Update the resumé

Wednesday, Feb 28

Mike Glennon is looking for work again. The Bears announced the quarterback would be cut on March 14, the first day of the NFL's new league year. Big whiff on that signing, no? "We were going to take swings at that position and be aggressive at the most important position in sports," Bears GM Ryan Pace said today of the 3-year contract that yielded just 4 starts. Pace didn't shed any light on Kyle Fuller's status; to franchise tag or not franchise tag, that is the question … but the buzz is to not, writes Brad Biggs. Also today at the NFL combine: Matt Nagy talked (he referred to the team's starting QB as "Mitchell")! Tomorrow at the NFL combine: Men with fun names will run around and jump high and dodge orange cones.

Back to normal

Anthony Rizzo will do whatever is asked of him, whether it's by the Cubs or his hometown. For now, he's happy to talk (and play) baseball. Over at Nationals camp, is Dave Martinez channeling his inner Joe Maddon?

Frank Thomas 2.0?

Eloy Jimenez's bat should get him to the White Sox in 2018. His former manager Joe Maddon wouldn't knock it: "Physically imposing, mentally he's engaging conversationally." Now, say something about Carson Fulmer.

Oh, so Ryan Hartman and Tommy Wingels can score — just not when donning a Hawks sweater. Got it. And that's why, Steve Rosenbloom says, the Hawks lost last night without even playing. Young guys, you're up.

And another one

The Bulls lost their 5th straight as the ahem, player development phase of the season continued. Jerian Grant had a great bench view: "It's hard because you want to play." Well, there's always the driveway scenario

What happened?

Northwestern is physically depleted and mentally shot. "Our confidence is low right now," Chris Collins said. Dudes, what went so wrong so fast? Namely, everything. They'll play in the B1G tournament tomorrow.
