The Chicago Bulls will be without their starting point guard for the second straight game. With a little over an hour before game time, the team downgraded Josh Giddey to OUT with an ankle sprain. He first suffered the injury in the Bulls’ meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. While he was able to return to the game and finish things out, the team proceeded to sit him out for Monday’s loss against the San Antonio Spurs. The Bulls were able to keep things tight in Giddey’s absence, bu...
Former MLB manager Joe Maddon went on KNBR and said he considered the San Francisco Giants hiring Tony Vitello to be “insulting.” Current broadcaster Duane Kuiper said he found Maddon’s insulting comments, well, insulting. Joe Maddon won the World Series with the Chicago Cubs in 2016 and reached the 2008 series with the Tampa Bay […]
A Ben Johnson quote from his Wednesday press conference put things into perspective as the Chicago Bears head coach set the table for this week’s upcoming game against the Minnesota. There has been much change when it comes to the vibe and energy around Chicago’s football team. And if you don’t see it, then it’s OK. Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson does: “Well, we found out a lot about ourserlves over the course of the season so far. We’re a different team than we were in Week 1, and s...
Three losses in a row for the Bulls, all largely due to superstars taking over. Can they snap the skid against a red-hot, but banged Pistons team?

As the Chicago Bears prepare for their 10th game of the season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, we are starting to get the first official team injury reports for week 11. It’s another long list this week on Wednesday, with eight Bears being listed as DNP (did not practice). That includes: DB Kevin Byard […]
The Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears have issued their first injury reports in advance of Sunday’s game at US Bank Stadium.

The Blackhawks return to the United Center ice for the first time in two weeks coming off a successful road trip. Connor Bedard is one of the hottest skaters in the entire NHL at the moment, and the Blackhawks have been showing steady improvement in a number of areas. Waiting for them will be the New Jersey Devils, who enter Wednesday’s action with the best record in the Eastern Conference. Nothing comes easy in the NHL, and this should be a fun, tough test against a really good Devils sq...
Chicago Bears head coach spoke to the media today and delivered some refreshing news: he expects cornerback Jaylon Johnson to return this season. CHGO’s Adam Hoge asked the Bears head coach about Jaylon Johnson and fellow injured cornerback Kyler Gordon: “We should be able to get the back at some point at the end of the season here,” Johnson said. “But kind of to-be-determined on when those clocks will start ticking here. I just saw Jaylon in the weight room. He’s excited about where...
The hit by Luis Salazar that won this day’s game might have been the single play that cemented the NL East title for the Cubs in 1989. To understand that statement, a little context is needed. Salazar had been acquired in trade just 10 days earlier from the Padres. It was just his ninth game […]
The Blackhawks return home from a largely successful road trip to find one of the league’s early front-runners waiting for them, as the New Jersey Devils will be Chicago’s opponent for a national broadcast from the United Center on Wednesday night. The NHL standings contain a hilarious slog of teams in the middle, with 24 teams occupying spots 5-28 in the league standings that have season totals between 17 and 22 points right now — the Blackhawks among them at 19. New Jersey is just above...
André Burakovsky was not at the Blackhawks’ morning skate on Wednesday. Head coach Jeff Blashill indicated he’s a game-time decision. With that in mind — and both Jason Dickinson (who did skate Wednesday morning but isn’t ready to return yet) and Frank Nazar out of the lineup, the Blackhawks need another forward body to fill a lineup. Blashill said after the morning skate that Landon Slaggert will be recalled and go if Burakovsky cannot. Blashill also said Slaggert’s time in Roc...
Folks who know me well may know that I typically have about 30 to 50 tabs open on my computer at any given time (sadly, not an exaggeration (current count: 43)). There’s just always stuff I want to read, stuff I might want to include in a post, and stuff that might later trigger a new post idea. One tab I’ve had open for weeks is Angels outfielder Jo Adell’s FanGraphs page . At the end of the season, I was just kinda trolling around looking at season performances I hadn’t noticed as they ...
Desperate to snap a three-game skid, the Chicago Bulls will face the same team that kicked off their 5-0 start. A 4-game road stretch starts tonight in Detroit. ⏰ 6 pm CT 📺 @CHSN__ 📻 @670TheScore 💻 https://t.co/0Gl3hZ96l1 pic.twitter.com/7uGafKmFeV — Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) November 12, 2025 While the final score was 115-111, Chicago was in complete control for the majority of that opening night game.

1920 As a response to the Black Sox scandal that saw members of the White Sox throw the World Series in 1919, baseball owners unanimously elected Kenesaw Mountain Landis as the first baseball commissioner. Landis, a White Sox fan, took the job while insisting that he be given final authority over the players and owners. […]
So if the Cubs aren’t going to re-sign Kyle Tucker — and I do not believe they will — then how about a reunion with Cody Bellinger? Bellinger had a very good 2025 with the Yankees, batting .272/.334/.480 with 29 home runs in 152 games. That was worth 5.1 bWAR. Yes, it was skewed a […]
No news to Chicago Bears fans, but Caleb Williams took a lot of sacks last year, getting sacked on 10.79% of his dropbacks. However, did you know he also led the league in sacks avoided as a rookie? This season, he’s taking far fewer sacks, with his sack percentage way down to 4.56 (fifth lowest in the […]
For nearly three quarters in Chicago on Monday, Victor Wembanyama looked ordinary – well, at least for his extraordinary standards. The 7-foot-5 forward moved carefully, probing but never truly penetrating the Chicago Bulls’ defense. He came into the game on a slump, averaging just around 17 points per game over the previous three games. His […]
Finally saw ‘Weapons,’ and I thought it was an incredibly enjoyable watch. All the more enjoyable, I suspect, because I was lucky enough to have avoided any spoilers. Went in to it knowing almost nothing, and that made the payoffs so much better. Kyle Hendricks is officially retired, which we knew was coming based on the reports, but the finality of which – without even a whiff of pomp – is still a little jarring. Then again, is it really a surprise that Kyle Hendricks is keeping it low...
