REPORT: Cubs Will Try Again to Extend Pete Crow-Armstrong

In his end-of-season press conference this October, Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer implied that he’d be trying (this offseason) to extend some Cubs players beyond their current term of team control. And while any number of soon-to-be free agents came to mind (most notably, Nico Hoerner, a free agent after 2026), the guy he may have had most in mind is Pete Crow-Armstrong. In case you forgot , the Cubs attempted to extend Pete Crow-Armstrong last spring, juuuuuust before h...

The Bears Got Brian Daboll Fired

The Chicago Bears have gone from getting their own coach fired to causing other teams to launch theirs in less than a calendar year.

It was the fourth game this season in which the G-Men have coughed up a double-digit lead. But make no mistake about it: That loss to the Bears was the straw tha...

Caleb Williams is on Pace to be the Bears’ First 4,000-Yard Passer

Caleb Williams is well on his way to rewriting the Chicago Bears record books. While the Bears are currently the only NFL team without a 4,000-yard passer in its history, Williams is on pace to change the narrative and erase it from the annual preseason storylines that come up each year. Chicago’s QB1 has thrown for 2,136 yards in his first nine games this season. At this pace, Williams projects to throw for 4,035 yards.

As was the case when it was just an MLB investigation, I will be careful to say at the top that everything public about the Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz betting scandal is an allegation . Nothing has yet been admitted or adjudicated as fact, so there remains that sliver of possibility that this has all been some kind of grand misunderstanding. That said, the allegations in the federal indictment against Clase and Ortiz are robust, and appear to the be the product of a pretty extensive in...
