Third time's a charm

Wednesday, Apr 25

Hear that bell? Last call to get in those draft predictions and pleas and prognostications before the first-round picks are announced tomorrow. Reminder: No spoiler tweets or Roger Goodell will take away your phone. In Brad Biggs' latest and greatest mock draft, he has the Bears going for defense at No. 8 with linebacker Roquan Smith. Steve Rosenbloom is on board — unless Smith turns out to be the next Shea McClellin (oh noes). Previously, the Bears have picked at No. 8 five times, mostly recently in 2001 with David Terrell. So … there's that. After Round 1, it's Round 2 — that pick is just as important (and not just because Mike Singletary will announce it). But really, this draft is a chance for Ryan Pace to improve upon his title (?) as one of the NFL's worst GMs. So no pressure buddy!

Home away from home

Kyle Schwarber is hitting .500 at Progressive Field. Please explain: "I just hit well here." Thanks! Anthony Rizzo is off to a rough start, but "that's April baseball." Tonight: More April baseball (6:10 p.m., NBCSCH).

Here, have a mint

Rick Renteria got soveryclose while arguing balls and strikes with the ump yesterday. The result = 15th ejection in his managerial career. Made for a good photo, though. Also yesterday: 1-0 loss. Today: In progress.

Clean it up

That was the general thought of a 60-page report from a college basketball panel today. Shannon Ryan adds that until players are paid, the scandals won't end. Now, does the NCAA care enough to do that?

Answers, man

The questions don't stop just because the basketball has. In his recent Bulls Q&A, the collective you asked K.C. Johnson about Lauri Markannen and if Fred Hoiberg should rent or buy. Still unknown: D-Wade's status.

Once more, with feeling

Position-by-position previews. An inside look at the interview process. A parrot announcing one team's 4th-round pick. If you read all our pre-draft coverage, tweet @ChicagoSports and we'll send you a cookie.
