Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
Hello, Chicago Bears Fans! It’s been a long road getting from the complete teardown and rebuild of this team when Ryan Poles became general manager to here, our first NFC North Division championship and a home playoff game against the hated Packers. There have been bumps along the way, including a season that saw the […]
Get ready for either one of the greatest Saturday nights of your Chicago Bears fandom or one of the worst. Wild Card weekend has the Green Bay Packers in the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bears, and the emotions will be high for this one. The rivalry, which has tilted toward the Packers […]
For a moment there, it looked like the Dallas Mavericks might put together a nice little win streak after a rough 4-game skid to end December. But things got ugly late in the 4th against the Utah Jazz – and now Dallas heads into Chicago starting from square one yet again. The Chicago Bulls enter […]

The Bears already had the NFC North crown in hand going into their Week 18 matchup against the Lions. It ended up working out, as they still claimed the No. 2 seed in the NFC as a result of the Eagles’ loss on Sunday, but it was Detroit that ended up on top at Soldier […]
A flu bug is running thru the Blackhawks right now (pun intended), and the roster they’re putting on the ice Friday night against the Washington Capitals is… something. Yes, Connor Bedard has returned from injury. And, yes, Kevin Korchinski was called up from Rockford. But… Nick Foligno, Ilya Mikheyev and Arvid Söderblom weren’t at the morning skate (head coach Jeff Blashill was absent as well). When the Blackhawks came out to warm up, it was Drew Commesso leading the team ...
Head down to the comments to talk about Friday’s game against the Capitals! Game Preview
Nine days ago, as the clock struck midnight, the calendar flipped to 2026. And that means we are officially in the 10-year anniversary of the 2016 Chicago Cubs World Series championship. And because of that, the Cubs have invited as many of the (non-active) 2016 World Series roster back to Chicago for the Cubs Convention . As previously reported, the list of attendees does not include any active players, including Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber, Aroldis Chapman, Willson Contreras, Javier Bae...
I know that Bears playoff tickets are hard to come by, but allow me to help. The Chicago Bears punched their ticket to the postseason as the NFC North champions in December. Soon, they will face their arch rivals, the Green Bay Packers, in a playoff grudgematch after the two teams split the regular-season series with one win apiece. And now, it is time to get some Bears playoff tickets of your own. Bears Playoff Tickets Kickoff for the 2025 Wild Card Weekend game between the Chi...
Folks, I’ve got a mask for mask bet going with a Chicago Bears fan going on already. I know where I stand on this game, but I want to hear from you. Personally, I don’t worry about the Green Bay Packers scoring points in this game. I think the wild card round game will be […]
Ian Cunningham possibly getting a new job (in part) because Ryan Poles has a long-standing relationship with Matt Ryan isn’t something I had on my 2026 bingo card, but it is a storyline that I am watching develop. Yes, the Chicago Bears are one day away from hosting the Green Bay Packers in a playoff game . But these tweets from NFL insiders Dianna Russini and Albert Breer certainly grabbed my attention and reminded me that this league is in constant motion: It’s widely believed arou...
For the first time in our Chicago Bears prop series, we get to do playoff props! The Bears welcome the Packers on Saturday night in what should be an interesting game, and also difficult to gauge exactly how this game will play out this far in advance when we don’t know exactly what the wind […]
MLB’s new media landscape has brought NBC back to baseball broadcasting in 2026, and part of that is taking over the Sunday Night Baseball franchise that’s been carried by ESPN for the last 35 years. Friday, NBC announced their entire Sunday night schedule (and some of these games are afternoon contests, as you will see). […]
There’s a flu bug ripping thru the Blackhawks room right now. Nick Foligno, Ilya Mikheyev and Arvid Söderblom were not at the morning skate on Friday before the Hawks host the Washington Capitals. So, after watching Blackhawks legend Scott Foster take reps at the morning skate, it makes sense that the Blackhawks would need a viable backup if Söderblom can’t go; the Blackhawks have a back-to-back with a trip to Nashville after the game tonight. They then play again on Monday night. Wi...
I would argue that power rankings are of marginal predictive value even in the second half of the MLB season, even if they are nevertheless often too alluring not to check out. I can’t help but wanting to know what national people think of the Chicago Cubs, even if I stand at the ready to dismiss their perspective if I disagree with it (for reasons usually equal parts dispassionate and hopelessly biased). So, then, MLB power rankings in early January, before the offseason is complete, and...
Shoutout to Bill Zimmerman of Windy City Gridiron, who writes for our sister site Windy City Gridiron and covers the Chicago Bears. Zimmerman stopped by this week to help us break down the Green Bay Packers’ wild card round opponent for our 5 Questions series. If you want to read the companion piece to this […]
Here I am, putting together an NBA Mock Draft. And even if I aim for the most realistic version possible, this is a league where, clearly, anything is possible. It’s been a weird week in the NBA. We watched a four-time NBA All-Star, Trae Young, still in his prime, get salary-dumped. We saw Rick Carlisle finally reach 1,000 career wins, a milestone that took nearly a month to secure because his team dropped thirteen straight games along the way. And somehow, we even saw an indoor basketbal...

NFL script-writers brought their A-game throughout what might have been the weirdest year in league history. But a Bears-Packers playoff snow game would take it to another level. Sure, it might be wild to imagine Saturday’s game between Chicago and Green Bay with a dusting of snow when it is currently sunny and 43 degrees as I begin typing out this post. However, it appears as if the forecast is going to take a change of direction and perhaps cause a cinematic change of events. ...
It’s Friday night in Chicago and the Blackhawks are wearing black. Love to see it! The Washington Capitals are in town for a game between two teams that played just six days ago. When the two teams played last weekend, the Blackhawks didn’t have Connor Bedard in the lineup. That will NOT be the case tonight ! After the Bulls’ game was postponed because of humidity issues last night, there were some concerns about the ice surface. The folks at the United Center are some of the best at what...
The Blackhawks look to continue their unbeaten start to 2026 on Friday night at the United Center against the Washington Capitals. Let’s start with the home team this evening because there’s important news to share: Connor Bedard says he’s ready to go. — Scott Powers ( @scottpowers.bsky.social ) January 9, 2026 at 10:55 AM While Bedard is back — and he was practicing with the top power-play unit, as one would expect — several other players (along with coach Jeff Blashill) ...
I think we should all take a moment to congratulate Caleb Williams for setting the all-time Bears passing yardage record in 2026 with 3942 yards. Did he manage to get to 4000 yards? Well, no, what did I just say. Did he require an extra game to take down previous record holder Erik Kramer, who […]
On Thursday night, the 17-20 Chicago Bulls were looking to stave off a four-game losing skid with a home clash against the similarly semi-mediocre 20-17 Miami Heat. Instead, a two-hour delay due to melting ice beneath the hardwood eventually spiraled into a decision from the two teams and the NBA to postpone the action to another day altogether. It was a strange broadcast to behold (more on that later). But at least the undermanned Bulls, who would have been playing on the second nig...
It’s playoff time, baby! The Chicago Bears have their first home playoff game in 7 years, and lo and behold, the Green Bay Packers happen to be the team that falls to the Bears’ opponent on the bracket. It’s only the third time the Bears and Packers will meet in the postseason, and they are […]
