General manager Ryan Pace cut left tackle Charles Leno in favor of a rookie — and then, when he got hurt, a 39-year-old — and for, some reason, brought back tight end Jimmy Graham. But the rookie quarterback has a hand in the Bears’ problems, too. Fields has been pressured within three seconds of the […]
In nearly three decades of coaching in high school, college and the pros, that was Tabor’s one season as head coach. The Wildcats went 6-5 in NAIA play, putting up their first winning season in 25 years, and broke the school record for points in a season. Nagy said Wednesday he had no idea how […]
To pass him, 49ers coach-slash-offensive-wunderkind Kyle Shanahan, whose career record is 31-39, would have to win his next 20 games. …Read the full story
Toews recalled hearing the story from a “bunch of guys” talking outside the Sutton Place Hotel on the Near North Side, where the Hawks were holding a meeting before the start of their 2010-11 training camp. I thought Brad being let go or resigning from the organization was the way that it was dealt with. […]
“Not that it was a joke, but it was something that wasn’t taken super seriously at the time,” Toews said. “To me, Stan and Al, make any argument you want, they’re not directly complicit in the activities that happened,” Toews said. …Read the full story
Rookie offensive tackle Larry Borom returned to practice Wednesday after spending six weeks on injured reserve with an ankle injury. “That’s one of the things that will be good for us to evaluate and see where he’s at, both mentally and physically,” Nagy said. When Peters suffered an injury in the opener against the Rams, […]
By true coincidence, this week marks the release of limited dramatic series based on the lives of Durant and Kaepernick — but each show is set approximately two decades in the past, chronicling the journeys of a young basketball phenom in the Washington, D.C., area and a two-sport athlete in northern California. The 10-part Apple […]
It now has become clear the immorality and irresponsibility of team executives at the time ruined Beach’s career themselves through their inaction. “When they won paraded around, lifting a Cup at the parade, at the team pictures, at the celebrations, it made me feel like nothing,” Beach said. Beach was a Black Ace for the […]
One of the fundamental flaws of Matt Nagy anointing Andy Dalton his unquestioned starter in the spring is that Dalton — not rookie Justin Fields — got to spend all OTAs and training camp running plays with the first-string receivers. Allen Robinson looks nothing like his former self — he’s averaging roughly half as many […]
The final wrecking ball that smashed through the Hawks on Tuesday demolished the last walls standing from the once-golden castle the organization represented and inhabited. Overmatched defenseman Seth Jones’ eight-year, $76 million contract doesn’t kick in until next season. At this point, however, the Hawks might need to retain Colliton just to keep any semblance […]
The Bears respect the three-time Defensive Player of the Year but look forward to seeing how they match up with the best. …Read the full story
After hitting his 39th and 40th home runs of the season against Reynaldo Lopez and Michael Kopech and driving in five runs, Perez was no match for Kimbrel, called on by manager Tony La Russa an inning or two earlier than usual. Kimbrel, who struck out Sebastian Rivero and Royals leadoff man Whit Merrifield before […]
“He’s sending lineups in,” Green said. He’s aware and instrumental in every move that we have from activations to guys coming off the roster. “I don’t care, honestly, the position I sit in,” Green said. In the meantime, Green said that the increased safety measures that went into place Friday will continue. Kyle Hendricks fanned […]
It was brought to White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito’s attention that Wednesday will be the first anniversary of the no-hitter he pitched against the Pirates, a masterful 13-strikeout, one-walk performance in a 4-0 victory last Aug. A lot of elite pitchers who have been around awhile are, like, ‘I want to get one of those.’ […]
Without their leadoff man and spark plug, the Sox lost for the second time in two games after Anderson had carried them to a riveting victory Friday night. Danny Mendick started at shortstop for the second straight game and had two of the Sox’ seven hits against five pitchers. On Friday, Anderson hit a tying […]
No, Chicago isn’t Miami or Los Angeles and likely never will be. ‘‘Obviously, the core,’’ four-time All-Star forward DeMar DeRozan said when he was asked Friday what sold him on joining the Bulls. ‘‘And once Lonzo signed, that made it even more appealing. And coming to this organization, seeing him having that opportunity for the […]
With four other players on “load management” days — linebackers Khalil Mack and Danny Trevathan, defensive end Akiem Hicks and tight end Jimmy Graham — the Bears had 21 players who did not participate Saturday. “It’s nice even when we get off the field — he comes in and we watch some tape,” Nagy said. […]
They don’t all look the same, but every win counts the same in the standings. Instead, Cubs shortstop Andrew Romine hit his first home run in four years, a three-run shot that tied the game. After Kimbrel’s rough eighth inning, Hendriks got four outs to get the Sox to extra innings. The Sox bats didn’t […]
A two-out, two-run double by Emmanuel Rivera in the first inning put Keuchel in a hole, but he deserved better. Trying to prevent the Sox from falling to 9-11 since the All-Star break, Keuchel did his part. Keuchel, 33, the 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner and the only Sox starter not taking extra rest […]
