And what about Free Agency? We'll tackle those subjects tonight. Plus, the Fire had their home opener and Bracketology is right around the corner!

So many returning players this week! The Cubs (finally) re-signed Cody Bellinger to a 3-year deal! What took so damn long? Oh yeah, Scott Boras...
Chris Chelios got his number retired to the United Center rafters and brought a HUGE entourage with him. Or maybe they were all there to watch Patrick Kane make his triumphant return to the U.C. ice, this time as a (sort of) enemy. And the NFL Scouting Combine kicks off this week. What can be learned at the Underwear Olympics?

Both the Cubs and the White Sox are in Arizona so you know what that means...it's officially Spring! OK, the calendar may still say February, but we know it's right around the corner, anyway! Tonight we'll kick off baseball season by talking White Sox, specifically Dylan Cease and his awkward situation and Jerry Reinsdorf's absurd stadium proposal. Speaking of returning, Connor Bedard is back! The teenage phenom made an early return to the ice last week and registerd 3 points in 2 games! Tonight the Hawks are in Carolina, we'll check in on their progress. The Sky also made another trade to get more draft capital. Finally, as the NFL Draft Combine is almost upon us, we'll look at just what teams might be interested in acquiring Justin Fields, if any. Is a bidding war even possible?

The Super Bowl came and went. What an epic show down between the 49ers and the Chiefs! Were there any lessons for the Bears? In basketball, meanwhile, one of Chicago's teams did nothing while another became a surpising seller. And finally, the Pro Football Hall of Fame came calling for several ex-Bears! There's another GOAT in Chicago!

The Bulls had a disasterous weekend, announcing that star guard Zach Lavine will miss the rest of the regular season with a knee surgery. The trade deadling is just days away, what will AKME and Co. do? Elsewhere, the Caleb Williams rumors exploded after a national story saying that Williams doesn't want to come to Chicago came out. Is there truth to it? What should the Bears do in this case?

The Bears have reportedly hired Shane Waldron to be their new Offensive Coordinator! Waldron held the same job with the Seahawks the last 2 seasons. We'll look at coach Waldron's past to try and figure out what will be different and what will be the same. And what will it mean for the endless QB1 debate? Meanwhile, DePaul has fired its head basketball coach and the White Sox are reportedly looking to build a new stadium.

Welcome back to Chi-Town Weekly! This week we'll discuss the Bears once again riding the Assistant Coach Carousel, this time looking for both an Offensive and Defensive Coordinator.

Well that was....NOT the way the Bears wanted to end the season. Instead of riding high into the offseason, the Bears got pounded by their neighbors to the north. Is 7-10 good enough to keep Eberlus? How about Fields? What should they do with the #1 pick? So many questions as the offseason is now here. We'll also check in on the Bulls and the NCAA National Championship games going on tonight. Plus, Connor Bedard updates after his roller coaster weekend.
