The Chicago Bulls blinked and found themselves down 20. Philadelphia looked like they were moving at the speed of light to start Tuesday night’s battle between the East’s two teams. In the first 3 minutes, four of their five starters had scored. They also had three triples on the board already, which propelled them to a double-digit lead less than halfway through the opening frame. As he’s been against teams all season long, Tyrese Maxey was an immediate problem. The Bulls didn’t hav...

2025-2026 Sixers Bell Ringer Season Standings: Tyrese Maxey – 3 Adem Bona – 1 VJ Edgecombe – 1 Quentin Grimes – 1 Kelly Oubre Jr. – 1 The Sixers traveled to the Windy City on Tuesday night for an Eastern Conference clash vs. the Chicago Bulls at the United Center. The Sixers came into this […]
The Chicago Bears are finding ways to win games that they’ve lost so many times in the past. I feel like I keep typing that, but it’s worth mentioning because it’s a testament to Ben Johnson and the leadership he is instilling in this team. The players have bought in, there isn’t a game they […]
Taking every game down to the wire, you’re going to get burned at some point. In a battle between the current two top teams in the Eastern Conference, the Sixers built a 24-point lead but collapsed in the second half in a 113-111 loss to the Bulls in Chicago Tuesday night. Tyrese Maxey had another […]
It wasn’t the splash some wanted, but the Chicago Bears were active on the NFL’s trade deadline day when they sent a 2026 sixth-round draft pick to the Cleveland Browns for defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a 2026 seventh-rounder. The seventh-round pick the Bears acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles was coming back. To make room […]
The Chicago Bulls will have to wait even longer to bring Coby White back into the fold. While the organization remained optimistic that White would join the team by the start of the regular season, that optimism quickly waned. White was never able to make it on the court for the preseason, and this resulted in the Bulls eventually ruling White out for multiple weeks. The initial announcement was that White would continue to rehab his calf injury – which was first suffered in August –...

The 2025 NFL Trade Deadline came and went with the Chicago Bears making only one move. A trade with the Cleveland Browns for defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka was the lone deal cut by Bears General Manager Ryan Poles on deadline day. So if Chicago’s front office wants to make another deal, it will need to do so via a waiver claim or free-agent addition. And perhaps one of those moves is on the horizon, as Brad Biggs reports ( via Twitter/X ) that the Bears had four running backs in for try...
The Chicago Bears are making the wise choice. After winning an epic game against the Cincinnati Bengals, some may call it a ridiculous game, but it was a great victory nevertheless. What did that win over the Bengals tell us? First of all, it told us the Bears should be flirting with a playoff spot. […]
The dust has settled on the 2025 NFL Trade Deadline, and Chicago Bears General Manager Ryan Poles finished the day making just one (1) trade. In case you missed it, Chicago’s deal with the Cleveland Browns for Joe Tryon-Shoyinka is the only trade the Bears were able to push through at the NFL Trade Deadline. That’s it. No Jermaine Johnson II, Breece Hall, Bradley Chubb, Trey Hendrickson, or anyone else whose name was floated on the rumor mill. Just Joe Tryon-Shoyinka. There were mult...
This morning, Shota Imanaga became a free agent when both the team (3-years, $57M and a no-trade clause) and the player (1-year, $15M) rejected their contractual options. And although there’s still a chance Imanaga could return to the Cubs in 2025 by way of the $22M qualifying offer or a new free agent deal altogether, it sounds like both sides are getting ready to move on. Or, at least, the posturing has begun. Shota Imanaga, the Cubs, and Free Agency For the Cubs, that looks and so...
The Chicago Bulls are sure hoping that Ayo Dosunmu gets the green light tonight. After exceeding expectations with a strong 5-0 start, the Bulls suffered their first loss of the season at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. Falling on the road to a Knicks team that is fresh off an Eastern Conference Finals appearance isn’t reason enough for this young and frisky group to hang their heads. Believe it or not, they weren’t going to go 82-0. With that said, a loss is a loss. The Bulls now h...
Though right-hander Keegan Thompson spent the entirety of the 2025 season at the AAA level within the Chicago Cubs organization, the Cincinnati Reds signed him to a major league deal earlier on Tuesday. Thompson, 30, does have ample big league experience, however. A former 33rd round pick of the Detroit Tigers and later a 3rd […]
Yu Darvish wasn’t a Chicago Cubs pitcher for too long, but I enjoyed it so much that I’ll always think of him as a Cub. Which, in turn, means today’s news really, really bums me out: San Diego Padres starter Yu Darvish will miss the 2026 season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon and an internal brace in his elbow. https://t.co/Z6cRdogoYh — Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) November 4, 2025 There are two over-arching reactions here to the news: 1.) This ...
The offseason is just days old and Mike Elias has just done the first real notable move to the Orioles roster. The team announced on Tuesday afternoon that they have acquired reliever Andrew Kittredge from the Cubs. That would be the same Kittredge the Orioles traded to the Cubs in July. In July, Kittredge cost […]
The Chicago Bulls will continue their toughest stretch yet when they welcome the Philadelphia 76ers into the United Center on Tuesday night. Suffering their first loss of the season to the New York Knicks on Sunday, the Bulls are hoping to avoid their first losing streak of the year against a fellow 5-1 team. Even if they are able to accomplish just that, however, dodging a losing streak could prove just as difficult over the next handful of games. The Bulls will hit the road for two stra...
The Cubs acquired Andrew Kittredge from the Orioles at last July’s trade deadline for minor leaguer Wilfri De La Cruz, who has yet to play in North America (he was with the Cubs’ Dominican Summer League team). Kittredge played well for the Cubs in his two months on the North Side, posting a 3.32 ERA […]
The Bears have acquired edge rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka in a trade with the Browns on Tuesday, Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports reported. The move will see Chicago send Cleveland a 2026 sixth-round pick, while the Browns will send a 2026 seventh-round pick along with Tryon-Shoyinka in the deal to the Bears. With the 2025 NFL […]
Gabby Hartnett’s famous “Homer In The Gloamin’” is not just the most famous walkoff home run in Cubs history — maybe the most famous Cubs homer, period — it’s one of the top walkoff home runs in all of MLB history, at least in a regular-season game. The BilL Mazeroski homer that won the 1960 […]
The NFL trade deadline is off and running with some big trades, including CB Sauce Gardner going from the New York Jets to the Indianapolis Colts. Shortly after the Gardner move, Cleveland announced that they’ve traded DE Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a 7th-round pick to the Chicago Bears for a 2026 6th-round pick. Despite playing fairly […]
The Chicago Bears are bringing in a new defensive lineman into the mix. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Joe Tryon-Shoyinka is heading from the Cleveland Browns to the Chicago Bears in a trade that also includes a swap of late-round picks. Another trade: Browns are sending DE Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a seventh-round pick to the Chicago Bears in exchange for a sixth-round pick, per sources. Chicago lost DE Dayo Odeyingbo to a season-ending Achilles injury on Sunday, and now trade for a pote...
