They now head into a Central Division back-to-back on the road, starting with the Chicago Bulls, followed by the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Like the Sixers, the Bulls have […]

Jameson Taillon wants to put in a good word for his Cubs rotation-mate in the NL Rookie of the Year race : All really awesome exciting young players!

The Chicago Bears, as a franchise, currently have a void when it comes to who their most prominent living former player is. Walter Payton should hold this role, but he was tragically taken from us way too young. It’s been 26 years already, and in my world, I cannot own a Bears jersey unless it’s […] The post Peanut Tillman Should be the Bears Living Face of the Franchise appeared first on The Sports Bank .
The Blackhawks remain without a win on their six-game road trip after a third straight defeat on Monday night, losing 3-1 to the Seattle Kraken. After a scoreless first period, Seattle scored first when this seeing-eye point shot from Jamie Oleksiak ended up in the Blackhawks net: Jamie Oleksiak's shot from the point finds its way in to open the scoring for Seattle pic.twitter.com/84DBOMnQvN — BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 4, 2025 Later in the second, the Kraken went up ...
This game felt a lot like the Blackhawks’ loss to the Kings at the United Center, except the Blackhawks dominated the puck more in this game. The Kraken just didn’t let them get a lot of good, clean shots off — and the Blackhawks couldn’t finish. The Blackhawks had a 22-11 Corsi For advantage at 5-on-5 in the second period and a 35-23 overall advantage at 5-on-5 after 40 minutes of hockey (49-24 in all situations). The Blackhawks out-shot the Kraken 14-5 in the second period. Chicago had ...

The New York Knicks (4-3) beat the Bulls last night at Madison Square Garden. Tonight, facing the young Washington Wizards (1-6) in the second of a back-to-back, you might have expected a sluggish start. And you would have been correct. After a sleepwalking through the first quarter, the Knicks found life in the second quarter […]

This news was expected, and today, Major League Baseball made it official. Cubs right-hander Cade Horton is a National League Rookie of the Year “finalist”: Just to make it clear: There isn’t another election. The “finalists” are simply the players who were the top three vote-getters in the award voting that was completed when the […]
We’ve talked about some crazy games during our time doing Bear & Balanced, but none quite as crazy as yesterday’s 47 to 42 Chicago Bears win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Eight lead changes, 1,071 total yards of offense, 31 fourth-quarter points, and a couple of firsts in NFL history by the Bears. Chicago shook off […]
It was a wild Halloween weekend. In fact, I think I’ve aged about 15 years since I took my children trick-or-treating on Friday night. All of that is to say that I hope we never have to watch a ballgame like that one against the Cincinnati Bengals again. But how fun was it to see […]
Bears News Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai delivered a monster performance in his first NFL start, rushing for 176 yards and adding 22 receiving yards in a 47-42 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The seventh-round pick totaled 198 scrimmage yards on 29 touches while filling in for injured starter D’Andre Swift. […]
The Blackhawks made a couple roster moves on Monday afternoon before the team faces the Kraken in Seattle. The timing of them is what makes them interesting. The Blackhawks recalled Oliver Moore from Rockford at 1:25 PM CT, and officially put Jason Dickinson on IR. That all added up. Then the Blackhawks assigned Landon Slaggert to Rockford at 4:01 PM CT. The move leaves the Blackhawks with 12 healthy forwards on the NHL roster. The coaches have been skating 11 forwards most nigh...
I’ve never been a huge fan of roller coasters. The ups, downs, speed, and turns are all just too much for me. But when the ride is over, for those few minutes, I always have a little sense of accomplishment, a feeling of “alright, that wasn’t all that bad,” even though in the moment I wasn’t having fun on the ride. That was essentially the fourth quarter of yesterday’s Bears win. I kept thinking that I just wanted this to be over; I just wanted to get through it and just hang on. But at t...
MLB NEWS — This season, the Chicago Cubs had SIX Gold Glove finalists: Nico Hoerner, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Ian Happ, Matt Shaw, Matthew Boyd, and Carson Kelly. And when the winners were announced last night, three Cubs took home some hardware: PCA won his first (but obviously not his last), Nico Hoerner grabbed his second (feels crazy that there haven’t been more), and Ian Happ continued to clean up in left field with his fourth consecutive Gold Glove award. Their three wins are the most o...
While there is a lot to like about the Chicago Bulls’ 5-1 start to the regular season, the play of Matas Buzelis remains near the top of the list. The development of the second year forward is arguably the most important storyline for this organization. The Bulls have been in obvious need of a true, high-impact star for years, and Buzelis has flashed the kind of two-way skills that suggest he could become that star. To begin the year, he has shown the growth many hoped to see after his fi...
The Bears are in the thick of the playoff hunt. Sitting at 5-3 after a last minute victory against the Bengals, it appears the Bears would be buyers ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. Insiders like Jay Glazer have been noting that the Bears will be aggressive in adding to their roster. Many around the league […]
