It’s been quite the few days for the Chicago Bears.

The Detroit Lions (8-7) dropped another game to an opponent they were expected to handle at home, losing 29-24 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16.

About a decade ago, the Pittsburgh Pirates surprisingly signed Korean star infielder Jung-Ho Kang to a tiny four-year, $11 million deal after winning his posting with a mere $5 million bid (that’s how it worked back then). It was unclear just how good he might be in MLB, and obviously teams were wary. So the Pirates kinda came out of nowhere, and nabbed him. Kang went on to be kind of a monster his first two years in MLB, before derailing his career with legal troubles . From Japan, the P...
With the Bears having already handled business on Saturday, I started watching “Severance” at the suggestion of a new friend. The early returns have me intrigued, even if I realized quickly that it might not be the best show for me to watch on an eerily quiet night in the neighborhood because of its mind-bending plot. Anyway, I’m always open to new show suggestions. Bonus points if they’re funny and I can watch as background noise. Let’s start this BN Bears Bullets with a celebration me...

The Pittsburgh Penguins snapped a couple of losing streaks on Sunday night with their 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens.

The Blackhawks were off yesterday, things are bad here, and the Blackhawks don’t play again until tomorrow. So I want to start our Monday with some respect for an all-time great making history on Sunday. Sidney Crosby had two points on Sunday. The second, an assist on a power-play goal by Rickard Rakell at 12:40 of the first period, gave him 1,724 points (645 goals, 1,079 assists). That’s one point more than Mario Lemieux, and now the most points in Pittsburgh Penguins history. Hocke...
Thanks to the Steelers beating the Lions, the Bears have CLINCHED a playoff spot for the first time in five years. I want that top seed, though … I’m greedy … So, after all that silence, Munetaka Murakami winds up getting just two years and $34 million total from the Chicago White Sox. Oof. The writing was really on the wall about the size of the contract when the puff piece about Murakami maybe-being-the-next-Kyle-Schwarber came out. That was a tell that the previously-projected seven-...
