The Fire today announced a new television deal that will see them broadcast a record 18 games on My50 Chicago WPWR-TV. Good news for the team locally, but long-time announcer Kenn Tomasch will not be part of the commentary team this season. Fred Huebner will be the play-by-play man and he'll be joined by Chris Doran as color analyst. So what happened to Tomasch? |

Peter Wilt, the former GM and President of the Chicago Fire, is running a sweepstake as his women's team (which will begin play in 2009 at Toyota Park) chooses its name.

The chances of the Fire winning a significant trophy (MLS Cup, Open Cup, Supporters Shield) in any given year were essentially 30% as recently as 2004 - odds dropped to one in four in 2006 and 21% this year. With the expansion to Seattle and Philadelphia, however, chances of a major trophy will plummet to only 19% by 2010. |

Six weeks to go and the silence is deafening. The MLS 2008 season opens the last week of March and while other clubs around the league are hustlin’ players in and out, the Chicago Fire have had a rather uninspiring off-season. While there have been major staff-level changes, a new Technical Director or Academy Coach just doesn’t quite get the fans hyped up and hopeful. Unfortunately, the sort of news that does has gone missing this year. For the record here’s a quick version of the story thus far. |

With 10 years of experience assisting championship managers Bob Bradley and Dave Sarachan, Hamlett remarked that he had been working towards this goal for a long time. “There is no other place I'd rather have this opportunity,” replied the new manager. |
