Bears gonna sign Big Mike? or Benji?

It appears the Cardinals are committed to chalking 2025, with one of the most tepid offseasons in all of MLB so far. Starting to feel more excited for the Sox this summer, at least they can only trend up and at least are pretending to care about near-term improvement

When is Durbin announcing he is retiring after the end of this term?

“The new year” is 2 and a half weeks old already.

I think Mike McCarthy is the right coach for the Bears given the state they are in, so I fully expect them to go with some no-name DC.

Not expecting anything until March.

Loving this heat wave here in beautiful DuPage County today. Subzero stuff on the way this weekend, apparently, but this is great for now.

Not sure if it’s true, but Mr. Baseball Bob Uecker was born in Illinois.

I would suggest you watch if you need a smile today. He is going to be missed.

Bears: I have no hope of them making a good coach choice with Poles involved as the power behind the family throne.
Weather: At least it got warmer for my first bus ride in about 40 years.

McCarthy is the worst - boring scheme, boring personality, atrocious in-game management. Just the right guy to get them to 9-8 and miss the playoffs on annual basis. I expect him to be announced any minute.
