When asked what has carried this team since the spring, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams didn’t hesitate to credit his head coach.
“I think it starts with coach and what he told us he was going to be for us and how consistent he was and how consistent he is,” Williams said. “And then, from there, it’s just the things that he provided us that ultimately are going to help us win. The details, the discipline, and all those things … that’s something that he put up this morning is alwa...

Because the needs at the front of the rotation are so acute, and because the pitching market is relatively much stronger than the positional market, it seems unlikely that the Cubs will splurge on a big-name bat this offseason like Alex Bregman.
That isn’t to say the Cubs couldn’t benefit from a short-term upgrade or two on the offense, but, if you’re choosing from among the areas where the Cubs could get the most bang for their free agent buck, it’s the rotation and the bullpen first. Th...

The second installment of the Chicago Bears injury report ahead of the team’s Week 14 showdown against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field is out. And while there is some good news regarding rookie running back Kyle Monangai, seeing that second-year wide receiver Rome Odunze missed a second consecutive practice is concerning.

I find myself gearing up at another level for this week’s Bears-Packers game now that we have reached the other side of Hump Day.
And for me, that means I’m diving into what Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson has to say about his team’s upcoming opponent.
For the record, I do not like saying nice things about the Green Bay Packers. They are the bane of my football existence, and I know I’m not the only Bears fan who feels that way. That team has caused me pigskin heartbreak more times than...

Yesterday, we learned that the Chicago Cubs were in the running for free agent starting pitcher Dylan Cease … right up until his total commitment approached the $200 million mark. Whether that makes you feel any better about the Cubs payroll/financial intentions this offseason is up to you, but I won’t blame the skeptics among us. Even after Bruce Levine confirmed the Cubs’ involvement in the process ( they were reportedly one of seven teams bidding on Cease ), we know talk is cheap.

I can’t believe I’m writing this, but according to a report on Thursday morning, Bucks’ superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo inquired about potentially playing for the Bulls , but the Bulls’ front office was not interested.
It’s only one report, and it’s from FOX Chicago’s Lou Canellis , who, while very much plugged into the city, is not an NBA Insider. But wow. For as annoyed as I am by this report, part of me can’t say I’d be totally surprised if it were true. Here was the quote from Canelli...
