When NBC took over the Sunday Night Baseball franchise from ESPN this year, one thing they did differently was put out a schedule for the entire season.

The Yankees are finally on a little hot streak to counterbalance the awful stretch they played early in the month, winning their fifth game in six tries as they took down the White Sox for the second straight day.

I was concerned about the Chicago Bears’ offensive line after Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman retired, but after thinking about how Ben Johnson schemed around their left tackle problems, and how Dan Rouschar coached this group up in 2025, I’m not worried.
