Anthony Rizzo Goes Back Home After 17 Killed At His High School

Anthony Rizzo left spring training to go back home, where 17 people were killed Wednesday at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. The Chicago Cubs first baseman is a 2007 graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and recently donated $150,000 to his alma mater.

Cubs manager Joe Maddon said he told Rizzo he could take as much time as he needed and offered his support.

“I told him to get back to us if there was anything we can do to help,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said Thursday. “I definitely want him to go back there and be involved. I told him, ‘Take as much time as you want.'”

Sadly, Rizzo isn’t the only player on the team to have had a mass shooting directly impact someone they know. On Oct. 1, 2017, Kris Bryant’s sister in law was in Las Vegas, where the deadliest mass shooting in the United States occurred.

“I know Anthony will have a big influence in Florida, but it’s so sad that it happened. I can’t imagine what some of those people are going through. It speaks to who Anthony really is. Anthony is a role model for everyone on this team and in Chicago and this country. I know he’ll do anything he can do to help.”

(Kris Bryant)

Rizzo and his family knew some of the victims, including football coach Aaron Feis, who was killed while shielding students from the shooter. Rizzo played football as a freshman, when Feis was an assistant coach.

After the shooting, Rizzo tweeted out support for his community and also called for a change.

Rizzo’s former football coach wasn’t the only person killed that he had a connection to.

Via ESPN.

Jaime Guttenberg, who was killed in Wednesday’s shooting according to a Facebook post by her father, was a relative of Rizzo’s longtime agent.

There have been 18 school shootings so far this year in the United States according to Everytown for Gun Safety.

Albert Almora Jr., who is also from Florida, discussed the tragedy as well.

The Cubs won’t have spring training games until Feb. 23. At this time there’s no word when Rizzo will return to Mesa.

Bears May Get An Assist at Wide Receiver From Arch Rivals

The Chicago Bears aren’t trying to hide their intentions at this point. Everybody knows they’re going to hunt wide receiving help this off-season. That’s the byproduct of having the worst passing offense in the league. This means every avenue is on the table from free agency to the draft. That includes potential salary cap cuts by other teams. Even main rivals if possible.

One team that could be set to make a big decision at wide receiver are the Green Bay Packers. They just handed DeVante Adams a lucrative new extension. This places the focus on veterans Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. Both carry cap hits in excess of $9 million this year and both are in the final years of their respective contracts. With only $16 million in cap space projected, it’s possible the Packers may decide to move on from one of them.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network believes a decision is looming and that it’s Cobb who might end up getting the short end of the stick.

Randall Cobb could fit the new Chicago Bears offense well

Back in 2014, Cobb was emerging as one of the best receivers in the league. He went to the Pro Bowl that year with 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns. Since then though his production has slackened. He hasn’t cracked 830 yards since then. The emergence of Adams has made his role in the offense even murkier. Part of this may be nagging health issues. He’s missed four games over the past two years with various problems.

That said he is just 27-years old and when featured in a game plan has proven he can still deliver some excellent performances.

Though not known for his speed, Cobb is a precision route runner with quickness and agility. If featured in an offense that can find him some space, he’ll get to the open spot for his quarterback. It’s hard to say he can ever regain the form he had four years ago but there is no doubt he’d be an upgrade over most of what the Bears have their roster.

At the same time, his deep knowledge of the Green Bay system can bring added benefits. Cobb is known for being a competitive, high intangibles guy. No doubt he’ll carry a big chip on his shoulder if the Packers end up releasing him. It wouldn’t be hard to receive a prominent role in the Bears offense. It could be a mutually beneficial relationship.

Ryan Pace Made a Notable Sacrifice to Get Back Vic Fangio

It’s hard to say what the Chicago Bears did to ensure the return of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. The pitch must’ve been strong. After all, it’s not like Fangio didn’t have options. He’s one of the top defensive coordinators in the league and would’ve had a job within 24 hours of departing Chicago. So GM Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy had to have said the right things to lure him back to a team that hasn’t posted a winning season for five years.

Sure money was no doubt part of the pitch. While contract details aren’t known, Fangio is now undoubtedly one of the highest paid defensive coordinators in the NFL. There’s also the widespread belief that Nagy made a strong impression on him. The idea of combining a Nagy offense, which finished 5th overall in Kansas City this past year, with a Fangio defense? Good things should follow.

Even then it’s still hard to believe Fangio stayed. There had to be another angle to this. As it turns out that may be true.

Ryan Pace agreed to relinquish some roster control to Nagy and Fangio

If nothing else, Pace has proven one thing. He’s a pragmatist. He sees a problem with his team and takes direct steps to fix it. Are players getting injured a lot? He renovates the entire training program and facilities with state-of-the-art equipment and techniques. Has the team a long history of quarterback problems? Trade up in the first round to get the best one you can find. Is that QB struggling from poor offensive scheming? Hire a young head coach who embraces new ideas.

It seems that mode of operation served him well again. According to a source, Pace approached the Fangio dilemma with similar practicality and made a bold decision as a result.

“As far as players on offense and who the Bears will sign or won’t sign, it will be completely up to Nagy and the same goes for Vic on defense. This was pitched to Nagy in their meeting and was a ‘key’ reason Fangio is back.”

This is a fascinating twist on things

For those who don’t remember, right after the regular season ended for the Bears, Pace had his end-of-year press conference. John Fox had just been fired. He spoke to the media on the plan to get things fixed. Amidst that, he was quite adamant about one thing. Control of the 53-man roster would stay with him.

So this means the likely situation is as follows. Pace will still make the signings and the draft picks. The key difference is Nagy and Fangio will hold far more sway in which players are to be the most heavily pursued on both ends. It’s less a ceding of power and more a compromise. It makes sense to a degree. Fangio and Nagy are both highly-respected experts in their fields. They should have considerable say in the talent they want to make their schemes flourish.

Credit to Pace for recognizing that.

Joe Maddon Unleashes A New Motivational Tactic For 2018

By
Gus
-

I wrote an article yesterday that focused on Cubs manager Joe Maddon’s new “theme” for the 2018 season. Maddon has become somewhat of an icon for crafting new mottos or slogans that he introduces to his players during Spring Training which eventually turn into a battle cry for the team’s upcoming season.

Maddon has dug deep into his bag of tricks to try and reach this year’s Chicago Cubs. Yes, we’ll HEAR a ton of new slogans (the process is fearless, try not to suck, etc) but now we’ll actually get to SEE his motivational strategies everyday in Mesa.

How is that possible you ask?

Simple.

Maddon is using art as his 2018 motivational tool.

Maddon had been reading a book on the famous artist, Leonardo da Vinci, during the offseason when he took a trip to a store called Milano’s Exchange in his winter home of Tampa, FL. When Maddon walked into the store, he saw a version of the famous Mona Lisa painting by an artist named Jason Skeldon and it clicked in his brain that he had just discovered his new theme for 2018.

Maddon contacted Skeldon and gave him some ideas of what he wanted to see painted. Skeldon did six pieces of art for Maddon but only two were on display yesterday at Cubs camp.

I’m the last guy you want critiquing art so I’ll just say this — these things are pretty bad ass. One painting features Salvador Dali wearing catchers gear and the other features the most famous giant slayer in history, David, standing on the pitchers mound wearing a cup. Maddon was focused on presenting the game of baseball as an art form to his players.

“If you really watch video of a well-played game or a great play, whether it’s baseball, basketball, football, you see artistry in the movement of athletes,” he said. “So I want them to think of themselves as artists also.”

The other four pieces of art will be revealed throughout the rest of training camp and Maddon also mentioned there were two pink flamingos outside the team’s practice facility named “Ron and Ernie” which also had meaning which he would explain later.

Call it what you want but you cannot deny the fact that Joe Maddon is one of the best managers in the game at getting his players to think outside the box and see things from a different perspective. Now will it work?

That remains to be seen.

An Old Friend May Have Warned Bears Off from Josh McDaniels

Even though it’s been in the rearview mirror for almost a month, it’s still hard not to feel like the Chicago Bears dodged a bullet. Matt Nagy may have been the favorite for the head coaching job, but rest assured that New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was deep in that mix. The same man who ran the Denver Broncos into the ground and shirked the Indianapolis Colts at the last minute could’ve done as bad or worse to the Bears.

On the surface, his allure was hard to ignore. Love him or hate him, McDaniels is one of the top offensive minds in the NFL. His work helped turn Tom Brady from a great quarterback into an all-timer. He’s 41-years old with a wealth of experience under his belt. Just imagine what he might be able to do with a talent like Mitch Trubisky.

At one point the Bears seemed willing to find out, but they quickly cooled on the idea. It’s been reported here and elsewhere the Bears started to sour on McDaniels. Most of that centering around the belief he might get cold feet and stay in New England. It turns out they were right. However, they also got an assist from several outside sources, warning them it was a catastrophe waiting to happen.

Jay Cutler joined chorus begging Bears to avoid Josh McDaniels

A couple weeks ago I reported that a number of representatives from other teams including the Rams, 49ers, and Broncos spoke up to the Bears on McDaniels. As it turns out it wasn’t just the execs doing that. According to a source, several former players who worked under him with those teams were quick to offer their opinions as well.

“Several former Rams, Broncos and Patriots players contacted the Bears ‘in a hurry’, urging them not to hire him and that they ‘were making a huge mistake’ when word got out he might be their guy.”

That alone paints a pretty clear picture of how good McDaniels has been at burning bridges with a lot of people. That’s not the best part though. Apparently, the Bears also might’ve gotten a courtesy call from a familiar face on the subject, one with deep personal experience about the darker side of McDaniels.

“Heard talk that Cutler was one of the guys urging Pace not to hire McDaniels.”

If true, Cutler finally got his revenge

Cutler isn’t known for speaking up on most things but there is little reason to question whether or not he had an opinion on McDaniels. In fact, it was their first meeting nine years ago in Denver that ended up getting Jay traded to Chicago. A meeting where the young rookie coach, according to former GM Ted Sundquist, came off as arrogant and unimpressed with Cutler’s game.

“After the perplexing recitation of accomplishments, McDaniels suddenly shifted gears.

He began to bash and berate Cutler and his game to the tune of a verbal flogging neither had ever witnessed. The expletive-laden diatribe went on for a few minutes, after which Cook stood up and told Cutler they were leaving. As they walked down the long hallway past Bowlen’s office, Cutler turned to Bus and said, “Get me out of here. I don’t care how you do it.”

Cutler got his wish. McDaniels got Kyle Orton, a black eye in the media and fired after less than two seasons. It seems Jay hasn’t forgotten those remarks either. He played one of the best games of his career this past season in an upset win over the Patriots, throwing for 263 yards and three touchdowns. This supposed tip-off to his old team may have been the icing on the cake.

Revenge is indeed sweet. Either way, it clarifies the picture even further. The Bears were told not to hire McDaniels at all costs. They listened. We should all feel grateful for that. Cutler may not have been what we all hoped. At the end of the day though he came through in the clutch.

Jeff Glass Never Stood A Chance With These Awful Blackhawks

By
Brian Foran

Earlier today the Chicago Blackhawks placed goaltender Jeff Glass on waivers, meaning the netminder is likely to spend the twilight weeks of what should have been a fairytale season in Rockford – the place where his unlikely carousel of a season met its beginning.

While it’d take the most buoyant of optimists to find positivity in waivers, Glass’ demotion can viewed as an act of mercy by even the most pessimistic of hockey fans.

And an act of clemency it was. Because between the ungodly coalition of fan upheaval, terrible luck and downright god-awful play in front of him to go along with an utter lack of experience and, not to mention, limited ability to begin with, Jeff Glass never stood a chance with this iteration of the Chicago Blackhawks.

Glass is a minor league goaltender whose only place in the NHL this season should have been as a temporary backup but was, instead, carelessly tossed head-first into an unrelenting riptide of floodwaters with absolutely no means of aid or escape. In Glass defense, any goaltender, past or present, would have struggled to tread such unforgiving waters.

No doubt it made for a good story when the globetrotting journeyman, whose career has spanned literally everywhere in the world not named the NHL, was initially re-called. A career minor leaguer at the archaic age of 32 finally getting his shot at NHL glory is a Hollywood-worthy narrative that’d make even the coldest of hearts bask in warmth. But, like the rambling conclusion of a cocaine-fueled Stephen King novel, this storybook fairytale endured chapters longer than it should have. And at the helm of the typewriter was Blackhawks management for even allowing it to spiral out of control in the first place, because at the end of the day, Jeff Glass should never have possessed the opportunity of seeing steady work with the Blackhawks.

The Blackhawks entered the 2017-2018 season drunk on ignorance in regard to its goaltending situation. Sure, Anton Forsberg was a fine off-season addition and, with his combination of size, youth and undeniable talent, very well, one day, could find himself solidified in the crease as the Blackhawks starting netminder. But obvious rawness and an utter lack of experience made him ripe for at least a season or two of tuning in Rockford before seeing time with the big club. Rather, the goaltender situation went unaddressed, with waves of prospective back up veterans signing elsewhere, and Forsberg was forced onto the Blackhawks opening night roster as primary back up to injury-time bomb Corey Crawford.

Well, needless to say, that ticking bomb, as expected, went boom and, still, management felt it was in the organization’s best interest to turn a blind eye to what would be the most glaring obstacle hindering its playoff chances. Even as weeks turned to months, management stood pat, tail between its legs, grasping firmly to the hope that its knight-in-shining-armor, Corey Crawford, would triumphantly gallop in on horseback and save the day — all while its helpless and unseasoned pair of goaltenders spent night-in and night-out being thrown to the wolves.

Look, it’d be hypocritical of me to succumb to ignorance myself by placing all the blame for the Blackhawks shortcomings this season on the shoulders of its goaltending because, quite frankly, 2017-2018 has been a collective disaster. When the tires do fall off, each seems to fall off concurrently — to the point where the whole team is forced to coast around the ice like the goddamn Flinstones. To solely condemn the goaltending would be like placing all the blame for World War I on the back of Gavrilo Princip. Sure, he played a pretty significant role unclogging what would become the largest shitstorm the world had ever seen up to that point, but in hindsight, he’s more of a footnote to what became a much more significant problem; much like this season’s goaltending issues will, in retrospect, be interpreted as a mere bullet point on a laundry list of colossal mishaps that attributed to what hopefully, 5 seasons from now, will be regarded as “the Rasmus Dahlin fix.”

Even more alarming is the trajectory of fan criticism. An alarming amount of fans seem to be content in their ignorance of overlooking the fact that Glass never should have been here in the first place and are instead jumping straight to the conclusion that every little thing that has gone awry this season is the fault of a 32-year old journeyman who, just as recently as December, possessed the same amount of NHL experience as the person currently typing this. Notice I said alarming and not surprising, because at this point the stupidity of the most vocal subgenre of Blackhawks fans is stuff of legend. To give you a brief rundown of these dummies, they’re people that don’t understand the fine-print details of what the hell they’re watching so the goalie, by default, becomes the butt of their criticisms. Why? Because goalies are the easiest-to-comprehend targets. It’s never lazy play or porous defense surrendering 48 shots and 20 quality scoring chances that is the root of the problem; it’s never the fault of an offense that’s mustered just 12 goals over its past 7 games. It’s always the fault of the goaltender.

Even though the particular goaltender in question has posted about as good of numbers a person who has never played a second in an NHL game prior to December 30 possibly could. And still, even after all his struggles which landed him in the crosshairs of angry fans and on waivers, Glass still possesses a better save percentage than Scott Darling.

Please read that last sentence before you’re tempted to venture into the comments section.

Jeff Glass has evolved from great story to punchline all in the matter of weeks in the eyes of many irate fans and it gives me secondhand embarrassment to even bring to light the exploits of this social keyboard lynchmob. Because of these idiots and utter neglect from the organization, what should have been a storybook season for Glass and fans alike is now shrouded in darkness due to the shortcomings of those who failed to protect him.

Chicago Bears Free Agent Moves That Could Weaken the NFC North

By

chicago bears free agent

The Chicago Bears free agent plan for 2018 will likely be a lot different from 2017. If for no other reason than the 2017 version was a total disaster. GM Ryan Pace has to change up how he operates. No doubt he has certain targets in mind with the idea of filling team needs. He doesn’t have time to think about what the rest of the NFC North division might be doing. Here’s the thing. He should.

The Bears may reside in the toughest division in pro football. The Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, and Detroit Lions have each made the playoffs at least once since 2016. Chicago has to somehow slam, batter and bully their way through that murderer’s row just to reach the postseason. Nevermind ideas for a Super Bowl.

The Bears need to consider taking a more active approach in trying to undermine those three teams however possible. Even the smallest pinpricks can be effective down the line. With that in mind here’s a free agent from each team that could benefit the Bears roster while simultaneously weakening each of their rivals.

Tavon Wilson (SS, Detroit Lions)

He continues to be one of the more underrated defenders for the Lions the past couple seasons. Wilson isn’t flashy but he’s a steady, reliable presence on the back end who can do a little bit of everything. In just 10 games last season he had over 50 tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble, and an interception. A lot of people might be upset by this idea with how well Adrian Amos played but Wilson is a versatile player. Vic Fangio could find plenty of ways to use him without undermining Amos.

Davon House (CB, Green Bay Packers)

The Packers pass defense took a considerable step back in 2017 and a big reason for that was the continued erratic play of their secondary. That’s one reason they brought back veteran Davon House. He may not have been a star for them but he was definitely one of their most consistent cover men. In 12 games he produced an interception, a sack and six passes defended. With the Bears in danger of losing three of their top cornerbacks, this is certainly not just a move to weaken Green Bay.

Jerick McKinnon (RB, Minnesota Vikings)

Another running back might seem counterintuitive given the Bears already have Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen. Still, Jerick McKinnon is the sort of versatile back that thrived in the Matt Nagy offense over in Kansas City. He’s athletic, fast and a much better runner than he gets credit for. Imagine a three-headed monster of him, Howard and Cohen in the backfield. It would certainly ease the pressure on the Bears receiving corps. McKinnon was second on the team in 2017 in yards from scrimmage with 991, scoring five touchdowns. It’s hard to lose something like that for anybody.

Anthony Rizzo Wants Change After Shooter Kills At Least 17 At Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School

A former student has been identified as the shooter who killed at least 17 people according to the AP at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. That’s the same high school Chicago Cubs star Anthony Rizzo attended and after the tragedy he not only expressed his support for the community, but also said, “this is out of control and our country is in desperate need for change,” on Twitter.

Wednesday’s school shooting in Florida is the 18th to occur so far in 2018 in the United States, according to Everytown for Gun Safety.

Just last month, Rizzo donated $150,000 to help the high school fund new stadium lights.  The baseball field was renamed in his honor.

The suspect is in custody. Via the AP.

Sheriff Scott Israel of Broward County says the 19-year-old suspect is in custody and that investigators are beginning to “dissect” what happened in the attack Wednesday at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

He says the suspect, a former student, was previously expelled for disciplinary reasons.

Israel says the man had at least one AR-15 rifle as well as multiple magazines.

Will the change come that Rizzo said we desperately need? We can only hope so.

Yu Darvish’s Agent Compares Cubs To University Of Alabama

By
Aldo Soto
-

The Chicago Cubs are making a good habit out of signing exactly who they want. You may not agree with the front office on who their top targets are in free agency, but more often than not we’ve seen the Cubs identify their No. 1 guy and get him.

Yu Darvish is the latest example, as he signed a six-year deal worth $126 million with the Cubs. The process was unique to say the least, considering last summer the four-time all-star had the Cubs on his limited no-trade list. Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer didn’t even meet with Darvish until the middle of December, but the wait was worth it, as the Cubs now have one of the best starting rotations in baseball.

But how did Darvish go from having the Cubs on his no-trade list, to choosing them over other teams that also offered him a $100 million contract?

Recruiting.

How has Nick Saban made the University of Alabama the powerhouse of college football? Recruiting. Dance with your entire family? Done. Now, Epstein didn’t have to do that for Darvish, but his and the Cubs method worked and Darvish’s agent Joel Wolfe could only compare the style of recruiting to the most dominating college football program of our generation.

Here’s a short blurb from Patrick Mooney’s in-depth story on how the Cubs got the deal done with Darvish in The Athletic.

“The Cubs — they know how to recruit a player,” Wolfe said. “It’s like the University of Alabama. They go the extra mile.”

“It was very much like a high school football player trying to choose and he’s going to have the signing day,” Wolfe said. “Here’s what we have to offer you and your family as a place to live. This is what our organization is like. Here’s what we’re going to do with you. We think you’re a great pitcher, but here’s how we’re going to make you better. Here’s what we’ve done with other guys. This is exactly how we’re going to do it. Incredible detail.”

Mooney discusses the importance of the face-to-face meeting the Cubs had with Darvish and interestingly enough the Milwaukee Brewers didn’t bother to set up a meeting of their own with the free-agent pitcher.

The story in The Athletic also mentions how the Cubs sent Darvish a video, highlighting the city of Chicago, which caught the eye of the pitcher’s wife. Darvish brought up the fact that his wife loved the city of Chicago during his press conference.

However, the thing that won over Darvish the most was the honesty from the Cubs. He also brought that up on Tuesday.

More from Darvish’s agent in The Athletic.

“It wasn’t just telling him what he wanted to hear. It was legitimate. He showed up, he asked a lot of questions. They asked him a lot of direct, blunt questions. He’s a very honest guy. When he starts speaking in English with you, you’ll see. He really felt it.”

Darvish was the primary target all along and although no one wanted the process to drag on through the middle of February the Cubs are glad they got their guy.

Maybe it was simply meant to be for Darvish to end up with the Cubs.

Darvish showed the playful side of his personality by sending team president Theo Epstein a photo of him as a young boy in a Cubs shirt. As the negotiations dragged out and Epstein half-jokingly accused Darvish of only waiting on the Dodgers, Yu texted back the same picture.

Still, Saban probably offers more money to his players than Epstein does.

A Clear Message Greeted Cubs Pitchers And Catchers When They Reported To Camp Today

By

Today is the first day that pitchers and catchers will report to Spring Training for the 2018 Chicago Cubs. The season hasn’t even started yet and a ton of Cubs fans (myself included) cannot wait to see what the season will bring.

  • Can the team bounce back from getting bounced in the NLCS?
  • Who will be the next breakout star?
  • How big of an impact will Yu Darvish have?
  • Who’s teeth can I make fun of since John Lackey is not coming back?

The first day of Spring Training has always brought a new hope to fan bases across the nation. It is a chance for fans to get their first glimpse at pitchers and catchers before the rest of the team reports in a little under a week. It’s a time when fans can begin to piece together their favorite team’s pitching rotation and start to over analyze every nuance in the first day of camp.

I’m not the only one who thinks he has all the answers after watching pitchers throw for 10 minutes on day one of camp, am I?

The Cubs fan base was turned upside down a few days ago when the team made the biggest splash in free agency thus far when they signed former Los Angeles Dodger, Yu Darvish. The pitching rotation was already solid without Darvish but signing him to a six-year deal has turned the team’s rotation into the best in baseball.

Darvish and the rest of the Cubs pitchers and catchers reported to camp today in Mesa, Arizona. Upon arrival, the team was greeted with a clear message about how Cubs manager Joe Maddon envisions the 2018 season to go.

Maddon has been known to give each season it’s own “theme” as Spring Training kicks off and he told reporters today that he’ll reveal the 2018 theme piece by piece.  However, it’s a pretty clear indication of how the theme will go if on the first day, the first word you see is “dominate.”

Reading that theme made me start to think about the 2018 campaign for the Cubs and would they be able to return to their dominant 2016 selves? The 2016 World Series championship seems so long ago and although they advanced to their third straight NLCS last year, the loss to the Dodgers in the division championship seemed to be a big let down.

The silver lining about about getting over a disappointing 2017 season is the fact that starting today, we can now officially shift our attention to the 2018 Chicago Cubs.
