The Cubs pursuit of free agent closer Craig Kimbrel is real. Ken Rosenthal first reported Saturday that the Cubs were showing interest in the right-hander and then said they were making a hard push for Kimbrel on Wednesday. There are no more penalties or loss of a draft pick attached to signing Kimbrel, plus the […]

In case Chicago Bears fans weren’t already aware, some people out there don’t like Mitch Trubisky. Now look. This is not a puff piece for the young quarterback. He showcased some annoying problems in 2018. He missed too many open receivers and struggled with some erratic decision-making at times. Things that must get cleaned up […]

New Runnin' Rebels coach T.J. Otzelberger has taken the wheel and made his presence felt within the community thanks to the UNLV Basketball Caravan, not to mention a few big "gets" on the recruiting trail.

Let’s fucking go! Get it done, Theo! No loss of a draft pick. No penalty in pool money. Do it. Do it now.

This is great news and a big test for White Sox prospect Nick Madrigal. The fifth ranked prospect in the White Sox minor league system has been promoted to Double-A. The 2018 first round pick had a slow start at Winston-Salem this season, but Madrigal has found his groove during the past month. Overall in […]

Matt Nagy is like an inventor. He likes to add certain things to his collection and tinker with them, seeing if he can get them to do something they couldn’t before. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. The true joy is the process of elimination until the eureka moment of discovery. That is how the […]

Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers are more intertwined than any two former NFL players possibly could be. Despite coming from different backgrounds, they both landed in the same place at the same time. Back-to-back draft picks of the Chicago Bears in 1965, they would go on to define an entire era of football and would […]

A couple years ago a White Sox fan was spotted wearing a #44 Anthony Rizzo WHITE SOX JERSEY! Well, there was either a different fan wearing a White Sox Rizzo jersey or the same abomination has returned. Maybe he’s just secretly a Cubs fan. Don’t mind me, just throwing up over here. hmm, turns out […]

Are you a young baseball player in MLB? Do you wear jewelry? Are you not white? If you check all these boxes then Pirates announcer Steve Blass doesn’t like you. From the man who proclaimed that he didn’t like Javier Báez because of his “flashiness” we got Ronald Acuña Jr. is a prick because of […]

Dick Butkus is mostly remembered for two things. His ferocious playing style that made him the most feared football player who ever lived, and his superb play that made him a Hall of Famer. There’s a reason he’s the only player that has an award named after him at both the college and pro levels. […]

I mean, just look at this thing! I, along with other Cubs fans, have been kind of concerned that Javier Báez’s struggles at the plate have been connected to his heel injury that he suffered against the Nationals a couple weeks ago. But it does look like he’s starting to heat up again and on […]

Imagine thinking you can tell Javier Báez whether he can or can’t score coming around third base. We can smile and laugh now, but after a close play at the plate, Báez scored from first base to tie Tuesday night’s game against the Rockies. Longtime Rockies outfielder Carlos González hit a line drive to center […]

Pro Football Focus is easily the most divisive product close to the NFL these days. They consider themselves purely analytic-based. A group driven by the need for more accurate data on determining good and bad players in the league. Some of the work they do is good, but a lot of it is under intense […]

One would imagine Jim McMahon would be the first to say he’d want to play quarterback in this modern NFL era. Why not? It’s curtailed to his position more than ever before. The rulebook is slanted to gives QBs the maximum chance to excel and they’re making a ridiculous amount of money on top of […]

Nicky Delmonico had an impressive run when he first made his MLB debut with the White Sox in 2017. He had a .855 OPS in 43 games, but unfortunately things haven’t gone his way since. He suffered a concussion back in spring training, but did get called up earlier this year. However, the left-handed hitting […]

If you look back at the free agent signings for the White Sox this past offseason it’s been a net gain, right? I mean, yeah, signing Kelvin Herrera when he’s been on the decline to a two-year deal wasn’t the brightest idea, but it looks like Rick Hahn struck gold with catcher James McCann. And […]

Luis Robert is putting up better numbers in AA than Eloy Jimenez ever did...
