As 2026 continues to look more and more like an “all-in” season for the Chicago Cubs, we cannot discount the possibility of more additions to the 2026 roster this offseason. Logically, of course, that makes sense. But even more reassuringly, both President Jed Hoyer and GM Carter Hawkins have indicated as much, even suggesting that – for once – paying the luxury tax isn’t a concern or impediment to any moves they may want to make before Opening Day.
But when you look around the diamond/ro...
In his first season as a member of the Jets he will play his first game in the place he called home for 15 years.
I’ve used the same image of a Blackhawks’ jersey for every other pregame post this season (with the exceptions for the jerseys in which they wear black). Tonight’s different because… it’s different. The Captain returns. It’s going to be a special night at the United Center, with a hockey game taking place as well.

With the Divisional Round now in the books and the Bears’ season unfortunately concluded, it’s a good time to run through another 2026 NFL Mock Draft.
How will the Jets react after Dante Moore’s choice to go back to Oregon? What will the Bears do with the 25th pick ?
Let’s get to it.

The Cubs’ 2022 season began much like 2021 ended — with the team losing games, some of them by large scores (though they also had a 21-0 win over the Pirates in that span, go figure). They had taken two of the first three games of a four-game set against the Reds in Cincinnati, and […]
We know that Alex Bregman’s deal with the Chicago Cubs is for five years, is nominally worth $175 million, has a reported $70 million in deferrals, and comes with a no-trade clause.
Now we know a little more on the particulars there:
Details on deferred $ in Alex Bregman deal: $70 million of $175M is deferred ($15M in 2026 & 2029, $10M in 2027 & 2028, $20M in 2030) Deferred money is paid each July 31, 2034-41: 2026 & 2029 in installments of $1.875M 2027 & 2028 in installments of $1.2...
The Blackhawks close out their four-game homestand on Monrday against the Winnipeg Jets, hoping to snap a recent skid and return to the win column.
The Jets’ season has unraveled after a decent start. Winnipeg won seven of its first 10 games but have watched things steadily slide downhill since. The Jets are currently 31st in the league standings, and the underlying numbers explain why: a 48.16 percent shot-attempt share at 5-on-5 (24th in the NHL) and a 46.67 percent expected goals share...
A lot of the time, 24 hours after a loss, I begin to feel better. I’ll get more optimistic, diagnose how it wasn’t as bad as it looked, and start to get optimistic about the future. This is not one of those times. Part of the reason why is obvious. The Bears’ outstanding season, one that defied all of our expectations, has come to a close.
And, while not many of us believed they could get this far when the season kicked off in September, now it feels like it came to an end too soon. The R...
The dream of a season for the Chicago Bears carried on another week with their toughest test on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Rams. For many fans, basking in the glory of one of the most impressive comeback wins in recent memory was enough to get them through the week and into Divisional Round […]
The Los Angeles Rams eliminated the Chicago Bears in a closely fought NFC divisional round game. LA finished on top 20-17. The effort required contributions from outside the usual suspects, and the Pro Football Focus (PFF) game grades and data support this. Let’s dive in. Top five grades on offense 1 – Kevin Dotson, RG: […]
Were it not for an Achilles tear at the end of July, 32-year-old righty reliever Trent Thornton might not have been available in free agency at all, much less available on a minor league deal. He’d had a slow start to the season in the Mariners’ bullpen to be sure, but he’d been dominating since mid-June, and he had been a really good reliever in 2023 and 2024 (3.13 ERA (18% better than league average), 3.70 FIP (7% better), 24.6% K, 6.0% BB, 6.6% barrel, 34.6% hard hit).
As of the moment...
Even though Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears were unable to pull it off against the Los Angeles Rams, the Chicago Bulls were able to give their city a tad bit of comfort as they manhandled the Nets all game last night. Of course, having your best player in Michael Porter Jr. out of the […]
If going for two and the win against the Rams after Cole Kmet’s miraculous touchdown catch crossed your mind, just know that you are not alone. Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson briefly considered going all-in on with a win-or-go-home two-point conversion attempt. He ultimately decided to play it safe and sent kicker Cairo Santos to boot the extra point, which was successful. However, it’s not as if the thought didn’t cross Johnson’s mind.
“I thought about it,” Johnson said while explaining hi...
The Los Angeles Rams are heading to the NFC Championship after yet another Matthew Stafford game-winning drive in the playoffs. It was the ‘Thiccer Kicker’ who sent the Rams to the NFC Championship Game with the game-winning kick in overtime as the defense forced three turnovers. For the Rams, it didn’t come easy, but they […]
Last night, the Chicago Bears’ season came to an end with a disappointing 20- 17 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams. While our fanbase is probably still hurting, I hope we can all reach a place of positivity at some point, because this was a magical season that should be celebrated. There’ll be no […]

You may recall back in December that there were significant rumors about the Chicago Cubs’ interest in Zac Gallen, a free agent starter coming off a down season but with a long track record of success before that. It’s a type the Cubs sure do like. And, when the Cubs missed out on Tatsuya Imai, the Gallen rumors ticked right back up .
But, with the Cubs having traded for Edward Cabrera and checked the “we need a front-three type guy” box, I wouldn’t say there was an expectation that the C...
Even though the Chicago Bulls won last night, the city of Chicago isn’t exactly celebrating. And no—it’s not because the Bulls beat a shorthanded team (though, let’s be honest, that does mean very little). It’s because the dream-like season of the Chicago Bears came to an end.
We may be Bulls writers here, but we can still appreciate what we witnessed. So I won’t cry because it’s over, I’ll smile because it happened.
Now, back to the hardwood.
Let’s talk Bulls basketball.

The Kansas City Chiefs could soon turn to an old friend to fill a coaching vacancy on Andy Reid’s staff. Because while Matt Nagy is still the offensive coordinator, there seems to be a belief that he is about to leave for a head-coaching position. Hence, we are already seeing reports that Eric Bieniemy, who coaches running backs for the Chicago Bears, has been requested for an interview with one of his former organizations.
This was an unexpected twist on Monday:

The Los Angeles Rams pulled off a huge 20-17 overtime win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. L.A. is set for an epic Round III matchup against the Seahawks in Seattle next week, but they had better play A LOT better if they hope to advance to the Super Bowl. Ahead of the Rams’ first […]
The Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly making the change at offensive coordinator that felt inevitable with Matt Nagy’s push for a head coaching job. The first reported interview request by the Chiefs was Bears’ running back coach Eric Bieniemy, and the team is planning to make it the only one by hiring the former Kansas […]
This past weekend brought Green Bay Packers fans two major positive pieces of news. The first is that the waiting to find out about head coach Matt LaFleur’s future is over, as he signed his new contract extension on Saturday. The second, of course, is that the Chicago Bears lost on Sunday night, as the […]
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
The Bears’ 2025-26 season came to an end on Sunday, as their 20-17 overtime loss to the Rams in the Divisional Round eliminated them from the playoffs. It was an entertaining season from start to finish, and though expectations were surpassed in Ben Johnson’s first year as the team’s head coach, it’s still painful to […]
The day has arrived. There will be a 19 on the ice at the United Center, but he’ll be wearing the wrong jersey. It’s going to be an emotional night for certain. The Blackhawks want a win. But the focus is going to be Jonathan Toews. Even the Jets’ social media knows it.
