@JeffAgrest And the Bears are a very legitimate possibility for the Seahawks opponent.

@Ecnerwal23 @al5252 Agreed, Herb. I was replying to the more specific ask the other person suggested.
Honestly, I bet this is like NFL Thanksgiving...give em a good game, but no need for an elite one. Only game in town for baseball fans.

I’m glad to have the 2026 Championship Season starting tonight but shouldn’t it be with two teams that made the playoffs last season? Yankees are good but the Giants 👎🏾
English
@al5252 @Ecnerwal23 The baseball schedule comes out like halfway through the season before. Obviously any of the 15 opening series could be moved to tonight, but the matchup options are set well before that is known.
English
@Ecnerwal23 They should kickoff the season with a rematch of the LCS each yr or let the WS champ open against a rival. Start to build up a tradition with this sort of thing.
English
@CoffeeSacred @wyshynski I'm fine with the current system. I support divisional playoffs. It's conference playoffs that are dumb.
Chicago flying to LA is almost as stupid as NY teams going there.
English
@27dannych @wyshynski 1-16 isn’t fair. If you have oilers and Tampa first round flying across the continent playing the winner of Rangers and the Devils.
The current system is fine. This year is a one off in standings.
English
Assuming div champs get the first and second seeds, 1-through-8 gets you:
COL v NSH (same as WC format)
ANA v VGK
DAL v EDM
MIN v UTAH
Jack Williams@jackgwilliams
We need to bring back 1 thru 8 seeding in the playoffs. This is ridiculous
English
@InnocuousShark @wyshynski And it went away. Because they aren't real rivals. And like 15 classic rivalries faded in importance because they stopped playing each other when it mattered
English
@27dannych @wyshynski The best way to create rivalries is to have the best teams actually play each other in the later rounds when the stakes are higher
Detroit and Colorado’s rivalry would not have been as heated if it wasn’t constantly happening in the conference final
English
@barstoolWSD There'a nowhere near enough land, as you must know anytime the Sox get a crowd of 30,000 plus...half of what every Bears game would be.
English
I gotta question that's probably insanely dumb....Sox look to be going to the 78 or across the river from it. Why not build a new Bears stadium where Sox park currently is? Is it just timing?
Easy highway access, parking lots already exist plenty of land... it makes sense to me

@JamesRe76897740 @312SportsChi @dan_bernstein @MattAbbatacola @cody__cubs A very high percentage of media members that cover teams are not fans of that team. If what you want is actual journalism, analysis, sources, etc, their fandom is irrelevant.

Friendly reminder of the remaining Rivalries release schedule below.
Continue to be happy with the staggered approach. And year one was a big success for the league. So I'm very bullish we see the initiative continue for at least another four-year cycle through 2032.

@HalfMast412 @Ecnerwal23 That contract is really just one big salary cap game to have him on a minimal cap hit this year.
English
@Ecnerwal23 His legacy and $55M. I know his old lady is a billionaire but he still making a ton of bread.
English
This man loves ball because I know I would have been out after that loss to the Eagles last season
Nothing left to prove so it has to be all about furthering his legacy

Chiefs sign TE Travis Kelce to three-year, $54.7M deal. (via @RapSheet)

@Degen__inc @NFL @RapSheet You run a sports gambling subscription site but have no clue how the NFL salary cap works???

@jon_greenberg It does not bother me one bit...but I'm surprised that MLB officially puts its name on a challenge to drink 9 beers (probably more, guessing they're over 12 oz) in less than three hours.
English
It's shocking the White Sox aren't doing this. Maybe it's not unhealthy enough?
MLB@MLB
The 9-9-9 Challenge is back and will be available at even more ballparks in 2026 👀 Where will you be attempting the challenge? 🌭 New York Mets - Citi Field Philadelphia Phillies - Citizens Bank Park Colorado Rockies - Coors Field Houston Astros - Daikin Park Kansas City Royals - Kauffman Stadium San Francisco Giants - Oracle Park

@chicagobars Random ass early spring warm Saturdays are near the top of great days to be a Chicagoan.
English
I see many Chicago young people have decided to go observe second fake spring by going out for afternoon drinks as hard as if it was first fake spring.
Good job young people.

@BlueChkMark18 @FionaSmall Protestants who wear orange in Ireland do not consider themselves Irish, they consider themselves British. That is literally why they wear orange. They absolutely do not celebrate Irish culture or St.Patrick's Day.
English
@FionaSmall Orange is also the preferred color for Irish Protestants. The only time I wear green on St Patrick's Day is if Michigan State's NCAA tournament game falls on the 17th.
English
Throwback to this accidental political statement by the Chicago Bears for St Patrick’s Day
English
@patersonjeff All these mid-90s and newer stadiums were bland, soulless, and generic from day one...and they're trying to make them have even less unique character.
English
black seat installation complete and ready for game action
English
@GasBuddyGuy @T4ylorJames The problem is most of the of the big ticket infrastructure items foe AH are only needed for a stadium, unlike a downtown area where they'd benefit Museum Campus, McCormick Place, overall downtown traffic and parking, etc.
English
@T4ylorJames I don't fully disagree, I could see the state participating in infrastructure improvements that also benefit the community, but what is more bothersome is the property tax cap. no one gets that and it benefits no one except the bears
English
bears only care about money. that's it. that they prioritize handouts over location/their fans says everything. i hope the bears move out, let indiana's taxpayers pay to have them. can't wait to see the Hammond Bears & the look on their face when they pay NIPSCO rates
Chicago Jay@Chicago_Jay1
This is JB Pritzker’s fault Complete incompetence if he lets the Bears leave I’m very curious exactly WHY Indiana can do this and Illinois won’t
English
@T4ylorJames @GasBuddyGuy They're somehow shocked that they might pay high taxes if they build in the heart of the NW suburbs? Come on. Capitalism is great...make those billions. But pay your fair share in taxes.
English
@GasBuddyGuy that’s a much more palatable tax bill, and I concede that you clearly know more than I do on the subject.
the argument still exists that, a.) it’s still 2x+ the highest stadium in the league, & b.) the state still won’t even prioritize the discussion with them.
English
@paschutz I would infinitely rather go to a big summer concert outside, in the shadows of downtown, than to a dome in AH or NWI. That vibe is the whole appeal of the show.
English
This is a sentiment shared by state lawmakers and Park District officials - who believe Soldier Field would have advantages over a new suburban Dome in attracting big name concerts. Namely - location location location.
Ross Read@RossRead
The Bears bring in less than 20% of the annual revenue Soldier Field sees. They weren’t going to let this venue just die. And your Beyoncé and Bruno Mars, and Metallica are still going to play Soldier Field regardless of where the Bears go.
English
@27dannych @MLBNetwork Don’t watch NHL. Who gives a bleep about hockey.🤣🤣
English
@chicagotribune That goaltending was pretty close to a miracle.
English
No miracle needed. The United States is on top of the hockey world for the first time in nearly a half-century.
