Baseball fan goes viral for working on laptop during Cubs' win over Brewers
A baseball fan sitting in the bleachers at Wrigley Field to watch the Chicago Cubs take on the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday afternoon was spotted working on his laptop during the first game of a doubleheader. The Marquee Sports Network dubbed him the "fan of the game" as the Brewers started the top of the eighth inning down 6-4. "How badly do you want it? Did you bring your mouse? You better bring your mouse," Cubs play-by-play broadcaster Jon Sciambi said as the camera panned to the man. "There's only one question. Is this guy doing work or my other thought is he's going over fantasy football?" Sciambi made valid points. However, the rest of the baseball world took notice and the moment went viral across social media. The Cubs and Toronto Blue Jays were among those who added their own quips. Chicago held on for the 6-4 win over Milwaukee. The Cubs scored two runs in the first inning and three runs in the third inning as they jumped out to an early lead. Cubs second baseman Willi Castro hit a three-run home run in the third. Outfielder Owen Caissie added a solo shot in the sixth inning. Chicago starter Matthew Boyd picked up his 12th win of the season. He lasted 5.1 innings, allowed four runs on six hits and struck out three. Brewers slugger Christian Yelich hit a solo home run in the fourth inning. Chicago won the second game of the doubleheader. However, Milwaukee still maintained a seven-game lead on Chicago in the race for the National League Central division crown despite the losses.

While new stadium takes shape, Northwestern looks to re-establish winning foundation
EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — The steel frame for Northwestern's new home stands out as a beacon of promise on the site of the old stadium. The sections filled in by concrete are more signs of progress. A little more than a year after the school broke ground on a new Ryan Field, the framework for something special appears to be in place. 'It truly will be the best football venue in the country,' coach David Braun said. 'It won't affect us in 2025. It's certainly affecting our recruiting in a positive manner. But so much to look forward to in 2026.' As for what Northwestern has to look forward to this year? The Wildcats come into Braun's third season looking to bounce back after going from winning eight games in 2023 to finishing 4-8 last year and near the bottom of the Big Ten with a 2-7 mark. Only Maryland and Purdue had worse records in league play. Northwestern has a new quarterback in SMU transfer Preston Stone and one more season playing in a temporary lakefront stadium before moving into what figures to be a sparkling new home. New QB Northwestern struggled at quarterback the past few seasons. The Wildcats hope Stone can change that. Things didn't go the way Stone would have liked last year, when he started the first three games before Kevin Jennings took over. The Mustangs advanced to the College Football Playoff. But in 2023, Stone started the first 12 games, throwing for 3,197 yards with 28 touchdowns and six interceptions before breaking a leg in the regular-season finale. SMU went on to win the AAC championship. Jack Lausch, who started the final 10 games for Northwestern last season, informed Braun in June that he was leaving the team to focus on baseball. Keep an eye on Left tackle Caleb Tiernan earned an 88.9 pass blocking grade from Pro Football Focus last season that ranked sixth among all tackles. He gave up just one sack over the final six games. Run it Northwestern's running backs combined for 910 yards rushing a year ago, with Cam Porter, Joseph Himon II and Caleb Komolafe accounting for 897 of them. All three are back. Porter led the team with 501 yards and Himon was second with 257, but the Wildcats will need to get more from their run game. They were 17th in the Big Ten in rushing at 98.5 yards per game. Lakefront living Northwestern will play five of its seven home games in one of college football's most unique settings, plus two more at Wrigley Field against No. 14 Michigan and Minnesota. The Wildcats were 2-3 on campus last season and lost both conference games, to Indiana and Wisconsin. But with its location along the lake and views of the Chicago skyline, the pop-up stadium was a stunner. Wisconsin's strength coach even made good on a promise and took the plunge after the Badgers' victory. The place is getting a bit of an upgrade this year, with more premium seating and improved audio and video. The schedule Though the Wildcats miss defending national champion Ohio State, the schedule is hardly a breeze. Northwestern opens against a potential playoff team when it visits Tulane on Aug. 30, and No. 7 Oregon, the defending Big Ten champion, visits on Sept. 13. The games against Michigan and Minnesota at Wrigley Field are on Nov. 15 and 22. The Wildcats also have some difficult road games, with trips to No. 2 Penn State on Oct. 11, USC on Nov. 7 and No. 12 Illinois on Nov. 29. Northwestern's home opener is against Western Illinois on Sept. 5. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. AP college football: and

Why Caleb Williams' preseason TD pass could be a sign of things to come for Bears
For the past four months, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has leaned into his growing rapport with wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus and found trust. 'That's my guy,' Williams said Sunday night after jump-starting a 38-0 preseason romp of the Buffalo Bills with a 36-yard touchdown pass to his new pal. Advertisement Indeed, Zaccheaus' insertion into the Bears' new offense has offered comfort with the veteran routinely putting in extra time since the spring to get on the same page as his new quarterback. 'Even if it's not maybe the physical reps, it's the mental reps of him and I having open communication,' Williams said. '(It's about) where I expect him to be, how he runs this (route) and all of that. I think it shows.' Zaccheaus may not have the production of DJ Moore or the pedigree of Rome Odunze or the potential of Luther Burden III. But what he does have in the latter stages of his first preseason in Chicago is the belief of the starting quarterback and a solidified role in the offense. Rewind now to the opening drive Sunday at Soldier Field, to third-and-5 from the Bills' 36. Zaccheaus, in the slot to the right and lined up inside of both Odunze and Moore, used a switch release and a crisp route to gain inside leverage against Bills safety Cole Bishop. From there, it was easy. Williams, hitting the top of a three-step shotgun drop, was on time and on target with a strike over the middle that found Zaccheaus at the 28-yard line — in space, with room to operate. All Zaccheaus needed to do was outrun Bishop and make one move to dodge safety Damar Hamlin and the Bears had an early end zone party and a feel-good Williams touchdown pass that reactivated Chicago's imagination for what the future might hold. The Wizard of OZ 🪄 📺: FOX — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) August 18, 2025 Best of all, Williams had his latest reminder that the weight of responsibility on his shoulders doesn't have to feel as heavy as it sometimes might. Not with a refurbished Bears offensive line offering him more time and more comfort. Not with so many capable playmakers around him. Not with new head coach Ben Johnson serving as an innovative offensive mind and proven play caller who has pushed his quarterback to understand the value of playing point guard rather than superhero. Advertisement That messaging has been consistent. Lean on the design of each play. Distribute. Watch yards pile like a pinball score as receivers, backs and tight ends find the adrenalizing run-after-catch expressway. 'That's huge,' Zaccheaus said Sunday. 'Huge. Especially with all the playmakers we have on this team. That's definitely a big part of this offense.' It was no small thing — and no coincidence — that the Williams-to-Zaccheaus touchdown pass Sunday came two days after the duo also connected for a long score during a joint practice with Buffalo at Halas Hall. In that instance, Zaccheaus again did most of the damage after Williams found him on a short crossing route. And let's be honest, the highlights of both big plays seemed as if they could have been plucked straight from the 2024 Detroit Lions action movie, one that featured a league-high 564 points scored and an NFC-best 6,962 yards. (The Lions, according to Pro Football Reference, also led the league in yards after the catch last season with 2,669, 42 percent greater than the YAC total the Bears had last season.) So, yes, there are new ideas and new offensive twists taking root at Halas Hall. And Sunday night offered a quick tease for what could be possible for a developing offense with a second-year quarterback learning how to push all the right buttons. The TD pass to Zaccheaus was simply the punctuation on a 92-yard march on which Williams completed five of his six passes to four players for 97 yards. In the big picture, that series offered a snapshot of progress for Williams — with the pre-snap operation, with the command in his play, with the understanding of what is being asked of him and what is not. 'He has really been locked in,' Johnson said Sunday night. 'Anytime you're a young player, there's usually a couple of steps forward, then one step back. And that's really been the story of this training camp. He and I have been really open and honest about it as we've gone through it. He has had some really good practices. And then he's had a couple where it's like, 'That's not good enough, bud.'' Last week, though, Johnson felt Williams stacked three encouraging practices together, then followed with a crisp performance on game night. 'The challenge,' Johnson said, 'is going to be to keep pushing in that direction.' Added Williams: 'From a month ago, I think I've grown a lot. Now, my mindset is to keep growing.' Advertisement Some of that growth will come in how Williams learns to trust the offensive system and the multitude of weapons around him while relying less on his arm talent and off-script magic to create explosive plays. Johnson appreciates the playmaking gifts of his young starting quarterback. But the Bears coach also understands his responsibility in alleviating pressure from Williams and creating fuel-efficient opportunities for explosive plays. That was part of Johnson's reasoning in publicly vocalizing a 70 percent completion rate goal for Williams. It's also why Johnson continually emphasizes the importance of creating an offense that can be among the league's best in passing EPA (expected points added). The Lions, for what it's worth, were third in passing EPA per dropback last season (0.26); the Bears ranked 28th (-0.05). 'There are different ways to create an efficient passing game,' Johnson said earlier this month. 'And that's where, talking with Caleb, the completion percentage has to increase over the course of camp. Plus, our skill guys have to understand: put a foot in the ground and get vertical. You're not going to outrun guys sideways.' For Johnson and Bears receivers coach Antwaan Randle El, the reminders of 'catch and knife' to their pass catchers aren't just a casual suggestion. That's a way of life in Johnson's offense and why the Bears coach sometimes flips out when he sees players moving horizontally with the ball. 'We need to get north and south,' Johnson said. 'Because that extra 3 and 4 yards is going to be better than running sideways to only get an extra 1 or 2. And you've got to drill it. You've got to talk about it. You've got to be about it. You've got to believe in it.' Count Zaccheaus among the believers in that concept, evidenced by his big score Sunday night. That also gave Zaccheaus heightened belief in Williams, whom he described as 'very calm' in their first preseason game together. Advertisement 'He was composed,' Zaccheaus said, 'and just in the moment. That was good to see. Now we have to keep building on that.' That building process will continue this week with the Bears preceding Friday's preseason finale against the Kansas City Chiefs with a demanding padded practice on Wednesday. Then, as the Bears cross the bridge from the preseason to Week 1, they will work to tighten all the details within their offense. Still, Sunday's first drive was promising for Williams, capped with a TD pass that offered a valuable lesson on how small details and crisp execution can lead to big production. Spot the pattern.
