The Chicago Bears haven’t confirmed anything publicly regarding the #1 pick, only that they are staying put and taking a quarterback. Everybody assumes it will be Caleb Williams of USC, but GM Ryan Poles made sure to insist no decision was made. Lots of evaluation was left undone. Now, weeks later, it appears the Bears […]

GM Ryan Poles has done quite the job constructing the Chicago Bears offense over the past two years. He added playmakers like D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen, and D’Andre Swift. His offensive line features two young and reliable tackles. They replaced Luke Getsy with a more experienced offensive coordinator, Shane Waldron. It isn’t perfect, but all […]

Some serious buzz has made the rounds ahead of the NFL draft for the past week or so. It centers around the idea that Marvin Harrison Jr., the Ohio State star wide receiver, is trying to hurt his stock enough to slip in the 1st round. His endgame is finding a way to join the […]

Danny Mendick has now homered in five straight games for the AAA Charlotte Knights. Yes, that Danny Mendick. The 30-year-old infielder ranks second in the International League in home runs and OPS, trailing only top Orioles prospect Heston Kjerstad for the league lead. A minor league signing by the White Sox this past February, Mendick […]

Championship quarterbacks always come in different shapes and sizes. Some are massive, pocket-oriented guys like Peyton Manning. Others are elusive playmakers like John Elway and Steve Young. There is more than one way to be successful in the NFL at that position. Yet one common thread exists between those who raise the Lombardi trophy. They […]

Tim Anderson struck out on an 83mph splitter from Shōta Imanaga in the sixth inning of Saturday night’s game and the Miami Marlins shortstop was not happy with the crowd at Wrigley Field. He had been booed and Anderson gave it right back to Chicago Cubs fans, jawing back at them after striking out, emphatically […]

It’s a crime that Craig Counsell didn’t have Cody Bellinger in the lineup in game one of Saturday’s double header and yes I understand that it’s because the Miami Marlins had a tough lefty pitching, but Counsell deprived us of two games with a Belli bomb. C’mon, of course Cody Bellinger was going to hit […]

When it became clear the Chicago Bears were going to clinch the #1 overall pick in the 2024 draft, everybody knew that put them on a collision course with Caleb Williams. While other quarterbacks had outside shots at taking the spot, the former Heisman winner was the heavy favorite. That hasn’t changed. What did change […]

He’s been good in the past, I think he’ll be all right later this season, but the Chicago Cubs have a massive problem because Adbert Alzolay is just not the guy to be the closer for this team. He just blew his fourth save of the season as teams continue to hammer Alzolay’s mistakes. The […]

Five days from now the rumors will finally die. The first round of the 2024 draft will be upon us. Until then we must endure. Another prominent reporter (avoiding the term insider) has pushed another scenario. In this instance, NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah, host of the Move The Sticks podcast suggests the Bears move up […]
