Assuming the Bears do have a press conference, I would to make sure Dan gets his questions in to his people on site to ask them, so he doesnt feel the need to belittle all the reporters about how they dont ask good questions like he would, as I do agree some very detailed questions need to be asked, no matter which way all thia goes!

My sources tell me that reporters aren't asking tough questions because they already know Trestman won't be fired because they have real sources, not like the homeless guy Bernstein talks to on his way to the office that provides him his Bears info.

Uh, CLH, have you already forgotten in the other thread that BOARD LUMINARY DON TINY already poo-poo'd this 100%-baseless irony where the board has no proof that Dan DOESN'T have sources, ergo we cannot comment on his sources either way.

he used a :roll: emoticon, CLH. that's the conversation-ender right there. in fact if biggie had any nuts he'd go and delete every post after that :roll: because that was the end of the thread in earnest.

so please, stop making a fool of yourself because the good upstanding people of the CSFMB will be laughing at you. seriously, you have to have base when you start making claims about dan's sources.... but then watch out, cuz if you have enough base simply to avoid baseless accusations then redskingreg is gonna show up with his link to the just say no campaign cuz lol you're on drugs!

TLDR = oh yeah today is going to be a special show. and by special i mean strap on your helmet cuz we're taking the short bus to entertainmentville today. if abbatacola/tannehill can't spend an hour loading up a bunch of drops to use to make fun of these assclowns on their way out then the show is truly "dead as a doorknob" - joe carter.

Someone needs to ask Dan why it took him 20 minutes to confirm a story that had already been on twitter.

Good job Dan. He had it first.

Once again, there is a reason that it went national and that none of the national guys refuted it. It's because it was true and they all verified it.

As I reported on 12/16, Trestman's fate was set at McCaskey bros' meeting before game vs. Saints. Emery decision made later. #Bears

Way to step out on a limb. And shocking he now wants to claim he had it "first".

Last week he was saying how it was really Terry who reported it first, but everyone picked up Dan's tweet. Now that his guess turned out to be true, he wants full credit for it.

All of this accomplished what he wanted, though. It helped divert attention away from the editor of Ebony calling him an ignorant racist for his comments about Derrick Rose.

The only response to Dan on these things should be "who gives a shit, you're not a reporter". I wish any guest or caller could subtly (or not) talk about Adam Schefter or whoever actually had the story first before getting to their point.

ProFootballTalk with credit on the Emery firing.

Jay Glazer on the Trestman firing.

Jason La Canfora confirms both.

No shock jocks who don't adhere to the same journalistic standards mentioned :scratch:

Dan doesn't get credit for reporting that the Bears will fire Trestman unless they don't. It's like taking a multiple-choice exam and putting "B unless it's C or D but certain people aren't ruling out E."

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/12/29/bernstein-virginia-mccaskey-spurred-bears-action/

By Dan Bernstein-
CBSChicago.com señor columnist

(CBS) Powerful words from the daughter of George Halas were the ultimate impetus for the swift and massive change now sweeping through the offices of the Chicago Bears.

Chairman George McCaskey, president Ted Phillips and other members of the ownership board had long been in discussions over the ultimate fate of general manager Phil Emery, coach Marc Trestman and others, soliciting advice from respected voices as to how they could approach the remodeling of the NFL’s founding franchise. Something was going to happen, but the scope of the plan was still undetermined until recently.

George has been described in recent days as angry, frustrated and single-minded in a way none had seen him previously. The reason for that — and the reason the firings came so swiftly and decisively — was Virginia McCaskey, the team’s matriarch and principal owner, speaking up strongly.

“She told George that she was embarrassed,” a source told 670 The Score on the condition of anonymity. “It was in no uncertain terms. She made it very clear how she felt about the current state of the team, and that resonated deeply with George.”

The usual dithering and inertia are gone, with the chairman making essentially unilateral moves. Everything is now on the table, including a business model emulating the Cubs and/or the Blackhawks, with Phillips moved to a business side-only role and joined by an equivalent executive overseeing all things football-related.

George McCaskey is concerned about his legacy and that of the Bears, and he understands the size of the task at hand in the aftermath of a ruined season that exposed a weak roster and ill-considered contractual obligations. He decided to act and was encouraged to do so after hearing the opinion of his mother, the team’s 91-year-old owner.

Yes, Virginia.

If the move was unilateral, why were there so many meetings?

Uh, CLH, have you already forgotten in the other thread that BOARD LUMINARY DON TINY already poo-poo'd this 100%-baseless irony where the board has no proof that Dan DOESN'T have sources, ergo we cannot comment on his sources either way.

he used a :roll: emoticon, CLH. that's the conversation-ender right there. in fact if biggie had any nuts he'd go and delete every post after that :roll: because that was the end of the thread in earnest.

so please, stop making a fool of yourself because the good upstanding people of the CSFMB will be laughing at you. seriously, you have to have base when you start making claims about dan's sources.... but then watch out, cuz if you have enough base simply to avoid baseless accusations then redskingreg is gonna show up with his link to the just say no campaign cuz lol you're on drugs!

TLDR = oh yeah today is going to be a special show. and by special i mean strap on your helmet cuz we're taking the short bus to entertainmentville today. if abbatacola/tannehill can't spend an hour loading up a bunch of drops to use to make fun of these assclowns on their way out then the show is truly "dead as a doorknob" - joe carter.


I think at this point, the good upstanding people of the CSFMB just ignore my foolishness.

"Essentially unilateral" is like being essentially pregnant.

Give me a break...another example of a non-story dressed up to sound like something important. Of course Viriginia was concerned/embarrassed/upset--it would have been more of a story if she said "Fuck it George, I don't care anymore."

"We know who's in charge now."

Yes, it's Virginia. Oh, it's George? Okay.
