Admittedly, it is tough to find silver linings after losing to the Packers — again.
But these Ozzy Trapilo numbers from Pro Football Focus ( via Twitter user ImBearingDown ) opened my eyes and put a smile on my face:
91.1 pass blocking grade (best on the team this week!)
54.7 run blocking grade
0 pressures allowed
70.2 overall grade

Don’t get me wrong, I’d have liked to beat the Green Bay Packers. Would have loved nothing more than to depart Lambeau last night chanting “Green Bay sucks” with my buddies. But the Bears came up just a play or two short. However, and I don’t really care if this sounds like loser talk, the feeling I had leaving the stadium yesterday and the one I have today is one of optimism.
The Bears lost. But for the second straight game, they went on the road against a legitimate Super Bowl contender...

It’s not a new rumor to say the Chicago Cubs are interested in Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai. They have been connected in multiple reports , and the fit is otherwise quite obvious. You have a Japanese star (Cubs are strong in that area, though have two Japanese players hitting free agency after next season) coming over at age 27 (Cubs, like everyone, prefer pitcher youth if possible), who cannot be attached to draft pick compensation, and you have a club with a need in the front half of their rota...

On Monday afternoon the Blackhawks assigned defenseman Sam Rinzel and forward Landon Slaggert to the Rockford IceHogs.
The Blackhawks did not call anyone up.
The move leaves the Blackhawks with six defensemen on their NHL roster, which means they’ll go back to skating 12 forwards. Which, with Slaggert going to Rockford, also means Sam Lafferty will draw into the lineup until Nick Foligno returns from injury.
Reset time
I advocated for Slaggert to go to Rockford earlier ...

When it comes to any Cubs relief rumors this offseason — like the one we’re about to discuss involving free agent closer Robert Suarez — two caveats apply:
(1) Historically speaking, the Chicago Cubs have come across as borderline allergic to multi-year, big-money deals for free agent relievers, electing instead to build their bullpens on the cheap using internal pitchers, one-year signings, and/or “project/reclamation” arms. And to be fair, it’s mostly worked out for them. However … thin...

As the Washington Nationals continue to reorganize under new baseball president Paul Toboni, we’re increasingly seeing evidence that the team will genuinely consider trading lefty MacKenzie Gore this offseason. Now or at the 2026 Trade Deadline seems likely either way, and since no one knows what might happen to the first part of the 2027 season – the last year Gore would be under control – it’s possible Gore has significantly more value right now than he will in July. Plus, if the Nationals w...

Frank Nazar is on the struggle bus right now for the Chicago Blackhawks. He hasn’t scored a goal since Oct. 28 — a stretch of 17 games. And some fans have extrapolated from his goal scoring woes that he isn’t playing well in other areas of the game.
Since he returned from the injury he suffered in Calgary, Nazar has nine assists in 12 games; he has assists in eight of the 12 games. He’s put 23 shots on net over that span, but none of them have found the back of the net.

The audible groan I let out when Caleb Williams’ final pass landed in the hands of Keisean Nixon (and not Bears tight end Cole Kmet) could have been heard from here to Green Bay. The Chicago Bears quarterback had played so well in the second half. Williams was playing with conviction, making quick reads and good decisions. He also displayed some stellar arm strength. And for a moment late in the fourth quarter, it looked like QB1 was going to author a new chapter in the historic Bears-Packers ...
