Inside Slant

He's breezy

Wednesday, Dec 27

If John Fox is worried about his job before the Bears' finale on Sunday, he isn't showing it: "I've never had trouble getting employment in this league, and I'm not going to start worrying about it now." We don't want to bring him down, but in 3 seasons here, his Bears have never won 3 games in a row and never spent a day at .500 or better. And that's why Fox's name is high atop the expected names of NFL coaches who will receive a pink slip after Week 17. Still, he's eh on the topic: "There's a lot of speculation every year, and this year is no different." If offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains joins him in the job hunt, last week's win at least provided him a nice resumé boost. Changes, they're a comin'.

The journey

Snow angels. Now. Rookie Mitch Trubisky joining his offense for some fun in the snow could be the cover image for the Bears' brochure in 2018. As for where/who/what position the team will draft in 2018? TBD.

Can't stop won't stop

8 wins in 10 games: "We believe," said Nikola Mirotic after the Bulls beat the Bucks. Can they make in 9 in 11 tonight vs. the Knicks at home (7 p.m., NBCSCH)? That would be memorable, like most of 2017 for this team.

Not so Craw-some

For the 2nd time this month, Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford was placed on the IR. He's not eligible to return to the ice until Jan. 3. When he does, he'll be reunited with new BFFs Lance Bouma and Tommy Wingels.

It happened

Theo Epstein called it "the only clinching game I'm never going to watch a single highlight of." Cubs-Nationals Game 5 was epic — and exhausting. Also, the game of the year here. As for the present of the year? Enter Kris Bryant.

Rewind button

There were some not so great moments in Chicago sports this year (Connor Barth, Joe Maddon's dye job and a poorly timed Bulls injury pop to mind). But there were some nice moments too (oh hi there, Anthony Rizzo).
