Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
The rookies finally got their second win in the NFL, and it was a big one. After a potential momentum-turner coming out of the bye, they are right back into it — experiencing their first true short week with Miami just ahead on Thursday. First, let’s look into how this past Sunday went. Malaki Starks […]
Head down to the comments to talk about Tuesday’s game against the Senators! Game Preview
The 2025 NFL trade deadline is officially less than a week away, with 4 pm New York time on November 4 looming just over the horizon. Ahead of the trade deadline the Seattle Seahawks are reportedly set to add a speedy former third round wide receiver. Velus Jones was selected by the Chicago Bears in […]
The most anticipated player activation in the history of the Chicago Bears has finally happened. Earlier today, the home office of Windy City Gridiron received a fax from second-year defensive end Austin Booker that made his intentions crystal clear. Chills. Okay, it may not have happened like that, but the ongoing discourse in our comment […]
Team Consistency Emerging
“We going up, up, up, it’s our moment…” Any father of a kindergarten-aged-or-older kid, especially a girl, knows what that means. (Then again, so do most people who don’t live under a rock.) But as the KPop Demon Hunters find out (spoilers if you haven’t seen it!), the path to that final triumphant moment is […]
In their final night at home before a six-game road trip, the Blackhawks will host the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night at the United Center. It’s a slightly atypical 7:45 p.m. start as part of the NHL’s “Frozen Frenzy,” when all 32 teams will skate in 16 games with start times between 5 and 10 p.m. CT, making for the perfect evening to get well acquainted with your living room seat of choice. While team captain Brady Tkachuk remains sidelined following thumb surgery a few weeks ago that’...

We continue to talk our way thru the Blackhawks’ building process, and the progress we’re starting to see on the NHL ice with younger players beginning to impact the top-level product has started to provide some confidence that the draft-and-develop route the Blackhawks have taken is bearing fruit. But there are still consistent, constant conversations all over Blackhawks nation about how — and with whom — the organization can bolster their roster to go from nice to seriously dangerous. P...

If you’re fed up with the penalty problems plaguing your favorite football team right now, just know that you are not alone and that Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson is right there with you. When discussing the penalty issues on ESPN 1000-AM, this is what the first-year head coach had to say: "We're here as coaches, we're gonna help support these guys & be along with them…but it would go a long way if we just had a little bit more ownership in that locker room to take the bull by...
these wins count even when they "don't count"
The Steelers are evaluating new safety talent following DeShon Elliott’s injury against the Green Bay Packers. Pittsburgh will be working out veteran safeties Eddie Jackson and Vonn Bell today, head coach Mike Tomlin said in his press conference Tuesday. Jackson was a fourth-round pick in 2017 by the Chicago Bears. He was a first-team All-Pro […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. This week, we tackle a thorny problem for the White Sox: Strengthening a weak roster, […]
*looks around cautiously* *motions you to come closer* *looks around once more* *leans in toward your ear* Are the Chicago Bulls … good at basketball? Box Score & Player Grades: Bulls 128, Hawks 123 – October 27, 2025 Let’s be sure to keep things in perspective. Today marks ONE full week into the 2025-26 season. The Chicago Bulls have played only three of 82 games. In other words, it’s more than possible for them to start the year 3-0 and still fin...
All of the good vibes Chicago has been riding have dried up. It happens quickly after a loss. This was a frustrating loss because it should have been a game the Bears were competitive in. If they are going to take the next step as an ascending team, there should be signs of growth. But […]
Staying up to watch 18 innings of World Series baseball was a mistake. And I’d do it again. I think this is just the beginning of us seeing a wave of comparisons between where Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is now and where Lions quarterback Jared Goff was at this time in Year 1 operating in Ben Johnson’s offense: Caleb Williams is near the point on the Jared Goff/Ben Johnson timeline when Goff's production went thru the roof. That isn't realistic for Williams right now based o...
1. It’s mind-boggling how unserious the NFL can be sometimes. Banning reporters from using All-22 film the NFL offers, that they pay for, to help make fans smarter about the game is simply ridiculous. If you’re that worried that people breaking down film publicly will give away trade secrets or that the film will be […]
Twice at The Athletic recently, the Chicago Cubs have been connected to Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai, whose NPB team, the Seibu Lions, are generally expected to post him for MLB teams this offseason. Jim Bowden mentioned the Cubs as a possible fit in his top-50 free agent rankings article, and Sahadev Sharma included Imai among the Cubs’ possible pursuits for this offseason. Here’s what Sharma wrote : “But perhaps the Cubs revisit some trade talks that stalled over the summer — Joe Ry...
The Atlanta Hawks began their first game of a four-game trip with a loss to the Chicago Bulls on Monday night, falling 128-123. Kristaps Porzingis led the Hawks in scoring with 27 points with Trae Young adding 21 points and 17 assists. For the Bulls, Ayo Dosunmo led eight Bulls in double-digit scoring with 21 […]
Vikings fans, brace for chaos: Carson Wentz’s season-ending IR placement thrusts J.J. McCarthy back into the spotlight, potentially reshaping Minnesota’s 2025 campaign. In this gripping episode of The Real Forno Show, hosts Tyler Forness and Dave Stefano dive deep into the fallout, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s draft hits and misses, Kevin O’Connell’s play-calling woes, backup QB options, […]
Matt Shaw was the Cubs’ No. 1 pick in 2023 out of Maryland and raced through the system, making his MLB debut this past March in Tokyo. Unfortunately, Shaw didn’t hit well early in the season. He was batting .172/.294/.241 (10-for-58) in 18 games through April 14 when he was optioned to Triple-A Iowa for […]
Not only did I not make it the full double-length World Series game, but I woke up for the day when the game had only just ended three hours earlier! Any 18-inning game is going to be, by default, a relatively crazy affair, full of close calls, great plays, and dramatic moments. I don’t want to claim that this one will forever be seen as an all-timer, but it certainly had a lot of the hallmarks. Freddie Freeman sure loves hitting particularly dramatic walk-off homers i...
1914 White Sox pitching star, executive and Comiskey-by-marriage Johnny Rigney was born in Oak Park. Rigney had a nondescript couple of years in the minors and 1937 majors debut before the talent-starved Sox thrust him into the starting rotation in 1938. There, he blossomed, with 4.6, 4.5, 6.7 WAR from 1938-40. Only seven pitchers in […]
We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. Now in our eleventh season. Greetings. It’s true, this is the first episode of my eleventh season at the helm of this questionable enterprise, Cub Tracks that is. We generally steer clear of the mainstream but occasionally muddy the waters with our polluted stream of consciousness, […]
