While the Sox continue to rebuild, they are not that far off from a pitching standpoint.

Across town, injuries might be the only setback for the Cubs, as they’re excelling in offense and hitting the ball exceptionally well.

The NFL released their schedule for the upcoming season.

The league must think the Bears are going to be good as evidenced by the number of prime-time games they will play.

Kevin Fishbain from The Athletic talked about the team and the expectations.

Kevin also talked about how much he enjoyed the Bears schedule reveal using one of his favorite shows, “New Girl.”

The NBA draft lottery was held this week.

Sadly, the Bulls missed out on securing the top draft pick. Nevertheless, Matas Buzelis, a Chicago native and forward for the Bulls, believes the draft is packed with talent, ensuring the Bulls will still make a great choice.

Meanwhile, the WNBA season begins this weekend. Dionne caught up with veteran Chicago Sky guard Courtney Vandersloot as she begins her second stint with the Sky as a new mom.

The Northwestern women’s lacrosse team has made it to the Final Four for the sixth consecutive season, thanks in no small part to Madison Taylor, who is now the single-season NCAA scoring leader after scoring the 105th goal on Thursday.

She shares how grateful she is for her teammates and coaches who helped her set the record.
