It’s been a long summer. Media Day is Monday, marking the start of the new NBA year and I’m ready to stop talking about fake trades and paths not taken and instead, talk about some real basketball. With that in mind, and real basketball on the horizon, there are legitimate reasons to believe the 2023-24 Chicago Bulls will be better…
In Atlanta, the Cubs suffered just a back-breaking sweep at the hands of the Braves. There’s no other way to spin it. They really couldn’t afford to drop all three games, even against the current top seed in Major League Baseball, but that’s what happened. And now, they hit the road to end the season against the team at the…
It’s unofficially the beginning of the Connor Bedard era of Chicago Blackhawks hockey. After being selected first overall in the NHL Draft in June, Bedard’s on-ice debut has been long-awaited by Blackhawks fans and hockey fans alike. While this was not his official NHL debut, which will come on October 10 in Pittsburgh, this was the first time he was…

Things won’t get any easier, either,…
LAKE FOREST — The Chicago Bears’ defense has only one sack this season, a number that ranks them dead last in the NFL. In Sunday’s 41-10 blowout loss to the Chiefs, Matt Eberflus decided the best game plan against Patrick Mahomes was to only send the blitz on 8.3 percent of his dropbacks. The Chiefs’ quarterback threw for 272 yards…
That was absolutely not how Seiya Suzuki and the Cubs thought the eighth inning Tuesday night was going to end. For a second, it looked like Drew Smyly would escape a jam when the Braves’ Sean Murphy hit a routine fly ball to the outfield. Suzuki was ready for the catch, but he later told reporters in Atlanta he momentarily…
The White Sox have been adamant they are not going to enter another rebuild. But with Chris Getz not definitive about contention in 2024 or picking up Tim Anderson’s option, could something that looks an awful lot like a rebuild be possible?
