SSHM of all people white knighting (no pun intended) over Bobby Knight is... certainly something I did not see coming.

Biggest trade deadline loser: You guessed it 1. Chicago Bears They whiffed at the trade deadline a year ago, giving away what became the equivalent of a first-round pick for suspect wide receiver Chase Claypool, and did so again this year, trading a second-round pick for Washington Commanders defensive end Montez Sweat and not moving disgruntled cornerback Jaylon Johnson. Multiple general managers — who spoke on the condition of anonymity to be candid without damaging their ability to negotiate with teams in the future — complained that the Bears waited until effectively midnight to make Johnson available, minimizing the window to land him. “[Bears General Manager Ryan] Poles f---ed it up again,” said one general manager who was in the cornerback market. “You can’t wait until midnight and then tell everyone in the middle of the night, ‘Now he can seek a trade,’ ” said another general manager, “and then expect teams to compete to negotiate the deal and get to know the player and work something out with the agent. That should have happened two weeks ago.” Another executive who was in talks with Poles said: “He has a really difficult time under the clock. Personally, I don’t get what they did. That’s going to be, what, the 35th pick for Sweat?” Others also panned that deal. “You can’t make that trade without having him signed,” the second general manager said. “Can you imagine what happens if Sweat gets hurt and they don’t have a deal? What’s the comp pick going to be then [if he leaves as a free agent]? I heard he was going to Atlanta for a [third-round pick] and then Poles swooped in and blew them away. I don’t get it.” And with the Bears at 2-6, Sweat is unlikely to turn around another lost season. “Doesn’t make sense for where Chicago is,” the first general manager said. “I’d have rather just traded [a third-round pick] for Chase Young” — the other Commanders edge rusher who went to the San Francisco 49ers at that price. “They should have been selling.” MSN

First ever World Series win for the Rangers. Gotta love it.

83 years old.

They'll sign him. I mean the Bears have the most cap space in the league. It would be dumb to trade for him and let him walk. I wanted Chase Young more though. Maybe Poles was scared off of acquiring another player named Chase.

Bedard loves the Kane cellys (and the mullet he rocked in junior for the playoffs).

I want Bagent to succeed.. just because his dad is such a beauty.

I'm going to be watching the Spurs alot this year cuz of this kid. What a freak.

One team was ending a 106 year curse. And Chapman at the time was arguably the best reliever in baseball. Your statement was for next season if the Rangers get a ring after this season. So if they win or not, they are not gonna trade one of the best prospects in the game for Dylan freakin Cease.

LOL. 0 shot the Rangers trade Wyatt Langford. That would be like the Orioles trading Jackson Holiday. Get that idea out of your heads now.

Pace? no. Poles? yes.

The future getting their WJC rings today.

If Bagent had Fields arm strength you could actually see a starter in the NFL. But alas.

Jaquan Brisker has had a hell of a game. Kid has been everywhere.

Yea it's very below average. I like that he gets the ball out quick, he's accurate and it seems he processes the field quickly. But man does he have a muffin of an arm.

Bears desperately need a DE, OT, WR, FS (Eddie Jackson is all but gone) and now probably a QB. Just still so many holes. Probably another 2 years or so. The good news is they SHOULD at least get 2 blue chip prospects this draft. But they need ALOT of help still.

Bagent is accurate as f***, but he does not have a strong arm. He likes Tyler Scott as a receiver though.

Looks like Fields hurt his wrist. Might be Tyson Bagent time.

Phillies is my early World Series favorite at this point. I think they can beat Astros or Rangers. As much as I like the DBacks I'd be surprised if they beat Philly.

Absolutely fitting Bedard scores and Eddie O is in the booth for it.

The Connor Bedard era starts off with a dub!

NHL season is here!

I... I just can't root for them. Is it possible both teams lose?
