Toews Launches First Foundation And Announces First Partnership

By
Marc-Louis Paprzyca
-

Jonathan Toews is an all-time good guy on and especially off the ice. His charitable efforts go far and wide and it’s surprising that he has never had his own foundation, until now.

Last night Toews announced that he is finally launching his own, the Jonathan Toews Foundation. Little has been published about the foundation but he did announce the first partnership with Green Bronx Machine.

Green Bronx Machine is a non-profit organization with the goal to “produce outstanding academic outcomes through plant-based lessons in schools.” With the help of Toews they are bringing their curriculum and Tower Garden to Chicago Public Schools.

Toews says that “they are helping young kids shape their lives for the better by teaching them the benefits of eating healthy food that they get to grow themselves.”

This is the first partnership of his personal foundation but Toews worked with a similar organization, The Kitchen Community, in the past. He is a big advocate of educating young people about healthy, sustainable living and preservation of the environment.

Toews is a true leader around the globe with his efforts. He has donated as much as $1M to the Dakota Community Centre in his hometown of Winnipeg, fulfilled wishes for Make-A-Wish and donated his time to garden at schools in Chicago.

Captain Serious has even gotten silly in his charitable work by lending his likeness for toasters. Or Toews-sters, that were sold in Canada to benefit Jumpstart Foundation, which helps kids get active by providing money for sports equipment and athletic opportunities for underprivileged youth.

We shouldn’t be surprised if Toews wins a few more Mark Messier Leadership Awards before his career is over because he is the definition of it. He leads by positive example through on-ice performance, motivation of team members and a dedication to community activities and charitable causes.

Jonathan Toews is a winner.

2018 Feels Like the Time Ryan Pace Finally Goes Deep in Free Agency

By

bears jarvis landry trade

Every team would love to be like the Pittsburgh Steelers. A team that has constantly built and rebuilt itself through the NFL draft. They have no need for heavy investments in free agency. However, the Chicago Bears are not yet in such a position. They’re in the middle of a rebuild that enters its fourth off-season. To this point GM Ryan Pace has remained careful on the free agent market. Could that change?

According to ESPN analyst and Hall of Fame GM Bill Polian, the Bears have yet to sign a free agent ranked in his top five since 2015. The closest they came was Akiem Hicks in 2016. He was Polian’s #8 ranked player. That of course is a move that paid huge dividends for the Bears as Hicks is now their best defensive player.

Pace though has remained careful with the pocket book to this point, never handing out contracts that are heavy in guaranteed money. Most will say the Mike Glennon deal but compared to other quarterback contracts that was the league average. Only one free agent has ever gotten a top five deal from Pace based on his position. That was Josh Sitton who was a Pro Bowler.

Is there reason to think that he is ready to get more aggressive this year?

Ryan Pace finally has his foundation in place

One of the reasons that Pace was reluctant to go hard at free agency in the past? There was little point. Chicago had a laundry list of needs. Adding two or three big names on massive contracts wouldn’t have solved the half dozen others holes in the roster. He had to spread the wealth out, hoping to score a few hits while the draft became his source for finding his new talent core.

To that end he’s been modestly successful. Jordan Howard is a star. Mitch Trubisky has the look and feel of a good quarterback. Tarik Cohen and Adam Shaheen have proven they can be playmakers. Leonard Floyd, Eddie Goldman and Eddie Jackson are three promising pillars on defense. Add in a couple of big free agent scores like Hicks and Danny Trevathan? This team suddenly has something to build on. Perhaps one big push can get them over the hump.

Roster needs are more isolated and 2018 class equipped to meet them

One of the things that lends most to the idea isn’t that Chicago has money to spend. They’ve had that for years. It’s that their list of needs is decidedly less vast than they were before. Looking across the roster there are maybe two areas that seem like glaring concerns. The rest are minor depending on how the Bears handle their re-signings. Those two areas are wide receiver and edge rusher.

Receiver is obvious. When Kendall Wright is your best option available, you have problems. Trubisky needs better targets if he’s going to take the next step. As for edge rusher there is a growing concern with age and injury issues. None of their three primary guys were able to finish the season. Leonard Floyd, Pernell McPhee and Willie Young all ended up on injured reserve. They need more talent and depth.

Thankfully the 2018 free agent class seems ready to assist on both counts.

Wide Receivers:

  • Jarvis Landry
  • Allen Robinson
  • Sammy Watkins
  • Terrelle Pryor
  • Josh Gordon
  • Marqis Lee
  • Paul Richardson
  • John Brown
  • Tyrell Williams
  • Taylor Gabriel

Edge Rushers:

  • Demarcus Lawrence
  • Ezekiel Ansah
  • Aldon Smith
  • Trent Murphy
  • Chris McCain
  • Shaquil Barrett
  • Jeremiah Attaochu
  • Matt Longacre

Odds are a number of these names won’t reach the market due to extensions or the franchise tag. Even so there are quite a few who will and can be a huge help towards the Bears’ fortunes in 2018. Problem is other teams, some of them with more money to spend, will want them too. It comes down to how far Pace is willing to go.

Here’s An Inside Look at Kris Bryant’s Inaugural Baseball Camp

By
Gus

Kris Bryant must not believe in off-seasons.

Bryant was one of a handful of Cubs that appeared at the 33rd annual Cubs Convention this weekend in downtown Chicago where he made a number of appearances — none better than when he ordered a pizza at the always comical kids press conference.

Instead of taking a few days off after the Convention, Bryant hopped on a plane from frigid Chicago and flew back home to sunny Las Vegas to host the Inaugural Adidas Kris Bryant Elite Camp.

Bryant is one of Adidas’ big time money makers so the shoe company decided to pay Bryant back on a much smaller scale. Adidas sent out an invite to 150 of the top high school baseball players in the county (and a handful of local Las Vegas kids) to invite them to Bryant’s alma mater, Bonanza high school, for a one-day camp.

Campers arrived around 8:00 AM where they were immediately broken up into position groups. Local high school coaches in the Las Vegas area served as the instructional staff as the coaches put the players through positional drills, base running drills, and some pretty intense speed work. Around 10:15 AM, all camp work came to a screeching halt and all eyes turned to the field entrance when Bryant arrived.

He walked around to each positional group and mingled with the star struck high schoolers. He even took a group down to the hitting cage down the left field line and put on a hitting demo and offered a few tips to the teenagers.

Can you imagine being 17-years-old and getting hitting advice from a goddamned NL MVP?

Bryant was being followed closely by a camera crew most of the day that looked like they were able to film a full length Hollywood movie with the amount of video equipment they had. It was later revealed that Adidas gave Bryant his first glimpse at the shoe he will be wearing for the 2018 season that Adidas created for him so one can assume they wanted to get that reaction on film.

The day ended with the high school players getting a chance to ask Bryant a few questions about his MLB experience thus far. The highlight was when a camper asked Bryant what it was like to hit off elite MLB pitching, specifically Clayton Kershaw, to which Bryant simply replied,

“Hard.”

No shit, Kris.

Is it baseball season yet?

 

Toews Cryptically Tells Everyone To Back Off On Crawford’s Injury

By
Marc-Louis Paprzyca
-

Since December 27th Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford has been on injured reserve with an undisclosed upper-body injury. There have been no substantial updates from the organization until yesterday when Captain Jonathan Toews made some cryptic comments regarding Crawford.

“We’re always concerned about our teammates first and then our team second. … He’ll do what he can to get himself better, so he can get back to playing and get back and help our team when he knows how to.”

At first glance this seems like a standard response to an injury question but look further. Toews is a very calculated player and you don’t hear or see him react often. This was a well-thought out response to a question he knew he would eventually get.

Not once in that statement did Toews mention an injury, working out or being anywhere near the team or the ice. He is concerned about a teammate first which means he is concerned about Crawford’s well-being and not his ability to play hockey.

When you hear about injuries you always hear players talk about the trainers and working out but Toews makes no mention of them. Instead he said, “He’ll do what he can to get himself better” which sounds like a personal issue.

The message comes through hard in Toews’ response when he said, “when he knows how to.” There are deeper underlying tones in this when regarding a 33 year old man who has played hockey his entire life. Toews knows Crawford can play hockey but he is hinting at the idea that he needs to fix himself before he can help the Blackhawks again.

Toews’ comments seem very leading but let’s all hope this is just an injury and not any number of things not hockey related. Though it wouldn’t come as a surprise considering Corey Crawford has dealt with a lot since before he even came the Blackhawks starting goaltender.

Very few people thought he could be the guy and fans still doubt his abilities, despite two Stanley Cups and numbers that rank up there with the “elite.” When he has an off night, fans want to trade him or give the backup a shot. When he’s great, fans say it’s because of someone else and they still want to trade him or give the backup a shot.

Speaking of trades, good friend of Sports Mockery and hockey expert John Jaeckel reported today that Crawford’s name has been on the trade block for almost 3 years. There is a lot to deal with when you’re in danger of being moved or losing your job.

Despite the rumors and being benched in the conference quarterfinals in 2015, he went on to win a Stanley Cup. He was also in high consideration to win the Conn Smythe and although he didn’t win it, he did get the belt from the team.

Then there are the issues of his off-ice activities which should be of no business to anyone unrelated to him or the team. It all started in December 2014 after falling down the stairs at a Rise Against concert and missing 8 games. You know, taking part in activities that any average person might partake in on days off. Things happen and maybe he has deeper issues but those are his to deal with, not the public.

An NHL season, or any professional sports season, can take a toll on players both mentally and physically. Getting dinged up or injured is part of the games they play, but they also have to deal with life. Just like the rest of us.

I’m sure your family doesn’t go spouting off and telling everyone all of your issues. Neither would any of the boys because teams are like families.

Toews is protecting his teammate and whatever reason Crawford is on the IR. This response was his notice to back off and say Crawford will be back when he’s back.

Mark Helfrich Hiring Will Fix Crucial Problem Bears Had Under Loggains

By
Erik Lambert

chicago bears offense

Is it fair to put all the blame for the Chicago Bears offensive woes on Dowell Loggains? That’s a debate that continues even to this day. Some feel the former coordinator was overmatched by his responsibilities. That he lacked the necessary feel for play calling or game planning. Others insist he was held back by the archaic designs of head coach John Fox.

Either way it was apparent Loggains lacked one particular trait that drove fans crazy. He couldn’t mix things up. The ongoing joke throughout the 2017 season was “Run, Run, Pass.” That’s because this was how so many series went for Chicago. They’d run the ball twice, try to pass and then punt. The lack of creativity did not reflect well on Loggains.

It also put rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky in a tough spot. Asking him to constantly throw from third and long situations with his lack of experience led to a lot of sacks and other mistakes. The Bears didn’t do enough to give him easy throws and reads to get him in rhythm. That no doubt was one of the reasons they hired Matt Nagy as head coach.

It’s also a huge reason Nagy hired Mark Helfrich to replace Loggains.

Mark Helfrich a master of misdirection at Oregon

The biggest claim to fame that Helfrich has at this point in his career was his direct hand in developing the dynamic offensive attack that made Oregon a national power from 2009 to 2015. Jeff Hughes of Da Bears Blog uncovered an interesting point from an old article that revealed what made it so effective back then.

It confused defenses.

“Oregon’s connection with zone-read option runs is well known. Quarterback Marcus Mariota (left) reads the defense, then decides whether to keep the ball or hand it off to a running back (or receiver).

The Ducks passing game is equally confusing for defenses. Mariota threw the ball 27 times during the first half of the Rose Bowl. All but five of those passes involved some sort of misdirection: a pump fake to a receiver, a designed quarterback rollout, a fake handoff to a teammate, or some combination of the three.

According to profootballfocus.com, Mariota used play action on 51 percent of his 372 passes during the regular season.”

The potential in Chicago may actually exceed Oregon

The 2014 Oregon offense was Helfrich’s masterpiece. It led the national both in total yards and total points. They went into the Rose Bowl against the defending champion Florida State Seminoles and proceeded to take them to the woodshed. FSU had absolutely no answers for the Ducks offense which basically did whatever it pleased.

The scariest part about this is Helfrich only had a couple years to do that with Mariota before he headed for the NFL. If he can produced the same environment in Chicago, he and Mitch Trubisky could terrorize the league for the next decade. Trubisky certainly isn’t a stranger to a spread-style system and he showed plenty of promise whenever allowed to do run-pass option plays.

Nagy certainly knew what he was doing when he made Helfrich the hire.

Grading Matt Nagy’s First Week As Bears Head Coach

By

matt nagy

Exactly one week ago, the Chicago Bears hired former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy as the 16th head coach in franchise history.

 

Nagy, who came to the Bears with both fanfare and skepticism, attacked the first order of business vigorously in his first week: Figuring out his coaching staff. And while all of the positions have not yet been filled, the staff is starting to take shape well enough to get extremely excited about it. Like, extremely extremely excited about it.

Here are the highlights:

– OL coach Harry Hiestand from Notre Dame was Nagy’s first hire — and what a hire it was! Hiestand is one of the best OL coaches in football, counting both the college game and the NFL. Hiestand coached the Bears from 2005-2009 before departing for Notre Dame. and at ND, he has consistently churned out top prospects on the offensive line that have come to the NFL and continued their strong play. Zack Martin, Ronnie Stanley, Nick Martin, and soon to be Quenton Nelson and Mike McGlinchey are a few examples. Hiestand is a grand slam hire. I’m excited to see what he can do with Cody Whitehair, especially. What a first impression.

– Mark Helfrich was hired as the Bears’ OC. Helfrich, the former Oregon OC under Chip Kelly before becoming their head coach, is best known for dominating the college game with former Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota. The duo was devastating together, and Helfrich is credited for making Mariota one of the best quarterback prospects to come in to the NFL in years. There were reports that Chip Kelly was interested in bringing him to UCLA to become their OC, but Nagy won Helfrich over instead. What’s interesting is that Nagy will be calling plays for the Bears, so Helfrich is undoubtedly in Chicago to help mold QB Mitch Trubisky and introduce Oregon style concepts into Nagy’s offense. You can guarantee that Chicago’s offense will be extremely exciting to watch next season.

– Chris Tabor was hired as Chicago’s special teams coordinator, and he returns to the Bears after spending time with them as Dave Toub’s assistant from 2008-2010. Tabor comes from Cleveland, where he was their ST coordinator from 2011 until last year. The Browns have been devoid of talent at the bottom of their roster (which usually comprises most of the ST units) for a while, yet Tabor’s units were always still respectable. Also, Tabor’s ability to survive Cleveland’s coaching changes says a lot about what the league thinks of him. This is an underrated hire.

– And finally, last but not least, Nagy did what was thought impossible by keeping Vic Fangio as defensive coordinator. All season, it was reported that Fangio wanted to leave Chicago and return to the West Coast. GM Ryan Pace interviewed Fangio for the head coaching role (more out of respect than real interest), and that may have planted seeds of good faith with Fangio. Despite a relatively drawn out process which included Chicago denying the Green Bay Packers permission to interview Fangio, Nagy and Pace sealed the deal by getting Fangio to agree to a three year contract.

– Not to be forgotten, the Bears have filled out a few other assistant roles as well. Charles London is the RB coach. Mike Furrey is the WR coach. Kevin Gilbride is the TE coach. Fangio is expected to retain many of his assistants on the defensive side of the ball.

But make no mistake, Nagy’s coaching staff is strong and incredibly interesting. You don’t win games in the offseason, but you certainly win respect and credibility. Any doubts about Nagy’s ability to put a staff together were erased immediately with the Hiestand hire. And at the end of the first week, he’s shattered expectations altogether. The thoughts of what he can do for this offense as the offseason continues are a bit NSFW.

NFC North Coaching News Chicago Bears Fans Should Watch Carefully

By
Erik Lambert

chicago bears fans

Chicago Bears fans have rightfully been focused on their own coaching search over the past few weeks. However, things have since settled down with all of the key positions filled. Matt Nagy is firmly in charge as head coach. Former Oregon mastermind Mark Helfrich is his offensive coordinator. Last but not least? Vic Fangio agreed to return as maestro of the Bears defense. This is good news all around.

At the same time it would be unwise for people to remain ignorant of what’s been going on around the rest of the division. All three of the Bears’ biggest rivals have either made big coaching changes or are about to. Changes that could impact their fortunes, for better or worse in the years to come. If fans haven’t yet grasped what’s happened during the whirlwind of the past couple weeks, here’s a breakdown of the important bits.

Green Bay Packers hire Joe Philbin as offensive coordinator

Most people will be focused on the hiring of Mike Pettine as the Packers defensive coordinator. He’ll be replacing Dom Capers who’d been with the team since 2009. Nobody has really bothered to notice the return of Joe Philbin to the offensive coordinator job he left back in 2012. People forget that when Philbin held the position Aaron Rodgers had arguably the most productive stretch of his career.

In 2010 they won the Super Bowl and a year later in 2011 Rodgers won league MVP, throwing a career-high 45 touchdowns to just six interceptions. A reunion of these two may just lead back to the dominance Green Bay had back then.

Detroit Lions zeroing in on Matt Patricia as head coach

Jim Caldwell was fired for two reasons. He failed to reach the playoffs this season and GM Bob Quinn was waiting on the opportunity to hire his own coach. Now he has that chance and it’s apparent he has a target in mind. New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia has been the rumored favorite for the job for the past month and that hasn’t change. Word persists it will be his whenever the playoff run ends for New England.

No doubt the idea is a simple one. Detroit knows they have a great offense in place around Matthew Stafford. What they want is a head coach who will come in and not mess with that but can fix their constantly underachieving defense. Patricia has never fielded a defense lower than 10th in points allowed. The hire makes plenty of sense.

Minnesota Vikings OC Pat Shurmur a finalist for Cardinals and Giants jobs

The other two teams are about gaining new coaches. The Vikings meanwhile are holding their breath on losing one. Their team really became a Super Bowl contender when they promoted Pat Shurmur to offensive coordinator. His ability to elevate Case Keenum at quarterback was the driving force behind punching their ticket to the NFC championship. Now it appears other teams have taken notice.

Shurmur is not only the finalist for one job but two. It’s rumored he’s a heavy favorite to land the Arizona Cardinals gig in the wake of Bruce Arians departing, no doubt because there’s a feeling he could bring one of the Vikings three QBs with him. Meanwhile his name has suddenly popped up as a contender for the competitive New York Giants opening. Either way Minnesota is certain to feel the sting of his loss.

Salty Saints Fan Pays the Price for Testing Akiem Hicks

bears 2018 playoff

If there’s one lesson to be learned in this story, it’s this. Don’t try Akiem Hicks on Twitter if you’re not prepared to bring it. One poor New Orleans Saints fan found out the hard way. Things started with the incredible sequence of events that happened in the divisional playoff between the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings.

It’s important to remember that Hicks had a personal stake in that game. Not only is he a Bears player taught to hate Minnesota, he was also drafted by New Orleans. The Saints had just taken a 24-23 lead on a field goal with 25 seconds left. Minnesota drove down the field and hovered outside field goal range. With maybe enough time for two or three more plays at most, quarterback Case Keenum took a shot downfield to Stefon Diggs.

The star receiver caught the ball and incredibly wasn’t touched as he streaked down the sideline for a stunning game-clinching touchdown. It was an absolute heartbreaker for the Saints who’d fought back the entire game from a 17-0 deficit. Where things got hairy for Hicks was when he called his former team out for heading to the locker room before the required extra point had been taken.

Needless to say Who Dat Nation were not in the mood for his remark and came charging at him for it. Sadly one poor sod bore his wrath the most.

Saints fan gets it bad from Akiem Hicks

There may not be enough aloe on the planet to relieve that burn. If nothing else this proves that Hicks is a Pro Bowler both on the field and on social media, even if the league refuses to acknowledge that fact. Hopefully other angry fans will learn from this poor guy’s costly mistake. Then again this is Twitter, so probably not.

Matt Nagy’s Preparation For Head Coaching Shot Reached Insane Levels

By
Erik Lambert

New Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy didn’t get the job by accident. He wasn’t the fallback option or hired just because he was young and knew a lot about offense. Colleagues, friends, family and even the man himself would say that he put in countless hours of work to get where he is. It’s something he takes great pride in.

He put in 18-hour days almost every week during the season trying to get his offense ready in Kansas City. The fruits of that labor bore out with the Chiefs having their highest ranked unit since 2005. Alex Smith went from a draft bust in 2012 to a three-time Pro Bowler in five seasons with him. That is a product of his ability to lead but also to focus on the details.

What Bears fans may not now is how maniacally OCD Nagy could get when it came to such things. Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times found that out when the coach revealed what he did in order to prepare himself for an eventual head coaching shot.

Matt Nagy kept journal on every Andy Reid speech for two years

Even after decades of growing knowledge of the sport, fans still only have a modest idea of just how much time, effort and work it takes to be a head coach in the NFL. Forget actually being one. Just the amount it takes to get the job sounds exhausting. Nagy offered a snippet of what he put himself through with a story of his preparation.

Always an avid note-taker, Nagy started keeping a journal regularly two years ago, hoping it could someday serve a second purpose.

“The idea, the mindset,” he said, “of trying to be a head coach.”

He wrote down the speeches Chiefs coach Andy Reid gave and the circumstances that led to them.

“It could be during a losing streak — a way of reaching the team and connecting with them,” Nagy said. “Sometimes it’s tough love; it could be calling people out, connecting with them. [The detail is] good if you write it down. The other part is, it’s about life. I’ll jot it down so I have it.”

Factoring in all the off-season stuff from football school through training camp, preseason and the regular season this can amount to as many as 50 speeches per year. Maybe more. Each of those speeches are likely to run a couple of minutes. So for Nagy to obsessively write every single one of them down? That takes a level of dedication only competitors and lunatics will understand.

It’s also a welcome sign of what’s to come. One big criticism of John Fox was he didn’t pay attention to the small things. He was a motivator who understood how to build a culture, but he’s teams never operated with any sort of efficiency. That’s likely to change with Nagy.

Stan Mikita Accidentally Innovated The Most Custom Piece Of Equipment In Hockey

By
Marc-Louis Paprzyca

When the term “old school hockey” gets thrown around, a lot of things come to mind. Fighting, no helmets and goalies with no masks for example, but one of the biggest innovations in hockey came from an accident by Stan Mikita in the early 1960s.

The curved blade.

Prior to Stan Mikita getting his stick caught in the doorway, where the players come in and out of the bench, players used sticks with flat blades. The accident cracked Mikita’s blade but didn’t break it. As a result, he noticed a curve in his blade. Instead of going all the way back to the dressing room right away to grab a new stick, he slammed a puck into the boards, noticed a different sound and got his mind thinking.

While Mikita didn’t use that stick in the game, he kept the stick until it broke and started to experiment with curving his other sticks. What he noticed is that the blades needed to be heated up to the consistency of “spaghetti” as he once described it. From there he was able to shape it to his liking.

This also allowed him to shape his shots as well by creating shots with more movement, quicker wristers and harder slap shots.

It took him about a month to figure it out before he put it into game play but that accident changed the game forever. Of course his teammate Bobby Hull caught on and the pair set the league ablaze in the 1960s with a Stanley Cup, scoring titles and mvp trophies.

Today’s NHL players can get anything they can think of straight from the manufacturer without having to bend their own. Within these rules of course, very few players have a curve that a young hockey player can buy off the retail shelf. This gives them the ability to customize their stick to their specific style of game.

In this photo you can see what Patrick Kane used for a long time on the left and one he experimented with on the right. You can see the differences between Marian Hossa’s and Jonathan Toews’ sticks from what you can buy at the store and what they’ve actually used here.

Those guys all used pretty standard curves but then there are guys like Brandon Saad and Duncan Keith who get a little more creative with theirs. Saad has more of a heel curve as opposed to a toe curve. Speaking of a toe curve, get a look at a kink like Duncan Keith uses here. This allows Keith to reach out for pucks that are almost out of reach and pull them back into his body.

Stan Mikita created probably the most customizable and personalized piece of equipment in sports, all by accident. Next time something goes wrong with your equipment you should take a look and wonder if there is anything that can be improved on. Then you too could become an accidental innovator.
