Back in Week 1, the Bears let one slip away. They were the better team for most of the afternoon against the Vikings, but they couldn’t land the knockout punch — and quarterback J.J. McCarthy made them pay.
Two months later, the rematch in Minneapolis offers Chicago a chance to show just how far it’s come. The Bears are 6-3, winners of four straight, and finally playing the brand of football Ben Johnson envisioned when he took over. The Vikings, meanwhile, are reeling, with McCarthy strug...

Caleb Williams still remembers how the Bears’ season against the Minnesota Vikings started with a surprise.
Williams expected Brian Flores’ trademark blitz-heavy attack. Instead, the Vikings defensive coordinator flipped the script.
“That’s why they get paid the big bucks over there, too,” Williams said during his weekly media availability on Wednesday at Halas Hall. “You expect them to do something when you’re going into a game plan and into a game. It’s kudos to them for being able...

Many are staring at their win-now roster, wondering how ownership or a new front office management will choose to proceed. Is the plan to continue to build upon Harrison’s shaky post-Luka Doncic plan that centered around Davis and...

Ah, the bad old days.
Last night’s ugly 124-113 loss to the Detroit Pistons felt a lot like the Chicago Bulls of the past few years. Handed an opportunity to snap a losing streak against a heavily depleted opponent, they played easily their worst game of the 2025-26 season. After narrowly taking down the San Antonio Spurs with the same lineup, they played down to the makeshift Pistons rotation and faced a double-digit deficit for essentially the entire game.

No matter what sort of reports emerge on the Cubs’ spending intentions for this offseason, I remain steadfast in a general position I think we all should share: I’ll believe it when I see it.
With that said, I will also continue beating the drum for them to spend more, citing reasons both (1) strategic ( read this one ) and (2) with respect to their market size, revenue opportunities, and relative financial austerity in the recent past ( read this one ). I will also continue sharing and c...

The Chicago Cubs are going to make a lot of moves this offseason. Some bigger. Many smaller. And they’ll come on all sides of the ball, from the positional group to the bench to the bullpen to the rotation. None of this is news.
But Cubs President Jed Hoyer was pretty candid about where he thinks the majority of the offseason work will come, and that’s on the pitching side. From his perspective, it’s not too difficult to look at the depth chart and see where most of the needs lie.

I wouldn’t say Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai is the top starting pitcher on the free agent market this year, necessarily, and I wouldn’t say it’s a lock that the Chicago Cubs pursue him in any case. But I would say that, on paper, the 27-year-old appears to have big-league-caliber stuff, has dominated in Japan to a similar degree that we’ve seen from other starters who’ve come over and had success, and could give the Cubs a different look at the front of their rotation. The Cubs are not unique in ...

Our water heater died a couple weeks ago, so we had to get it replaced. It was incredibly old, so we kinda felt fortunate to have gotten as much run out of it as we did. The new one is working fine – or at least, it was, until this morning when I discovered the ever-expanding pool of water coming from it in our basement. So that’s been a healthy portion of my morning.
