Players on Monday were not only agreeing with the public criticism of the Bears coaching staff after a wild loss but also adding to it.

The Chicago sports teams have their respective conundrums. The White Sox are hoping to resolve their issues soon with a new manager.

Will Venable comes to the White Sox from the Texas Rangers.

A lopsided loss to Arizona showed that all is not right with this team. Maybe it's the coaches. Maybe it's the players. Probably it's both.

As promised, the Bulls are playing faster and shooting more 3s. But without a major defensive turnaround, they won’t be an improved team.

Matt Eberflus likely will make it to season's end, but after the Bears' freefall continued with a lopsided loss to Pats, changes are needed.

There have been no real highs to the Eberflus “era.” We’re at the stage where everything he says is just kindling for the fire. Or firing.

No one needed a win more than Eberflus. But after a stunning blocked kick at the end, he is 0-5 against Packers and 2-11 in the NFC North.

As usual, the Bears have a rich history and a poor present. Guess which one they're marketing right now.
