Happy Victory Monday, Caleb’s Cold Celly, Thuney’s Words to the Wise, and Other Bears Bullets

The night-and-day difference in waking up on a Bears Victory Monday and a Monday that isn’t followed by a Bears win is jarring. I care not that the thorough victory came at the expense of the Browns. The Packers didn’t beat the Browns this year, so I don’t want to hear a peep from any cheesedoodles about “oh, it was just the Browns.” Cram it, nerds. I have no time for your nonsense. The Bears beat a bad Browns team in a way that good teams are supposed to beat bad ones. I spent the week...

Which free agents or trade targets should be featured here?

As you know, I have posted a series of articles here on players who could be free agent or trade targets for the Cubs this offseason. As a refresher, here are links to all those articles (except for two players who have already signed elsewhere). Dec. 5: Luis Severino (trade) Dec. 4: Edward Cabrera (trade) […]

Nazar’s Time, Nestrašil’s Path, Pridham’s Good Week, Behm, a Hogs Trade, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

Head coach Jeff Blashill has spoken about Frank Nazar playing well and staying committed to the process… but the Blackhawks need Nazar to find the back of the net again. Since Nazar returned from his injury on Nov. 15, he is tied with Ryan Greene for third among Blackhawks forwards in shot attempts at 5-on-5 (43) and ranks fifth o the roster in individual scoring chances (23). He has an individual expected goals of 1.88, which ranks sixth on the Blackhawks at even strength. Nazar’s six 5-...

What about Luis Robert, Jr.? Yay or nay?

According to a recent report by Ken Rosenthal, the Phillies are back interested in acquiring Luis Robert, Jr. from the White Sox. This makes some sense as the team continues to look for ways to upgrade their outfield. Center field is still probably the most glaring weakness the team has, probably a bit less son […]

3 biggest issues for the Browns in their loss to the Bears

The Cleveland Browns had a tough showing against the Chicago Bears with a 31-3 loss, bringing the Browns to 3-11 on the season. Some of the same issues that Cleveland has been dealing with all season showed up in this loss, but there were a few key areas that contributed greatly to their defeat. Turnovers […]

The White Sox have cornered the market … on minor moves

The Chicago White Sox keep combing the waiver wire and picking through the free agent scrap heap to fill out next season’s roster — and there’s no end in sight. The biggest free agent signing so far has been starting pitcher Anthony Kay. He had to go to Japan any hope of reviving a big-league […]

Today in White Sox History: December 15

1960 White Sox owner Bill Veeck made up for some of his bad deals after the 1959 season by pilfering pitchers Juan Pizarro and Cal McLish from the Reds for infielder Gene Freese. Manager Al Lopez and pitching coach Ray Berres had their eyes on Pizarro for a few years, but Milwaukee refused to deal him to the Sox. Veeck craftily got his friend Bill DeWitt of Cincinnati to […]

Luther Burden’s career day interrupted by injury

Welcome to the Morning Commute For the past few weeks, Chicago Bears’ fans have been crying out to see more from Luther Burden III. The rookie receiver and former Mizzou star has been mostly kept on a tight leash by Chicago coach Ben Johnson, though not without letting spurts of action. However, Burden’s opportunity to […]

Micah Parsons Suffered a Serious Injury in Packers Loss to Broncos

Even with the Bears rivalry with the Packers being what it is, I hate seeing injuries like the one star pass rusher Micah Parson appears to have suffered in Green Bay’s game against the Denver Broncos. ESPN’s Adam Schefter has a report on what is believed to be an ACL tear for Micah Parsons: The initial belief is that Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons suffered a torn ACL today, as @ProFootballTalk reported. There will be further testing to see if that is the case. pic.twitter.com/YmL...

Browns: Winners, losers from Week 15 vs. the Bears

Blues singer Robert Johnson famously sang about his “Sweet Home Chicago,” but it would be understandable if the Cleveland Browns do not share that feeling. On Sunday against the Chicago Bears, the Browns continued their 56-year run of futility in the Windy City by dropping a 31-3 decision that was never, for even a moment, […]

Bears 31, Browns 3: We Deserved a Win Like That

Trap game. Must-win game. Rome Odunze ruled out just before kickoff game. Myles Garrett’s potential NFL sack record game. Freezing-cold home game against a 3-10 Browns team led by Shedeur Sanders. Whatever. None of it mattered. With a little help from two perfectly timed interceptions, the Chicago Bears dominated the Cleveland Browns today at Soldier Field. And after weeks of nail-biting, last-minute decisions, that win was a thing of (relaxing) beauty. We deserved that. FINAL: Chica...

Vikings Officially Eliminated from Playoff Contention

Going into the early slate of Week 15 action, the Minnesota Vikings had a very, very narrow road to the 2025 postseason. That road is now, officially, closed. With the Chicago Bears’ 31-3 demolition of the Cleveland Browns in the early slate this afternoon, the Vikings have officially been eliminated from playoff contention. The only […]

He commanded the offense, was efficient in throwing the ball, and felt in control the whole way. His secon...

WATCH: D’Andre Swift Scores Again!

On the one hand, I know that a 28-3 lead isn’t ever safe. But on the other hand, I don’t think Tom Brady is walking through that door. This is the D’Andre Swift touchdown that gave the Bears a 25-point lead: pic.twitter.com/WjSoAOQURs https://t.co/0W4a4OPTec — Bleacher Nation Bears (@BN_Bears) December 14, 2025 There is much to discuss from this game. But the highlights keep rolling in. So I won’t complain about that.
