Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
Human beings are complicated and pretty much nobody is actually a pure hero or a complete villain. Well, Vlad the Impaler was most likely not the nicest guy on the planet. And Clay Travis is not very redeeming. When it comes to famous athletes, this truth is all the more inconvenient. Our sports heroes are […] The post Bears, Ravens Share History of Star Players with Off-Field Problems appeared first on The Sports Bank .
Ayo Dosunmu: Most Improved Player? Wouldn’t be the first time we’ve said that about the Illinois legend in his NBA career, but this year it looks legit. After a 21-point outburst in the Bulls’ win over the Hawks on Monday, Chicago is 3-0 and Ayo is red-hot to start off year five. He’s averaging 16.7 […]

The Atlanta Hawks (1-3) had their full starting lineup for the first time since opening night on Monday against the Chicago Bulls (3-0). It showed early. Atlanta’s offense had no trouble to begin the night. They dropped 18 points on the Bulls in the first 6 minutes of action, and 10 of those points came from recently acquired big man Kristaps Porzingis. By the end of the first quarter, they were shooting 50 percent from the field and had scored a season-high 35 points on the Bulls’ defens...
The Atlanta Hawks were in Chicago on Monday evening to face the Bulls as they start their four-game road trip. Coming off a loss against the defending champs, the Hawks are looking to get back on track this week, and they should be able to as they were fully healthy coming into the game, with […]
The Washington Commanders are playing on Monday Night Football for the second time in two weeks. They lost at home to the Chicago Bears in Week 6, and are now traveling to Missouri to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. The Commanders are on a two-game losing streak and fell to 3-4 after […]
The Arizona Fall League is already in its third week, and the White Sox have nine prospects in action, headlined by OF Braden Montgomery (White Sox No. 1/MLB No. 35) and LHP Hagen Smith (No. 5/No. 88). Rounding out the crew: IF Sam Antonacci (No. 11), RHP Tyler Davis, IF Ryan Galanie, RHP Carson Jacobs, […]

The Indiana Pacers have pulled a fast one on the Chicago Bulls. On the same day the organization officially named Mac McClung as part of its G League roster, the Indiana Pacers have reportedly pryed him away. ESPN’s Shams Charania announced that McClung will sign a multi-year contract with the defending Eastern Conference champion. The team has reportedly waived former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman in order to make room for McClung. A three-time Slam Dunk champion, McClung was exp...
The Chicago Bears let a winnable game slip away from them at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Much like the loss to the Minnesota Vikings in week one, this was a game that the Bears will almost surely look back upon at the end of the season with regret. Could have, […]

During the Chicago Bears’ four-game winning streak, they received pick-me-ups from all three phases, but yesterday against the Baltimore Ravens, they were let down by all three. I’ll even throw in the coaching, because the game plan on both sides of the ball had some issues. That said, the Bears were facing a Ravens team […]
The Chicago Bulls could be without their lead guard as they try to stay undefeated on Monday night. According to t he latest official injury report, Josh Giddey remains questionable for the team’s third regular-season game of the year. Giddey is dealing with a sprain in his right finger that he seemingly suffered during Saturday’s win over the Orlando Magic. Giddey scored 21 points with 8 rebounds and assists in the team’s win before sitting out the second half of the fourth quarter....
Only four teams are undefeated after the first six days of the NBA season: The Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers, and the Chicago Bulls. One is the defending NBA champions. One has a player like we’ve never seen before. One has a former MVP. And the other has a slightly above-average starting point guard! I think most would say the Chicago Bulls have had a surprising start to the 2025-26 season. Facing off against two projected playoff teams with former No. 1 pi...
Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson shared injury news updates during his Monday availability with the media at Halas Hall. Among the biggest injury news notes Johnson shared ( via The Athletic’s Kevin Fishbain ) is that rookie Shemar Turner suffered a season-ending ACL tear. Shemar Turner was one of three second-round selections the Bears made in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Texas A&M product was a tweener of sorts coming out of college because there was some position uncertainty surrounding...
Another rough injury to the Chicago Bears’ defense. This time, it is rookie defensive lineman Shemar Turner whose season is over with a torn ACL, per head coach Ben Johnson. Turner, one of the Bears’ three 2nd round picks in the 2025 NFL draft, was having a solid rookie year with 6 tackles and 2 […]
The moment Ravens pass rusher Mike Green exploded off the edge en route to sacking Bears quarterback Caleb Williams in the first quarter of Chicago’s 30-16 loss on Sunday, I immediately jotted it down as the moment that pushed me to start looking into left tackle prospects who will be eligible for the 2026 NFL Draft. But I let the rest of the game play out because I didn’t want to overreact. While there were moments when Theo Benedet was holding his own on the edge, Nicholas Moreano (Marq...
The four-game winning streak is over, and so is the good vibes tour — at least for a week. The Bears ran into a buzzsaw in Baltimore and dropped a 30-16 decision to the Ravens , and this week’s episode of the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast (presented by Obvious Shirts) is all about unpacking what it means, what matters, and what’s noise. We dig into Caleb Williams’ recent slump and ask the fair question: Is this just a rough patch for a young QB, or the first hint of real long-term concern...
We are three weeks into the Arizona Fall League and since it’s a Monday off-day, it’s a good time to check in on the Mesa Solar Sox. The Solar Sox played six games this past week and won two of them and lost four of them. That gives them an overall record of 6-10 and […]
Going into Sunday, the Chicago Bears had a chance to rid themselves once again of the demons that haunted them in 2024, breaking through a (4-2) start with an additional win to match their 2024 win total seven games into the season. Instead, the team will leave Baltimore with many more questions than answers after […]
Over at The Athletic today , Jim Bowden ranks the top 50 MLB free agents, together with contract comps, predictions, and potential fits. I will offer my usual caveat: these types of articles can be interesting and informative in a broad sense – giving you a look at the landscape, overviews on players, very rough ideas on contract expectations, etc. You don’t want to take too much away from the specific Cubs mentions, for example, even if it’s interesting to see. To that end, I will say th...
After a nice trial run last week, the Chicago Bulls are about to sprint into the 2025-26 season. They are in store for a busy and difficult week, beginning with a matchup against one of the Eastern Conference’s darkhorse contenders. Then, after welcoming Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan back into the United Center for a revenge game, they will finish the week with two straight against the New York Knicks. As great as the 2-0 start has been, this week will tell us A LOT about who this team re...
