Why Montez Sweat is determined to improve upon 'disappointing' Bears season

4 days ago | marqueesportsnetwork.com | Scott Bair

Bears News • Montez Sweat wasn’t thrilled with his 2024 campaign. The star edge rusher wasn’t part of a playoff team. His stats didn’t overwhelm despite occupying nearly 10% of the Bears’ salary cap. He dealt with nagging injuries most of the season but didn’t use that as an excuse. Not when he spoke to the media last week. Not during his exit interview with general manager Ryan Poles. “We didn’t make the playoffs,” Sweat told reporters in a press conference.

Cubs News • CHICAGO — The 11-mile-per-hour winds and 59-degree temperatures at Wrigley Field were more reminiscent of a late-April or early May date than the beginning of June. But – weather be damned – the Cubs wrapped up a six-game homestand with a 5-1 record, beating the Cincinnati Reds 7-3 in the finale. The win moved them to 15 games above .500, their highest mark since 2018.

Ben Brown cautiously optimistic after 'best' outing of 2025 | Cubs News

Cubs News • CHICAGO — Ben Brown felt almost passive in his last few outings. Instead of pressuring opposing hitters, he was waiting for something – a hard hit liner for an out, for example – to jump start his outing. “It was almost like I was waiting for something good to happen in the first inning rather than me being on the attack and being the one that did execute those pitches,” Brown said after the Cubs’ 2-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday at Wrigley Field.

Cubs News • CHICAGO — Porter Hodge’s left oblique strain that landed him on the 15-day injured list is “kind of resolved” Cubs manager Craig Counsell said on Saturday morning. Just don’t expect him back in the Cubs bullpen too soon – he’s now dealing with a left hip impingement and will likely require a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the big-league team. Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Hodge’s oblique is pretty much “resolved”.
Why Cubs believe using an opener can help Ben Brown get back on track | Cubs News

Cubs News • CHICAGO — Ben Brown won’t start on Saturday during what should be his normal turn in the Cubs rotation. That, instead, will fall to left-handed reliever Drew Pomeranz. That doesn’t mean he won’t play a role in the second game of the series against the Cincinnati Reds. It’s also doesn’t mean that he isn’t in the rotation anymore. It’s another attempt by the Cubs to try and reinvigorate the young pitcher who they still have high hopes for.

He has a lifetime 3.88 ERA in 283.1 innings.
Bears QB Caleb Williams has been a 'sponge' with Case Keenum's advice

1 week ago | marqueesportsnetwork.com | Scott Bair

Tyson Bagent is a solid backup quarterback with starter’s experience. He has been good when called upon, too, with a 2-2 record when handed the keys to the castle. Those efforts came as an undrafted rookie out of Shepherd, without much experience or professional reps to his credit. He’d be even better now that he’s been around a bit more. He’s also a good locker room guy who understands his role as well as anyone and worked hard to support Caleb Williams last season.
