Fred Hoiberg's Disappointing, Forgettable Time With The Bulls Has Come To An End
The Chicago Bulls have fired head coach Fred Hoiberg today, after three full seasons, one playoff series, and a 5-19 start to the 2018-19 campaign. Yes, he was still there....
Bears Take Giants To Overtime With Buzzer-Beating "Philly Special"
It’s been nearly eight months since the Eagles pulled off their brilliant trick play against the Patriots in last year’s Super Bowl, and teams are still having a hard time seeing it coming.

Akiem Hicks Pulls Off Near-Perfect Imitation Of William "The Refrigerator" Perry To Score Fat Guy Touchdown
Clemson showed its ability to pay homage to notable alumnus, William “The Fridge” Perry, by scoring fat guy touchdowns left and right, and now the Chicago Bears are getting in on the fun. The Bears were in an obvious running formation on 4th-and-goal from the one-yard line late in the first half. Wh...
Khalil Mack Unleashed The Long Arm Of Destruction Again
The best pass rushers in the game tend to have a signature move. Deacon Jones had his head slap, Dwight Freeney had his ice-pick spin move, and Khalil Mack has his left arm....
Bears Kicker Cody Parkey Hit The Uprights Four Times In One Game
Bears kicker Cody Parkey missed two field goals and two extra points in Chicago’s 34-22 win over the Lions today. But he didn’t whiff them: He hit the uprights on all four of his misses. (Parkey did successfully convert two extra points.)...
Furman Defeats Loyola-Chicago On Game-Winning Baptism
Loyola-Chicago might have began the night celebrating their Cinderella run to the Final Four in last season’s national tournament, but it was the Ramblers who were on the wrong end of a surprise upset on Friday. ...
Jabari Parker Looks Really Disengaged Right Now
This past summer, the Bulls had $20 million in cap space, and they decided to spend it on bringing in hometown hero Jabari Parker on a two-year deal. When healthy, Parker had previously been a fringe all-star-level scorer, although the former second overall pick’s career has been maimed by a pair of...
Reports: The Chicago White Sox Exist
Given how easy it is for even their fans to forget about the Chicago White Sox’s existence, the most notable thing about baseball’s ongoing annual general manager meetings has probably been that several reporters for national outlets have written about the team, whose most recent campaign was highli...
Nikola Jokic Fined For Making Stupid Joke From 2012
The Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic has been fined $25,000 for using the phrase “no homo” while discussing Wendell Carter, Jr.’s length, as NBA writer Sean Highkin reports....
Blackhawks Fire Joel Quenneville, For Some Reason
My headline is slightly glib, because Joel Quenneville—the second-winningest coach in NHL history—was fired for the same reason every coach is fired: the Blackhawks just aren’t very good. But the thing is, it’s really not Quenneville’s fault at all....

Shams Charania is an NBA reporter for The Athletic and also works as an “NBA insider” for the “digital television sports network” Stadium, which was founded and is co-owned by Chicago Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf. An NBA reporter having two different jobs in the same field, one of which makes him the...
What The Fuck, Warriors
Look at that fuckin’ score. Klay Thompson hit 10 threes in the first half. The Warriors went 17-of-27 from beyond the arc before halftime. That’s some shit where if I did it in 2K I would be ashamed, and would immediately turn the difficulty up....
Does Robin Lopez Have Teeth In His Hair? An Investigation
This Halloween season, Jabari Parker was asked to do something very, very spooky and unpleasant. No, not “impede literally any professional basketball player’s movement towards the hoop,” but just “reach inside an box with unusual contents.” The contents were the head of Robin Lopez. While gingerly ...
Why Didn't The Raiders See If They Could Get More For Khalil Mack?
The Raiders got a good haul for all-world pass-rusher Khalil Mack, when they traded him to the Bears just before the start of the season. But that doesn’t mean they couldn’t conceivably have gotten a better one. Now there’s a report that says they didn’t even try....
Luka Dončić Is Having A Ball
Lest Trae Young have all the fun beating up on an atrocious winless defense, his rookie foil Luka Dončić also got his last night in a 115-109 Mavericks win over the Bulls. Setting aside the joy of pitting a 19-and 20-year-old in mortal competition for purely narrative and/or Hawks-shaming purposes,...
Mitchell Trubisky's Hail Mary Pass To Kevin White Comes Up Painfully Short
The Patriots learned a valuable lesson in respecting Mitchell Trubisky today. With the Bears down by seven with two seconds left, the “tittiess” kisser threw a Hail Mary pass from the team’s own 45-yard line, and it was actually caught. Receiver Kevin White just needed to push through the final two ...

Mitchell Trubisky Runs About 70 Yards For Eight-Yard Touchdown Run [UPDATE]
The Chicago Bears pulled ahead of the New England Patriots late in the first quarter by cashing in on a touchdown after the Pats fumbled a kickoff.

Yuki Kawauchi, The World's Most Famous Amateur Runner, Explains Why He's Finally Going Pro
As soon as they’d had a chance to mop the sweat or rinse the vomit out of their mouth, the top finishers of the Chicago Marathon stiffly climbed to the stage in the media center to answer reporters’ questions that generally elicited thanks to the Chicago Marathon for putting on such a great race and...
Kenyan Drake Experienced The Full Spectrum Of Emotions In The Dolphins' Nutty Overtime Win
Things got real weird in Miami at the end of Bears-Dolphins. After a scoreless first half, Chicago roared back with three touchdowns in the third quarter. It seemed like the Brock Osweiler-led Dolphins were toast, but Albert Wilson forced overtime with a pair of long catch-and-run touchdowns, boosti...
Leonard Floyd Suplexed Danny Amendola Into The Turf And Gifted The Dolphins A Score<em></em>
The Dolphins scored first in their game against the Bears today and while head coach Adam Gase should be celebrated for somehow getting an offense to succeed under the helm of Brock Osweiler, it’s not like Miami didn’t have any help getting near the end zone....
