according to Sumer Sports, he’s the highest-rated rookie tight end in yards per route run.

Should the Red Sox trade for Nico Hoerner of the Cubs?

Welcome back to the 2025-26 edition of Smash or Pass, in which we examine potential free agent and trade targets to determine whether the Red Sox should pursue them and what it would take to land them. Today we look at a Gold Glove infielder. Who is he and where does he come from? He’s Nico […]

Today in White Sox History: January 17

1949 The White Sox purchased starter Bill Bevens from the Yankees. The righthander battled control issues throughout his career, but had managed to ascend from journeyman to star with a brilliant 1946 season in the Bronx: 16-13, 2.23 ERA/3.14 FIP, 154 ERA+ and 5.0 WAR over 249 2/3 innings. But after a poor 1947 season […]

How Ben Johnson’s play layering beat the Packers

The NFC Wildcard game between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers evolved into a true coaching clinic, a legendary chess match orchestrated by Bears offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. His layered play-calling and masterful conditioning of the Packers’ defense ultimately led to the game-winning touchdown. Johnson’s first move was a calculated test of the […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 1/17/26

It was a heck of a hot stove week, with two pairs of transactions seemingly moving in unison. The Cubs swiped Alex Bregman from the Red Sox, which prompted Boston to pivot to a five-year deal with Ranger Suarez. A couple nights later, the Dodgers did what they do and signed Kyle Tucker, which appeared […]

Brooklyn Nets survive near-collapse vs. Chicago Bulls, win 112-109

The Brooklyn Nets returned home to face the Chicago Bulls on Friday night after completing a miraculous 3-game road trip. Miraculously, the Nets lost all games to teams with a combined 39-70 record. Perhaps it’s a sign that this year’s attempt at tanking is blessed by the basketball gods, but that’s no consolation to Head […]

Chicago Cubs Executive Chairman Tom Ricketts announced at Friday night’s Cubs Convention Opening Ceremony that former Cubs catcher Jody Davis and pitcher Jon Lester will be inducted into the Cubs Hall of Fame this year.

Pre-Gamin’: Bulls vs Nets (6:30 PM CT) – Projected Lineups, How to Watch, More

The 19-21 Chicago Bulls head to New York on Friday night, where they’ll play the first game of a home-and-home clash with the 11-27 Brooklyn Nets. On Wednesday, Chicago barely survived a Utah Jazz team that would clearly love to lose as much as possible down this season’s home stretch. A botched Keyonte George jumper was all that stood between the Bulls and overtime, against a Jazz club missing two of its best three players. Utah was sitting ex-Bull Lauri Markkanen with an illness (he als...
