Inside Slant

Under the lights

Thursday, Apr 19

Matt Nagy will get an early into to the Bears-Packers rivalry: It's a Week 1 matchup on the 2018 NFL schedule. In prime time. At Lambeau Field. And just for added pressure: Nagy's 4 head coaching predecessors — John Fox, Marc Trestman, Lovie Smith and Dick Jauron — all won their first trip to Green Bay. Best of luck — maybe tear up those 1-day contracts for Devin Hester and Matt Forte? The full schedule (with dates, times and TV) will be announced tonight at 7 p.m. (NFL Network). Until then, read about how Tarik Cohen has beefed up (from 181 to 190 pounds), how Mitch Trubisky is up and down (as all young QBs are) and how Brad Biggs can answer all your questions without getting carpal tunnel (he's the best). Bearsssss.

Hello sunshine

The Cubs played a game! In sunny conditions! That wacky Joe Maddon has done it again! The "it" today was tabbing Albert Almora Jr. to bad leadoff vs. the Cardinals over the struggling Ian Happ (.186 in the No. 1 spot).

Under the big top

The Cubs traded in their cleats for fancy suits last night at their annual charity gala. This year's theme was the circus — and chairman Tom Ricketts wowed the crowd with his mad juggling skills. Seriously, we're impressed.

Neverending story

The Sox just finished their 14-inning game vs. the A's. They lost in just under 6 hours. And while Ricky's boys don't quit, Ricky's starters are struggling — especially Carson Fulmer. And Steve Rosenbloom has thoughts.

Housewarming party

Northwestern basketball needs a dinner companion when Welsh-Ryan Arena opens this fall. What better guest than Loyola (and Sister Jean!)? If it's a no, Teddy Greenstein has 5 other foes that would make a great date.

Today in random news ... 

Someone stole 2 tractors worth $50,000 from Scottie Pippen's farm in Arkansas. Not cool, thieves. Not cool. And in the hockey world, "Puddy" showed up at a New Jersey Devils playoff game with his face painted. Devils!
