Bears defensive backs clear concussion protocol

Bears first-year defensive back Kyler Gordon and rookie safety Jaquan Brisker will rejoin the team this week.

The Bears are gearing up for their Week 15 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles after a much-needed bye week. The top rookie cornerback Kyler Gordon and safety Jaquan Brisker are returning, which is encouraging news on the injury front. Due to concussions, Gordon and Brisker were forced to miss the previous two games.

Per Matt Eberflus on WBBM Newsradio 780 “It’s important that we do a good job of ramping them up”. “They haven’t done much for the last three weeks. “It’s going to be exciting to get those guys back. They’re both really good rookies and having a good year. We’re excited about that.”

Bears rookie DB’s Jaquan Brisker and Kyler Gordon coming back.
“Those guys will be cleared off of protocol.” -Matt Eberflus, Monday morning @WBBMNewsradio

— Josh Liss (@JoshLissSports) December 12, 2022

In the Bear’s 11 games this season, Gordon has accumulated 55 tackles, one interception, four pass breakups, and one forced fumble. Over the same time, Brisker has accumulated 73 tackles, one interception, three sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and one pass breakup.

The Chicago Bears (3-10) host the Eagles (12-1) on Sunday at Soldier Field.

An inside look at how the Bulls’ DeMar DeRozan keeps drawing fouls

ATLANTA – Jalen Johnson tried to stay on the ground.

A lot of young NBA players do.

However, as soon as the second-year Hawks forward jumped into the air near DeMar DeRozan’s arm, the Bulls veteran knew it was over. Taking ice cream from a child, as the whistle blew and DeRozan was again headed to the free throw line in the third quarter on Sunday night.

But shame on Bogdan Bogdanovic.

“Boggy” – as his Atlanta teammates call him – played professionally overseas since 2012, and in the NBA since 2017. He should have known better.

There he was, however, just a half a second left in the overtime and holding onto a two-point lead as DeRozan got the ball. Bogdanovic tried to avoid it, but hit DeRozan on the arm, and committed the ultimate sin. He fouled DeRozan beyond the three-point line.

That’s the beauty in what DeRozan does. He doesn’t discriminate. Young player, five-year vet, old man at the YMCA … they’re all pawns for DeRozan. Yes, he’s taken the nickname “King in the Fourth” because of his late-game heroics, but he’s also the king in his on-going foul-drawing chess match.

The opposition? They just find themselves in checkmate.

“I’ve seen it so many times, for so many years, but yeah, it still surprises me that he’s getting guys like he does,” Bulls center Nikola Vucevic said of DeRozan’s art form. “It’s hard because you have to contest, but he’s so good at setting it up. When they jump on the pump fake, it’s like, ‘Why? He’s been doing this for years. Why are you still falling for it?’ The way he sets guys up, though, he’s so good at it. It’s just really hard to defend because you want to get the stop so bad, and he just takes you there.”

That he does, not only taking you there, but leaving you stranded to plead your case with an official while he’s making his way to the free throw line.

As of Monday, a journey DeRozan has taken 211 times so far this season, with his free throw attempts tying him for fifth in the NBA. Last year, he finished third in that attempts category.

“[DeRozan’s] been doing it for such a long time, and he’s got a really unique ability to play in these tight spaces and recognize where he has advantages in tight spaces,” coach Billy Donovan said.

All true, but that only scratches the surface of his art form. Because make no mistake about it, it is art. And much like Sun Tzu’s “Art of War.”

Not only does DeRozan understand spacing and his own ability, but he studies his enemies and their habits when guarding him. A lesson he learned from the Mamba Dojo, where Kobe Bryant – DeRozan’s idol – was his sensei.

“Each time, every defender, each guy,” DeRozan said, when asked about even studying opposing players in-game from possession to possession. “It’s easier to get young guys because if you ever watch when I play young guys I go right to it. Every person that guards me, whether they’re long, aggressive, quick, whatever, I put all that into consideration when I’m playing against guys.”

That means not only is DeRozan watching film, but putting together an in-game mental index of defenders and how to get them to bite.

And at some point, maybe even with everything on the line, eventually someone just might. Bogdanovic found that out.

“Spots [on the floor], knowing the clock, knowing your angles, knowing ways to get your shot off, gauging how a defender is going to guard you … it’s so much that goes into it,” DeRozan said. “I wish it was just one thing, but it’s countless things I use to draw fouls. It comes with an IQ of doing it so long.”

With no letting up in sight.

An inside look at how the Bulls’ DeMar DeRozan keeps drawing fouls

ATLANTA – Jalen Johnson tried to stay on the ground.

A lot of young NBA players do.

However, as soon as the second-year Hawks forward jumped into the air near DeMar DeRozan’s arm, the Bulls veteran knew it was over. Taking ice cream from a child, as the whistle blew and DeRozan was again headed to the free throw line in the third quarter on Sunday night.

But shame on Bogdan Bogdanovic.

Bears rookies Kyler Gordon, Jaquan Brisker return from concussion protocol

The Bears are getting their top two draft picks from this season back.

Cornerback Kyler Gordon and safety Jaquan Brisker, who were each concussed during the Bears’ Nov. 20 loss to the Falcons, have been cleared from concussion protocol, head coach Matt Eberflus said Monday.

Gordon left the Falcons game with a head injury and didn’t return. Brisker was taken off the field by an independent concussion spotter twice and returned both times, only to be diagnosed with a concussion after the game.

Both are expected to play Sunday against the Eagles at Soldier Field. They participated in Monday’s walk-through and will return to practice starting Wednesday.

“It’s important for us to be able to ramp those guys up,” head coach Matt Eberflus said.

Brisker leads the Bears with three sacks — an impressive feat but also damning of the Bears’ pass rush. Gordon has been inconsistent from game-to-game while playing nickel cornerback; Eberflus said he wants to see more consistency in his tackling.

Analyst Reveals Poor Grade For White Sox Offseason So Far

The White Sox offseason has been meh

The Chicago White Sox offseason had one big move that will make Southsiders happy. And it wasn’t made by the team’s brass. Tony La Russa stepped down as the club’s manager following the season. The White hired first-time manager Pedro Grifol to take his place. The White Sox offseason has been mostly dull since that hiring. One analyst recently gave the team a poor grade for their offseason up to mid-December.

The White Sox roster doesn’t appear much better than the one that disappointed in 2022 and missed the playoffs. The team still has its young core, but some key pieces were lost for next season. Jose Abreu leaving for the Houston Astros is a hole in the lineup the White Sox will need to fill.

Jim Bowden with The Athletic handed out grades so far this offseason for all 30 MLB teams. Bowden gave the White Sox offseason a “D” grade for their moves up to this point in December:

“The White Sox entered the offseason looking to upgrade their outfield with a left-handed hitter, improve at second base and add a starting pitcher. So far, they’ve only accomplished the latter, by signing Mike Clevinger, but it felt like an overpay for a pitcher who has yet to regain his pre-Tommy John surgery form. Clevinger was inconsistent last season for San Diego (4.33 ERA, 4.97 FIP), with velocity and command issues that would come and go from appearance to appearance. I thought he’d get a contract with a lower base salary and performance incentives. The best part of Chicago’s offseason was the hiring of manager Pedro Grifol, who was an excellent choice.”

This White Sox offseason has been a bummer

The White Sox need to be aggressive while they have an exciting group of players that includes Luis Robert, Yoan Moncada, and Eloy Jimenez. That core has the potential to be an AL Central dynasty. Losing Abreu wasn’t that big of a deal because he struggles in cold weather. And it gets chilly in Chicago come postseason time. He’s an expensive bat not to play well at the beginning and end of a season.

However, they haven’t spent the money to bring in more talent that would better their 2022 result. As Bowden notes, Clevinger is something of a risk. The White Sox still need bats to move runners, which doomed them last season.

As of now, there’s no reason for White Sox fans to be more hopeful for the 2023 season. Other than hoping the manager change nets them more wins. But spending cash to improve the roster will do more than a coaching a change. That’s something Chicago Fans who thought the Bears would be better, minus Matt Nagy, have learned this season.

Patti LaBelle rushed off stage, theater evacuated after bomb threat

MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Patti LaBelle was abruptly rushed off stage just a couple of songs into her Christmas concert in Milwaukee after a bomb threat forced authorities to evacuate the theater.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that video from the Riverside Theater on Saturday night shows what appears to be two security officers interrupting the 78-year-old LaBelle as she chats with an audience member. They rush her off stage. Shortly after, someone announced that the nearly full 2,500-seat theater had to be evacuated because of a bomb threat.

Catherine Brunson, who documented the evacuation on Facebook Live, told the newspaper that the evacuation happened two songs into LaBelle’s concert around 9:24 p.m.

“We came out and police had the block taped off. … A whole lot of people were pretty upset. … It’s scary,” Brunson said.

Scott Pierce, who also attended the concert, said everyone exited the theater calmly, but it’s “just sad that someone does this.”

Milwaukee Police Capt. Warren Allen Jr. said in a statement early Sunday that K9 units searched the theater and no explosive devices were discovered, so there was no threat to the public.

As of Sunday morning, LaBelle hadn’t issued a statement about the evacuation on social media. The operator of the Riverside Theater, Pabst Theater Group, said it would work with LaBelle to reschedule the show in the future.

Chicago’s ‘Walking Man’ dies several months after being set on fire on Lower Wacker

Chicago’s ‘Walking Man’ died Sunday afternoon, several months after he was set on fire as he slept on Lower Wabash Avenue.

Joseph Kromelis, 75, died Sunday afternoon, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Kromelis — a homeless man known for walking the streets of the Loop — was sleeping under blankets in the 400 block of North Lower Wabash Avenue on the night of May 25 when surveillance cameras captured Joseph Guardia, 27, walking up and standing over him silently for 16 seconds, prosecutors said in a court hearing in May.

The video allegedly shows Guardia walking to a nearby intersection then returning and pouring gasoline over Kromelis’ uncovered head and igniting it.

Doctors initially said the 75-year-old was not expected to recover after he was lit on fire for nearly three minutes. His upper body was engulfed in flames, and he suffered third-degree burns over 65% of his body.

About four months later, Kromelis was discharged from Stroger Hospital and continued to recover at a rehab facility, having to undergo additional surgeries.

Guardia provided no other motive than “being an angry person, and claimed he wanted to burn trash but did not realize there was a person there.”

Six years earlier — on May 24, 2016 — Kromelis was brutally beaten by someone with a baseball bat in the 400 block of East Lower Wacker Drive. The two were struggling over the bat when police arrived.
