WEEK 16 CHICAGO BEARS INACTIVES — The Bears did some roster shuffling before Saturday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. Headlining Saturday’s transactions was the activation of linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, who had been on injured reserve since Nov. 22 because of a groin injury. Edmunds missed four games, but Chicago’s football team went 3-1 in those contests. It also saw D’Marco Jackson, who replaced Edmunds in the starting lineup, win the NFC’s Defensive Player of the Week award for ...
The Blackhawks lost the game on Saturday, but the injury news makes it worse than a single game. Frank Nazar took this shot to the face early in the first period and left the game immediately:

If Arvid Söderblom wants to quite the calls for Laurent Brossoit to see some run with the Blackhawks at some point, he needs to have better games than he did today. The first goal wasn’t great. He allowed another two that were waived off, and — for a team that was playing without their two best offensive players — he needs to stop a few of the goals he allowed this afternoon.
The Blackhawks were able to tie the game three times in the second period, and they needed those goals. Söderblom ...
FOX’s Jay Glazer is reporting that the Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Tom (knee/back) is expected to miss today’s game against the Chicago Bears, one that will likely decide the fate of the NFC North. Tom dropped out of last week’s game with a knee injury and didn’t return to action against the Denver […]
The NFL has expanded to Saturday this week, and it means big stakes for the NFC playoff race—something that should have the attention of all Detroit Lions fans. Saturday kicks off with a late afternoon matchup (5 p.m. ET) between the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles. While there is not much at stake for the […]
With Saturday games upon us, that means the 2025 NFL regular season is quickly drawing to a close. There are just a few weeks left for teams to make a play for the postseason, and today’s slate brings plenty of NFC drama to your weekend plans. First up at 5 p.m. EST, it’s the Philadelphia […]
The Eagles can eliminate the Cowboys from the playoffs if they can beat the Commanders in the first game. Later, the Bears could help elevate one of our first-round draft picks by defeating the Packers. This is an open thread for game chat.
We’ve got the College Football Playoff going on at the same time the NFL is wrapping up its regular season with some Saturday action. Let’s hope none of the remaining games in either sport are as bad as what Miami and Texas A&M trotted out. Anyway, the Philadelphia Eagles take on the already eliminated Washington […]
On Friday, it was reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler that the Chicago Bears planned to activate linebacker Tremaine Edmunds from injured reserve to the active roster. An official announcement will likely be made on Saturday ahead of their Green Bay Packers game at Soldier Field. UPDATE: The Bears did make Edmunds’ activation official, and they also […]
The possibility of the White Sox signing Japanese superstar Munetaka Murakami is picking up momentum. When Murakami was posted, the White Sox were not among the teams mentioned as a possible landing spot for the “Japanese Babe Ruth.” The belief was that he would prefer to sign with a contender, and he would command a […]

During the season, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the team or their thoughts on other topics. The Browns are coming off a loss to the Chicago Bears, and with how lopsided last week’s game was, fan confidence dropped by 17 percentage points down to 30%. The […]
With very limited exceptions I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to draft a tight end in the first round of the NFL draft. Even good ones often take some time to develop, and while elite, multi-faceted tight ends are incredibly valuable, you can get “good enough” production from the middle rounds with regularity. […]
Maybe the Chicago Bulls should just play the Cleveland Cavaliers 82 times a year?
Stunningly, the Bulls managed to pull off their second straight double-digit defeat of the Cavaliers on Friday night, a 136-125 road victory , behind a fairly balanced, fast-breaking attack. Forward Matas Buzelis and center Nikola Vucevic led the way with 24 points each.
With the win (its third in the last four games), Chicago improved to a borderline-respectable 12-15 record, and will next face off aga...

Hello, Chicago Bears Fans! After the dominating performance of the Beloved against the Cleveland Browns, the Bears are looking for some payback against the Green Bay Packers in the rematch on Saturday, after Week 14’s disappointing loss in Green Bay. A lot has happened in just a couple of weeks, with the Bears missing both […]
After the Blackhawks got shut down in Montreal, I dug into some numbers and threw out some potential lineup tweaks to help the Hawks generate more offense. A few hours later, the Blackhawks took the ice for practice in Montreal and the lines were fairly close to what I wrote.
Because this is an early afternoon puck drop, there won’t be a morning skate. The lines below are what the Blackhawks skated at practice. We’ll have to wait and see if there are any changes during warm-ups.

Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season brings with it two Saturday games. First up, the Philadelphia Eagles visit the Washington Commanders in an NFC East rivalry game. Tonight, the schedule swings to the NFC North, where the Green Bay Packers visit the Chicago Bears. Both games impact the NFC playoff picture: the Eagles can […]
The Chicago Bears look to extend their lead in the NFC North to a game and a half with two to play with a win over the Green Bay Packers tonight at Soldier Field. I look to continue the winning ways of the prop plays after another profitable day last week when the Bears faced […]
Here’s yet another one from BCB reader Clark Addison, and I cropped the photo at the top of the post to take away one significant clue. Can you figure out which game this is from just the Cubs waiting to greet the walk-off home run hitter at the plate? (It’s obvious it’s a walk-off home […]
It sounds like the Chicago Bears will have linebacker Tremaine Edmunds back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Green Bay Packers.
ESPN Jeremy Fowler shares the scoop:

An opportunity for revenge against the Bedard-less Hawks
The NFL has expanded to Saturday for Week 16, and it features two games that will have a big impact on the NFC playoff standings. The Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles face off at 5 p.m. ET, and the Chicago Bears host the Green Bay Packers at 8:20 p.m. ET. For the Detroit Lions, who […]
Ben Pope at the Chicago Sun-Times wrote a really good piece on Friday after a lengthy conversation with Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson. The focus of this story was the Blackhawks’ goaltending situation.
Davidson told Pope they’re still committed to Arvid Söderblom as the NHL back-up. “There’s no real discussion at this point to making any change. We just have to be a little more consistent in front of him.” But behind Spencer Knight and Söderblom is a mess right now.
Since ...
