NFL: The Chicago Bears are leaving Chicago for Indiana
That’s Amaury News and Commentary
Amaury Pi-González
Soldier Field, Chicago’s home of the NFL Bears for a half-century, soon will be a trivia question. A last-ditch $5 billion effort to keep the team in Chicago failed, ending their time in Chicago. The Chicago Bears ownership said in a statement, “The passage of SB 27 would mark the most meaningful step forward in our stadium planning efforts to date. We are committed to completing the remaining site-specific due diligence necessary to support our vision of building a world-class stadium near Wolf Lake in Hammond, Indiana. We appreciate the leadership shown by Governor Braun, Speaker Huston, Senator Mishler, and members of the Indiana General Assembly in establishing this critical framework and path forward to deliver a premier venue for all of Chicagoland and a destination for Bears fans and visitors from across the globe.”
“We value our partnership and look forward to continuing to build our working relationship,” Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker said, adding that he was “surprised” after the Bears’ shift to Indiana. Why are they moving out of Chicago? The Bears have never owned their home stadium (Wrigley Field or Soldier Field).
A new, privately developed stadium (with public infrastructure help) in Indiana allows them to control revenue streams, plus the team has long sought to leave their current, publicly owned stadium, which is considered outdated and too small compared to other NFL venues.
Some people in Chicago are fine with this move. Hammond, Indiana, which is located immediately adjacent to the Illinois state border, approximately 25-30 miles southeast of downtown Chicago. The drive typically takes about 30–40 minutes, depending on traffic.
As part of the Chicago metropolitan area, it is the only city in Indiana that directly borders Chicago. At the end, it’s all about two words: modernization and money. The Bears need a new, modern facility to generate more revenue. As they move to Hammond, Indiana, they will keep their name, the Chicago Bears.
This is common. The Washington Commanders play in Maryland; the NY Giants and NY Jets play in New Jersey; the Dallas Cowboys play in Arlington; the LA Rams and LA Chargers play in Inglewood; and the San Francisco 49ers play in Santa Clara.
As a matter of fact, nearly half of the 32 NFL teams do not play in the city they represent. However, the NFL is smart enough to keep these teams within distance of their fan bases. An exception? The Raiders, who left Oakland for Las Vegas, and that is not a “Sunday drive” over 400 miles. Another team left Oakland for Las Vegas, but they have not arrived yet, and they are not in the NFL. ]

SACRAMENTO – As the weather and storms that covered the 916 area all week stopped on Thursday evening, the weather cleared up just in time for the Sacramento State Hornets to start their two-game homestands this week. However, the Hornets lost to Eastern Washington Eagles, 102-94. This loss pushed the Hornets into a 4-game losing streak, and improved the Eagles to 5-0 in the month of February. The Hornets’ record would fall to (9-17, 5-9 Big Sky)
The Hornets came home desperately wanting to secure a win and, of course, protect their home court. Hornets were 9-2 at home entering this game, but are now 9-3 after dropping this one to the Eagles. Sac State has lost the last 3 games dating back to Feb. 7th against Portland State in Sacramento. The last two losses were on the road against Northern Colorado on Feb. 12th and Northern Arizona on Feb.19th.
Coming into the game, the Hornets were 5-1 at home in conference play, with that only loss against first-place Portland State. Eastern Washington and Sacramento State last faced off on Jan. 24th in Cheney, as the Eagles defeated the Hornets, 75-67. The all time series between these two programs is now 17-49, with Sac State losing 13 of the 15 in the series. The last time the Hornets won against the Eagles in Sacramento was on Feb. 26th, 2022, with the final score being 81-75.
Eastern Washington has now won five straight after starting conference play with a 3-6 record. Although the Eagles’ road record was 3-13, the Hornets played against a different version of the Eagles that took over the Well, here in Sacramento. This game was the 1st out of just 3 home games remaining for Sac State.
With starting guard Mikey Williams being out now for 3 games due to an injury. Sac State coach Mike Bibby started his squad with guards Taj Glover, Prophet Johnson, Jahni Summers, and forwards Shaqir O’Neal and Mark Lavrenov. Mark Lavrenov is second in the Big Sky in rebounding and fifth in offensive rebounds (2.7), along with five double-doubles this season. The freshman is having an incredible first season in the NCAA and with Sac State.
Eagles guard Tyler Powell got the game going tonight with back-to-back three-pointers for Eastern Washington. Setting them up for not just a hot start, but pretty much set the tone for them to be aggressive the whole game. After just 5 minutes into the game, the score was 21-4, the Eagles lead. In that span of 5 minutes, the Hornets went 3 minutes without scoring, going 1-of-6 on the floor.
Eastern Washington found and got themselves the largest lead of the night with a 24-point lead with 13 minutes in the first half, 28-4. During that the Eagles were on a 10-0 scoring run, putting the Hornets in a tough and awkward position in their home, and well, pretty much the whole game.
After 10 minutes had gone by in the game, the Hornets were still down 33-16. Although Sac State’s shooting was starting to pick up, the team found themselves playing catch up all night in their home. Hornets were now shooting 6-of-14, making their last 5 shots on the floor in a row. While the Eagles also made their last five shots out of seven attempts.
Hornets guard Prophet Johnson at the 6-minute mark would make the first three-pointer of the night for Sacramento State, as the team is now 1-of-4 from beyond the arc. On the other side of the court, the Eagles were flying high as they finished the first half with 10 made three pointers out of 16 attempts. Eastern Washington would also later finish the first half with 57 points. Eagles guard Jojo Anderson makes an acrobatic layup to beat the buzzer for the team.
At halftime, Sacramento State is down going into halftime at 57-39. Hornets guard Prophet Johnson leads the Hornets so far with 12 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists. He also hasn’t been subbed out at all, as coach Mike Bibby is relying on his game since guard Mikey Williams, who averages 17.1 points per game, is out due to injury. Injuries have been a massive problem as the team was without six players on Saturday against Northern Arizona University.
Coming back from halftime, the Hornets were locked in and ready for a comeback. The team showed their determination, hustle, and grit by fighting back into the game for a possible comeback. Sac State would start the second half going on a quick 8-0 scoring a run to bring them back within 10 points. That scoring run would change into a 10-4, with 6 points of those coming from Hornets guard Prophet Johnson.
Halfway through the second half, the Hornets were able to cut the lead to just 11 points, but was still struggling shooting from deep and at the free throw line. Eagles guard Isaiah Moses was determined to get the road win as he finished the night with 26 points on 6-of-8 shooting from deep, along with Tyler Powell, who had 17 points shooting 5-of-8 from deep as well.
In the final two minutes of the game, the Hornets found themselves down just 9 points, 95-86, but time was not on the Hornets’ side. Bad shooting, bad inside passes, and questionable calls from the ref haunted Sac State the whole night. Coming into that final stretch, you wanted time on your side, as the Eagles were making tough layups and shots that ultimately secured their win. The Hornets were desperately trying to stop and play hard defense, but couldn’t. As the final buzzer went off, the final score would be 102-94.
Hornets guard Prophet Johnson led the team with 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists. Matching him with 26 points was Arman Madi, who also had 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Sacramento State has proven they love to play and show out in their home, by shooting 43% from deep. Tonight’s game was a different story as the team was able to shoot at only 29%. (5-of-17)
Sacramento State will return back in their home this Saturday, on Feb. 21st, to host the Idaho Vandals. The game will start right back again at 7 p.m. on ESPN+. This will be the second last home game of the season, as both programs fight for wins and lift their team higher in the standings. Idaho is in 7th, and Sacramento State is in 8th in the Big Sky Conference.

By Jeremiah Salmonson
DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO — Losers of their last 14 games, the Sacramento Kings came out of the All-Star break on Thursday in desperate need to break the skid and not set a new franchise record. Unfortunately, the Kings fell to the Orlando Magic 131-94 and set a new franchise record of 15 straight losses.
In the first quarter, the Kings got off to a sluggish start to begin the game. DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook dominated the possessions to start the game for the Kings, and it didn’t yield many results. However, the Kings’ second unit and young guys, led by Malik Monk, caught fire to end the quarter and outscored the Magic 28-18 in the opening quarter. Monk had nine of the Kings’ 28 first-quarter points as he caught fire in his initial minutes on the court to take the early 10-point lead.
In the second quarter, the Magic quickly flipped the script. The Magic came out firing and erased the Kings’ 10-point lead heading into the quarter. At the 7:23 mark, the Kings took a timeout as the Magic had pulled to within two points of the Kings, 37-35. Doug Christie tried to stop the bleeding, but it didn’t make much of a difference. The Magic went on to continue to outscore the Kings by a 46-27 margin to take a 64-55 lead into halftime. Paolo Banchero and Anthony Black led the resurgence for the Magic as they scored 13 and 12 points, respectively, in the second quarter alone. Nique Clifford and DeMar DeRozan paced the Kings in the second quarter as they each scored five points in the frame. The Kings, already facing a 14-game losing streak, had lost all of their momentum from the first quarter and needed to start the second half on a different note if they hoped to snap the skid.
In the third quarter, it didn’t get any better for the Kings. The halftime reset did the Kings little to no good as the Magic came out firing in the third quarter. The Magic outscored the Kings 38-29 in the third quarter to take the 102-84 lead into the final quarter of the game. The Kings’ perimeter defense was nonexistent as the Magic knocked down eight triples in the third quarter alone to aid in their surge against the Kings.
In the fourth quarter, it wasn’t much more than a cardio workout for both teams. The Magic continued to take it to the Kings as they expanded their already large lead in the fourth. The Magic outscored the Kings 29-10 in the fourth quarter to seal the deal on a 131-94 win.
The Kings’ leading scorer in the game was Maxime Raynaud, who had 17 points for the Kings. The Magic were led by a 30-point performance from Banchero in victory as Black added 20 points of his own.
The loss is the 15th consecutive loss for the Kings and is the most losses in franchise history, which includes stops in Cincinnati and Kansas City.
After the game, Keegan Murray spoke candidly with the media about the struggles this season and the past few years.
“It’s tough. I mean, I don’t really have words to explain it, to be honest. I don’t know if anyone really has words to explain it, what’s transpired these last three or four years. But obviously we got to change something. This obviously can’t happen.”
Up Next: The Kings take on the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday at 5 p.m. PST in Texas.

From My Notebook:” Pelé, the World’s Best Fútbol player, FIFA US ’94 World Cup. —
That’s Amaury News and Commentary
Amaury PI-González
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be hosted by three countries Canada, México, and the United States. This marks the first time three nations have jointly hosted the tournament, which will feature 48 teams competing across 16 cities from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara will host six matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including five group stage games and one Round of 32 knockout match on July 1, 2026
. The Bay Area is a premier host city, welcoming teams like Australia, Switzerland, Qatar, and Algeria for a tournament running from June 11 to July 19, 2026. This will be the second time the US has hosted the FIFA World Cup. The U.S. previously hosted the 1994 FIFA World Cup, which holds the record for the highest total attendance in World Cup history.
As the United States hosted the 1994 FIFA World Cup, the Bay Area welcomed the great Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pelé. The 1994 FIFA World Cup in the Bay Area was anchored by Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto, which hosted six matches, including a memorable July fourth Round of the 16th game where Brazil defeated the U.S.1-0.
The Bay Area served as a key venue for the tournament, with Brazil based in the South Bay, turning Los Gatos into a party headquarters. The Brazilians were a class act, as I remember, and I had the pleasure of interviewing many of their great players in 1994 while working for Telemundo CH 48 San José.
The 1994 FIFA World Cup-winning Brazilian team, which competed in the USA, was managed by Carlos Alberto Parreira and featured star players Romário, Bebeto, Dunga (captain), and Claudio Taffarel. They defeated Italy in the final to win their fourth title, with a strong core also including Jorginho, Aldair, Marcio Santos, Mauro Silva, and Zinho.
Among the personalities present was perhaps the best player ever, the great “Pelé,” who decades earlier played in New York for the Cosmos. He was the guy who invigorated Soccer in the US and one of the guys responsible for the US hosting the ’94 World Cup for the first time.
Pelé played in four World Cup tournaments (1958, 1962, 1966, 1970) and scored 12 goals in his World Cup career. 1958, 1962, and 1970. He is the only player in history to win three World Cups. Today’s greatest Fútbol star is Lionel Mesi, who won the 2022 World Cup for Argentina. Who is the GOAT?
Although it is very subjective, I pick Pelé. who received his famous nickname as a child in school because he struggled to correctly pronounce the name of his favorite player, Bilé a goalkeeper for the team his father played on.
Pelé gave two television exclusive interviews in Spanish during the ’94 USA World Cup,one to my friend and colleague Tony López ,Sports Anchor for Univisión CH 14,San Francsico, the other one to this reporter,Telemundo Sports Anchor for CH 48 San José. Pelé was proficient in three languages, his native Portuguese plus English and Spanish, born in 1940 he died in 2022, recognized as a worldwide sports icon, just like Muhammad Ali, Pelé was a once in a lifetime sports icon with a great personality and vision for his sport.
At the time the sport (Soccer in the US) was not as popular as today and I truly believe our coverages on Spanish television between Tony at Univisión and me at Telmundo was much comprehensive than all the English format TV stations in the Bay Area, they truly could not compete with us because we were the only two TV station in Northern California that covered this sport year ’round not only during the World Cup.
The ABC,CBS,NBC affilaited stations here in the Bay Area really never covered this sport, unitl the 1994 World Cup took place here. It was like the US media just discovered Soccer.
The FIFA World Cup is widely considered the greatest team sporting event in the world, boasting the highest viewership and global popularity due to soccer’s immense reach. Held every four years, it attracts over 3.5 billion viewers and offers unparalleled intensity, cultural spectacle, and passion.
Quote: “The World Cup is a very important way to measure the good players, and the great ones. It is a test of a great player,” -Pelé
