Marc Crawford was retitled as associate coach, cementing his large share of the responsibilities next to Hawks interim coach Derek King. Cookson, 60, brings ample familiarity with the specifics of NHL assistant coaching, having filled that role from 2001 to 2011 with the Flames and from 2016 to 2019 with the Senators. Cookson served as […]
So as they get ready to tangle with the Ravens and quarterback Lamar Jackson, they’d be wise to take a suggestion from one of the NFL’s worst defenses. They did it by relying heavily on Cover-0 and Cover-1, which are highly risky because that number indicates how many defenders are deep in the secondary. He […]
This season, the Bears have been putting Fields through practice drills to improve his accuracy rolling left. In an empty backfield on Nov. He ran that way — directly toward the Steelers bench — from the right hash mark almost to the “0” painted on the left side of the Heinz Field turf at the […]
Will Matt Nagy get Year 2 with Justin Fields? The rookie quarterback, while far from a finished product, looks like the real deal and a player who could be a dangerous weapon against even elite NFL teams in the right hands. The pinpoint throws and escape-artist runs are impressive, but Fields’ fortitude in willing the […]
The lawsuit alleges that Michael Johnston, 38, and his wife Kelly Johnston recorded the nanny and her friend while they were undressing or bathing. Johnston co-founded Audiotree and bought Schubas and Lincoln Hall in 2015 with his father William Johnston, a wealthy investor in Michigan. A judge ordered him to have no contact with the […]
Extra motivation seemed to be an understatement, especially the way they handled Davis on the night. You spend all this time shooting and working on your game, and it’s a little bit different when 7-foot guys are flying at you to block your shot. …Read the full story
In that aspect, just adapting to our current situation without and trying to find ways to win, it was just a good response. ‘‘He’s one of the highest-IQ players I’ve played with since I’ve been in the game,’’ DeRozan said of Caruso. ‘‘You get two guys in a trap, you get two outlets to the […]
The biggest question facing the Bears is:How far can Justin Fields go in the next two months? The Bears have a lot of issues to resolve throughout their roster and the organization itself, but their success next season and beyond hinges hugely on Fields. He has 20 completions of 20-plus yards, whereas the Bears had […]
The team has invested a lot into Jenkins, though, and certainly wants to get a look at him before the season ends. Coach Matt Nagy wouldn’t say Monday whether he’d play on the left side — where the Bears planned for him to start before he underwent back surgery in August — or on the […]
Caruso was a cult hero in Los Angeles, but he credits his experience with the Lakers with teaching him about winning. ‘‘Who in here would win ‘Squid Game’?’’ Caruso said, referring to the Netflix series, while taking one more glance at a handful of the younger players getting a scrimmage in. So returning to Los […]
With Justin Fields in place as the starting QB, the Bears’ arrow should be pointing up heading into 2022. On first-and-20 early in the second quarter against the Bengals in Week 2 at Soldier Field, Dalton dropped back, escaped pressure, found a swath of running room to his right and scooted toward the sideline for […]
Your mind is busy and active! Therefore, this is a gentle warning not to overlook important details, especially about banking or issues related to inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt. Although this can create a fun, electric mood in conversations, it can also lend to erratic, hasty decisions. Meanwhile, new faces, new places and new […]
Bulls guard Zach LaVine is all too familiar with opposing defenses doing all they can to make his teammates have to carry the offensive load, from using box-and-ones to double-teams to blitzing him on pick-and-rolls. With the Bulls playing without center Nikola Vucevic on Friday, the Warriors turned back the clock and used a game […]
On Friday, the Bulls were still processing All-Star center Nikola Vucevic’s positive test for the coronavirus on Thursday, which immediately sent him into the NBA’s health and safety protocol. “Obviously, , he was getting his rhythm back and everything like that. From a basketball standpoint, the Bulls plan to handle Vucevic’s absence with a mix-and-match […]
Many Bears fans hadn’t even heard of Cassius Marsh before the team’s 29-27 loss Monday to the Steelers in Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, this from @dabigdog6: “There is a discipline problem on the team, and it starts with Matt Nagy.” Come to think of it, Nagy might be the only guy who takes more constant abuse than […]
The deal, valued at $1 billion according to Crain’s Chicago Business, means the Pissios family of Chicago will no longer control the studio space they founded in 2011 with the aid of millions of dollars in state grants. The release does not mention any role for Cinespace President and CEO Alex Pissios, whose run as […]
It’s clear that the Bears got it right when they picked quarterback Justin Fields in the first round this year. With the Bears sitting 3-6, the deepest under water they’ve been during Matt Nagy’s time as coach, the rest of this season is essentially a runway to the future. Set aside for a moment that […]
The Hawks requested the two parties agree to use a third-party mediator to determine a settlement — their second time requesting mediation, having also done so in a letter preceding the Nov. The Hawks, in the letter, offered to pay for the mediation and to make Danny Wirtz and chairman Rocky Wirtz present at it. […]
CARLSBAD, Calif. Echoing what teammates and management already have said, the Astros had the upper hand on the Sox in the AL Division Series because of experience, which Hendriks would like to see added to the roster this offseason. “Our offense was great, our pitching was great the entire season,” Hendriks said. “A lot of […]
