Two things are interesting about the Chicago Bears’ head coach’s decision to give up playcalling. Chicago Bears fans across the country — well most of them anyway — rejoiced when they heard the news break that head coach Matt Nagy was going to give up playcalling duties, starting with tonight’s Minnesota Viking’s game.

Are you thankful that 2020 is almost over? Thanksgiving is coming, so while we may not all be celebrating exactly how we normally would, it’s about time we rustle up some gratitude and make the most of what we have. If you, like many of us, are looking for ways to inject a little holiday cheer into the coming weeks, check out these fun and festive holiday events Chicago still has to offer this winter.

Ice Skating at Maggie Daley Park

Starting November 20th, embrace the brisk winter weather and lace up for some skating on the Ribbon! It’s a good way to get outdoors, enjoy the inevitable change of seasons, and do something fun and a little frivolous for a while.

Virtual Christkindlmarket

It’s true that Christkindlmarket won’t be the same without the throngs of people, but think of it this way: you don’t even have to leave your couch (and risk the warmth of your precious toesies) to get your hands on a Christkindlmarket traditional mug! Just order it on the official website, along with all sorts of other goodies from the market’s affiliated vendors.

Illumination: Tree Lights at Morton Arboretum

For a lot of people, the Holiday Season begins with Thanksgiving, and for those same people, the Holiday Season requires lots of lights— the twinklier, the better. Starting November 20th, Morton Arboretum’s Illumination: Tree Lights enables guests not only to see impressive light displays among the trees, but also to experience the holiday cheer from the comfort of their own vehicles.

Magnificent Mile Lights Festival

Presented by ABC 7 Chicago, the Lights Festival takes place Sunday, November 22th, and includes musical performances and the lighting of trees along Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. No parade this year, but this way you can take in the festivities while wearing your jammies.

Thanksgiving takeout from local restaurants

Turkey Day may feel a bit different this year, but why not lean into the unusual and make it really interesting with a little help from your favorite local restaurants? Lots of hot spots around the city are offering takeout on Thanksgiving, including Luella’s Southern Kitchen, Maple & Ash, Alinea, and more.

Even if you followed the Chicago White Sox for a small amount of time this past offseason, it would have been impossible to miss all the hype surrounding this team. After their 2019 season, many fans had high hopes and expectations going into 2020. Of course, these expectations were easily met after the season this team had. The White Sox sat on top of the AL standings for a majority of the year and even managed to make the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. With things trending in the right direction for this talented young team, we’re definitely excited for what the future holds.

Reflecting on Last Year’s Unusual Season

The 2020 MLB season for the Chicago White Sox didn’t exactly begin like normal. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the entire league suspended play before their planned start on March 26. Once owners and players ironed out the details for a shortened 60-game season, games resumed on July 23. Each game held nearly 3X the importance and this made them that much more exciting. 

For the Chicago White Sox, things couldn’t have gone much better in 2020. After starting 1-4 to open the season, the team would play 28 games in the month of August and go 19-9 in that stretch. Fans surely expected them to do well, but their performance easily exceeded many expectations we all had. A lot of the team’s success can be attributed to the impact the rookies made. Whether it was Luis Robert or Nick Madrigal, the young guys on a young team stepped up to the challenge. Tim Anderson and Jose Abreu were also forces to be reckoned with for the majority of the year and Abreu would eventually be named the AL MVP. We hope that his success continues for years to come.

Looking Ahead to Next Year

When it was all said and done, the Chicago White Sox season saw them finish with a 35-25 record, which gave them a Wild Card berth against the Oakland A’s. Unfortunately, an early series road win wasn’t enough to get the job done, and the team would quickly exit the playoffs in the Wild Card. 

As the White Sox head into the offseason, one of the big things on their to-do list is finding a new manager. After parting ways with Rick Renteria, the team named Tony La Russa as their new manager at the end of October. This decision raised a lot of eyebrows throughout the league, as La Russa hasn’t managed a team in ages, and there were a lot of questions about how his style would match with the team’s young core. Things didn’t look any better when the news dropped that La Russa was charged with a DUI at the beginning of November. It’s not the best thing to happen with your new team manager, and the team has stated that they understand the seriousness of the situation and will wait for the legal process to play out.

Chicago Stereotypes That Most Definitely Aren’t True

Want to dispel some Chicago myths? Check out these Chicago stereotypes that definitely don’t ring true.

Chicago Stereotypes That Most Definitely Aren’t True

Outside of the new manager headaches, the White Sox are in a prime position to build onto their young core in free agency. Adding a couple more pieces to this talented roster could mean the difference between an early postseason exit and a World Series title. And after the past couple of years this team has had, there should be no reason that this isn’t White Sox top goal going forward. Look out MLB, the Chicago White Sox are back!

As the state of Illinois finds itself amidst a second wave of COVID-19, they are urging non-essential workers and private businesses to work from home if possible to mitigate unnecessary risk and half the spread of the virus. It’s important to note that this is just a suggestion from the state and not a mandatory stay-at-home order as it was in the spring, despite the fact that the state has skyrocketed beyond the numbers it had last spring.

Simply put, the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago have no control over COVID-19. Despite more knowledge of how the virus spreads, how deadly it can be, and the most effective ways to limit the spread of it, we have more cases and more deaths per day than we did in the spring. Wednesday’s news release from the Illinois Department of Public Health stated, “To slow the spread, for the next three weeks, all Illinoisans should work from home if possible; stay at home as much as possible, leaving only for “necessary and essential activities,” like grocery shopping; and limit all travel and gatherings, even small ones…” 

The state reported 72 new deaths of COVID-19 on Sunday, after logging the single-most deaths since June 8th just last week and the state is the lone state in the union that is currently averaging 10,000 new cases per day. And the numbers are only going to get worse, according to an UrbanMatter Chicago source. An official with AMITA Health in the city tells us that they don’t expect a peak of cases until at least January. This projection comes as Pfizer and the federal government announced progress on a potential vaccine. And while news of a potential vaccine is promising it is not imminent. You will not be treated tomorrow, but you can limit where you go tomorrow, and that’s the difference.

View the Latest Updates on Chicago’s COVID-19 Restriction

A few weeks ago the city of Chicago moved back to Phase 3 of their COVID-19 reopening plan. What are the latest updates?

Chicago Moves Back to Phase 3

This becomes even more important as the holiday season approaches and Illinoisans begin making their plans to see their families if they even are able to. Small things like working from home could be the difference between a smooth holiday season or wishing a loved one a Happy Thanksgiving from the other side of a FaceTime call. In addition, the holiday season comes with colder weather, too, and officials worry that the winter could exacerbate the latest outbreak and create a spiral of bad fortune with health care workers in limited supply unable care for all people infected.

Increased testing facilities in the city have become paramount to Chicago’s ability to combat the virus. The Illinois Department of Public Health has listed all available testing facilities on its website. As the holiday season inches closer families remain concerned about being able to see loved ones, and getting tested before and after Thanksgiving is strongly urged.

As we all expected, the latest Chicago COVID-19 update and news is that the city is trending rapidly towards returning to Phase 3 of the coronavirus shutdown as a second surge of the virus turns course.

Per the mayor’s latest press conference, Chicago is averaging over 500 new cases per day, which is a 45 percent increase from just seven days ago. According to the latest news, testing itself has increased by only 11 percent, meaning the city’s positivity rate is up nearly 5.4 percent from 4.2 percent. As a result of these updated numbers, the mayor is hinting at returning the city to some of the restrictions that halted the number of cases earlier in the summer.

Mayor Lightfoot stated, “If we don’t see a dramatic turnaround in our numbers and soon, then we will not hesitate to take the steps that are necessary to save our city, save our residents, even if that means going back to some of our Phase 3 restrictions.”

On Monday, Illinois public health officials announced COVID-19 updates of 3,113 new cases, along with 22 additional deaths, and are urging Chicagoans to not be careless with the virus, fearing a sense of complacency and over-confidence heading into the winter months.

A lot of sacrifices have been made as a result of COVID-19, but the latest news indicates the city is inching closer to reverting towards Phase 3. Phase 3 of the coronavirus shut down included mandatory limiting to groups of 10 or less, a restriction on indoor dining and other practices, and curtailing non-essentials workers and schools to operate remotely.

While the number of cases has drastically risen, city officials insinuated that the latest COVID-19 news is not a result of increased testing but rather a rise in cases. The number of deaths has remained stable in Chicago and the number of infected patients being hospitalized is still lower, as well. While promising that those numbers remained stable, the virus has taken at least 3,000 Chicagoans to this point.

If it can be any indication of the times, Governor J.B. Pritzker has returned to making daily coronavirus briefings as he did at the beginning of the pandemic. Those briefings are streamed live every day at 2:30 PM, and give updates and insight alongside some of the top health officials in the state.

“Things are getting worse. Now is the time to wear a mask where you go…Forgo unnecessary trips or gatherings and take extra care to stay 6 feet away from others, especially in public,” Gov. Pritzker said. Mayor Lightfoot continued to reiterate that sentiment.

Neighboring states such as Wisconsin, Missouri, and Indiana are seeing skyrocketing cases, making it increasingly difficult for Chicago to stay out of the crosshairs, as it is such a popular destination for leisure and business to other Midwestern states.

Should Chicago’s positivity rate continue to climb at the rate of surrounding areas, it’s inevitable that a scale back in how we are able to operate daily is coming.

UPDATE–

During her standard afternoon press conference, Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced there will be certain rollbacks as the city combats a second surge of COVID-19.

• All bars without food licenses can no longer serve patrons indoors.
• All liquor sales must stop at 9pm.
• All non-essential business are to close from 10pm to 6am as part of a small business curfew for two weeks.
• The mayor is requesting Chicagoans do not gather in groups of 6 or more socially, and if they do, to end them by 10 pm.

EFFECTIVE TOMORROW: New measures go into effect to slow the spread of COVID-19 in Chicago. Essential businesses like grocery stores, pharmacies and gas stations will be able to stay open during the non-essential business curfew. More info https://t.co/njOQ14kE6Y. pic.twitter.com/e7ixwjMFM7

— Mayor Lori Lightfoot (@chicagosmayor) October 22, 2020

This was all expected, as the city’s positivity rate has been skyrocketing for weeks now, leaving many to wonder just how far the city will rollback as the winter approaches. The mayor’s chief hope here is that these rollbacks in the hospitality industry can urge people to get back to the basics and start to halt the continued spread of this second surge.

UPDATE 10/27–

The governor stepped to the podium for his daily coronavirus briefing on Tuesday and delivered news that we all feared was imminent. Beginning on Friday, there will be no more indoor dining or bar service in the city of Chicago. There has been a rise in new cases every day in Chicago for eight consecutive days and the state has decided to add Cook County to the list of crisis regions. Bars and restaurants must close by 11 p.m and all patrons will be required to be seated outdoors — which should be fun considering it is getting nice and chilly outside. All gatherings must be limited to 25 people.

Chicago Bears activate Lamar Miller, but does it even matter? by Ryan Heckman

Chicago Bulls: 3-team trades to consider heading into 2020 NBA Draft by Ryan Heckman

The Chicago Bulls have until December 21st to decide whether or not Lauri Markkanen deserves an extension on his rookie contract.

To extend or not to extend, that is the question for the Chicago Bulls.

Whether ’tis nobler…

No, I’m not finishing that. However, the question of extending Lauri Markkanen is a prevalent one, and it falls on Bulls executives Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley.

The Bulls and the rest of the NBA were informed that the last day to extend rookie contracts would be December 21st, the day before 2020 opening night, and that puts the new front office in a precarious situation.

Markkanen is in the last year of his rookie deal (save for a qualifying fifth-year option if he isn’t extended) and is yet to perform consistently enough to earn a massive deal that, not long ago, was pretty much his for the taking.

Anybody else remember that February? That was the Lauri Markkanen that was in the conversation to receive a max extension when the time came.

That first game of the season where he put up 35 and 17; what happened to that guy?

[embedded content]

This year, Lauri was a ghost in the Boylen offense outside of that first game, just wandering out on the perimeter and shooting a subpar percentage from deep to compliment his career-low numbers in scoring, rebounding and nearly everything else.

Read now >>

On top of all of the inconsistent play is his lack of availability. The former first-round selection has yet to play a complete 82 game season, only playing in 170 of a possible 229 games due to a number of injuries.

Beyond that, Markkanen’s defensive capabilities have been nonexistent. His ability to guard smaller guards and wings is lacking, opposing bigs usually own him in the paint, and those issues are exaggerated when he isn’t doing anything offensively.

Karnisovas and company seem high on Markkanen though, with reports surfacing that he was more of an untouchable than his frontcourt mate in Wendell Carter Jr.

There is hope that Markkanen will actually see his breakthrough (that should have happened last year) in the new offense.

His talent is apparent, and hopefully, Donovan implementing a more pick-and-roll focused approach to the offense will help Markkanen find his spots.

The other aspect of Markkanen’s game that has yet to be fully expressed is his fluid athleticism.

Using his size and power along with his leaping ability should make him more of a dominant player inside the arc than we have seen (WHERE WAS THAT DRAG-STEP MOVE LAST YEAR?).

We’ve seen the dunks in pregame warm-ups, but I would give my car to see Lauri drive and put in on someone’s head.

This year, it is crucial that Markkanen takes the next step in his game. Improving as a passer and a defender should be added to the realistic expectation that he should at least be a 20-10 player. That’s what is going to get him the big bucks.

Next: Bulls: Trade packages to move up for LaMelo

Markkanen is a unique talent with his size and shooting, but he has yet to prove himself. Should Karnisovas take the gamble on extending him before the deadline or risk losing him to another team’s offer in restricted free agency?

Chicago Bulls (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)

There will be plenty of trades discussed before the 2020 NBA Draft. Could the Chicago Bulls get involved in a 3-team deal?

The countdown is on. We are now less than 72 hours away from the 2020 NBA Draft, and between now and then, lots could (and probably will) happen. The Chicago Bulls are a team to watch, as they possess the 4th overall pick and a new man in charge, Arturas Karnisovas.

Moves will be made, but will they be made in Chicago?

Word on the street is that there are several teams looking to move up in this year’s draft — and it’s an odd year to do so, because this class is nothing out of the ordinary. But, teams are still looking at making a move upwards. Maybe it’s because teams would be more willing to deal top picks. Either way, don’t count out the Bulls from making a trade or two.

Already, we’ve seen the first trade agreed to in principle, which will go through officially later this afternoon. The Los Angeles Lakers are snagging point guard Dennis Schroder from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for swing man Danny Green and the 28th overall pick in the draft.

Guys like Russell Westbrook, Jrue Holiday, Aaron Gordon and Chris Paul could be on the move as well, with others to come. It’s going to be a busy couple of days for the league, and basketball fans should be excited about it.

Bulls fans should be excited about it.

Every so often, a deal requires a third team to get things done. In the following three instances, Chicago could get involved and actually come away with a positive return. How could the Bulls find themselves in such a situation? There are three specific deals I could see as realistic options.

Next: Trade No. 1
