Baltimore Fire Chief James S. Clack, who has been grappling with allegations of racism in his department, announced Tuesday that he is promoting two African-American officers to be his top deputies. Clack, who is white, said he promoted the two assistant...

The Bears need a quarterback. With injury-prone Jim Miller and Chris Chandler and ineffectual Henry Burris on the roster, it's safe to say the team will pursue a veteran QB this off-season. Whether he turns into just a quarterback or the quarterback,...

Q What happened to the plan to play Henry Burris more during the final games of this lost season? A Burris got in for one play Sunday — a third-and-1 rollout from a T-formation. Offensive coordinator John Shoop said Chris Chandler was playing so well...

Q Who will start at quarterback next Sunday against the Vikings—Chris Chandler or Jim Miller? A Difficult to say this early in the week, but Miller is counting on returning if the tendinitis in his shoulder continues to subside. Chandler completed 16-of-...
