Stock up, stock down: Thriller in San Francisco

Image
Few games ever live up to the hype, but Sunday night’s meeting of the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers definitely did. It didn’t finish the way Chicago wanted, but it was a thrilling game and showed a national audience that Caleb Williams has arrived. And for the most jaded or skeptical Bears fans, it demonstrated this era is unlike any other era of Bears football we’ve seen. They have an offense that can score on anybody, a head coach that schemes, plans and adjusts unlike any prior, and the mentality and fight that won’t let them back down from any team. Allowing 42 points is bad, though and leaves a lot of room for improvement. The Bears have allowed 42 or more points three times this season, the most in the NFL. Heading into the postseason, it isn’t good enough. Let’s run through who is playing well and who is not. Stock up Luther Burden III, WR – The rookie exploded for his second 100-yard game of the season and his second touchdown of the year. His 138 yards were ...

Should embattled longtime Colts GM Chris Ballard be back for 2026?

Having officially been knocked out of playoff contention again, the Indianapolis Colts (8-7), and specifically team owner and CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon and her two sisters, will face some tough decisions this upcoming offseason. Chief among them is expected to be the job security of longtime general manager Chris Ballard, along with other key leadership positions such as head coach Shane Steichen and the status at starting quarterback, where incumbent Daniel Jones is recovering from torn Achilles surgery and is a pending league free agent. Among the leadership trio, Ballard’s seat is expected to be among the hottest, after what was already expected to be a critical season for the Colts top brass, but saw yet another late season collapse, after such a promising hot start—featuring what once was the league’s most prolific offense before critical injuries struck. Coming back 8-2 from Berlin in Week 10, and having recently acquired former All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner ahead of the lea...

There have been plenty of great players to come through the New York Yankees organization over the years, and one of the fan favorites, despite a short stint, was Anthony Rizzo. He retired this past season, thanks in part to the former Chicago Cubs and Yankees first baseman not being able to return following an injury-plagued 2024 season. But, as Bruce Levine of 670thescore.com shared on Twitter/x, Italy's GM for the World Baseball Classic revealed that Rizzo was asked to participate for Team Italy, and the now-retired first baseman is considering whether to accept or not. Anthony Rizzo might return to baseball, but in the WBC "On WSCR's Inside the Clubhouse, GM of the WBC team Italy Ned Colletti said that he asked former Cub Anthony Rizzo to participate on tea...
