Use the power of the pay cut

We've come across a little used option this past week. We need to use it more. J'Marcus Webb, having lost his starting right tackle job, has agreed to take a...
Bag Boy has seen enough of J'Marcus Webb with the Bears. He probably isn't the only one, either.

Untangle this Webb, please

Please join me as we bow our heads. We are acknowledging the close of the J'Marcus Webb era in Chicago. Painfully inadequate, he made up for it by being a...
Whoa, the Bears actually signed a tight end who can catch!

You might actually like the new Bears

Hard to believe, but we have ourselves a football game Friday. Normally the first preseason game is an opportunity for the Bears to roll out the same old same old,...
Somehow, Alex Rios is still with the White Sox this season.

A cure for Chicago baseball ills?

Some good news regarding the remaining baseball season: Gov. Quinn has announced the signing of the medical marijuana bill here in Illinois. Unless I'm mistaken, that means your doctor can...

Football’s just in time

Guess what day it is! Guess what day it is! Training Camp Day is here. First day of practice-open to the public at 9 a.m. Denim shorts and tube socks...

Things will be better in 2015*

Congratulations, you've almost made it to football season. To get you through the last stretch of unwatchable baseball, I'm going to tease you with a special "visions of the future"...
Golf season is halfway through its major schedule this year, with two remaining big tournaments, and <a class="runtimeTopic" data-topic-id="PESPT008527" href="#">Tiger Woods</a> hasn't won either this year, so most probably can't name who actually did. Here, I'll help: <a class="runtimeTopic" data-topic-id="PESPT0000010642" href="#">Adam Scott</a> and <a class="runtimeTopic" data-topic-id="PESPT0000010640" href="#">Justin Rose</a>. But the <a class="runtimeTopic" data-topic-id="15007111" href="#">PGA Tour</a>'s popularity, understandably so, is tied up in Woods, who has been in contention during majors this year. Will Tiger win the British Open? We'll see—he hasn't played much since the <a class="runtimeTopic" data-topic-id="EVSPR000018" href="#">U.S. Open</a> in June, and Muirfield, which hosts the 2013 British, hasn't been kind to him in the past. But the unorthodox courses across the pond do weird things to people, and that might be what he needs.

Pick up the phone, baseball GMs

See, here's where they get you. For the Cubs and Sox, it's pretty apparent the sale of the year is here. Everyone must go, and for the Cubs, that means...
Yup. Slammin' Sammy kept the lights on at Wrigley for several years due to his record-breaking home-run chase with Mark McGwire. You can't separate him from Cubs history, however much you might want to.

Nowhere for Chicago baseball to hide

First off, some very good news. As of today, there are about 35 days until football preseason games get started. 35 days! That's a walk in the park! Heck, CEOs...
Blackhawks center Andrew Shaw reacts as his goal is disallowed during the third period of Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Western Conference semifinal against the Detroit Red Wings. The Hawks would go on to drop Game 3, 3-1.

Don’t blow this dynasty, Blackhawks

Enjoy your parade, Chicago, because it's back to work after today. I want you all to enjoy Lord Stanley Bowman's Cup as it's paraded around downtown today—yes, this has been...
