Cody Whitehair was never supposed to be a center. He was a left tackle during his productive career at Kansas State. When the Chicago Bears drafted him in the 2nd round back in 2016, the plan had been for him to slide inside to left guard. There he would play next to Hroniss Grasu who […]

For the past three decades, the Green Bay Packers were considered the model franchise of the NFL. They had Hall of Fame quarterbacks, steadiness at the head coaching position, and were constantly in the playoffs. The only controversy that the team ever encountered was the Brett Favre retirement fiasco, which wasn’t the fault of the […]

Watching Tyler Chatwood walk the tight-rope when he pitches isn’t really the most soothing experience as a Cubs fan, but at least you don’t have to try and block any of his wild pitches. Trying to get in front of a breaking pitch is one thing, but Willson Contreras blocking a 97mph fastball spiked a […]

The Chicago Bulls Coby White pick in the 2019 NBA draft wasn’t hard to predict. It looked and felt like the coming together of two powerful magnets. A team that was in desperate need of an athletic point guard and a point guard who loved to run a high-octane offensive approach with his strong, diverse […]

First, let’s take a short trip down memory to this past weekend, when Cardinals pitcher Jack Flaherty was thrown out at home against the Mets to end a 8-7 loss. And on Thursday night Flaherty came in to pinch run for Yadier Molina in the bottom of the 11th inning. That was after Molina hit […]

The right-hander took over in the fifth inning and although his command was shaky as a result of the adrenaline pumping through his body, Alzolay […]

Think about this. The University of North Carolina has seen 49 of its players get selected in the 1st round of the NBA draft over the years. No fewer than 12 of those players went to at least one All-Star game in their careers and five of them are in the Basketball Hall of Fame. […]

People can talk about coaching all they want. It’s important. Don’t get that wrong. However, at the end of the day football is no different than any other sport. The most talented teams tend to win championships. If you’re thin on talent, then don’t expect to do much come January. This is why optimism is […]

The Chicago Bears defense is loaded with stars. This is something the city has grown used to over the past several decades. There may be lulls from time to time, but like the ocean tides, they always come back in with a new generation of studs. The 2018 squad proved that with no fewer than […]
