I absolutely LOVED this article. Especially, "Hello, anyone home? Hello, anybody pissed off yet?"

Column: Is Virginia McCaskey pissed off yet by Bears' latest embarrassment? Enough to fire everybody and her son?
Is Virginia pissed off yet? Can someone check to see if Virginia McCaskey is pissed off?
Because that’s the only way anything gets done with the Bears.
And after the Bears lost at home Sunday to one of the worst teams in the league on five field goals by a guy whom current Bears wonks decided wasn’t good enough seemingly presents enough reasons to urgently bang on Virginia McCaskey’s door.
Hello, anyone home? Hello, anybody pissed off yet?
The daughter of team founder George Halas is in charge, her sons serving as various forms of sock puppets, and until she says go, nobody goes.
She said it with Phil Emery and Marc Trestman. She said go. They were gone. She said go because she was pissed off. We were told so by George McCaskey, the latest son to be in charge of delivering mom’s messages and carrying out her orders. We were told Virginia McCaskey was pissed off several years ago because the team was embarrassing the franchise, if not also the family and the city.
And now the Bears are giving us a sense of deja stupid.
George McCaskey has given his mom something worse. GM Ryan Pace and coach John Fox have won just 12 games in almost three seasons, one fewer than the Emery-Trestman train wreck had in two.
Underscoring the disgrace was a tsunami of ineptitude splattered all over Soldier Field on Sunday, one of the Bears’ most pathetic losses in, I don’t know, a week.
It’s hard comparing which stink is worse, but losing 15-14 to the previously 1-10 49ers at home ranks down there with the back-to-back 50-burgers the Patriots and Packers hung on the previous clown unit put together by son George McCaskey and virtual son Ted Phillips, the team president.
Virginia McCaskey hasn’t wanted to fire Fox or Pace so far. She hasn’t wanted to fire Phillips or her son du jour. Nobody knows why, what with the results all of them have delivered. The Bears might not be the Browns, but you can see them from here.
And remember the Browns are a joke from the owner on down.
The Bears have someone they believe is a future franchise quarterback. They have nobody to coach him to get to that point. They also have nobody who can find receiver talent to see if he can figure it out himself. What’s wrong with this picture?
I don’t think Fox and offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains have ruined Mitch Trubisky forever, but the player for whom the GM-in-hiding traded up to select has shown worse mechanics and fundamentals as this death march played out. Trubisky managed several nice throws Sunday, some of them even on first down. He directed one scoring drive, a TD throw to a guy who couldn’t be a No 5 receiver on a good team but is a No. 1 on the Bears. He was more accurate than he had been of late, but he wasn’t threatening, and he displays little pocket awareness.
Trubisky posted a better passer rating than Jimmy Garoppolo, the freshly starched 49ers quarterback from Arlington Heights who has fewer pro starts, but Trubisky didn’t look as dangerous. Of course, Trubisky wasn’t allowed to play against a Bears defense that managed almost no pass rush and was giving receivers eight-yard cushions. When the defense need to make one measly play in the last 5:23, the Bears were trampled for 86 yards on 14 plays to set up Robbie Gould for the ultimate revenge — another game-winning kick in Soldier Field.
Inert and inept offense and defense do not win as many games as Bears employees apparently believe they do. Those people playing like that, those people coaching like that, those people selecting players like that — all those people have to go.
An you know what else? The people selecting the football people in charge can go, too.
This is George McCaskey’s second administration. It’s worse than his first.
This is — I don’t know how many administrations this is for Phillips, but I know it’s as bad as a Sunday can look.
They still have jobs. Everybody still has jobs. They can’t do those jobs, but they still have them. Why? Why isn’t Virginia McCaskey pissed off, starting with her son? Why isn’t she doing something about it? Look like you care and are capable of making it right. Someone, anyone, find out if Virginia’s pissed yet, because if not, she’s the only one who isn’t and the only one who can do squat about it.
