Ryan Poles understands how difficult getting to the NFL can be. That might explain why he has a soft spot for taking calculated gambles on players from smaller schools. He took Braxton Jones out of Southern Utah and Ja’Tyre Carter out of Southern in 2022. Last year, it was Travis Bell from Kennesaw State. If […]

Since general manager Kyle Davidson took over his current role in 2021, the pride of the Blackhawks has been the prospect pool. The NHL team itself hasn’t enjoyed much success due to a scorched-earth rebuild, but that same rebuild generated one of the best pipelines in the league. With the hockey season for every league […]

In a recent episode of the Green Light Podcast, hosted by Chris and Kyle Long, they welcomed Chicago Bears star pass rusher Montez Sweat as a guest. During the episode, Chris asked Sweat for advice he would offer to Caleb Williams. Before diving into that answer, Chris prefaced the conversation by referring to “whoever the […]

The 2024 NFL Draft is now less than three weeks away, with many draft analysts wondering what the Chicago Bears will do with the ninth overall selection now that it appears they will use the first overall selection on quarterback Caleb Williams. Although several prognosticators believe that Chicago will utilize the ninth pick on either […]

The Chicago Cubs must have enjoyed their plane ride to San Diego on Sunday night. After dropping two of three against the Texas Rangers, they returned to Wrigley Field and found their stride. The offense clicked, the pitching held, and they found themselves 6-3 headed to the West Coast. The homestand started with a sweep […]

The Chicago Bears have the 9th overall pick, which puts them in a good spot. History shows that teams can land good players at that position almost every year. Charles Cross, Patrick Surtain, Ed Oliver, Mike McGlinchey, Leonard Floyd, Anthony Barr, Luke Kuechly, and Tyron Smith are only the most recent examples. It always depends […]

Javier Assad went back out for the sixth inning as he was approaching the 100-pitch mark because the Cubs desperately needed length from their starter following their weekend series against the Dodgers. Assad was running out of juice and gave up a 2-run homer. That should not have been a big deal because the Cubs […]

The Chicago Bears seem committed to making Caleb Williams their #1 overall pick in the 2024 draft. It is the start of the real clock for GM Ryan Poles. People will judge him on this decision more than any other. If he hits on it, he may go down as one of the greatest GMs […]

Offensive tackle is 100% a possibility for the Chicago Bears at the 9th overall pick. GM Ryan Poles confirmed as much when he said he’d split his scouts into three teams after the combine. Each would take a position and argue why they should target it with that pick. One is wide receiver, another is […]

The Chicago Cubs‘ priority this offseason was to re-sign left-handed power hitter Cody Bellinger. Many felt that without him, they did not stand a chance to continue the progress they made in 2023. They finally reached a deal just after camp broke in February, but that was not the most significant move of their offseason. […]

Typically, when a draft comes around, teams focus on key positions of need. Areas of the roster they feel are too weak.
