Episode 37 of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast is officially live!

Likewise, we get into the extreme bullpen turnover ahead of us, and what that migth mean for the Cubs pursuits this winter.
After the break, in our transaction corner, we focus our at...

An updated Chicago Bears injury report ahead of the team’s upcoming Week 10 game against the New York Giants is OUT.
And, in what I would call a pleasant surprise, a whole bunch of injured Bears players were given upgrades. Here is a quick rundown:
Running back D’Andre Swift (groin) went from being a limited participant on Wednesday to being a full go on Thursday. Swift was a DNP in all three practices in last week’s Bears injury report, then missed the team’s Week 9 win against th...

Chicago is starting to find its offensive identity behind Caleb Williams, but several big questions linger as the schedule tightens. Will Kyle Monangai’s breakout moments will lead to a bigger workload? What does Rome Odunze’s recent dip in production really mean?
Defensively, the Bears are coming off one of their roughest w...

Do you think Billy Donovan keeps checking the Eastern Conference standings just to make sure it’s real? I know I do!
The Chicago Bulls have started the season 5-0 at home! While I am not as obsessed with “home court advantage” as Arturas Karnisovas, I think we can all agree that you’re supposed to play better in your own building. For whatever reason, the Bulls have been awful at that over the past few years. They have finished below .500 at the United Center in each of the last two sea...

Sunday’s matchup with the New York Giants seems like a winnable game for the Chicago Bears at home in front of the Soldier Field crowd. The Giants are 2-5 on the season, 0-5 on the road, and the Bears are four and a half point favorites.
Still, quarterback Caleb Williams says Chicago won’t be looking past the Giants on Sunday, speaking at his weekly press conference, that there’s no “slouch game” in this league.

We’ve already talked a good amount here about the marvelous start to the season the Blackhawks have enjoyed from goaltender Spencer Knight .
Knight, 24, has started 10 of the Blackhawks’ first 14 games. Among goalies who have appeared in at least 5 games this season, Knight ranks fourth in save percentage (.919) and 11th in goals against average (2.56). Of course, GAA is a function of the number of shots he’s facing. And we don’t need to look much further than Wednesday night’s win to see...

Have a week, Colston Loveland.
Hours after it was announced that the Chicago Bears rookie tight end was named the NFC’s Offensive Player of the Week , Loveland was given the NVP award.
No franchise has a richer history when it comes to the coveted NVP award than the Bears. Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky won it in January 2021 for his efforts in what is still the Bears’ most recent playoff appearance. But now, Loveland can also claim the honor of winning the NVP award as a member of Ch...
