People in the media love controversy and it seems the Chicago Bears find themselves in one each week. That tends to happen when this team loses in heartbreaking fashion like they did last Sunday. One that saw them miss what would’ve been a game-winning field goal to fall 17-16. A rather fitting end considering they […]

Players aren’t being signed or traded yet, but so far Theo Epstein’s comments about things changing with the Cubs is true up and down the organization. Even before the season was over Jason McLeod was moved from the amateur scouting department and the team completely shuffled up its player development department, implementing new hitting and […]

The Bears-Eagles game was supposed to be a titanic rematch of one of the best playoff matchups from last season. A chance for Chicago to get a measure of revenge after their heartbreaking Double Doink ending. However, it doesn’t feel like that is in the cards. The Bears are 3-4 and the Eagles are 4-4. […]

It seems the shine is off the apple for Matt Nagy now. After going 12-4 his first year, the young Chicago Bears head coach is under the gun more than ever in 2019. Not only is his team 3-4, but his vaunted offense is also among the worst in the NFL in both yards gained […]

A few more coaching changes have been confirmed for the Cubs, as 670 The Score’s Bruce Levine has reported that Brian Butterfield and Tim Buss will leave to join Joe Maddon with the Angels. Butterfield was hired as the Cubs third base coach to begin the 2018 season. Before coming to Chicago he was Boston’s […]

On the first day of the offseason for all 30 MLB teams the White Sox made a few roster moves, doing some housekeeping on their 40-man roster and saving $500k by trading away catcher Welington Castillo. Thursday was also the official start of free agency, as 131 players across the league declared for free agency. […]

Back in the summer, when Bears fans could still be optimistic about the team being Super Bowl contenders, people all across the country were betting on Mitch Trubisky to win MVP. His odds were as low as 200-1 to 100-1. Basically, for every dollar you bet you’d get $200 or $100 back depending on where […]

Let’s just get this out of the way. Ryan Pace messed up. He had a chance to finally end the Chicago Bears’ ongoing curse at quarterback in 2017 and he blew it. He had his choice of three notable quarterbacks and somehow managed to pick the wrong one in Mitch Trubisky. While he continues to […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates don’t have a GM right now, but the writing is on the wall. They’re going to rebuild. Since Jake Arrieta slashed any championship aspirations by the Pirates in 2015, Pittsburgh has only been above .500 once and hasn’t returned to the postseason. After the 2019 season, the Pirates fired manager Clint Hurdle […]

Ben Zobrist spent most of the 2019 season away from baseball, dealing with family issues and it’s fair to say that most fans assumed the 38-year-old would call it a career after playing in 14 MLB seasons. The switch-hitting, two-time World Series winner is now a free agent, but it doesn’t sound like Zobrist is […]

David Ross officially became the newest Cubs manager on Monday and although there weren’t any groundbreaking takeaways from his introductory press conference we did learn that the team wants a veteran coach next to the first-time manager. By all accounts Ross will be the one deciding who’s on his coaching staff in 2020 and the […]

So, after the Cubs let everyone know that Joe Maddon wasn’t going to return as the manager in 2020, both sides painted the breakup as a mutual decision. A win-win for both sides. Yet, in a recent interview with Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Maddon wanted to make it pretty clear that the […]

I was thinking about this a few days after the regular season ended and despite having a pretty decent memory I completely forgot about some of these guys playing for the 2019 Cubs. Even when I did remember Carlos González, I couldn’t even correctly remember one of his two biggest plays with the Cubs. Indeed, […]

One thing that people may forget about the glory era of the 1980s for Chicago Bears football? As popular as Mike Ditka became with fans as “Da Coach,” the reality was far different in the locker room. Things were fine for the first few years. However, as the team stampeded towards their Super Bowl championship […]
