I'm going to try but I give myself 3 McGowan references, tops, before I find out if the Game is still on the air or if they are just All-Tim Doyle, All-Day.

I'm glad their Bearsiest Bears guy is taking the end of the year off.

Seriously, what a joke. Huge day and WSCR just let's Terry (I'll allow it) and Mannelly take the time off. Terry, ok he gets what he wants. But Mannelly? Doesn't that defeat the point?

Why do people keep saying that Phillips knows where all the bodies are buried?

Did Virginia actually kill someone? I mean, what the hell? He can't know that much that he's employed for life.

Spiegel sticking with this idea that Trestman successfully transferred the blame here on Cutler.

He's nuts if he thinks Trestman will be an OC next year.

"There are Trestman rumors everywhere." Well, let's hear one because you're the only one I've read that has one.

Those rumors were "he's going to get fired by the Bears"

Yeah, usually I am ok with the guys taking off the time they've earned like any employee. But this is pretty bad considering Mannelly is like 6 months on the job. Take a vacation in the post-SuperBowl dead time.

To be fair to Mannelly, isn't he used to being done with his job about this time of the year usually? Well at least for most of the past 16 years he was done working after week 17 of football...

Bears haven't hired a HC with any HCing experience since - 1913 ... no, I mean, the mid-1950s.

but they're not cheap. Don't you ever say that.

@adamlevitan: Marc Trestman made JOSH MCCOWN a weekly top-5 fantasy quarterback. I'll be buying stock in him and his offense no matter where he lands.

@nfldraftscout: I like this. Trestman + Mariota RT @MoveTheSticks: Trestman to Tampa as OC would be a good move for Lovie Smith.

OK, but that's not really a rumor. Those are just some Twitterites Twittering.

Hearing Robbie Gould was up next I actually gave this a try. Heard Hamp. NOPE.

And ESPN has Cowheard on still, and I can only assume he's wondering where Trestman's father is.

10am - Robbie Gould is going to light Joe DeCamillis on fire.

Can't wait. Now, we're going to hear the real story.

Unless, he's not fired. In which case, I'm breaking that story right now. He's fired.

Watching the video-cast for the first time. Didn't realize Speigel looked exactly like Mancow with the glasses and goatee. And Barry looks like a little old woman.

Have these guys been instructed to mention "as Dan Bernstein reported" as many times as possible?

He called in to Doug and OB with that story. Some other guy called in and suggested the Bears trade for Aaron Rogers. Yeah, they should totally do that...

Not a recipe for a clear cell phone call. Brilliant idea to put him on from the middle of the Carribean.

He should have used the official Home Run Inn Disney Cruise Hotline...

That was a terrible call. They couldn't spring for a ship to shore line or something better? This is almost 2015 not 1915. Swing and a miss! C'mon, Man!
