Around The NBA: DeRozan’s Future, a New York Holiday? Kuminga Staying? Lakers Trying, More
With lots of teams set to have more significant draft and more open-ended roster situations over the summer, it appears that this season’s Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline next week could be a bit more muted than it has been in years past. Yes, Trae Young is already elsewhere (more on him later). But it seems quite possible that changes of scenery for other All-Stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo , Zion Williamson and Ja Morant could all happen over the summer or beyond. The league’s best clubs may...

Arturas Karnisovas Now Looking To Build Around Bulls ‘Core’ With Deadline Trades? Really?!
Earlier this month, Chicago Bulls team president Arturas Karnisovas was apparently poised to make his squad the Eastern Conference’s “biggest sellers” at this season’s Feb. 5 trade deadline. This week, the Bulls are… going to be buyers? This is the kind of overreaction that one can expect out of the least competent current front office leader this side of maybe Kings GM Scott Perry, who apparently has been inspired by Chicago’s recent four-game win streak to jettison assets and equity in ...

SGA Tops Luka Doncic for NBA MVP Odds with February A Few Days Away
As we head into February, the season and race for the NBA MVP has reached full speed where the true heavyweights begin to distance themselves from the pack. The conversation has shifted from early-season intrigue to a high-speed chase, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander currently way out front. However, the rearview mirror is crowded with players like Luka Doncic, who continues to produce logic-defying stat lines, and Cade Cunningham, one of the rising stars of the league. In a field this t...

Want to See What It’s Like to Train with Alex Bregman?
Fun video today from Eric Sim, a former Giants minor leaguer who has since made a name for himself in the baseball-connected content world.

Primarily, it’s just entertaining to watch, but it does also give you a little behind-the-scenes look at what someone like Alex Bregman is doing to stay in top baseball...
NFL Insider Mock Draft Has Bears Going Defense in Round 1 (But Not the Position You’d Expect)
Our Chicago Bears mock draft stories will certainly look different this year, that much we know. Because unlike previous seasons where we have been looking at what prospects land in the top-10, Chicago’s pick isn’t until No. 25. Regardless of where the Bears are at on draft night, NFL Network draft guru Daniel Jeremiah sharing his first 2026 NFL Mock Draft will always grab my attention. And when it comes to the pick he sends to Chicago, my interest is definitely piqued. Because with ...

Another Top-100 Prospects List Looks Might Familiar for the Chicago Cubs
Although Keith Law’s pre-season top-100 prospect list had a totally different look as far as Chicago Cubs prospects go, we’re back to the version we’ve now see a couple times before already ( MLB Pipeline and Baseball America ). This time, it’s ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel who ranks just two Cubs prospects in the top-100, and they’re the two you’d most expect: 51. Moises Ballesteros, C 83. Jaxon Wiggins, RHP And that’s it. You already know the story by now with Ballesteros, who’d ...
NFL Coaching Carousel: Teams With New Head Coaches, Three Openings Remain
At one point, there were as many as 10 head coaching jobs available around the NFL, making this one of the busiest NFL coaching carousel cycles in recent memory. With the Super Bowl matchup now set, the carousel is still spinning — but the music is slowing, and there are only a few chairs left. Several franchises have already made their hires, opting for stability, familiarity, or clear philosophical alignment. Others remain in wait-and-see mode, weighing finalists while monitoring how th...
Blackhawks at Wild — Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread
After a less-than-ideal performance on Sunday evening on home ice, the Blackhawks get a quick two-game trip that starts with their first look at Quinn Hughes on the Minnesota Wild. The Wild come in only 4-4-2 in their last 10 games and locked into a heated battle with Dallas for home ice in the Central Division’s 2-3 matchup in the first round of the playoffs. The Blackhawks threw their lines in a blender on Monday, so tonight will be an experiment with the healthiest roster they’ve had i...
Chicago Cubs Reportedly Sign Big Righty Gabe Klobosits
The Chicago Cubs have once again built up an impressive stable of reclamation arms to work with this spring, but they are never satisfied on that front. If there’s a guy they like out there and he wants to come work at the Cubs’ Pitch Lab, well, doggone it, the Cubs will find room at the inn. The latest signing is big righty Gabe Klobosits, who has pitched the last couple years in independent ball (mostly dominating): Sources: RHP Gabe Klobosits and the #Cubs have agreed to a minor l...
Horace Grant Jumps Into the Media Game (and He’s Working with Phil, Scottie and More)
It’s been a blast-from-the-past kind of week in Chicago. From Derrick Rose returning to the city to a wave of former Bulls reuniting in the Windy City, the nostalgia meter if going off. Now, another familiar face from one of basketball’s most iconic eras is stepping back into the spotlight, this time in a very different way. Congrats to the Chicago Bulls Ring of Honor Class of 2025 🏆 Bill Cartwright John Paxson Horace Grant Johnny Bach Norm Van Lier Neil Funk pic.twitter.com/1FbC7A94gq ...

Eric Studesville is a Name to “Keep an Eye On” in Bears Search For New RBs Coach
The Tribune’s Brad Biggs offering up Eric Studesville as “a name to keep an eye on” in the Chicago Bears search for a new running backs coach certainly caught my attention. With the Kansas City Chiefs hiring Eric Bieniemy to be the team’s new offensive coordinator , Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson is on the hunt for a new running backs coach. Perhaps he could turn to someone he is familiar with from his early coaching days. This tweet from Biggsy certainly caught my attention: ...
Josh Allen Has a New Head Coach — It’s Joe Brady
The Buffalo Bills are turning to a first-team head coach to help lead MVP quarterback Josh Allen to the promised land. And for what it’s worth, it is a familiar face, too.

Here is the news: The Bills explored options, but they stay in-house: Joe Brady has agreed to become the next head coach of the Bills. https://t.co/nYewf4b5bI — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelisser...

Nico Hoerner, Criminally Underrated Sometimes
When MLB Network unveiled its top-100 players “right now” list, there was really only one thing that stood out to me, and any other Cubs-adjacent person with a functioning brain. We looked and looked and looked and could not find a bizarrely missing name: Nico Hoerner was inexplicably not on there.
