“Jeremías,” as he was called, trekked through at least seven countries with his family from tropical Venezuela, where he grew up, to the United States and eventually Chicago. He faced that arduous journey with bright smiles for his parents and a tight hold on his baby brother, Isaías. Читать дальше...

Bears coach Matt Eberflus is expected to return for the 2024 season, a source confirmed Wednesday.

The Bears’ meetings to plan the direction of the franchise at the start of a meaningful offseason produced that verdict just days after he finished his second season 7-10.

DEAR ABBY: My grandmother and I have lived together for the past 22 years. She raised me from the age of 3. We used to be best friends. However, over the last few years, things have changed. We don’t agree on a lot, and we have very different opinions on almost everything. We argue and fight with name-calling, threats and a lot of disrespect.
