I’m Already Looking at Left Tackle Prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft Class
The moment Ravens pass rusher Mike Green exploded off the edge en route to sacking Bears quarterback Caleb Williams in the first quarter of Chicago’s 30-16 loss on Sunday, I immediately jotted it down as the moment that pushed me to start looking into left tackle prospects who will be eligible for the 2026 NFL Draft. But I let the rest of the game play out because I didn’t want to overreact. While there were moments when Theo Benedet was holding his own on the edge, Nicholas Moreano (Marq...

The four-game winning streak is over, and so is the good vibes tour — at least for a week. The Bears ran into a buzzsaw in Baltimore and dropped a 30-16 decision to the Ravens , and this week’s episode of the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast (presented by Obvious Shirts) is all about unpacking what it means, what matters, and what’s noise. We dig into Caleb Williams’ recent slump and ask the fair question: Is this just a rough patch for a young QB, or the first hint of real long-term concern...

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred Reacts to the Latest Gambling Scandal
Even as the biggest news of late in the sports world is the gambling/rigging/literally-the-mafia-connected NBA scandal , it’s not as if the other major professional sports leagues have been untouched by sports betting-related concerns in recent years. In Major League Baseball, for example, you had the friend and interpreter for the sport’s biggest star going to prison for crimes related to a sports betting operation, funded primarily by stealing from Shohei Ohtani. More recently, Guardian...

The Top 50 MLB Free Agents at The Athletic Feature Plenty of Cubs Mentions
Over at The Athletic today , Jim Bowden ranks the top 50 MLB free agents, together with contract comps, predictions, and potential fits. I will offer my usual caveat: these types of articles can be interesting and informative in a broad sense – giving you a look at the landscape, overviews on players, very rough ideas on contract expectations, etc. You don’t want to take too much away from the specific Cubs mentions, for example, even if it’s interesting to see. To that end, I will say th...
A Caleb Williams Week 8 Progress Report — Is It Time to Worry?
Back-to-back clunker games for Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams don’t have me wanting to pull the plug on this experience, but they are a cause for concern.

Is Ilya Mikheyev the Most Valuable Defensive Wing in the NHL?
On Sunday night, the Blackhawks lost a game to the Los Angeles Kings. Early in the third period, forward Ilya Mikheyev put his speed on display while killing a penalty. He was in the process of creating a potential scoring chance — skating 1-on-3, I might add — when he got tripped. Mikheyev went into the boards hard behind the LA net and left the game. He did not return. Ilya Mikheyev has not taken a shift since sliding into the boards hard here: pic.twitter.com/W4xX1L5UKC — BHF (@B...
Lessons Learned, Keeping the Faith, What Happened on that Blown OPI Call? And Other Bears Bullets
If you are still trying to piece together how that Week 8 Chicago Bears loss happened, just know that you are not alone. All Caleb Williams had to do was outperform Tyler Huntley and the Bears would’ve had a real shot at winning this game. And in the first quarter, he did. But then, the rest of the game happened. It should not sit well with anyone at Halas Hall that the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft was outplayed by a journeyman backup. Granted, Huntley is one of the league’s...
