In the city's history, the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 is perhaps one of its grandest moments - Chicago's emergence on the world stage as a new metropolis rising from the ashes of a great fire just 22 years prior.But in recent years, the city's finest hour has been inextricably intertwined with its first serial killer, the dapper and duplicitous H.H. Holmes, thanks largely to Erik Larson's wildly popular 2003 novel "The Devil in the White City."

Much of the current discussion regarding the 2023 Chicago Bears has been about the need to add another pass rusher.While that certainly would be nice, Eberflus has already shown us he doesn't need a great pass rush to have a productive defense.Do the Bears certainly need to get after the quarterback better than they did in 2022, when they managed an abysmal 20 sacks and pressured quarterbacks on just 15.9 percent of drop backs, ranking 32nd and 31st in the league?

The Bears and Colts will hold joint practices before their preseason game in Indianapolis, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.The teams will practice at Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield, Indiana, where the Colts hold training camp.The practices will precede the Colts' Aug. 19 preseason game with the Bears at Lucas Oil Stadium.

State charges including attempted murder have been dismissed against a woman accused of stabbing an Indiana University student of Chinese descent on a public bus, court records show.Billie R.

INDIANAPOLIS The Indianapolis 500 is the one race Josef Newgarden desperately wanted to win.It's basically the only race that matters to his boss.Coming up empty for 11 consecutive years had become personal for Newgarden, a two-time IndyCar series champion.He finally broke through Sunday, though, winning the Indy 500 to extend the team owner Roger Penske's record to 19 victories and give him his first win at the race since Penske agreed to buy Indianapolis Motor Speedway in late 2019.

Despite speculation he might go as high as No. 4 to Indianapolis, Kentucky quarterback Will Levis did not hear his name called in the first round of the NFL Draft - spending the entire Thursday night waiting in the green room.Levis left Kansas City after his first-round snub, but New England Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon later offered some words of advice for him.

With two more days left in the 2023 NFL Draft, let's take a look at some of the highlights from Thursday night's festivities in Kansas City.One blue-chipper after another came off the board in a flurry of Power Five dominance.Not a single Group of Five star heard his name called by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell before the night drew to a close.

State leaders in Indiana have blocked the state's largest city from banning right turns on red even though it would help increase safety for the city's most vulnerable road users - just the latest example of a state bigfooting city officials over basic street safety.And the move by the Indiana state legislature comes as a new study provides more evidence that drivers turning right pose a clear danger for pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users.

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay listed his Top 5 greatest NFL players ever, but fans and Twitter users pointed out that he omitted Peyton Manning.Everyone has their own opinion as to who they view as the best in a certain field.That is especially prominent in sports, as fans and media express and debate why they believe a player or a specific team should be considered the best of all time.

Matt Ryan, the recently retired former MVP, was quick to hint that he may return to the NFL at some point in the future.Matt Ryan spent 14 productive years with the Atlanta Falcons before ending his career on a sour note with one miserable, very bad, no-good year with the Indianapolis Colts last season.

Former Florida Gators quarterback Anthony Richardson, who was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts, was nearly a Washington Commander instead.Anthony Richardson is a project quarterback, but the Colts are willing to let him learn on the fly.In Indianapolis, Richardson will have a chance to grow with first-year head coach Scott Steichen, and perhaps start right away.

The Rams apparently are no longer ready for prime time.Last season, the Super Bowl LVI champions nosedived to a 5-12 finish.Their reward?A seemingly easier schedule - at least theoretically - though a start that includes a Sept. 10 opener at Seattle, a home game against the San Francisco 49ers and a "Monday Night Football" road game at Cincinnati could leave the Rams winless in September.

As the second round of the 2023 NFL draft continued to move, the New England Patriots stayed home.The war room in Foxborough did so to select Georgia Tech defensive lineman Keion White at No. 46 overall.White would become the fourth edge prospect to leave the board around the league on Friday night, following Auburn's Derick Hall, Notre Dame's Isaiah Foskey and LSU's BJ Ojulari.

Will Levis and Michael Mayer fell from the first round in the 2023 NFL Draft, so where will they go?Full Day 2 mock draft for the second and third rounds.The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft is in the books and, as predicted, it was full of calamity, chaos, wild moves, and plenty of surprises.The Detroit Lions provided several of them, trading down but then still reaching with both selections to take Jahmyr Gibbs and Jack Campbell.

More than 40 leading dealers, the majority of them based in London, have thrown their support behind a new art fair announced last month, which will take the place of the cancelled Masterpiece fair in Chelsea in June.The Treasure House Fair (22-26 June), formerly the London Summer Art Fair, is being launched by two of the original founders of Masterpiece-the London dealer Thomas Woodham-Smith and Harry van Der Hoorn, who owns the Dutch stand building company Stabilo.

When Eric Gonzaba came out as gay in the 2000s, his family and friends were accepting.He was grateful for the support, but it was still an isolating experience being a queer teen in a small rural town.I always thought that I was alone, being the only gay person in Harrison county, Indiana, he said.So he was nervous the first time he wore a rainbow flag T-shirt around his college campus at Indiana University.

The Cowboys are bringing back defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins on a one-year deal worth up to $1.5 million, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports.The team still has hopes of re-signing Carlos Watkins to join Hankins, Osa Odighizuwa, Quinton Bohanna and Neville Gallimore at the position.

The New England Patriots are in need of cornerback help, and them addressing the position early in next year's draft would not be a surprise.One of the prospects they might be targeting in that case is Mississippi State's Emmanuel Forbes.At the very least, the team is doing its due diligence.After already meeting with him at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, the Patriots will also host him on a pre-draft visit: according to a report by Jon Sokoloff of WCBI News, New England is among eight teams bringing Forbes in for a workout.

The team was a big-time disappointment this past season.The Indianapolis Colts look to bounce back in 2022.So can the team find a reliable quarterback?Many considered the Indianapolis Colts the favorite to win the AFC South this past season.Despite the fact that the team that highly-regarded defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus would leave to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears, the Colts had a solid roster and had picked up veteran quarterback Matt Ryan for a third-round draft choice.

John E. Woods, an award-winning translator of the works of Thomas Mann, one of Germany's greatest novelists, and of the lesser-known Arno Schmidt, whose complex fiction has been compared to James Joyce's, died on Feb. 15 in Berlin, where he had lived since 2005.He was 80. Francesco Campitelli, his husband and only immediate survivor, said that the cause was a lung ailment and that Mr. Woods also had skin cancer.

Allen toppled onto its side while at dock in Edinburgh on Wednesday, leaving dozens of people injured.The cause of the accident, which left the vessel tipped at a 45-degree angle, was under investigation, the police said.At least 33 people were injured, with 21 of them taken to hospitals, according to the Scottish Ambulance Service.

The Pro Day cycle is in full swing, and things are heating up this week.A total of 30 schools are inviting NFL personnel this week - including USC (Tuesday), Auburn (Tuesday), Alabama (Friday), Penn State (Friday), and Boston College (Friday).Also on that list is Ohio State, which will open its doors on Wednesday.

While the last week has been filled with tons of free agency news and speculation around the league, we can't forget about the NFL Draft quickly approaching next month.With the draft commencing in a little over a month, the Patriots will soon have an important decision on who to draft with their selection.

Here is the latest news on Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson potentially going to the Indianapolis Colts in a blockbuster offseason trade.This is so far away from happening, but the Indianapolis Colts remain an interesting possible trade destination for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

As it stands right now, there has been little movement in the Lamar Jackson situation, so could the Patriots make a play for him with little competition?I just do not understand how Lamar Jackson is not either signed back with the Baltimore Ravens or has been offered about 20 different offer sheets to sign.
