Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
Who is already missing baseball and counting down the days? Well, warm, sunny afternoons are already on the horizon as the Chicago White Sox just dropped their 2026 Spring Training slate. It all kicks off on Thursday, February 20, as the South Siders take on the North Siders in Mesa, Arizona. The Good Guys will […]
Things are not working out for Steven Stamkos as a Nashville Predator. Like Seth Jones with the Chicago Blackhawks, it's starting to feel like the team is going to ask him to waive his no-movement clause, eat some salary in the deal, and move on. Stamkos has not been the same player as a Predator as he was in Tampa Bay. His shot totals are down, his goal totals are down, and last night, he finally scored his second goal of the season. It certainly feels like teams are starting to call GM Barry...
A banged up Chicago Bears defense will reportedly get a visit from cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. next week. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has the scoop: Asante Samuel Jr. has a packed free agency visit schedule, per source: Panthers today, Packers on Thursday, Vikings on Friday, 49ers on Monday, Bears on Tuesday, Steelers on Wednesday https://t.co/1WrO3XRjPg — Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) November 5, 2025 Who is Asante Samuel Jr. and is he a fit for the Chicago Bears? Asante Sa...
Chicago’s dynamic rookie duo made history on Sunday in the Chicago Bears’ 47- 42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, and earlier today, each received some well-deserved hardware for their performances. Tight end Colston Loveland was selected as the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after his career-high six receptions, 118 yards, and two touchdowns, including the 58-yard, […]
As the Chicago Bears prepare for the ninth game of the season against the New York Giants on Sunday, we are starting to get the first official team injury reports for week 10. Once again, the Bears had a sizable list of players who were listed as DNP (did not practice) on the first report […]
Take this only as a for-what-it’s-worth from The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, because I don’t hear this as him “reporting” something. But Rosenthal believes that the Cubs declining Shōta Imanaga’s three-year, $57 million option, and then Shōta Imanaga declining his own two-year, $30 million option, were just precursors to the Qualifying Offer. Which Rosenthal believes the Cubs will make, and Imanaga will accept: The Cubs decision to decline Shota Imanaga's option feels like a checkmate ...
The first Chicago Bears injury report of Week 10 brings some encouraging news regarding running back D’Andre Swift. Swift was a limited participant in Wedneday’s practice. This comes after Swift did not practice in any capacity at all last week before being ruled out for the team’s Week 9 win against the Cincinnati Bengals after the week’s final practice. Before missing the 47-42 thriller in Cincy, Swift was on a roll with 100-yard games against the Washington Commanders and New Orleans S...
EDITOR’S NOTE: A version of this article originally ran on the 60th anniversary of this game, in 2023. I’m reposting it, lightly edited, as part of the walkoff wins series. 1963 was a watershed year for the Chicago Cubs. The widely-mocked College of Coaches was quietly ended. Bob Kennedy led the team for the entire […]
The Blackhawks will continue their search for the first win of their lengthy road trip in British Columbia on Wednesday night when they face the Vancouver Canucks. It’s the first repeat opponent of the season for the Hawks, as these two teams met a few weeks ago in Chicago and the visitors skated away with both points following a 3-2 shootout defeat for the home side . The Hawks had a 2-0 lead in that game after one period that was gone by the second intermission, part of a season-long tr...
Thanks to the needs in the rotation, the bigger names at play there, and the nature of Chicago Cubs bullpen construction (read: less sexy), I have neglected to lay out explicitly the bullpen situation for the Cubs entering this offseason. Now that Andrew Kittredge has been sent back to the Orioles , the following Cubs relievers who threw 20+ innings in 2025 are still under team control: Daniel Palencia Porter Hodge End of list. It’s one thing to say that the Cubs always fin...
The dust has settled on the 2025 NFL trade deadline, and the Chicago Bears made one move, trading for defensive end Joe Tyron-Shoyinka—a move that sent a sixth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns, with Tyron-Shoyinka and a seventh-round selection coming to Chicago. You might not know much about the Bears’ newest pass rusher, but Ryan Poles told the local media today that he and the coaching staff liked Tyron-Shoyinka’s tape in Tampa Bay, where he spent the first four years of his career af...
Luis Robert Jr., you are still a South SiderThe White Sox are officially rolling the dice by exercising the $20 million club option on Luis Robert Jr. for the 2026 season. The team chose this over a $2 million buyout despite his struggles and an injury history that has seen him play in only 210 […]
The 2025 MLB season just ended with a great World Series Game 7 last Saturday. Now it’s time to talk spring! As of the date of this post, we are just 107 days away from the Cubs’ Spring Training opener against the White Sox. Included in the 18-game Sloan Park home schedule is an exhibition […]
OK, so the Chicago Bears didn’t make a big splashy move at the NFL Trade Deadline. But at least they still have Ben Johnson as their head coach. Don’t look now, but the Bears have one of the hottest offenses running as we enter Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season. Overall, it has been the most explosive in the league to this point. And it has me so thankful that Ben Johnson chose to coach the Bears instead of taking his talents elsewhere: the Bears offense ranks since week 3: Sack ra...
Fun Fact: The Chicago Bulls’ 24-point comeback win over the Philadelphia 76ers is the franchise’s largest since February 17, 2021, when they erased a 25-point deficit against the Detroit Pistons. Even Funner Fact: The Chicago Bulls are 7-1 and sit alone at the top of the Eastern Conference. The first of last night’s game was a good old-fashioned beatdown. They looked downright stunned by Philadelphia’s aggressiveness in transition and on the glass. They also had zero answers for Ty...
When the book closed on the 2025 regular season, the Chicago Cubs had launched an impressive 223 home runs, 6th most in MLB (3rd most in the NL). That was 53 homers more than they hit in 2024, 27 more than they hit in 2023, and 64(!) more than they hit in 2022. 2025 MLB Team Home Run Leaders Yankees: 274 HRs Dodgers: 244 HRs Mariners: 238 HRs Angels: 226 HRs Mets: 224 HRs Cubs: 223 HRs Athletics: 219 HRs (Mickey Mouse ballpark) D-Backs: 214 HRs ...
Rookie tight end Colston Loveland has been all the buzz in Chicago since his breakout performance against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, which included a dramatic 58-yard game-winning touchdown catch and run.

Loveland caught six passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday in a thrilling 47-42 win for the Bears in Cincinnati. . @colstonlovelan1 has arrived ‼️ pic.twitter...

So the Chicago Bears didn’t make a splashy, high-priced addition at the 2025 NFL Trade Deadline. The Bears still have Ben Johnson as their head coach. And even with a 5-3 start under their belt, you do not have to work hard to make an argument that the best is still yet to come for this team. Even still … the first eight weeks are the most fun I’ve had watching this team in a while. Admittedly, much of that is rooted in the head coach’s innovative play-calling and the execution of an offe...
