Why Chicago Bears’ Robert Quinn will break the sack record against GiantsRyan Heckmanon December 27, 2021 at 2:00 pm

When general manager Ryan Pace signed Robert Quinn to a 5-year contract worth $70 million in the offseason of 2020, Chicago Bears fans weren’t exactly thrilled. This was the offseason where we saw Tom Brady go to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, DeAndre Hopkins get traded to the Arizona Cardinals and anticipated that the Bears would […]

Chicago Bears Rumors: A very big day coming at Halas HallRyan Heckmanon December 27, 2021 at 2:30 pm

For the moment, the Chicago Bears could enjoy a rarely-seen win. Veteran quarterback Nick Foles took the start for Chicago against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16 and led an improbable, late, game-winning drive. With the Bears down by seven, Foles swiftly led the Bears offense down the field and threw a touchdown to Jimmy […]

Chicago Bears QB Nick Foles gives subtle jab to Matt NagyRyan Heckmanon December 27, 2021 at 12:54 pm

When the Chicago Bears took the field on Sunday afternoon, their season was already mathematically over. The playoffs were no longer an option at 4-10, therefore this team was playing for pride. Make no mistake, though. The Bears were not playing for their head coach. No matter what anyone has said about Matt Nagy still […]

Last second decision leads to huge Chicago Bears victoryVincent Pariseon December 27, 2021 at 12:00 pm

The Chicago Bears are not a good football team. However, they are capable of having good moments. They had one of those on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks who are usually a Super Bowl contender. Unfortunately for them, they have had a bad year as well. It is interesting to watch after some of the […]

Michael O’Brien’s Super 25 high school basketball rankings for Dec. 26, 2021

Curie’s Phoenix Bullock (1) drives the ball past Leo’s Tyler Smith (1). | Kirsten Stickney/For the Sun-Times

Lyons and Rolling Meadows return to the rankings.

Seventeen of the Super 25 teams didn’t play a game last week, so there hasn’t been much movement.

DePaul Prep drops out after losing to Hinsdale Central in the second round of the Red Devils’ holiday tournament. The young Rams were sailing by on an undefeated record before that. They lack a high quality win.

St. Rita also drops out. Homewood-Flossmoor knocked the Mustangs off in the second round at Hinsdale Central. St. Rita’s young talent is so tantalizing, but it just isn’t consistently beating quality teams.

Lyons joins the rankings at No. 24. The Lions only losses are to Glenbard West and Riverside-Brookfield and they have a nice win against Hinsdale Central.

Rolling Meadows also rejoins the rankings. The Mustangs don’t have a major win yet, but their only loss is to Wheaton Warrenville South and that keeps looking better as the Tigers rack up wins.

So this is where things stand as we head into the wild holiday tournament week. Expect everything to look totally different next Sunday. We should learn so much about so many teams.
