It should come as little surprise, but PFF dropped their grades for the NFL playoff action this weekend, and their highest graded play by any quarterback this weekend was none other than Caleb Williams’ 4th & 8 conversion to Rome Odunze that saved Chicago’s season.
In case you missed it (you’re probably coming out of a coma this morning if you did), here it is:

The Edmonton Oilers head to Chicago tonight to face a Blackhawks team that’s been through absolute chaos recently. An illness bug ripped through the roster, taking out five starters at one point. They had to call up multiple AHL players just to ice a lineup, including an emergency goalie. It was a mess. But here’s…
We’re just four days from Cubs Convention in downtown Chicago and the Cubs have a lot to celebrate. They signed Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million deal this weekend and traded for starting pitcher Edward Cabrera a few days before that. It’s also the 10th anniversary of the 2016 Cubs World Series championship team, […]
The Blackhawks look to continue their strong start to 2026 when they face the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night at the United Center.
When these two teams met in Edmonton back on Nov. 1, the Oilers were still in their typical early-season malaise, owning just a 5-4-3 record before beating the Hawks 3-2 in overtime . But Edmonton hit the gas around Thanksgiving, going 11-5-1 in late November and most of December to surge from outside of the playoff picture to second place in the Pacific Divi...
Like many youthful teams in 2025-26, the Chicago Blackhawks have yo-yoed up and down this season. After a surprisingly good start, then free-falling as the weather got colder, are the Blackhawks back on the come-up? That’s what their fans hope for ahead of tonight’s matchup against the Edmonton Oilers. Connor Bedard is back after nearly…
Green Bay Packers replacement starting center Sean Rhyan, in for Elgton Jenkins, who has been on injured reserve since Week 11, went down with an injury on the Packers’ final drive against the Chicago Bears. Because he wasn’t able to get off the field under his own power in time, Green Bay had to take […]
The annual Cubs Convention will be held his weekend, Friday through Sunday, Jan. 16-18, at the Sheraton Grand Chicago. Hopefully, the Cubs will have announced the Alex Bregman signing by then and he’ll make his first appearance as a Cub. Beyond that, at this year’s convention many events will be focused on the club’s 150th […]
Homophobes attacked Caleb Williams and his painted nails as the Bears fell behind in their NFL playoff game. Then came the 4th quarter.

It’s been a really fun weekend in Chicago, and now we’re right back into Monday, dodging the Blues and seeing Red. The Bulls have a long week ahead: four games in six days, starting tomorrow against the Houston Rockets. If they can wrap this stretch with at least three wins against mostly non-playoff teams, I’d say this weekend’s happiness has a real chance to survive all the way to next Sunday.
Let’s talk Bulls basketball.
The Bulls will be taking on the Houston Rockets at a very ...
Despite losing their final two games, excitement was in the air across Chicago this week as the Bears prepared to host their first playoff game in seven years. Following their 0-2 start, there’s been a level of magic around this team for the majority of the season. Most fans know that, as fun as this […]
With the signing of Alex Bregman by the Cubs to a five-year, $175 million deal, reported Saturday though not yet officially announced by the team, I thought it was time to take another look at the team’s payroll and luxury tax figures for the upcoming season. Based on reporting on Bregman’s deal, this is not […]
Alex Bregman and the Chicago Cubs have agreed to terms on a five year, $175 million deal, per multiple reports. There are no opt outs on the deal, but the third baseman does get a full no-trade clause. There is also reportedly $70 million in deferrals, though the exact details of the deferrals have not […]
The Blackhawks got a well-earned day off on Sunday. Well earned both because they won a game in Nashville on Saturday night and, frankly, they need to get away from each other and get this flu bug out of their collective systems. They’re rolling right now; the Blackhawks’ only loss this calendar year was on Friday night with a bunch of guys missing and others playing at less than 100 percent.
But the calendar doesn’t slow down in the NHL, and it sure doesn’t for the Blackhawks in January ...
It appears that the position of the Green Bay Packers’ leadership on head coach Matt LaFleur has remained unchanged after Saturday’s devastating Wild Card loss to the Chicago Bears. Going into the weekend, reporting indicated that the team planned to try to bring LaFleur back for 2026 (at least), and that appears to still be […]
Welcome to the Game Day Thread for the games in the week of 1/12. The Predators did not win the week last week, though they certainly could have. Losing the one “four point” game to the wounded Chicago Blackhawks was not a good look.
We’ve got a tough week ahead.
Games this week are:
Tuesday 1/13 vs Edmonton Oilers 7pm Central on FanDuel and ESPN
Friday 1/16 at Colorado Avalanche 8pm Central on FanDuel and ESPN
Saturday 1/17 at Vegas Golden Knights 9pm Central on F...
The Los Angeles Rams will take on the Chicago Bears in the next round of the playoffs, and at this point, no matter who you play you’re going to play a tough opponent, but the Bears in Chicago? Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams with a defense that can force turnovers? We have all week to […]
Wild Card Weekend kicked off in the NFL. As always, there was plenty of drama and intrigue. From the storylines, to the Bears’ dramatic come from behind win, to all of the road teams that found success, the first weekend of the playoffs didn’t disappoint. It was a stress free weekend for someone with a […]

The Cardiac Bears. The Comeback Kids. The 2025 Chicago Bears. After a lackluster first half, a different Chicago Bears team stepped onto the field to pull off an improbable 31-27 comeback win over the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round. With this win, not only did the Bears advance to the Divisional Round, […]
Opening Day will be here before you know it! Seventy-three days from now, the Chicago White Sox will play the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field to kick off another season where the Pale Hose are expected to lose 90 or more games. As dour as that sounds, 90 losses actually would be progress considering […]
1911 The White Sox purchased outfielder Matty McIntyre from the Tigers, in what turned out to be a brilliant buy. The 31-year-old was brilliant in right field for the White Sox that summer, slashing .323/.397/.401, with 102 runs, 11 triples, 17 steals and 4.2 WAR. McIntyre slumped enough in 1912 for the White Sox to […]

Whether we think the Chicago Bears were playing with house money or not, it still would have stung losing to the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs. But thankfully, THAT’S NOT SOMETHING WE NEED TO WORRY ABOUT! The Chicago Bears did it again. They came back in the second half to shock the Packers and […]
The Dallas Cowboys remain alone with horrible NFL playoff history. You see, the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night. This is relevant to the Cowboys, one version of them, because New England was the #2 seed on the AFC side of the playoff picture. The Chicago Bears are the NFC’s […]
The Los Angeles Rams are a 4.5-point favorite against the Cinderella Chicago Bears in the Divisional Round, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Chicago, with Caleb Williams under center, has been the comeback king all season long, pulling out the most frustratingly miraculous wins you’ve ever seen. The Rams won a surprising 34-31 thriller over the Panthers in […]
