Last night, while the Bears were engineering one of the greatest playoff comebacks in league history, the Chicago Cubs were making one of the biggest free agent signings in franchise history, handing Alex Bregman a five-year, $175 million deal, complete with a full no-trade clause and something like $70 million in deferrrals (bringing the present day value of the contract down to around $150M).
We got into the signing last night , the deferral details this morning , and the celebratory re...

What a night!
On January 10, the Chicago Bulls, the Blackhawks , the Cubs , and the Bears all grabbed a win of their own. The city is riding a wave of euphoria it doesn’t quite know how to handle, but it’s handling it with a lot of smiles and plenty of flexing on social media. I don’t know about you, but the way the Bulls won last night was the real surprise.
What a 2-hour span for the Windy City. Have yourself a night, Chicago! 🤩 pic.twitter.com/DLENZKgNmx — SportsCenter (@S...

Where do you even start after a night like that?
There I was, sitting in my basement, stewing as I watched the Chicago Bears enter the fourth quarter with an 18-point deficit against the one team whose seemingly inevitable win could really spoil what was otherwise an incredible season for the franchise … when BANG, the alert hits: The Cubs have signed free agent 3B Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million deal .
I sprint upstairs to my computer and start typing, grateful the Cubs sa...

There was plenty of buzz last night about former Falcons coach Matt LaFleur potentially losing his job after his Green Bay Packers collapsed against the Chicago Bears, and whether the Falcons would scoop him up if that happened. While that collapse was in progress, however, the Falcons were announcing they had interviewed another former coach. […]

Saturday night at Soldier Field belonged to Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland.
In the Bears’ wild-card win over the Green Bay Packers , the rookie tight end delivered one of the most productive postseason performances the position has ever seen — not just in Chicago, but across the league. Loveland caught 8 passes for 137 yards, averaging 17.1 yards per reception, and became the first rookie tight end in NFL history to record 8-plus receptions and 100-plus receiving yards in a playo...

The NFL showed on Saturday why they’re the best league in professional American sports. Both Wild Card games were phenomenal, and the dramatic finishes in each game were jaw-dropping. But let’s put aside the thrilling Rams vs. Panthers finish, because the nightcap was far more interesting to Detroit Lions fans. The Chicago Bears somehow mounted […]

The New England Patriots will not enter the NFL playoffs until Sunday night, but they already played a role on Saturday as well — at least indirectly.

Last month, when the Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers on a Caleb Williams to DJ Moore walk-off 46-yard touchdown pass in overtime, the Packers and their fans were ticked off at DJ’s headgear in the postgame celebration. Moore was again at the center of an improbable comeback, this time with his 25-yard go-ahead […]

During the Chicago Bears’ 31- 27 win over the Green Bay Packers, they lost a couple of starters to injury. Linebacker T.J. Edwards had to be carted off the field in the final minute of the half, and left tackle Ozzy Trapillo hopped to the sideline in the waning moments of the fourth quarter. Ozzy […]

When I found out that all three Chicago teams were playing tonight, I figured at least two would win — but I never would’ve guessed all three and the Bulls would be one of them. In surprisingly dominant fashion, the Bulls joined the Bears in victory even before their game even ended, making Chicago native and Packers fan Anthony Davis sit there and watch both his team get demolished by Chicago.

I’m out of words for that one. But, thankfully, Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson delivered with his “Good, Better, Best” speech after the game.

What? How? In what world?
Much like the last game between these two, the grades needed to be rewritten after the game went final! This game was the Cardiac Bears on steroids. Somehow, some way, the Bears figured out a way to beat the Packers again. The Bears were clutch, the Packers choked, and we’re moving on to the Divisional Round! BEAR DOWN!
