Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
The Steelers and Bears meet on Sunday, and each team has a lengthy list of injuries and game statuses following Friday’s practice. Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, as expected, is questionable entering the weekend. He suffered a slight wrist break against the Bengals in Week 11 and was a limited participant in Thursday and Friday’s practices. […]
Head down to the comments to talk about Friday’s game against the Sabres! Game Preview
The bad man returns. Aaron Rodgers gets one more shot at the Chicago Bears since leaving the Green Bay Packers. Rodgers might not be at the height of his powers, but he’s still an effective quarterback. The Pittsburgh Steelers are in first place in the AFC North and have their own playoff aspirations. For Chicago, […]
Today was the deadline to tender contracts to all arbitration-eligible players. The Cubs had just four such players for 2026: Justin Steele, Javier Assad, Eli Morgan and Reese McGuire. Three of those players will be offered 2026 contracts. One will not: Reese McGuire came along at exactly the right time for the 2025 Cubs. He […]

Tre Jones received one of the NBA’s highest in-season honors on Friday. The league officially announced that the Chicago Bulls’ guard is the NBA Cares Bob Lanier Community Assist Award Winner for the month of October. Jones now joins a long list of recent Bulls who have received the acknowledgement for their above-and-beyond effort put into the Chicago community. Ayo Dosunmu , DeMar DeRozan , Alex Caruso have each been given the award over the last few seasons. Jones will be recogniz...
The final Chicago Bears’ injury report of the week is out, and it’s not good. At first glance, the question is, who is going to play linebacker on Sunday, with all three starting linebackers ruled out with varying injuries ? T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring) missed all three practices this week and has been ruled out once again, marking the third straight game he’s missed. Tremaine Edmunds (groin) missed practice all week and will also miss Chicago’s Week 12 matchup against the Steelers. Noah...
The Blackhawks hopped on a plane after losing to the Kraken last night and headed to Buffalo, where they’ll play the one road game in a stretch of eight of nine at the United Center. The Sabres will be waiting for them with hopes of getting right; they’re 2-5-1 in their last eight games and gave up six goals to the Flames on Wednesday night (yikes!). The second half of a back-to-back with travel in the middle is always tough. With André Burakovsky not available, and the Blackhawks not hav...
The Cubs were being rebuilt by new President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein in 2012, and the results on the field showed it. They finished 61-101, their first 100-loss season since 1966. One of the bright spots was Bryan LaHair, who began the year as the team’s first baseman. He hit well enough in the […]
Following two consecutive home wins for the Miami Heat, they are now heading back on the road— starting with a Friday night Emirates NBA Cup matchup versus the Chicago Bulls. Outside of placement in the NBA Cup standings, this is a crucial game for both teams. The Heat are currently the fifth seed in the […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat to play NBA Cup matchup in Chicago versus the Bulls appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
A fortuitous back-to-back arrives on the schedule for the Hawks this week, giving the team a chance to quickly dispense of the unpleasantries from Thursday night when it ventures to Buffalo to face the Sabres on Friday. Buffalo hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2011 and doesn’t appear any closer to bucking that trend this season because it currently sits 29th in the league standings roughly one-quarter of the way through this season. The Sabres don’t do much of anything well: they’re 24th...
A marathon week for the Chicago Bulls continues tonight with the beginning of another back-to-back set.

Do you remember those Seiya Suzuki trade rumors last offseason? I don’t blame you if you’ve blocked them out. They were odd and eventually fizzled out (once Cody Bellinger was dealt), but not before being addressed directly by Suzuki’s agent, Joel Wolfe, who flat out confirmed that Cubs President Jed Hoyer approached him about the possibility: “Jed has been very communicative about it,” Wolfe said via Jordan Bastian at Cubs.com . “He told me what teams they’ve been talking to. I don’t think he...
I hope you are noticing how awesome Joe Thuney is playing right now. The Chicago Bears starting left guard has arguably been the team’s best and most consistent player. WIth that being said, I understand how easy it can be for that to slip through the cracks because excellent left guard play doesn’t show up in highlight reels and doesn’t make for viral contenet. However, Joe Thuney’s superlative play at left guard has allowed for others to have those sizzling moments. And we shouldn’t los...
It is so much easier to look forward to weekends when the Bears are close to the playoffs than they are the first pick up the upcoming NFL Draft. Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson has made it clear that respect is earned, not given. And while there are still people who aren’t buying Chicago’s 7-3 start, it is notable that some notable national voices are taking notice of what the Bears are doing. For instance, take ESPN’s Adam Schefter and this snippet from his recent podcast episode: ...
The Pittsburgh Steelers will travel to Chicago to face the Bears in Week 12, hoping to improve to 7-4 on the season. It is unknown at the time of writing if Aaron Rodgers will be under center, but he did participate in practice on Thursday. If he can’t go, it will be Mason Rudolph under […]
The Blackhawks took to social media on Friday morning to announced that the all-black home uniforms from the 1990s and 2000s are returning this season for select games at the United Center: The Most Requested Jersey In Blackhawks History Returns.

Heads up! Amazon has kicked off its Black Friday Deals Week , so if you’re planning to do some shopping, make sure you peruse to see if there are any big discounts. #ad A reminder that the tender deadline for arbitration-eligible players is 7pm CT tonight. The decisions are relatively straightforward for the Cubs ( Steele and Assad obviously, Morgan probably, and McGuire almost certainly not ), but around baseball, we will see the free agent pool add some interesting names. We could als...
This week’s Steelers and Bears game features a matchup of surprising first-place teams. If you had polled around the NFL media and fanbases this summer, you likely wouldn’t have heard many predictions that Pittsburgh would be in first place this late in the season, and you’d have likely heard even less support for the Bears. […]
The first-place Chicago Bears take on the first-place Pittsburgh Steelers is not a sentence I thought I’d be writing back when the schedule was announced. Neither team is favored to be still leading the division at season’s end, but the winner of this game will see their playoff probability shoot up. The (7-3) Bears have […]
