As usual, FIFA brings the drama (good and bad) to the World Cup
It’s often hard to appreciate a global championship when the sport itself — or the sport’s governing body — gets in front of the game.

"Hey Bears, tell us how you REALLY feel about Chicago."

No one will escape blame — and fans’ wrath — if Bears’ proposed move to Hammond comes to fruition

Trying to reach .500 doesn’t seem like much, but it’s a start for White Sox chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

A .500 record in May is something no one expected. Not by them. Not by us. Probably not by anyone inside of MLB.

Songs In The Key of Billy Donovan's Life

chicago.suntimes.com/sports/2026/...
As Reinsdorf meeting looms, Bulls coach Billy Donovan should run — and run fast!
Walk into the meeting, confront the Emperor (Jerry if there, Michael if not) with the proverbial sword, sacrifice the life of his future with the franchise while rejecting their offer to remain, disappear into the NBA unknown until the Knicks fire Mike Brown.

Bulls' losing has us longing for mediocrity again
Welcome to the end of the 2025-26 season for the Bulls. A season that took two left turns (or hooks) at the trade deadline. An all-L’s February. A fall from a place far from grace.
