As the Bears enter what everyone expects to be a pivotal offseason in general manager Ryan Poles’ plans to build a winner, he’s not making any bold declarations.

“Everyone’s talking about how much money we have and how we’re gonna go crazy,” Poles said. “We need to be sound.”

After a year of demolition, Poles now has a tremendous opportunity to build the roster with a full slate of draft picks, including No. 1 overall, and a league-high $118.1 million in salary-cap space.

In Poles’ first season, the Bears went 3-14 under coach Matt Eberflus and finished with a franchise-worst 10-game losing streak. They finished 23rd in scoring (19.2 points per game) and last in scoring defense (27.2).

The Bears opened with an upset of the 49ers amid a heavy downpour at Soldier Field and were still hanging on at 3-4 after beating the Patriots on Monday Night Football in Week 7.

Throughout his first year, Poles offloaded experienced, expensive players in favor of draft picks future cap space. He traded three-time All-Pro Khalil Mack for a second-round pick that he used to draft safety Jaquan Brisker, then dealt linebacker Roquan Smith for a second-rounder and defensive end Robert Quinn for a fourth during the season.

“I know we’re healthier now than we were a year before,” he said Tuesday.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles said he expects quarterback Justin Fields to be his starter in 2023.

The Bears hold the top pick in this year’s draft, but Poles all-but-squashed the notion he’d take a passer with the selection.

“I’d have to be absolutely blown away to make that type of decision,” he said Tuesday.

Alabama’s Bryce Young is considered the best quarterback in the draft, and nine quarterbacks have been taken first overall since 2010. Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter and Alabama edge rusher Will Anderson are the two best defensive players in the draft, and would each fill a Bears need.

Poles left open the possibility the Bears could trade the pick.

Fields finished the season 64 yards shy of breaking Lamar Jackson’s single-season rushing record for a quarterback. His passing, though, left a lot to be desired: he finished the regular season 25th in passer rating, tied for 16th in passing touchdowns and 27th in yards.

“He has to get better as a passer,” Poles said.

Fields went 3-12 as a starter this season, missing the Jets game with a separated left shoulder and sitting out the finale with what the Bears called a hip injury. Fields said Monday that his hip was about 80 percent. He could have played, he said, but might have been limited.

Without Fields at quarterback, the Bears lost their franchise-record 10th straight game Sunday. The Texans’ win against the Colts minutes after the Bears lost to the Vikings ensured the Bears would draft first overall.

MIAMI — The Miami Marlins and right-hander Johnny Cueto have agreed on a deal that guarantees him $8.5 million for 2023, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

That includes a $2.5 million buyout if the Marlins do not exercise a club option for 2024, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contract won’t be signed until a physical is completed.

If the option is picked up, the total contract would be $16.5 million, the person said. The New York Post first reported the agreement between Cueto and the Marlins.

The move, for now, would appear to create even more of a logjam in the Marlins’ rotation. NL Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara leads that group, with Pablo Lopez, Trevor Rogers, Edward Cabrera, Braxton Garrett and Jes?s Luzardo all coming off a year when they made at least 14 starts.

Cueto, who turns 37 in February, was 8-10 with a 3.35 ERA for the White Sox in 2022. He logged 1581/3 innings, his most since throwing 2192/3 innings for San Francisco in 2016, the second of his two All-Star years.

Cueto also was an All-Star for Cincinnati in 2014, when he won a career-best 20 games.

In 15 seasons, he has gone 143-107 with a 3.44 ERA, having pitched for the Reds, San Francisco Giants, White Sox and Kansas City Royals. He went 1-0 in the World Series with the Royals in 2015, helping them beat the New York Mets in five games.

Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek grew up idolizing former Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech. He proudly wore Cech’s blue-and-white jersey all around his hometown of Ostrava, Czechia.

So young Mrazek probably would have been shocked and starstruck if he knew what he’d be doing on Jan. 9, 2023.

What he was doing Monday was attempting to convert soccer penalty kicks against Cech — then futilely trying to save Cech’s kicks — at the Chicago Fire’s practice facility while a handful of Hawks teammates watched and, later, joined in. He converted two of five, a respectable effort. He saved zero of five.

“[I was] not bad,” Mrazek said, grinning. “I hit the crossbar there. The thing is, I think [Cech] read almost every single ball from everyone. When he reads that, it’s lucky to get in.”

On Tuesday, the two countrymen planned to switch sports — and thus drastically flip their hierarchy. After the Hawks’ team practice at Fifth Third Arena, Cech will hit the ice and take shots from NHL players in the customary post-practice games of “two puck.”

“He’s going to get a lot of work, I can tell you that,” Mrazek added. “It’s going to be a lot. He’s going to be tired.”

Cech’s younger self probably also would have been shocked and starstruck if he knew that opportunity lay in his future. Even his present-day self was nervous thinking about it.

“Being on the ice with the best players in the world is something you don’t always have a chance to do,” Cech said. “[I’m excited to] see how quick and how strong and how good they are. Hopefully I’ll have a good experience.”

Of course, there’s a backstory to all of this. The idea of Mrazek and Cech uniting in Chicago, as well as the idea of Cech playing ice hockey at all, makes much more sense when it is provided.

The two of them met about 10 years ago, when Mrazek’s pro career was just beginning with the Red Wings while Cech was cementing his legacy as one of the best goalies in Premier League history. It turned out they were both represented by the same agency.

It also turned out they loved each other’s sports. Cech was skating during his free time with a local semi-pro hockey team in England, dreaming of a late-career change that he has since made a reality. He may be a soccer superstar, but he calls hockey his passion. He actually grew up idolizing Dominik Hasek, whom he now wears No. 39 to honor.

And Mrazek, as mentioned, is a diehard Chelsea fan. It became an annual tradition for Cech to host Mrazek in London every August.

“Having that connection…was incredible,” Mrazek said. “Even when he wasn’t playing, he would still take care of us. We would go to Arsenal and Chelsea games, or we would travel with Chelsea somewhere close around London.”

The two of them long ago first discussed Cech returning the favor and visiting Mrazek in North America, but the Premier League and NHL schedules — which both start in the fall and end in the spring — never lined up properly. But they finally made it happen this year, bringing Cech to Chicago for the first time since 2006 (when Chelsea played an exhibition game against the MLS All-Stars in Bridgeview).

Cech attended the Hawks’ overtime win over the Flames on Sunday — a “great game,” he said — and will stick around for the Hawks-Avalanche matchup Thursday.

And now, the backstory explaining why this year worked for his visit. As crazy as it sounds, Cech resigned this past summer from a position in Chelsea’s front office to focus full-time on his hockey career — at age 40.

He previously played part-time for the Guildford Phoenix, an English fourth-division team. This year, he signed with the Chelmsford Chieftains, a third-division team, and has gone 3-1-0 with a .907 save percentage in five appearances. He also practices occasionally with the Guildford Flames, who are currently the first-place team in England’s top league (the EIHL).

“I’m a bit older, so I don’t play back-to-back games,” Cech said with a laugh. “But otherwise, I’m happy. As long as I feel fit and feel like I contribute and I enjoy it and my body enjoys it, then I carry on.”

The positioning aspect of hockey goaltending — determining the correct depth and angle in any given moment — is surprisingly comparable to soccer goalkeeping, he insisted. The playing surface, however, is obviously not.

“The big challenge is skating, because you need to get the technique,” he said. “Once you’re on the ice, the slides and the recovery, that’s something you have to really work on. There’s no other way around it.

“[And in] one-on-one situations, you deal with them completely differently in ice hockey than in soccer. But the speed of the reaction and reading the game is pretty similar.”

Mrazek has helped his training. He often sends videos of himself — some self-recorded on a GoPro camera set up in his garage — for feedback and tips. The fact Mrazek catches with his left hand and Cech with his right complicates things slightly, but Mrazek has still taught him to keep his glove further out and use it more aggressively, in particular.

Cech repaid Mrazek for his consulting time by referring him this fall to a New Jersey-based chiropractor, who ultimately aided Mrazek’s recovery from his recurring groin injuries.

And come Monday, Cech and Mrazek were all smiles and laughs as they filmed silly videos with the Hawks’ marketing staff and kicked the ball around with Hawks teammates.

The whole arrangement was somewhat surreal. Cech explaining how to handle the pressure of World Cup-level PK shootouts to Mrazek, Seth Jones and Max Domi almost sounds like a Mad Lib. So does Cech comparing late-arriving Jonathan Toews to Chelsea star midfielder Jorginho. But both things actually happened.

Jones and Jason Dickinson even demonstrated some soccer prowess, in case they ever consider Cech-esque career changes. Mrazek, meanwhile, would probably be best-served sticking to hockey — but at least he has a friendship with one of soccer’s all-time greats to brag about.

“It’s cool to see that we’ve become this close and that we have a chance to do this,” Mrazek said.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Stetson Bennett flashed a wry grin as he walked off the field, stopping to hug coach Kirby Smart as the crowd roared.

It was all standing ovations and sideline snacks in the fourth quarter of college football’s most lopsided title game.

In emphatic and overwhelming fashion, Georgia became the first team to repeat as College Football Playoff national champions and left no doubt the ‘Dawgs are the new bullies on the block.

Bennett threw two touchdown passes and ran for two scores in the first half as No. 1 Georgia demolished No. 3 TCU 65-7 Monday night.

The Bulldogs (15-0) are the first repeat champs in major college football since Alabama went back-to-back a decade ago. There appears to be a new dynasty emerging from the Southeastern Conference.

“We wanted our kids to play without fear,” Smart said. “All year I told them, I said, ‘We ain’t getting hunted guys, we’re doing the hunting, and hunting season’s almost over. We’ve only got one more chance to hunt,’ and we hunted tonight.”

TCU (13-2), the first Cinderella team of the playoff era, never had a chance against the Georgia juggernaut. Unlike Michigan in the Fiesta Bowl semifinal, the Bulldogs would not succumb to the Hypnotoads’ spell.

Georgia turned in one of the all-time beatdowns in a big game, reminiscent of Nebraska running over Florida by 38 in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl, USC’s 36-point rout of Oklahoma in the 2005 Orange Bowl and Alabama’s 28-point BCS blowout over Notre Dame in 2013.

But this was worse.

Too much talent. Too well-coached. Two straight titles for the ‘Dawgs.

No team has ever scored more points in a national championship game, dating to the beginning of the BCS in 1998.

With 13:25 left in the fourth quarter, Smart called timeout in the middle of an offensive drive so Bennett could exit to hero’s ovation in the final game of his circuitous college career.

“That was special,” said Bennett, who finished 18 for 25 for 304 yards and four touchdown passes. “I’ll remember that for the rest of my life.”

Georgia offensive linemen were munching on chicken wings on the sideline as the game wound down. Then, for the second straight year, the Bulldogs were showered by confetti and presented a championship trophy.

“I love this team, I love those fans, I love our band. I love everybody,” Bennett said during the presentation ceremony. “Back-to-back, baby. Back-to-back.”

Smart is now 81-15 in his first seven seasons at Georgia with two national titles. His mentor, Alabama coach Nick Saban, was 79-15 with three titles in his first seven seasons with the Tide.

The Bulldogs were a different kind of dominant this season: not quite as stingy on defense, but more explosive on offense.

Earlier in Smart’s tenure at his alma mater, Georgia fans worried about whether the former defensive coordinator for Saban would be able to build an offense to match this high-scoring era of college football.

Under third-year coordinator Todd Monken, the Bulldogs have become prolific, creative and diverse offensively. They picked apart TCU’s 3-3-5 defense from all angles.

Versatile tight end Brock Bowers had seven catches for 152 yards. Receiver Ladd McConkey caught two TDs. Georgia ran for 254 yards with seven players gaining at least 10.

The Bulldogs scored all six times they touched the ball in the first half. Twice Bennett ran it in himself; the former walk-on turned two-time national champion was barely touched on the two quarterback keepers.

He hit a wide-open McConkey for a 34-yard score in the first quarter, a perfectly executed play out of a bunched formation that had TCU’s defensive backs in disarray. Bennett’s 22-yard score to Adonai Mitchell was a higher degree of difficulty, dropped in over a defender who had tight coverage.

It looked a lot like the Bennett-to-Mitchell touchdown that gave Georgia a fourth-quarter lead it would not relinquish against Alabama in last year’s CFP title game.

Georgia vanquished the Tide to break a 41-year national title drought last season, avenging its only regular-season loss in the process.

There was no such drama against the upstart Horned Frogs.

“The journey was great. It’s something I’ll never forget,” TCU running back Emari Demercado said. “Obviously, didn’t end how we wanted it, but at the end of the day this journey was something great.”

This year the Bulldogs never had to worry about Alabama. They rolled through the SEC, survived Ohio State in a classic CFP semifinal and then completed a perfect season with an historic blowout.

Bennett hit Bowers for a 22-yard score with 10:52 left in the third quarter to make it 45-7. The sophomore from Northern California signaled touchdown while lying on the turf at Sofi Stadium. Bennett smiled as he tapped helmets with one of his linemen.

Georgia’s famous bulldog mascot UGA could not make cross-country trip to root on his team, but it still felt a little like Sanford Stadium in SoCal.

Many of the TCU fans cleared out with more than half the fourth quarter left, choosing to venture out into a rainy and chilly night rather than watch any more of the massive mismatch.

Heisman Trophy runner-up Max Duggan threw two first-half interceptions in the final game of his roller-coaster TCU career.

A four-year starter who never played in a bowl before this season, Duggan led TCU on one of the most improbable runs in college football history.

Unranked after a losing 2021 season and picked seventh in the Big 12 for Sonny Dykes’ first year as coach, the Frogs won nine games by 10 or fewer points. They were within a victory of the program’s first national title since 1938.

But they ran into monster.

“As long as you don’t have entitlement in your program, you’ve got a shot,” Smart said. “And right now we don’t have that.”

BOSTON – There was a time it was just Zach LaVine.

At least that’s how it felt on many nights when the old Bulls regime was still running in rebuild mud, and it was sink or swim with the No. 8.

No Nikola Vucevic patrolling the middle, no DeMar DeRozan playing hero.

For about 18 minutes on Monday, it felt like old times, as DeRozan was forced out of the game with Boston because of a right quadriceps injury, leaving LaVine to finally get back the reins and try and deliver what would have been the signature win of the season against the Celtics in the Garden.

LaVine scored 15 of his team-high 27 points in that final stanza, and while it was valiant, it still wasn’t enough to overcome the home team, as the Bulls dropped the regular-season finale against Boston 107-99.

“You want to have your boy with you, he got hurt,” LaVine said of his night. “We were down, we’ve all been in that position before.

“You just gotta lay it out there. You’re not going to win by feeling sorry for yourself or we’re down a man. Just go lay it out there and see what happens. Couple little bounces here and there, it could have been our game.”

He wasn’t wrong about that.

It did come down to bounces.

Down as many as 16, LaVine helped lead the charge back, and with 1:17 left a Nikola Vucevic layup cut the deficit to just two. The Bulls (19-22) seemed to continue riding that momentum wave on a Jaylen Brown miss, setting the stage for LaVine to throw another dagger in the direction of the Eastern Conference-leading Celtics.

He got a solid look baseline, but his 16-footer went in and out with 50 seconds left. Al Horford didn’t have that same misfortune. The veteran hit what proved to be the shot of the night, as his three-point attempt bounced up in the air much like LaVine’s did, but caught the right bounce at the right time.

Just like that, the comeback and LaVine’s heroics went silent.

“He led the way,” DeRozan said of LaVine. “I felt like he was going to close that thing out, give ourselves the opportunity to walk away with this thing. I wasn’t surprised. I’ve seen it in him. Al hit the big shot, shake his hand, but as far as Zach, I knew he was going to turn it up, try and will us to get a win.”

The good news for the Bulls was even with the loss, they still ended up finishing the season series with Boston 2-2. Considering the Celtics (29-12) only have 12 losses and two of them came courtesy of the Bulls? Not bad at all.

The bad news was DeRozan’s quad strain. The veteran hasn’t missed a game all season long, and while the quad had been bothering him for “like eight games,” his hope was his attendance record would stay perfect on the season.

“I thought I tripped, but I guess apparently I tripped over nothing but the parquet floor,” DeRozan said of how the injury occurred, and yes, he was using sarcasm.

DeRozan actually felt like he was tripped by a Celtics player, but the officials missed it.

“I feel fine other than it being real irritated, nothing too crazy,” he continued. “It’s just in that spot that moving you just need that to simmer down. We’ll see how I feel [Tuesday].”

As for LaVine, he also finished the game with six assists and seven rebounds, despite a shaky 4-for-13 from three.

“[LaVine] knew a lot was going to fall on his shoulders, and I give him credit for taking on that responsibility,” coach Billy Donovan said of his two-time All-Star. “Zach just knew, ‘I need to do this.’ ”

Two thoughts about these Bears:

First, this might be the worst Bears team I’ve seen.

Yes, there have been other bad ones, such as the 1969 team that went 1-13. But they had Gale Sayers and Dick Butkus, excitement on either side of the ball.

The 2016 Bears were 3-13, and, yes, they were terrible. Nothing to see there unless Brian Hoyer got you worked up. A possible contender.

But no Bears team had lost 14 games in a season until this one. (Yes, there’s a 17-game schedule, but never mind that.) And none had lost 10 in a row until this one.

Second, Bears quarterbacks are to passing as stone masons are to neurosurgery. They are dangerously inept. Traditionally, culturally, historically, they can’t throw the football in a passing system.

As I’ve mentioned, this is something that couldn’t happen by accident. Statistically, it’s virtually impossible. Bad passing is to the Bears as stink is to skunks. It’s what they are, what makes them them.

We could get into the why, but I’d rather not. It’s like descending into a sewer system with a toothbrush.

Consider that Erik Kramer is still the Bears’ single-season leader in passing yardage with 3,838. He did that in 1995.

Just this season, nine NFL quarterbacks had more yards than that in the first 16 games. Want to know whom? Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff, Geno Smith, Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen and Trevor Lawrence.

The cold-weather excuse?

Tell it to Aaron Rodgers or, before him, Brett Favre. Between them, the two Packers quarterbacks have had 20 seasons with more passing yardage than any Bears quarterback. It gets cold in Green Bay, too, eh?

Passing offense happens everywhere but in Chicago — even in Buffalo. (We’ll ignore the uniquely pitiful Browns for the moment. Only God can fix that franchise.)

No, it’s a dilemma. A Bears thing. And even with Justin Fields resting up, getting ready for all the supposed talent general manager Ryan Poles is going to throw at him after the coming draft, you have to figure Bears-ness will drag Fields down.

It hurts to bring this up, but it’s a pattern. It’s a curse, like that 108-year thing that kept the Cubs down until 2016.

The Bears’ offense seems older than club matriarch Virginia McCaskey, who turned 100 on Thursday. And, remember, in 1923, the Bears finished 9-2-1, behind only the champion Canton Bulldogs.

It’s hard to imagine a Bears quarterback throwing for 4,000 yards. It would be almost a breach of contract. Like a sin, needing penance.

And yet 4,000 yards is a sort of benchmark for good quarterback play. Since Joe Namath first did it in 1967, it has been achieved by more than 50 quarterbacks.

This season, Mahomes had 5,250 yards passing. Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Jameis Winston, Dan Marino, Matthew Stafford, Brady and Herbert all have thrown for more than 5,000 yards.

You could say, yeah, those are good quarterbacks. A skeptic could say that if they had come to the Bears they would be average. Or hurt. Or something blah.

The point here is now-fired coach Lovie Smith and his Texans gave the Bears a ridiculous gift by beating the Colts on Sunday: the first pick in the 2023 draft. There are good quarterbacks out there. C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young, Hendon Hooker, Max Duggan — one or more is going to be a passing star in the NFL.

Are the Bears set at quarterback? Fields threw for a measly 2,242 yards this season, backup numbers. Forget that he ran for more than 1,000 yards. He’ll get badly injured if he keeps that up. Everybody talks about his potential, but quarterbacks have to pass the ball. They must. And do it well.

The Bears likely will trade that coveted No. 1 draft pick to a team that desperately needs a quarterback and has determined which kid in the draft is the bell cow, the zenith. It’s likely the Bears could determine whom that is, too. But they once thought it was Jay Cutler in a trade and Mitch Trubisky in the draft. So why trust them now?

So Fields it is.

And if you wonder whether, even with talent all around him, Fields can pass the Bears into modern times, stay alert. Because unless he can, we’ll keep sitting around the campfire, talking about olden days, recalling the flying wedge, Bronko Nagurski and clods of dirt.

BOSTON – Zach LaVine is way more businessman than salesman when it comes to the free throw line.

He’s been trying to figure out how to change that, but the Bulls guard still finds himself looking for a little respect.

LaVine has seemingly never been given the benefit of the doubt by NBA officials when it comes to attacking the rim and drawing the foul.

With two All-Star appearances on the resume and a max contract in the bank, he was figuring that could change a bit coming into the 2022-23 campaign. It hasn’t. If anything, it’s gotten worse.

“I don’t know,” LaVine said, when asked why he doesn’t get more favorable whistles. “I keep attacking, I try to at least. It’s not like I’m not going to the hole and trying to get contact. It’s frustrating. I try and play through it.”

And his reward for that entering the game with the Celtics on Monday has been 4.3 free throw attempts per game – his lowest since the 2016-17 season with the Timberwolves.

“Maybe I have to learn how to sell it a little better,” LaVine said. “I’ve never been good about selling it to get calls. I try and get the and-one. I’ll keep fighting through it. If not, there’s other ways to combat through it and get to the line. I’ll figure it out.”

Hopefully sooner than later.

For someone that has made attacking the rim a big part of his game the last nine seasons, LaVine does make a good point about the lack of whistles. His best season in getting to the free throw line came in 2018-19, when LaVine averaged 6.0 attempts per game.

To put that in perspective, teammate DeMar DeRozan – who attacks mid-range in the paint and does have elite footwork – was averaging 8.2 attempts per game this season, and has been below six free throw attempts per game just once in the last decade.

Crash Caruso

Alex Caruso was back in the rotation in Boston, recovered from an ankle sprain that cost him the last two games.

It’s been a strange last month for the team’s best wing defender, as he’s missed six of the last 15 games with different ailments, but watched his teammates go 4-2 in his absence.

Still, coach Billy Donovan knows the Bulls are a better team with a healthy Caruso than one in street clothes. The puzzle remained how to keep him healthy. Monitoring his minutes remained the most logical answer.

“One of the things that we had talked about at the end of last year was his availability,” Donovan said. “He brought it up when he and I talked about it [in the exit interview]. Even talking to him, throughout his career he hasn’t really played as many minutes as he’s played for us.

“But I also think with the way he plays and how hard he plays, there are certain guys I think just the way they are they can absorb night after night after night 36 [minutes]. I’m not saying Alex can’t endure it, he just hasn’t been asked to do that through a good portion of his career.”

Green update

Javonte Green remained sidelined with right knee soreness, as the waiting game continued on how he recovers in the therapy he’s been undergoing with trainers.

“They want to basically continue to do treatment on him and just see where he is after a week or so through the treatment,” Donovan said. “I think he’s still having some discomfort. See where it goes from there.”

Green has now missed 13 games with the knee issue.
