Akiem Hicks knows his career could’ve gone any number of ways. Never was that clearer than during the 2015-2016 calendar year. He started it on the New Orleans Saints roster, got into a heated dispute with head coach Sean Payton, was then traded to New England, became a free agent, and chose to sign with […]

You knew this was coming. Right-handed reliever Steve Cishek hasn’t been effective for the Cubs lately and prior to Saturday’s game against the Reds he was placed on the 10-day injured list with a hip issue. Righty Dillon Maples has been called up from Triple-A Iowa to take Cishek’s spot in the bullpen. Cishek’s allowed […]

The Chicago Bears kicker competition took an interesting shift at Soldier Field in the preseason. Eddy Pineiro missed a 48-yard field goal while Elliott Fry was perfect including a 43-yarder.

Undrafted tight end Ian Bunting had a holding penalty, allowed a sack, fumbled a ball, but also had three catches for 77 yards. Duke Shelley had nice coverage but […]

Nick Castellanos hit his first home run with the Cubs earlier this week against the A’s and then he hit two last night against the Reds. Then, the righty smashed his fourth home run with the Cubs on Friday in the first inning off Trevor Bauer. That’s a nine-game hitting streak since being traded to […]

Khalil Mack may have been disappointed the way things ended with the Oakland Raiders. They were his first team, after all. He’d always hoped to bring a championship back to that city. It was the one who’d drafted him out of Buffalo and helped turn him into a Defensive Player of the Year. Then, just […]
