Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
The Atlanta Hawks narrowly fell to the Chicago Bulls, 126–123, in a highly competitive Eastern Conference matchup at State Farm Arena. Despite leading for much of the contest and receiving standout performances from Trae Young and Jalen Johnson, Atlanta was unable to close the game in the final minutes. The Hawks opened the contest with […]
There are a ton of impressive records in the NBA—Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game, LeBron’s scoring record, etc. And somehow, the Chicago Bulls being undefeated since I’ve started covering them here at Bleacher Nation feels like a one-above-all kind of achievement. I’m officially claiming myself as the lucky charm… at least until they lose. But with the way Josh Giddey and the team have been playing lately, is a legit playoff push actually on the cards? Let’s talk Bulls basketball. ...

Morning, all! Jacob Webb has signed a one year deal with the Chicago Cubs, joining fellow former Ranger relievers Hoby Milner and Phil Matom. And that’s all I’m seeing out there today.
Christmastime has been a time of reflection for yours truly in recent years. So, with that in mind, I want to preemptively thank those of you who reach out this time of year. Your kindness, consideration, and love is always appreciated. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s talk about the playoff-bound Chicago Bears. I hadn’t thought a ton about Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon since he was placed on injured reserve until I saw this tweet from Sun-Times reporter Jason Lieser: ...
We have reached the NHL’s Christmas break, Blackhawks fans. And… things aren’t great right now. The Blackhawks have sunk to dead last in the NHL standings . The break comes at a good time for the Blackhawks, who have lost their last six in a row and eight of their last ten. After the game last night, André Burakovsky looked like a frustrated man who needs a break. And I’m sure he’s not alone in that regard. It’s not great. They can be a tough watch if you’re just looking for lots of goals...
Just one day left to hear “All I Want for Christmas is You” another 800 times before the day arrives. I’m not even complaining, because I feel like I’ve barely heard it this year. It’s fine. Lay it on me. There was a flurry of deals announced or otherwise reported out yesterday around baseball, which wasn’t a huge surprise. As we’ve discussed, although Christmas doesn’t represent an actual deadline, a lot of guys (and team execs) treat it as a soft deadline to try to wrap up various mov...

1913 Future White Sox owner Arthur Allyn was born in Chicago. By purchasing Bill Veeck’s stake in the team in 1961, combined with buying out founder Charles Comiskey’s grandson, Chuck, Allyn was the end point of all Comiskey involvement with the White Sox franchise. Allyn didn’t care much for baseball, buying the club as much […]

Week 16 brought Saturday night football too Chicago as the rematch that we’d all been waiting for took place at Soldier Field. Both the Bears and the Packers clearly made adjustments to their game plans entering this one, with the Bears defense notably playing a more “bend-don’t-break” style to limit Green Bay’s opportunities for explosive […]

Week 16 of the NFL regular season came to a close with 17 Maryland football alumni seeing the field. Veteran wide receivers D.J. Moore and Stefon Diggs both had significant performances to push their respective teams closer to the playoff stage. Moore made the game-winning catch to seal a marquee win over the Green Bay […]
The Detroit Lions aren’t quite dead yet. If the improbable results of them finishing out by winning their two remaining games (at Vikings, at Bears), combined with the Green Bay Packers losing out (vs. 49ers, at Vikings), happen, the Lions will have managed to sneak their way into the postseason. But after Sunday’s loss to […]

The Chicago Blackhawks added another lump of coal to the stocking on Tuesday night, losing their sixth straight game in a 4–1 defeat to the Philadelphia Flyers on Christmas Eve Eve. The Flyers opened the scoring midway through the first period. Travis Konecny was set up in the left faceoff circle by a slick feed from Trevor Zegras and snapped it home from in close to make it 1–0. Nine straight games of TZ46 snagging points like this. ⤵️ #PHIvsCHI | #LetsGoFlyers pic.twitter.com/WU4rj...
In the final game before the Christmas break and in a second half of a back-to-back, the Flyers went into Chicago and came away with a wire-to-wire 3-1 victory over the Blackhawks. At the tail end of a brutal condensed schedule where the Flyers played 10 games in 17 days, the Flyers now head into the holiday break with the second highest points percentage in the East. The Basics First period: 10:17 – Travis Konecny (Trevor Zegras, Sean Couturier) Second period: 11:13 – Noah Ca...
Sports Illustrated | Delilah Bourque: The Yankees were provided a glimmer of hope in a potential pursuit of starting pitcher Tatsuya Imai. Voices around the industry have singled out the Yankees and Cubs as the likeliest landing spots for the NPB star, and sources recently relayed that Chicago is not one of his preferred landing […]
The first period of this game was a dump and chase drill. The teams combined to put ten shots on net (6-4 in favor of the Flyers). Philly’s second shot didn’t happen until 10:17 had come off the clock. Unfortunately, it went in. The Blackhawks had a 7-3 advantage in scoring chances in the first period at 5-on-5 , but were chasing one after one. The Blackhawks and Flyers really made it feel like both teams have three days off after this game in the second period… until the Flyers amazingly...
The Chicago Bulls are on a four-game win streak after beating the Atlanta Hawks tonight, 126–123, in a game that went down to the wire. This game had more low moments than high ones, but all’s well that ends well. Trust me, you’ll want to read this game story. First Half: A Tough Watch This is the fun (not) of being a Chicago Bulls fan. One night, the rim is as big as the ocean, and the misses are as real as Santa Claus. Then another, against the same team, in the same arena, everyth...
This Chicago Bears team meets the moment unlike any I can remember since the Super Bowl. Ben Johnson has the team playing confidently and with focus. Coming off another late, near-miraculous win, the team is in the playoffs and is in position to clinch their division. It’s going to be an interesting finish to the […]

The Atlanta Hawks were back in action Tuesday evening to face the Chicago Bulls. No one will forget the game two days ago, where both teams scored 150, but the Bulls came out on top, finishing with 152. Defense was hard to come by in that game for both teams, and the goal for this […]
