That job, which is actually handled by the Chicago Police Department, hasn’t been very demanding, though. Only half the logs show that either cannabis, suspected cannabis or a green leafy substance was recovered from the boxes. In many instances, multiple items — including bags and packages — were pulled from a box at once, the […]
State Rep. Batinick’s proposal would cap the amount of THC in cannabis flower at 10% and set a 15% limit for concentrates and infused products. Many shoppers currently make purchases based on THC content, and legal pot products found on dispensary shelves are typically far more potent than the proposed levels. “I think that it […]
The Paramount Theatre in Aurora on Friday announced the cancellation of performances through Sunday of its current production of “Cinderella” due to COVID cases among the cast and crew. The Paramount Theatre requires proof of full vaccination and mandatory masks for all audience members at all performances. The Joffrey Ballet canceled Dec 17-18 performances of […]
It said it plans to hire 150 people for the office within the next two years, with ultimate plans for 300 workers there. Numerous companies are moving to or expanding in Fulton Market or the broader West Loop, drawn to a new generation of office buildings in a setting popular with younger tech workers. Research […]
LaMarr Hoyt, the 1983 Cy Young Award winner who helped the “Winning Ugly” White Sox win the American League West Division championship that season, died Monday in Columbia, South Carolina, following a lengthy illness, the Sox confirmed Wednesday. Hoyt, who posted a 98-68 record and 3.99 ERA with 48 complete games during an eight-year career, […]
The Bears caught a break in the public-relations department by having Soldier Field empty all last season. From booing starting quarterback Andy Dalton in the preseason to chanting “Fire Nagy” and “Nagy sucks” this month, they’ve been loud. “We hate it, honestly,” said Jackson, who has heard his share of heckling over missed tackles this […]
On Thursday, the Bears couldn’t get going on the ground against the Lions, who entered Sunday allowing the second-most rushing yards per game in the league. After Cam Meredith tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the 2017 preseason, the Bears leaned on slot receiver Kendall Wright, special-teamer Josh Bellamy and kick returner Deonte Thompson at […]
The whole truth is that the Bears can blame themselves for everything that has befallen them, even the rumors and “reports” that seem to be estranged from reality. If there’s no Nagy, there’s no five-game losing streak and no awful offense. Two days before the Bears’ Thanksgiving game in Detroit, the news site reported that […]
Bears chairman George McCaskey spoke to the team last week prior to the Bears’ 16-14 victory over the Lions on Thanksgiving Day at Ford Field. The firing of Nagy is considered by many as fait accompli, with “Fire Nagy” chants breaking out at various Chicago-area venues. But until then, speculation about Nagy, Pace — and […]
The Bears are so bad at this, they don’t even know how to play the victim, mishandling an erroneous report of Nagy’s firing so poorly that they created a firestorm, then congratulated themselves for overcoming a distraction they themselves fueled — so typical. This is why the Bears need a president of football operations — […]
Losing to a backup quarterback, at home, after a bye. He acknowledged the reality that his job is in jeopardy this year — “When you lose five games in a row, you understand, and when you’re 3-7, you know what territory you can get to,” he said — and then won a game, albeit in […]
It’s hard to choose the most glaring absurdity that they allowed to happen, but here’s a candidate: The first person from the organization to face questions about the rumor was special teams coordinator Chris Tabor. If there’s a one-source story on Nagy being fired, that source needs to be one of four people: George McCaskey, […]
So a day after Dalton threw for 317 yards and directed a late field-goal drive that gave the Bears a 16-14 walk-off victory over the winless Lions on Thanksgiving Day at Ford Field, there was plenty of quarterback fodder as the Bears begin a “mini-bye” week before facing the Cardinals on Dec. Considering that the […]
“I think everybody understands and knows how I feel about Roquan and the type of football player he is on Sunday, but I don’t know if people truly understand who he is as a leader of this team,” Nagy said Friday. “He’s a big part of this thing. ‘‘It depends on the magnitude and the […]
They figure to hover over Halas Hall for the rest of the season, clearing only if the Bears go on a miraculous winning streak or Nagy gets fired while there are still games to play. Also, you stay ahead of it by knowing, like I just said — not just us, but other players — […]

Bears linebacker Roquan Smith — a college teammate of Swift’s on Georgia’s 13-2 national runner-up in 2017 — is playing at an All-Pro level and picking up steam. Vildor had a sack on a blitz last week, but also two major errors on the Ravens’ fateful touchdown drive in the final 33 seconds — a […]
A chorus of ‘‘Fiiiiii-re Na-ggggy’’ rang out at the most important moment of the Bears’ 16-13 loss to the Ravens — fourth-and-six from the Ravens’ 44 with 1:48 left and the Bears trailing 9-7. The chants were drowned out by elation when backup quarterback Andy Dalton did the impossible on the next play, lofting a […]
It’s almost as though the Knicks had accepted that, on paper, the Bulls had a more gifted roster but also one that was a bit soft. “I think one of the things for us, especially with being out, we’ve been undersized at the center spot at times. The fact that the Bulls have gone 4-2 […]
“The first 10 minutes, we were right there,” interim coach Derek King said. DeBrincat was yet again the Hawks’ bright spot, scoring twice to up his season goal total to 11 in 17 games — a 53-goal prorated pace. But with the game nonetheless out of reasonable reach for most of the night, perhaps the […]
