Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
We’ll occasionally have staff roundtables here at Windy City Gridiron, where members of our team answer a few questions about the Chicago Bears, but today I wanted to flip the script. I guess you can call this a reverse roundtable, because I want you, our WCG members, to answer these three questions. 1) Of all […]
Happy Sunday, Bulls fans! We witnessed two of the rarest things in the NBA last night: a Bulls win and a trade. Both on the same night? Guys, we’re getting spoiled. Chick-fil-A might be closed on Sundays, but there are no off days when it comes to talking Chicago hoops. Tonight, the Bulls–Heat trilogy reaches its final chapter. These two teams also faced off last night, making this the second game of a same-teams, same-city back-to-back. There’s a lot to break down about th...

The Blackhawks schedule is giving everyone — the players, coaches and fans — a desperately needed full weekend off to exhale and get ready for two more exciting games before… three weeks off. The Hawks will be on the ice for a practice this morning, getting ready for Macklin Celebrini and the San Jose Sharks to visit the United Center on Monday night. Good read here from Scott Powers at The Athletic about Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar appearing to be back to where they were before their...

On Saturday night, the Kings, Cavs and Bulls completed a three-team trade that involved two Lakers trade targets. Cleveland sent De’Andre Hunter to Sacramento, who will send Dennis Schröder and Keon Ellis to Cleveland. Chicago […]
The Chicago Bulls are… making a smart trade for draft assets? What is happening? Per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype , Chicago will absorb the expiring contract of center Dario Saric while adding a pair of second-round picks, as part of a three-team exchange headlined by the Cleveland Cavaliers offloading forward De’Andre Hunter to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for wing Keon Ellis and the contract of veteran guard Dennis Schroder. The Bulls will waive native Chicagoan Jevon Carter, who wra...
Two days after the Miami Heat bested the Chicago Bulls in Chicago, the Bulls returned the favor in the Heat’s house, earning a 125-118 win inside Kaseya Center Saturday evening.

The San Francisco Giants made no secret about their desire to acquire a second baseman this offseason. They were never really in on free agent Bo Bichette, it seemed. There was a little smoke with Nico Hoerner, but it never seemed likely that the Chicago Cubs would deal him. They surprisingly made a run at […]

The Bears didn’t have much cap wiggle room at season’s end, but […]
Yesterday, the Chicago Bears named kicker Cairo Santos as their Special Teams Player of the Year, which was well deserved, because in a season full of clutch moments, Santos had a hand in several of their comebacks. His understanding of the Soldier Field winds is something he’s learned in the last six years in Chicago, […]
The 23-25 Chicago Bulls will look to, well, lose a fourth straight contest on Saturday night as they continue their three-game mini-series against the 26-23 Miami Heat. That’s because the Bulls are sitting several key players for the first game of a back-to-back Miami slate. Or maybe they’re sitting people to preserve their bodies ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline. Who can say? According to a recent NBA injury report , Chicago will be missing a boatload of players against Miami on Saturd...
The Nets won the ABA’s final game. Then they were forced to sell the best player in the world just to survive. Yeah, that qualifies as a justification for a curse. The Nets and Nuggets were the last two teams to play an ABA game: May 13, 1976. It’s the 50-year anniversary for the final […]
Chris Getz and Will Venable definitely seem to understand that earning fan loyalty is not an easy task. Fresh off one of the strongest offseasons in recent club history and a 19-game improvement from 2024, the White Sox front office must balance providing fans with hope for the future while keeping their focus on the […]
Day 13 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I haven’t slept well in about a week. The bad news is that it is starting to catch up with me. But the good news is that I have a plan in place to get a good night’s sleep tonight. Hopefully, nothing throws me off or sidetracks my plans. Keep your fingers crossed. Happy Senior Bowl Day! Patrick has a Senior Bowl primer full of names Bears fans should get to know at a variety of positions including edge rushers, interior defensive linemen, linebacke...

You might not think this photo has enough evidence or clues to figure out the date and situation. After all the sleuthing photos I’ve posted here, though… you should not doubt me.

As much as Chicago Bears fans might not like to admit it, they now have a priority even higher than fixing the defensive line: finding a left tackle. With Ozzy Trapilo going down due to a serious patellar tendon injury that will require a long recovery, this team’s left tackle for the 2026 season might […]
1909 White Sox catcher Billy Sullivan secured a patent on the first chest protector. It contained a wind pad with compressed air and became the forerunner of the modern catcher’s chest protector. Sullivan was the White Sox catcher from 1901-14. Sullivan gets the patent one day before his 34th birthday. 1956 Buck Weaver died in Chicago, at the age of […]
SoxFest Live kicked off Friday night at the Ramova Theatre, as the baseball offseason wraps up and pitchers and catchers prepare to report for Spring Training.
