Nobody knew who Ruben Hyppolite was when the Chicago Bears drafted him. Fans had believed the team would focus on areas of need to start the third day of the draft. Running back still hadn't been addressed. They had questions at edge rusher. So, for GM Ryan Poles to select a linebacker that several...
The Chicago Bears have assembled an exciting roster in almost every facet. Their offense has a rebuilt front line led by two Pro Bowl guards. Colston Loveland, Luther Burden, and Olamide Zacchaeus add more juice to their arsenal of weapons around Caleb Williams. On defense, they fortified their...
DeMar DeRozan is gone. Zach LaVine is gone. Alex Caruso is gone. Lonzo Ball is gone. The Chicago Bulls have been slowly dismantling the core that briefly made their team look like a contender a few years ago. Arturas Karnisovas is under constant ridicule for how he's handled it. Even so, the...
Part of being a good team is never being satisfied with the status quo. There should always be a sense of urgency to get better. It feels like this new coaching staff has pushed the Chicago Bears to adopt that mentality. It is why they didn't focus their efforts purely on the positions of need in...
There isn't much in the way of Chicago Bears news this time of year. That is the nature of the NFL. There is a two-month window where nothing happens. Players get a vacation. Coaches get time to formulate their plans for training camp and the season. By the end of July, everybody is fresh and ready...
Turning this team into a winner hasn't been easy. Rebuilds never are. Everyone agrees the Chicago Blackhawks have built one of the deepest farm systems in professional hockey. They have a pillar player in Connor Bedard to build around. The issue is that all the talent they've been assembling hasn't...
The Chicago Bears haven't made any notable moves since May. They let head coach Ben Johnson use OTAs and minicamps to assess where the roster is going into the summer. GM Ryan Poles usually makes one or two moves once training camp approaches in late July. People have speculated what the Bears...
Nothing is more important in the modern NFL than the relationship between the head coach and quarterback. If those two aren't on the same page, nothing else matters. They need to have the same mindset about what it takes to win. The coach needs a plan for how to build around the quarterback to get...
One of the biggest challenges of team building is understanding prospect value in a draft. That means getting players later on the board than they probably should've gone. This isn't just true of the NHL draft; it spans all professional sports. Teams that take advantage of value often have the most...
The Chicago Blackhawks set the tone in the 2025 NHL draft early. They wanted to swing big, literally and figuratively. GM Kyle Davidson aimed to take some big hacks in the 1st round on prospects with significant upside. It started with the #3 overall pick. Rather than opt for a safer selection, the...
Ben Johnson isn't expected to take the Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl. That is hardly a surprise. He's inheriting a team that just went 5-12 last season. He has a young quarterback he needs to fix and an offense to overhaul. Still, one would think that after his accomplishments in Detroit, he'd...
Lonzo Ball has become the latest of the old guard shipped out by the Chicago Bulls. It is such a depressing affair. For the shortest period of time, it felt like the organization had something real in place. Ball, DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, Alex Caruso, and Nikola Vucevic formed a strong core that...
