That appeared to be an important day for photographing the ol’ ballyard, as here is a photo from inside Wrigley Field on that very same day. The photo from […]

Is Rome Odunze Primed For a Week 12 Breakout? Dennis Allen vs. an Old Rival, Cairo Santos Has No Concerns, and Other Bears Bullets

Watching my alma mater, Southern Illinois, go on the road, beat a top-15 team in its building by 30 points (and on Senior Day!) got my juices flowing and ready for today’s Bears game. Selfishly, I hope The Committee puts the Salukis in as an at-large team. Their efforts might fall under the “too little, too late” umbrella, but at least it was fun to witness. Happy Game Day! The Chicago Bears enter Week 12 in sole possession of first place in the NFC North. Who knows how long it will las...

Toughest Test Tonight, Lardis Back on Fire, Prospects in Action, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

Today presents the biggest early test to date for the young Blackhawks’ building process. The Blackhawks were playing well, but collapsed in the third period on Thursday night and never got off the bus on Friday in Buffalo.

This is where the veteran teams of the past couple years would struggle to righ...

Wizards Battle But Come Up Short Against the Bulls

The Washington Wizards played well for long stretches, building a 16-point advantage in the first half, and leading for more than 41 of the game’s 48 minutes, and still depart Chicago with their 14th straight loss. This one was both encouraging and disheartening that the Wizards could find a way to lose. The Bulls have […]
