On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Bleed Cubbie Blue is pleased to present a Cubs-centric look at baseball’s colorful past. Here’s a handy Cubs timeline, to help you follow the various narrative paths. “Maybe I called it wrong, but it’s official.” — Tom Connolly, HoF Umpire. Comiskey buys a team, Bobby Bonds, Ryan Freel, and more. RIP Ryan*. Today in baseball […]

THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS By the Numbers: Bears’ OT Win Over Packers ChicagoBears.com breaks down the key stats from Saturday night’s epic comeback, including the team’s franchise-record sixth win this season after trailing in the final two minutes and Chicago’s resilient scoring bursts late and in overtime.

MLB.com | Mark Feinsand: By now you’ve likely heard that NPB superstar Munetaka Murakami signed a two-year, $34 million deal with the White Sox yesterday. It was somewhat of a surprise both in terms of the deal size and the team, although no real rumors had swirled around Murakami in his entire posting process. I […]
The (11-4) Chicago Bears get a cold-weather respite for their next game, but they have to fly out west to do so. On Sunday night, December 28, the Bears will be at Levi’s Stadium to take on the (10-4) San Francisco 49ers. The early weather look-ahead calls for a high of 51 and a low […]
Do you believe in miracles? The Detroit Lions need one for the rest of the season. Entering Week 16, the Lions needed the Green Bay Packers to defeat the Chicago Bears to increase their chances of making the playoffs. The Packers failed their mission, knocking the Lions’ playoff chances down a bit. That meant the […]
The Green Bay Packers could have clinched a playoff spot in Week 16 on their first step toward a Super Bowl win. It was a pretty simple route, too. If the Packers won on Saturday, the Detroit Lions have to lose on Sunday and Green Bay is postseason bound. Green Bat lost, though, so it […]
With the Lions’ loss to the Steelers on Sunday, the Chicago Bears have secured a spot in the 2025-26 NFL playoffs in Ben Johnson’s first season as the team’s head coach. It’s been an entertaining season from start to finish for the Bears, who have turned around from a 5-12 record last season to make […]
The Chicago Bulls were all-offense, no-defense against the Atlanta Hawks in a Sunday matinee.
But that offense was quite stupendous, and Chicago outlasted the home team to win its third straight game at the buzzer, 152-150. This represents the Bulls’ first three-game win streak in 2025-26 since their 5-0 season start.
That 152-point tally represented a season-high for the Bulls, as did the team’s 57.6 percent field goal conversion rate and its 41 assists, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago ...
The Chicago Bears haven’t seen Soldier Field that electric since the 2019 season opener against the Green Bay Packers. And ironically, much like the 2019 game (also against the Packers), the Bears were unable to score touchdowns through three quarters (and most of the fourth). But unlike that game six years ago, there was a […]
After the Green Bay Packers choked away the game against the Chicago Bears on Saturday, Bears receiver DJ Moore, who caught the game-winning touchdown, was given a game ball by head coach Ben Johnson. In the video that the team took of the game ball ceremony in the locker room, Moore was seen dancing around […]
Who knew that one throw could mean so much?
That Caleb Williams overtime touchdown toss to DJ Moore did more than just lead the Bears to a win against the Packers that exorcised some long-standing demons for Chicago football fans who have lived this rivalry. It also helped put Williams in elite company. Chicago’s QB1 became the first quarterback to earn a perfect grade with the toss.
An explanation from Pro Football Focus’ Dalton Wasserman:
REVIEWED AND CONFIRMED!!! Caleb Willia...
Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis was shaken up on a sack to end the second half against the Chicago Bears, when he came into the game after starter Jordan Love left with an injury. On Sunday, head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that Willis is dealing with a shoulder injury (likely to his throwing […]
Things aren’t going well for the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. They’ve been the most disappointing team in the league this season. Their record is now 15-14 after their last five losses have come against teams they have better records than. This includes two straight losses to the Chicago Bulls. Losing comes with consequences. There’s a […]
On a day where I cannot stop watching that game-winning Caleb Williams overtime touchdown throw to DJ Moore , I found my eyes bugging out of my head when I saw that Montez Sweat had the best initial grade from Pro Football Focus after the Chicago Bears’ 22-16 victory against the Green Bay Packers.
And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible.
PFF player grades aren’t the be-all, end-all. But they do serve a purpose in helping contextualize what we just saw. In this case, th...
After a winter filled with pedestrian free agent signings and anticlimactic trades, the White Sox finally jumped in the free agent pool with a cannonball into the deep end. Signing Murakami is no safe move, as there are wildly-varying outcomes, from high-boom to high-bust. On one hand, Murakami’s stats since 2021 have been stacked. He […]
99.1%. That was the chance the Packers had to win with 3:27 left to play against the Bears last night, just after Green Bay had kicked its field goal to make the score 16-6. The war of attrition these two bitter rivals were fighting would soon be over, and the Bears could fall to 0-2 […]

Watching the Chicago Bulls is like riding a roller coaster. Sometimes they’re up; most times, they’re down. However, right now, with three wins in their last four games, the ride is trending upward. The Bulls head to Atlanta for an early afternoon road game against the ninth-seeded Hawks, looking to keep the ride going.
The Atlanta Hawks have not had it easy this season. They made big, aggressive changes in the offseason and came out looking better than they did going in. Pairing Trae You...
Earlier today, Munetaka Murakami, whom the Mets were reportedly interested in signing, inked a two-year, $34 million deal with the White Sox, one day ahead of the deadline to sign the Japanese slugger during his posting window. Following the news, Bob Nightengale reported that the White Sox are interested in moving Luis Robert Jr. and […]
All the biggest news and rumors regarding the Houston Astros and from around MLB – they’re all in here! Its an offseason Crawfish Boil for December 21, 2025. The White Sox get a potential huge bargain on Murakami, whose power is regarded as being off the charts but also could potentially be a high strikeout […]
even more rare, both games in Atlanta
The Chicago Bears did it again. For the sixth time this season, they battled back to win a game, this time coming from 10 down with less than five minutes to play against the Green Bay Packers. In three minutes and four seconds, they went on an 11-play 43-yard drive that ended in a field […]
Happy NFL Sunday, Seattle Seahawks fans! There’s really nothing of consequence on the Sunday slate for the Seahawks as it relates to the NFC’s top seed chase. The San Francisco 49ers don’t play until Monday night, the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers did sort out the NFC North lead and therefore stay alive for […]
Shout out to everyone who came through for the Ivy Hall BN Bears watch party event at Lottie’s. I don’t have much of a voice this morning. Good thing I don’t have to use it right now.
It wasn’t a dream. Caleb Williams made that throw. DJ Moore made that catch. The Iceman came, saw, and conquered in overtime. It was ridiculous. The Chicago Bears won a game that they trailed by a 16-3 score late in the fourth quarter. What a bonkers game. It perfectly captures what life as a Bears fan has...
