A daily sports update delivered to your inbox for your evening commute.
Friday, Jan 5 All aboard the Bears' coaching carousel. Next stop: New England — home of the "bomb cyclone" and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Previous stops include Minnesota — home of the Mall of America and Vikings coordinators George Edwards (defense) and Pat Shurmur (offense). If Ryan Pace hits a home run (oops, wrong sport) as opposed to missing a free throw (double oops) in selecting his new coach, it might just end the Bears' 7-year playoff drought. Anything is possible, just ask the Bills, Rams, Jaguars and Titans. |
| There's a new documentary out about the 1985 Bears (they won the Super Bowl, have you heard?). Which means, there's a new batch of interviews out with the 1985 Bears. Dan Hampton and Jim McMahon, take it away! |
|
| The MLB Hot Stove has been fairy dormant this offseason. Wait, is that Rick Hahn's music? The White Sox added 2 relievers in a 3-team, 5-player swap last night. Good timing too: Spring training tickets are on sale today. |
|
| The Bulls are in Dallas (7:30 p.m., NBCSCH+), but Cristiano Felicio is in Fort Wayne, Ind., with the Windy City Bulls. Not a good look for the $32 million center. As for rookie Lauri Markkanen, it's all good (and versatile). |
|
| Your non-update update on Corey Crawford: He's still out "indefinitely." Anton Forsberg, his replacement, went from backup to starter to backup. Tonight: Home vs. 1st-place Golden Knights (7:30 p.m., NBCSN). |
|
| Notre Dame running back Josh Adams and receiver Equanimeous St. Brown will enter the NFL draft (see ya, senior year). Also gone: Defensive coordinator Mike Elko. But coming back: "Baby Fitz" to Northwestern's staff. |
