THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL

BEARSSSSSS BULLSSSSSSSS

Ken’s note: Other than here on our pages at WCG, there was NO Bears news today. There was lots of Bulls news. So… I give you that instead. We will return to our regularly scheduled existence tomorrow. Feel free to talk Bulls, Cubs, Sox or any non-political topic.

Bulls stick to the script and draft Caleb Wilson with the No. 4 pick

The Bulls were linked to Wilson for the last month, as picks one through three fell exactly as scripted.

2026 NBA offseason trade grades: Julius Randle, Nic Claxton

Bulls get Claxton for (literally) nothing.

Bulls already get busy before the draft, acquiring big man Nic Claxton

Price was right!

Chicago Bulls double down on ‘SLAP’ mentality by selecting Dailyn Swain

As long as it isn’t the ‘HITS’ mentality.

Bulls finally benefit as disastrous Lauri Markkanen trade is finalized

The Chicago Bulls traded Lauri Markkanen in a three-team sign-and-trade back in 2021, and it took five years to get the draft pick from the deal. The Bulls acquired a lottery-protected first-round pick from the Portland Trail Blazers that has been restricted since 2022. With Portland finally breaking their playoff drought, Chicago got the 15th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and selected Dailyn Swain.

POLISH SAUSAGE FOR ACTUAL FOOTBALL STUFF

Infante’s NFL Offseason Losers 2026: 6 Teams That Got Worse This Spring

Are the Bears on Jacob’s list?

Kessler: In applying for supplemental draft, Brendan Sorsby gave NFL everything it requested

Except, of course, a potential player they actually want in the NFL.

49ers are “exploring” relocation of their practice facility to somewhere not in an industrial hellhole

They’ve got the power to do it.

NFLPA has not decided whether (or how) to challenge the NFL’s position on Brendan Sorsby

Why should they. He’s eligible not a member yet, and the CBA wording that it’s the league (and nobody else) who choses whether to have a supplemental draft or not is crystal clear.

Falcons, Kyle Pitts agree to three-year contract

Kyle Pitts got paid. A lot. Teams with tight ends coming due for their second contract (Packers, Raiders, Lions) must have cringed at those numbers for a player not as good as Kraft, Bowers and LaPorta.

Marvin Mims: Extension would be sweet, but you can’t keep everybody

Mims will get paid as well.

KOW THINE ENEMY

Christian Watson: Packers focused on finishing after 2025 collapse

You mean collapse after collapse, right? Should be plural on that quote.
