The Bears Are “Hopeful” That Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon Can Come Off IR on Black Friday

While the Chicago Bears made a variety of transactions on Saturday in conjunction with the team’s latest injury issues, cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon remained on injured reserve. However, that they weren’t activated for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers doesn’t mean that the duo’s return isn’t in play. Heck, we could see them back in action on Black Friday when the Bears travel to Philadelphia to face the reigning Super Bowl champs. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler shares op...

A Weird Winning Week, Nikola Vucevic Calls Team “Soft,” A Josh Giddey Making History, and Other Bulls Bullets

The Chicago Bulls just had one of the most frustrating winning weeks I can remember. Beat a Denver Nuggets team that was 10-2 and second in the West. Blow a 21-point lead to the banged-up Trail Blazers in 9 minutes before hitting a game-winning buzzer-beater. Get slapped in the face by the Miami Heat for the zillionth time. Narrowly avoid becoming the Washington Wizards’ second win of the 2025-26 season. Somehow, someway, the Bulls went 3-1 over these four games and sit at 9-7. Nothi...

NFL Week 12 Pre-Gamin’: Bears vs. Steelers — Lineups, Inactives, Updated Playoff Odds, More

NFL WEEK 12: CHICAGO BEARS VS. PITTSBURGH STEELERS — Only Aaron Rodgers Mason Rudolph and the Steelers stand in the way of Chicago’s football team picking up a fourth consecutive win and extending their stay in first place in the NFC North. Seeing Rodgers come to town makes me feel like how I’d imagine Homer Simpson feels when he sees Ned Flanders when he walks out his front door. The Bears would have had a real opportunity to exorcise some demons *AND* improve their standing in the NFC p...

Chicago Bears Inactives: Theo Benedet is OUT For Week 12, Ozzy Trapilo to Start at Left Tackle

The list of Chicago Bears inactives is OUT for the team’s Week 12 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Unfortunately, it includes Bears left tackle Theo Benedet. A starter since the team’s Week 6 game against the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football, Benedet has been a work in progress at left tackle. He has been inconsistent in pass protection, but he has been strong in the run game. Jul 23, 2025; Lake Forest, IL, USA; Chicago Bears guard Theo Benedet (79) and offensive tackle...

Go Wait in the Car: Blackhawks vs. Avalanche Preview

The top team in the NHL standings will be on the ice at the United Center this evening, as the Blackhawks host the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday night. The Avalanche are burying opponents on a nearly nightly basis, with just one regulation loss in their first 21 games (15-1-5). They enter this game on an 8-game winning streak, most recently beating the Nashville Predators 3-0 on the road on Saturday night, which means the possibility of heavy legs for the visitors does exist. Still, this t...

Blackhawks Celebrate the OG American Arena, the Chicago Stadium, in New Docuseries Episode

Sunday night’s game starts the “second chapter” of the Blackhawks’ Centennial celebration. With that, they released the second episode of their Centennial docuseries, titled “The Madhouse.” It celebrates the amazing atmosphere at the Chicago Stadium. Narrated by Eddie Olczyk, they talk about the anthem tradition (with an appearance from Wayne Messmer) and the history of the old barn. They did a great job. This will stir your heart and make your ears ring a little if you were ever fortunat...

Wrigley Field historical sleuthing: 1947 edition, part 2

Last weekend, I presented this aerial photo of Wrigley Field and sleuthed it, with Mike Bojanowski’s help, as being from a doubleheader Friday, July 4, 1947. That appeared to be an important day for photographing the ol’ ballyard, as here is a photo from inside Wrigley Field on that very same day. The photo from […]

Is Rome Odunze Primed For a Week 12 Breakout? Dennis Allen vs. an Old Rival, Cairo Santos Has No Concerns, and Other Bears Bullets

Watching my alma mater, Southern Illinois, go on the road, beat a top-15 team in its building by 30 points (and on Senior Day!) got my juices flowing and ready for today’s Bears game. Selfishly, I hope The Committee puts the Salukis in as an at-large team. Their efforts might fall under the “too little, too late” umbrella, but at least it was fun to witness. Happy Game Day! The Chicago Bears enter Week 12 in sole possession of first place in the NFC North. Who knows how long it will las...

Toughest Test Tonight, Lardis Back on Fire, Prospects in Action, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

Today presents the biggest early test to date for the young Blackhawks’ building process. The Blackhawks were playing well, but collapsed in the third period on Thursday night and never got off the bus on Friday in Buffalo. Two deflating losses in which they were exhausted, undermanned and, on Friday, not competitive for most of the night. How the Blackhawks bounce back from their last four periods will be telling. This is where the veteran teams of the past couple years would struggle to righ...

Wizards Battle But Come Up Short Against the Bulls

The Washington Wizards played well for long stretches, building a 16-point advantage in the first half, and leading for more than 41 of the game’s 48 minutes, and still depart Chicago with their 14th straight loss. This one was both encouraging and disheartening that the Wizards could find a way to lose. The Bulls have […]
