The Chicago Bulls edged their way back towards a .500 record tonight with a resounding 138-110 victory against the visiting LA Clippers. Ultimately, a pace-and-space Chicago squad missing Josh Giddey throttled a halfcourt-heavy, heliocentric Clippers club without Kawhi Leonard.
The Bulls rained down a season-high tally of triples and enjoyed a pass-happy approach to improve to a thoroughly mediocre 21-22 record on the year.
Coby White , even playing on a minutes restriction, looked l...
The Mets, continuing their roster overhaul after their disastrous 2025, agreed to a trade with the White Sox for center fielder Luis Robert Jr on Tuesday night. The Mets are sending two young players to the South Side of Chicago in return, one we have seen a lot of in Luisangel Acuña, and one that […]
There was a time, maybe three years ago, when this would have been seriously gigantic news. Back in 2023, Luis Robert Jr. hit 38 HRs en route to a 4.9 WAR season as a 25-year-old center fielder, just a few successful seasons into a six-year, $50M deal with the White Sox. A budding star in Chicago for a team with slowly decaying, but still lofty hopes. But things have fallen sufficiently far the last two years for both the White Sox and Luis Robert Jr. (just 210 games combined, 84 wRC+, 1.3 WAR...

The Chicago Bulls have a tall task on their hands tonight as they host the red-hot Los Angeles Clippers. Winners of 13 of their last 15 games , the Clippers have surged up the Western Conference standings.
Not long ago, the entire league was holding its breath when they sat near the bottom of the West, especially with the reigning NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder owning their draft pick. Fast forward to now, and Los Angeles finds itself firmly in the play-in picture, with a real chance ...
1. Congratulations to the Chicago Bears on one of the most fun seasons of football they’ve ever put together. Seriously. That was awesome. Obviously, it’s over now, but it was awesome to take the ride with all of you. 2. Weren’t we just talking about how Caleb Williams just made the greatest throw Bears fans […]
The Golden State Warriors were dealt a significant blow on Monday night when small forward Jimmy Butler suffered a season-ending ACL tear, according ESPN’s Shams Charania . Golden State had been trending up prior to the injury and walked away with a win against the Miami Heat even after Butler went down in the third quarter.
The Warriors have won seven of their last 10 contests, and, at 24-19, are suddenly within range of a top-six seed in the Western Conference.
But losing their sec...
Even though we are just two days into the Chicago Bears offseason, it is never too early to take a look at players we’d like to see back next season. One such player in my book would be safety Kevin Byard III, who is a free-agent-to-be when the new league year begins and is coming off a solid two-year run with Chicago’s football team. Perhaps a third year is on the horizon.
While speaking with reporters at Halas Hall, Kevin Byard said there is “mutual interest” between the two sides:

With the 20-17 win over the Chicago Bears in the NFC Divisional Round, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay earned his 10th playoff win of his career. It moved him into a tie for 14th all-time with coaches like Bill Walsh and George Seifert. What’s unique about McVay’s playoff record is that all 10 […]
Frank Schwindel replaced Anthony Rizzo at first base after the big selloff in 2021, and actually hit pretty well: .342/.389/.613 with 13 home runs in 56 games, enough to get him some downballot Rookie of the Year votes. He didn’t hit as well in 2022 and the team, picked over by the selloff, didn’t play […]
When the Chicago Cubs sign pitchers to minor league deals this time of year, they usually fit neatly into one of two buckets: a big league reclamation project (recent example: Trent Thornton ), or a prospect/development play (recent example: Tyler Ras ).
The latest minor league pitcher signing, however, is a bit of a mix of both:

Well, after the Winnipeg Jets dropped a 2-0 contest to the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night, they have remained with the 2nd best odds for the upcoming 1st overall selection in June ( a 13.5% shot at 1st overall, a 14.4% chance at the 2nd pick, odds of 30.7% for the 3rd selection, and 41.7% of the time will end up in 4th ). Once again I simulated the lottery via Tankathon and here is who got the top 5 picks this time:
Vancouver Canucks ( 25.5% odds )
Chicago Blackhawks ( 9.5% odd...
Dominique Robinson made the most of his playing time in the Bears’ NFC Divisional Round appearance.
Robinson, a Day 3 pick from Ryan Poles’ first draft class as Bears general manager, earned a team-best 91.4 grade from Pro Football Focus for his efforts in Chicago’s second-round playoff loss against the Los Angeles Rams on its initial breakdown of the game. And upon further review, Robinson’s grade ended up as an 89.5 — which was still the best on the team. What a pleasant surprise that t...
The Kansas City Chiefs are reuniting with former offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy after a disappointing 2025 season that resulted in a major shakeup in the coaching staff. Bieniemy’s 2025 season was the opposite: he was hired to coach the running backs for the Chicago Bears and first-year head coach Ben Johnson, who was the hottest […]
One of the underrated aspects of the Los Angeles Rams’ divisional round playoff win over the Chicago Bears was how they adjusted at corner and forced three interceptions on Caleb Williams. Corner has been the Achilles heel of the Rams team for the 2025 season. Bigger receivers—AJ Brown, Michael Wilson, and others—have abused this secondary […]
The Blackhawks have a roster — and pipeline — that’s loaded with high draft picks. Their collection of former first-round picks is tasked with changing the trajectory of the franchise and bring the Blackhawks back to contending. But they may have found a defensive pair that is effectively playing shut-down hockey without that level of pedigree.

Day 2 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I woke up, saw it was 6 degrees outside, and questioned the life decisions that led me to this point. Is dealing with a bitter winter easier when you have football games to look forward to dissecting? That is a question I’ll ponder throughout the morning.
On this date in 2025, Ben Johnson and the Bears did a thing:

When the Los Angeles Rams were set to take on the Chicago Bears in the NFC Divisional Round of the playoffs, many assumed there would be a lot of points. After all, this was a matchup between two of the best offensive minds in the NFL going head-to-head in Sean McVay and Ben Johnson. Instead, […]
Cubs left-hander Justin Steele made just four starts in 2025 before missing the rest of the season with Tommy John surgery. That surgery took place April 18, 2025, and the normal time frame for returning is between 12 and 15 months. That means, theoretically, that Steele could be back pitching sometime in late April, though […]
How are we doing, Chicago? A Bears-shaped wound is still fresh from Sunday, but the Bulls play tonight! So yes, the pain may actually continue.
However, I am an Indiana alum, so I’m in a good mood — maybe good enough to not be impacted too much by a Bulls game against the Clippers. Let’s see if that happiness is contagious.
Let’s talk Bulls basketball.

The Chicago Blackhawks have dealt with Connor Murphy trade chatter for the past couple of years, but the league-wide market is expected to get louder now that the top right-shot names have started coming off the board. Murphy is a 32-year-old, right-shot, defense-first blueliner who is still logging tough minutes, and he’s also nearing the 800-game mark with 793 career regular-season games to his name.
Why Connor Murphy is suddenly a popular call
For contenders, Murphy checks t...
The Kansas City Chiefs’ decision on Monday to hire Chicago Bears running backs coach Eric Bieniemy for a second stint as the team’s offensive coordinator was largely met with fanbase skepticism. After missing the playoffs for the first time in over a decade, many observers hoped for a coordinator from outside of head coach Andy […]
The Cubs Convention is over, the Bears’ fine season is, too, and only the Blackhawks remain standing in the playoff hunt. But there is hope for the 2026 Cubs squad, after a couple of major and quite a few minor signings, with only a couple of roster decisions to make unless something special happens. Marquee […]
