It began in the mid-1980s as what Scott Hoag describes as a “grassroots thing.’’ qctimes.com/news/local/artic…

Bears didn't deserve to win with the way they played but no one deserves to lose the way they did

Maybe the most unbelievable loss in Bears history. I was yelling for them to call one of their 3 timeouts before the Hail Mary so everyone knew what they were doing

Worst call of the season? Trying to hand off to your third-string center at the goal line when you have a chance to score the go-ahead TD

Classic Kirk Ferentz. Troy takes the lead and Iowa just runs out the clock with a timeout remaining and minute to go in the half. Fans booing and you can tell the players on the field hated the decision, too.

Unfortunately, it looks like Noah Lyles is out of the 4x100 finals. The good news is that Rock Island's Courtney Lindsey seems likely to take his place

Courtney Lindsey leaves NO doubt down the stretch and pulls away to move the USA on to the 4x100m relay final. #ParisOlympics

So ... which Cubs position players are going to get to pitch in this first game of doubleheader today? Bote? Wisdom? Mastro?

Tuned in to watch the Cubs in the bottom of the first inning today and instead they seemingly are airing reruns of The Twilight Zone, starring Hayden Wesneski

We are deeply saddened by the passing of legendary former defensive coordinator Joe Collier, the architect of the Orange Crush defense who helped us to three Super Bowl appearances.

Iowa's Tory Taylor is the highest drafted punter in the NFL draft since Bryan Anger went in the third round in 2012

Bears have not taken a defensive player in the entire NFL draft so I'm thinking they'll go DE or DT with their last pick. Instead they take ... Tory Taylor. I love it.
