The Chicago Bears shook off their loss to the Baltimore Ravens with a chaotic shootout win in Cincinnati, and now they return home for a matchup with the Giants.
Chicago is starting to find its offensive identity behind Caleb Williams, but several big questions linger as the schedule tightens. Will Kyle Monangai’s breakout moments will lead to a bigger workload? What does Rome Odunze’s recent dip in production really mean?
Defensively, the Bears are coming off one of their roughest w...

Hello, Chicago Bears Fans! Well, that was a roller-coaster of a game, wasn’t it? In this week’s Good, Better, Best, we look back on a wild game against the Cincinnati Bengals where Joe Flacco did Joe Flacco things – and every Bears fan had their hearts in their throat, knowing how these kinds of games […]
A version of this story originally ran April 8, 2019, the 50th anniversary of this historic event. I repost it here as part of this walkoff wins series, with some minor edits and a few notes on Willie Smith’s career. To understand the true meaning of Willie Smith’s walkoff two-run homer on April 8, 1969, […]
Do you think Billy Donovan keeps checking the Eastern Conference standings just to make sure it’s real? I know I do!
The Chicago Bulls have started the season 5-0 at home! While I am not as obsessed with “home court advantage” as Arturas Karnisovas, I think we can all agree that you’re supposed to play better in your own building. For whatever reason, the Bulls have been awful at that over the past few years. They have finished below .500 at the United Center in each of the last two sea...
Sunday’s matchup with the New York Giants seems like a winnable game for the Chicago Bears at home in front of the Soldier Field crowd. The Giants are 2-5 on the season, 0-5 on the road, and the Bears are four and a half point favorites.
Still, quarterback Caleb Williams says Chicago won’t be looking past the Giants on Sunday, speaking at his weekly press conference, that there’s no “slouch game” in this league.
“When you go out there and you play vs. those guys, you know, those guys...
We’ve already talked a good amount here about the marvelous start to the season the Blackhawks have enjoyed from goaltender Spencer Knight .
Knight, 24, has started 10 of the Blackhawks’ first 14 games. Among goalies who have appeared in at least 5 games this season, Knight ranks fourth in save percentage (.919) and 11th in goals against average (2.56). Of course, GAA is a function of the number of shots he’s facing. And we don’t need to look much further than Wednesday night’s win to see...
Have a week, Colston Loveland.
Hours after it was announced that the Chicago Bears rookie tight end was named the NFC’s Offensive Player of the Week , Loveland was given the NVP award.
No franchise has a richer history when it comes to the coveted NVP award than the Bears. Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky won it in January 2021 for his efforts in what is still the Bears’ most recent playoff appearance. But now, Loveland can also claim the honor of winning the NVP award as a member of Ch...
The Chicago Bears are looking to keep their winning ways going by taking on a New York Giants squad trying to find their way. In some ways, this Giants squad is reminiscent of recent Bears teams. They’ve been stuck in the mud with a coach that it seems like the fanbase is turning on, but […]
Colson Montgomery did more than surprise White Sox fans with his strong rookie season — he caught the attention of several MLB analysts. Each year, MLB ranks the Top 10 rookies based on their long-term value to their organizations, and this year Montgomery was No. 7 on the list. Ironically, this year is the first […]
The Cubs had a one-year, $6 million option for Colin Rea for 2026. They’re going to keep him for next year, but on a different deal: So that’s a slight increase in his 2026 salary from the previous option year, and if Rea does well enough in 2026, the team can keep him for 2027 […]
It’s news in the sense that it is a transaction that today occurred, but this is one of those transactions that was always going to occur.
Justin Turner is a free agent:
As expected, Justin Turner has become a free-agent. That means the Cubs declined his $10M team option for '26, in favor of the $2M buyout. — Jordan Bastian (@bastianmlb.bsky.social) 2025-11-06T15:04:13.790Z
When the Cubs signed Turner to join their bench last year, the contract’s structure may have inc...
Let’s shift gears a bit here and talk about the exact sort of free agent Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer seems to like to go after. Mid-range starter? Check. Injury history? Check. Had some success that could be built on? Sure. Michael King had several good years as a reliever/spot starter for the […]
On Wednesday, the Athletics released their 2026 Spring Training Schedule. The first game is away against the White Sox on Saturday, February 21.

We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. Ryan Brasier, Willi Castro, Aaron Civale, Brad Keller. Drew Pomeranz, Taylor Rogers, Carlos Santana, Mike Soroka, Caleb Thielbar, and Kyle Tucker have declared Free Agency. I’d bring three of them back. Your mileage may vary. The answer from my end is Keller, Pomeranz, Thielbar… with Thielbar […]

1935 After a 22-year career logging a 229-217 record with a 3.84 ERA and 39.7 WAR (180th all-time among pitchers), “Sad” Sam Jones retired. The former Cleveland, Red Sox, Yankees, Browns and Senators player had ended his run with four seasons on the South Side. Jones was a curveball specialist, and while never a consistent […]

A three-game skid ended on Wednesday night in Vancouver as a Tyler Bertuzzi hat trick helped propel the Hawks to a 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Vancouver thought they had a 1-0 lead in the second period when Conor Garland scored, but a successful challenge from the Blackhawks confirmed that Garland pretty clearly cross-checked Spencer Knight prior to the goal, which was disallowed.

Earlier this week, 26-year-old free agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., who had spinal fusion surgery in April, was fully cleared to play football. He plans to take his time and meet with several teams before deciding where to call home for the remainder of the 2025 season. According to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Samuel […]
Remember when the Blackhawks lost to the Canucks at the United Center on Oct. 17 and the refs questionably took a would-be go-ahead goal away from Tyler Bertuzzi even after a lengthy review?
Puck don’t lie. Bertuzzi put together the fourth hat trick of his NHL career to lead a Blackhawks’ third period offensive explosion that ends the Canucks’ dominance of the Blackhawks in recent years.
The game started fast, with a back-and-forth first period ending without a score on either side. ...
