Tampa Bay Writers Tell Us Why The Bears Want Mike Glennon

It looks like the Chicago Bears have their next starting quarterback in mind. At least for the 2017 season. Word hit recently that they’ve set their sights on 27-year old veteran Mike Glennon. Hailing from N.C. State, he was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2013 and was their starter for 18 games during his first two seasons in the league.

Then he was relegated to backup duties when the team drafted Jameis Winston with the #1 pick in 2015. Since then he’s fallen off the radar, leaving people with just fleeting memories of his stint on the field. Most have long since given up the idea he can start in the NFL, which was why it came as a shock when initial estimates are he’d bring in $14-15 million per year.

Since then people have been scrambling for answers. An answer as to why in the world GM Ryan Pace and his staff can possibly think this guy is worth investing in rather than just keeping Jay Cutler or bringing back Brian Hoyer. Perhaps it’s time to ask some people who might know a few things about the man himself.

WATCH: Byfuglien Takes Out Three Guys In Huge Train Wreck

Dustin Byfuglien is an imposing figure standing at 6’5″ and 260lbs. When he is barreling down the ice, you do not want to get in his way.

Last night, three players happened to get in his way when “Big Buff” was unable to stop from an awkward position. The result is everyone tumbling into the boards, including one of his teammates.

Thankfully no one was injured on the play but Justin Braun, Marcus Sorenson and teammate Toby Enstrom will feel the effects today.

Even Their Main Competition Now Think Bears Will Land Mike Glennon

The Chicago Bears plan to make some serious noise at the quarterback position this offseason. GM Ryan Pace has bided his time over the past two years, building up the roster as best he can. So far he’s made some nice progress but people have waited for his defining move under center. Now Jay Cutler appears on his way out and the moment is at hand.

Word is filtering out that the team has their sights set on veteran former backup Mike Glennon as one of their primary targets. The 27-year has backed up Jameis Winston in Tampa Bay for the past two seasons. Most sources indicated that it was between the Bears and Jets are favorites to land him.

For a time that’s been difficult to figure out. Neither side willing to offer any clue what their true intentions are. Based on new information, that has changed.

An Important Ryan Pace Draft Lesson That People Keep Ignoring

For weeks draft experts have though they have it all figured out. They know who the Chicago Bears will likely take at #3 overall. To this point the most popular name listed is Alabama defensive lineman Jonathan Allen. Others have pinpointed LSU safety Jamal Adams. Though both players are proven producers who are considered among the safest picks in this class, there is one inescapable reality about them.

They don’t fit the Ryan Pace first round mold. One thing that has stood out above all else over his two previous drafts is that the Bears GM operates with a specific methodology. It starts with what he does in the first round. Put simply: he targets standout athletes. Players who have freaky physical ability that have a chance to become great at the pro level. It was true of Kevin White in 2015 and again with Leonard Floyd in 2016.

So in truth the scouting combine is probably the event to watch, at least when it comes to the potential top 10 prospects. One will want to pinpoint the names who excelled in the drills, showcasing not only their athletic skill but also long-term potential at the NFL level. That is what Pace seems to favor in a first round pick. A hard-working, physically gifted young man who may just need some coaching to take off.

White Sox To Watch During The World Baseball Classic

The World Baseball Classic can be looked at from two different perspectives. The first being a chance to see our favorite players from our teams go out and represent their native countries. The second being a nervous wreck, fearing a heavier workload in the middle of Spring Training can have long-term consequences down the road. The tournament itself is essentially an exhibition, but for the White Sox players participating, it could be a great measuring stick to see where they stand against some top tier competition.

Jose Quintana

Ideally, Jose would not be pitching in this tournament at all. Not only is he the best player on the White Sox, but he is also the biggest remaining trade chip the front office possesses. One injury could see his trade value plummet, in turn setting the White Sox rebuild back for a prolonged period of time. However, with Quintana not having thrown much this spring, minus a few simulated starts, it could be beneficial to see him finally get into a groove. If he throws well enough against some top tier competition, it may be possible to see his trade value trend up even more.

Jason Heyward Breaks Hitless Streak With 400-Foot Home Run

Probably the most talked about storyline in the offseason for the Chicago Cubs was Jason Heyward re-working his swing. After a miserable season at the plate, Heyward went back and started over at the plate. So far in spring training he hasn’t seen many positive results, but on Monday Heyward finally got something good to turn to. Heyward clubbed a 400-foot home run against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, snapping his 0-for-15 start to the spring.

We already know Heyward is a gold glover in the outfield, but any improvement at the plate would be phenomenal for the Cubs.

Bulls Fan Favorite Brian Scalabrine Joins Draft Pool For Big3 League

bulls brian scalabrine joins draft pool big3 league

The Man. The Myth. The Legend.

…He’s back! The White Mamba is making his triumphant to the basketball court.

Earlier today The BIG3, Ice Cube’s 3-on-3 basketball league featuring retired NBA stars as players and coaches, announced that Brian Scalabrine is among the latest signings to their draft pool. Scalabrine retired from the NBA in 2012 after an 11-year career with three teams. He won a title with the Boston Celtics in 2008 and spent his final two seasons with the Chicago Bulls.

After retiring, Scal turned down the Bulls’ offer to become an assistant coach. Instead, he decided to begin his career as a broadcaster with CSN New England covering his beloved Celtics. He also had a short stint working as an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors and their D-League affiliate.

Chicago Legacy

Despite averaging just 4.6 minutes per game in 46 appearances spanning his two seasons with the Bulls, Scalabrine quickly became a fan favorite in Chicago. “White Mamba” t-shirts flew off the shelves. Memes depicting him as a superhero and last-second savior took over the internet. Fans at the United Center would loudly chant “SCAL-A-BREE-NEE!” late in 4th quarters, imploring coach Tom Thibodeau to give the veteran some garbage time minutes. When the fans got their wish, the Madhouse erupted in cheers as Scal checked in. If he scored a basket or dished out an assist, the roof came off.

Scalabrine and other retired NBA players will attend the BIG3’s combine in April. After the combine, the league will have a draft in which each of the eight teams will fill out the remainder of their 5-man rosters. The league will play games in ten different cities across the country.

There’s no doubt Scalabrine will impress at the combine. It’s unclear right now how the order of the draft will be determined, but whichever team lucks into the #1 pick has a no-brainer choice. Who doesn’t take The White Mamba?

Welcome back to the hardwood, Scal. Go get ’em!

Scott Darling Will Have This Intimidating New Mask When He Returns

By
Marc-Louis Paprzyca

I think it’s safe to say that Scott Darling is a “gear head” because he is constantly changing his looks. He never wears any mask style for any extended period of time and that’s cool.

This has to be one of the best Blackhawks’ goalie masks since Eddie Belfour. It’s not just the traditional crest or feathers but looks like neon you would see on an old sign at a bar. Actually, it looks a lot like the ‘Stranger Things’ word mark.

Whatever it is, my attempt at explaining the mask is feeble to the way the artist explains it in his own words below. A tip of the mask David Gunnarsson for putting this together.

The goalie mask is one of the few places in sports where a player can really show their personality. If this is the last mask Darling wears with the Blackhawks, he is surely going out in style.

Scott Darling´s latest mask creation is here and it is something very unique…🤓 As the total Mask Nerd I am I love to always try to come up with new design ideas and styles, every mask I create is a totally unique storybook📕. This design is rough and raw, the black base is created in a very hard vintage style with a brush👊🏻🖌. Then the rollercoaster continues🎢 and the design is created in a red sketchy style…✍🏻 Together it delivers a totally unique mask look…🎯 On a distance it is a clean cut 100% Blackhawks design, and when you come closer the design transforms in front of your eyes👀 and the sketchy vintage style gives a very raw feeling💪🏻. And for sure all the DaveArt Trademark Super FX✨ is unleashed all over the sketchy creation…🎨😎 @sdarling_33 @nhlblackhawks #DaveArt #nhl #DaveArtTheCradleOfCreativity @nhl #DaveArtTheMaskNerd

The Chicago Bears roster is going to look a lot different before the 2017 offseason is over. Already the speculation is rampant regarding what the team has planned for both free agency and the draft. Odds are that at least a third of the starting jobs could be filled by new names when the team prepares for opening day this coming September.

Already a host of different names have been connected to them. Of course there is Mike Glennon at quarterback. Then there is Stephon Gilmore at cornerback. They are even expected to make a serious run at standout right tackle Ryan Wagner. It’s really remarkable how many different avenues they can take, leading to the utter lack of knowing what to expect.

In this mad rush for information people have really stopped and considered the other side of that coin. Who on the current roster are not likely to be there much longer? It seems the time is almost at hand for people to find out.

Here’s Two Reasons Why You Should Watch The Cubs Representatives In The World Baseball Classic

Most baseball experts would argue that the World Baseball Classic is a useless tournament that nobody takes serious. In addition that it, it happens to fall right in the middle of Spring Training which makes exactly zero MLB managers happy. While I wouldn’t disagree with the viewpoint that the tournament is a pain in the ass, I would never say that it is useless either.

The value of the two week tournament lies in the opportunity for players to show their pride in their country by representing them on the field as well as getting to team up with other MLB players that they’ve had relationships with since they were young children.

The Cubs will be represented on two teams, Puerto Rico and Venezuela, during the tournament which runs from March 6-22. Javier Baez will play for Puerto Rico and Hector Rondon will play for Venezuela.

For those who are saying the WBC is a waste of time, I’ll give you two concrete reasons you should watch the tournament (at least the games that involve Baez and Rondon).
