Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
The Celtics roll into Chicago looking to extend a winning rhythm, but the Bulls are in a groove as well. Boston had to dig deep last night, and they’ll have to again on the second half of a back-to-back. Fatigue may be a factor, but the Celtics have a key contributor returning. Here are three […]
https://twitter.com/chicagobulls/status/2015145075513163968 Former three-time All-Star Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose , whose MVP prime was cruelly cut down by a series of knee injuries, will get his annual United Center tribute on Saturday night, after a Bulls home clash against the Boston Celtics. This time, his No. 1 jersey is being hung in the rafters, alongside Michael Jordan ‘s No. 33, Scottie Pippen ‘s No. 23, Bob Love’s No. 10, and Jerry Sloan’s No. 4. It’s set to be...

Frustrated All-Stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant have been the subject of trade chatter all year. Now, they’re both going to be hurt through this season’s impending Feb. 5 trade deadline. So how will their new injuries affect the NBA at large — and our Chicago Bulls in particular — with trade season in full swing? Antetokounmpo, a 10-time All-Star power forward, appears to be trapped on a doomed 18-26 Milwaukee Bucks roster that lacks control over most of its future draft picks an...
The NBA rumor mill is running on overtime, but any real transactions are still waiting to be called into the league office. Chicago Bulls vets Coby White , Nikola Vučević , Zach Collins , and Kevin Huerter have all been prime candidates to be moved ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline, yet with less than two weeks to go, even the faintest whispers are starting to feel more like wishful thinking than certainty. A wave of recent reports has centered around Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu , and Tre Jo...
The Celtics could be without Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta when they face the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night. Brown (left hamstring tightness) and Queta (non-COVID illness) are both probable. Brown strained his hamstring in the preseason and has been dealing with some tightness in that hamstring over the past week, which he said affected […]
The Eagles requested an interview on Thursday with Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle for the same role, a request that Chicago granted. Doyle, 29, was hired by the Bears last offseason as the youngest offensive coordinator in the NFL. Though he didn’t call plays — that duty went to head coach Ben Johnson — he […]
Day 6 of the Chicago Bears offseason. The Chicago sports media landscape lost a legend on Friday with the passing of Terry Boers. A former Chicago Sun-Times columnist, Boers might be best known for being one of the most influential people in the history of this city’s sports radio scene. His shows with Dan Bernstein (and earlier, Dan McNeil) were game-changers. Those shows launched the careers of producers, radio hosts, execs, and other folks in this industry. They also opened a path for sport...
Here’s another photo sent to me by BCB reader Joe Coney. I sleuthed one of his scoreboard photos last weekend and this is another one. So, what do we know about this photo? The Cubs are playing the Giants. Again, as in the last photo, it has to be between 1978 and 1981, because the […]
Following the Chicago Bears’ first playoff win in 15 seasons, the season ended in heartbreak with a 20-17 loss at home to the Los Angeles Rams. Although the season didn’t end the way fans were hoping for, there’s plenty of reason for optimism moving forward into the upcoming offseason. For starters, the Bears’ core players […]
“With the first pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls select… “ Derrick Rose. One. A one percent chance for the Chicago Bulls to draft number one in the 2008 NBA Draft. One player mocked in the first round who was born in Chicago. One —the number he wore on the back of his jersey for the Bulls. One player to win the NBA Most Valuable Player award at the age of 22 or younger. And one —the number that will forever be retired by the Chicago Bulls for Der...
Ryan Greene dusted off his best Chris Robinson impression last night after scoring the Blackhawks’ only goal before the skills competition decided a 2-1 loss to the Lightning. “I think we’re a tough team to handle, and we’re just trying to keep that going moving forward.” He’s right — to an extent. What we’ve seen at time this season is the Blackhawks can be a really hard to to play against. They’re fast. They’re smart. And they’re developing chemistry. But they’re also still you...
1939 It was the early years of the Hall of Fame, so voting results could still tend to be pretty weird. Case in point, Eddie Collins was voted into the Hall of Fame — on his fourth try. Collins, by his 124.4 WAR the best second baseman in baseball history, had fallen 110 votes short […]
Derrick Rose ‘s iconic No. 1 jersey will be hung in the rafters of the United Center on Saturday night following their game against the Boston Celtics. The current team has won three in a row and are back at .500, but the packed house tonight will have more than a regular season game on their agenda. Rose’s emergence as a budding young superstar, prior to a cruel intervention from fate, helped reinvigorate his hometown Bulls during an exciting era. Along with fellow Chicago All-Stars Jimm...
As we inch closer to the end of January, the excitement builds for NHL players to return to the Olympics. But, for fans of teams that don’t have any/many players headed to Italy for the Games, it’s also a fun time to start talking about two other subjects: the trade deadline, and breaking down mock drafts. I’ve been writing mock drafts throughout the season ( my most recent ), so don’t worry about my specific picks. We’ll have a fresh on in the coming days (and more during the Olympic bre...
Welcome to the weekend. We can expect some winnowing around the edges, but it looks like the personnel are settled, more or less. I have some concerns about the handedness of the bench but it’ll work out. Or it won’t. Ability counts more, really. But I like balance. Apparently I’m not alone. I understand that […]
Chicago White SoxSeranthony DomínguezThat’s the news, baby Today on the site, Josh will argue that the Yankees shouldn’t be too comfortable in handing over the leadoff spot to Trent Grisham and should instead seriously consider Ben Rice. Matt will offer up a 68th birthday tribute to former Yankees/Mets reliever Neil Allen, and for our 50 […]
The Chicago Blackhawks were under siege most of the night but pushed the Tampa Bay Lightning to the shootout and ultimately fell 2–1 on Friday night, picking up their third point out of a possible four on a back-to-back weekend. The Blackhawks opened the scoring with 2:18 left in the first period on the power play. A quick pass from Oliver Moore along the left-wing boards and a subtle touch pass by Nick Lardis sent Ryan Greene skating into the slot, where he snapped a wrister into the net...

This is the 2nd of 3 games between these two teams this season. The Celtics won the first game 115-101 in Boston on January 5. The...
There weren’t many who expected this game to be as close as it was, but the Chicago Blackhawks took everything the Tampa Bay Lightning could throw at them for most of the night. In the end, it took a shootout for the Lightning to pick up the two points in a chilly Chicago. Successful shootout attempts by Nikita Kucherov, who shushed the crowd after they serenaded him with boos during his attempt, Gage Goncavles, and Dominic James were the difference. With the ‘Hawks coming off a shootout ...
I want to preface my comments about this game by reminding everyone that the Tampa Bay Lightning came into this game on a 14-game point streak (13-0-1) and owned the best point percentage in the Eastern Conference (second in the NHL behind only Colorado). And the Blackhawks were playing the second half of a back-to-back. If you wanted to be in bed at a reasonable hour, the first period of this game would have been great. We didn’t see a fifth faceoff until 12:39 into the game. There was o...
Head down to the comments to talk about Friday’s game against the Lightning! Game Preview
For the first time since 2022, the White Sox have an official closer. Chicago agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with reliever Seranthony Domínguez two days after trading Luis Robert Jr. to the Mets for a pair of prospects. No one expected Jerry Reinsdorf to actually use the extra change on a solid free […]
You’ve heard it so much you’re probably tired of hearing it at this point: the Chicago Bears’ top priority this offseason is to beef up their anemic pass rush. Surprise, surprise, ESPN’s latest primer on what eliminated teams like the Bears need to do this spring agrees with that. “The Bears’ inability to pressure opposing […]
Over this past weekend, the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, and New England Patriots advanced to championship weekend, by beating the Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Buffalo Bills, and Houston Texans respectively. Obviously, this means that the winning teams did something that the Cowboys have not done in three decades, and even the […]
