Drake Maye and Caleb Williams both won 2025–in their own way

I’m well aware of the fact that, in sports, there is almost always a winner and a loser. (Heard that in Ace Ventura’s voice.) But as someone who considers themselves a big fan of both Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and New England Patriots signal-caller Drake Maye, I’m not feeling like picking sides anymore. Seriously. […]

The Bears Draft: How Good Gets Better

Year one of the Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson pairing is in the books, and it was arguably better than anyone realistically thought it could be.
