Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … Eagles-Bears preview: Five things to watch – PhillyVoice1) Maybe it’s time for Tank? The Eagles’ historic rushing attack of 2024 has been non-existent for most of 2025. The offensive line hasn’t played as well as we’ve been accustomed to, the offensive staff lacks creativity, and […]
For the first time in forever, Bears fans don’t have to be knee-deep in mock drafts late into November. I’ve been writing for Windy City Gridiron since 2017, and I’ve been grateful enough to be the Lead Draft Analyst here since 2020. For every season I’ve been here except 2018, I’ve been pretty consistent releasing […]
OK. Day before Thanksgiving. This is important. I must summon all of my willpower to eat VERY LIGHT today, thereby justifying the monstrous damage I plan to do tomorrow. The problem with putting me in charge of Thanksgiving Day food is that I will choose anything and everything that I personally want to eat. Which means there are like 15 different things I want to eat tomorrow, and I will do so. The Athletic’s Andy McCullough put together a list of mostly-serious, semi-cheeky Black Frid...
After the win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was asked about the sack he took in the end zone, which he fumbled away for a Steelers touchdown, and whether he should have just taken a dive and given up a safety instead. “Yeah… what I’m supposed to do is just throw […]

Good morning and happy one of the drunkest days of the year to all who celebrate. Being from Venezuela, Carlos Narvaez probably does not celebrate Thanksgiving by spending the night at his hometown dive bar with his high school frenemies. But he will be celebrating in some capacity today, because it’s his birthday. Talk about […]
It was another disappointment for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they fell 31-28 to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Steelers started strong and were able to force Bears quarterback Caleb Williams into uncomfortable situations early, as T.J. Watt strip-sacked the young signal caller early in the game, but things flipped dramatically in the second half. […]

Altogether, six Bears were listed as DNP (did not practice) on Wednesday, including: LB T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring), LB Ruben Hyppolite II (shoulder), OL Luke Newman […]
The White Sox may not have earned any postseason honors in 2025, but that doesn’t mean some of their younger players left town empty-handed. MLB announced its 2025 pre-arbitration bonus pool distribution, and four of Chicago’s players received supplemental cash based on their contributions this past season. Dollar amounts are based on “Joint WAR,” a […]
The Bears continued their winning ways on Sunday, defeating the Steelers 31-28 in a tight matchup that saw Chicago improve to 8-3 in front of their home crowd. As the close score and high-scoring point would leave one to believe, it wasn’t a flawless performance from the Bears by any means in Week 12. The […]
The Chicago Bears are beyond “in the hunt” for a playoff spot, as they are leading the NFC North. It gives them an upper hand, but we know there is still so far to go. With three division games remaining, all against the teams immediately behind them in the standings, anything can happen. But with […]

The Chicago Bulls’ NBA Cup journey is about to come to an end early … again. Ahead of this week’s close to the tournament group stage, the NBA released an update on both the clinching and elimination scenarios in all six groups. While the Bulls’ Group C is far from decided, the chances of Billy Donovan’s crew advancing have all but vanished. The blowout loss to the Miami Heat last Friday moved Chicago to 1-2 and dropped their point differential to a -42, which is the second-worst in the E...
The Chicago Bears moved to 8-3 on Sunday, knocking off the Pittsburgh Steelers at Soldier Field. Caleb Williams, a dynamic rookie class, and Dennis Allen’s never-say-never defense were the story. Before we turn the page to the Steelers’ Pennsylvania neighbors, the Philadelphia Eagles, let’s tip our caps to the stars of Chicago’s Week 12 victory in this week’s Good, Better, Best. Good: Caleb Williams Williams threw for 239 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions, posting a 104...
One of the secrets of the 2025 Cubs success was above average production from just about every position on the diamond. That includes catcher, where Carson Kelly, Miguel Amaya and Reese McGuire combined to put up 4.2 fWAR last season. You can see FanGraphs’ summary of production by player position and role at this link. […]
I hope Montez Sweat gets serious consideration for NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for his efforts in the Chicago Bears’ Week 12 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sweat stuffed the stat sheet to the tune of 2 sacks, 3 solo tackles, 3 tackles-for-loss, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, and 2 quarterback hits. Heck, I think Montez Sweat would have been a virtual lock for NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors had he picked up a third sack, but Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolp...
Every year, MLB teams pay into a pool of cash set aside to reward younger players – those who’ve not yet reached their arbitration years – for the value they provide in a given season. It was a nod in the last Collective Bargaining Agreement to the fact that pre-arb players do so much for a team, but receive so little compensation, relatively speaking. The payout is based on a combination of factors, from awards recognition to WAR calculations, and it comes from the collective pool, not a...

The last weekend of May 2015 was unseasonably cool and rainy in Chicago. When the Cubs defeated the Royals at Wrigley Field May 31, the game-time temperature was just 47 degrees — that’s almost 30 degrees below the average high for the date, 75. And the game the day before had been rained out. The […]
