CHICAGO — Justin Fields is a hot mess, and so are the Chicago Bears, but when it comes to blame for an 0-2 start, the buck stops with coaching and scheme before any one player’s performance.“We’re just searching for consistency,” said Matt Eberflus at a press conference Monday. “It’s about consistency, doing it right.”It certainly feels familiar, doesn’t it Bears fans?I, like most of you, spent my Sunday yelling at a TV – with Chicago's almost total ineptitude on offense, save for two possessions, driving me up a wall.In honor of the lucky few who missed the Bears’ performance, here are the Spark Notes.Chicago got off to a hot start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — scoring on their opening drive — only to digress so much as the game went on, that gouging an eye out seemed more enjoyable than watching Bears football.In similar fashion to a week before, it appeared the once vaunted Monsters of the Midway salvaged momentum in hopes of making a comeback, only to squander it in grand f...West Chicago police looking for 72-year-old man missing since Monday

(AP) — Kraft Heinz said Tuesday it's recalling more than 83,000 cases of individually-wrapped Kraft Singles American processed cheese slices because part of the wrapper could stick to the slice and become a choking hazard.The company, which is based in Chicago and Pittsburgh, said one of its wrapping machines developed a temporary issue that makes it possible for a thin strip of film to remain on the slice even after it's been removed from the wrapper. The machine has since been fixed.Kraft Heinz said it initiated the voluntary recall after it received several consumer complaints. In six cases, people said the issue caused gagging or choking, but no injuries or serious health issues have been reported, Kraft Heinz said.The recall affects 16-ounce Kraft Singles American Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product with a “Best When Used By” date between Jan. 10, 2024, and Jan. 27, 2024.

(KSNT) — Federal health officials say cake slices sold in Walmart stores could pose serious allergy risks to some individuals. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in a press release that David's Cookies is recalling more than 950 units of its 7 oz. "Marketside Chocolate Chip Explosion Cake" with the lot number BS23212. This product was sold in Walmart stores across the country. The recall was issued after 960 units of "Marketside Chocolate Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake" were mislabeled as "Marketside Chocolate Chip Explosion Cake," according to the FDA. Because the label doesn't list peanuts as an ingredient and doesn't declare a peanut allergen warning, federal regulators fear the product may pose a risk for those with a peanut allergy.(Photo Courtesy/FDA)No illnesses or injuries have been reported to the FDA yet in connection to the recalled product. If you have a peanut allergy and consume the recalled product, you are advised to contact a physician immediately.

CINCINNATI — The Lewis family was getting ready for a watch party, still preparing their food, when Major League Baseball’s amateur draft came on the television six years ago.With the Twins’ pick, No. 1 overall, set to be announced, only half the family was even tuning into the draft. And that, Royce Lewis said, was more out of general curiosity than expecting that he might be the pick.He was expecting the Twins, who he said had seemed less interested in him than the San Diego Padres, who had the No. 3 pick, and Atlanta Braves, who selected fifth, to select “anyone but me.”And at that time, June 2017, there was another high school kid in Southern California that many thought might be taken with the No. 1 pick. That kid was Hunter Greene. Wednesday, the two are set to square off for the first time as major leaguers in Cincinnati with Greene taking the mound for the Reds.The Twins, it turned out, were plenty interested in Lewis.
