The house cleaning for teams that did not make the NFL Playoffs continues with the Chicago Bears cleaning house in their top management.
Head Coach Marc Trestman and General Manager Phil Emery were let got Monday morning by the underachieving Bears who finished 2014 at 5-11 with lots of tension.
Trestman finished his second season in the Windy City on a real down note as reports of internal fights among teammates and the general lack of performance by high paid QB Jay Cutler ultimately undid the team.
Like all the others, the Bears will begin the search for replacements immediately. No telling which direction the team will go....

Jay Cutler and The Awkward Post Game Press Conference
As bad as Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler has been the past few weeks, we kind of feel bad for him after his Monday Night Football post-game presser. The Bears were again hammered, this time by the New Orleans Saints 31-15.
Cutler, who usually speaks after Bears coach Marc Trestman, came to the podium first. And there was only one reporter in the room at the time.
Cutler took 3 questions...all from ESPN.com's Mike Sando before a quizzical look at the PR folks. He then left the room before all the reporters, in the locker room at the time could get there.
Having participated in this ritual for many years, the usual procedure for most teams is the coach speaks first, then the locker room is opened. The quarterback for most teams will also speak in the conference room. Team PR generally notifies reporters/camera crews when that is about to happen.
It's a bit of a scramble/dance. Often times during a loss, players will get out of the place as fast as they can. If you aren't there, you miss your opportunity.
In this case, blame the PR staff. Poor Cutler has been under siege from opposing defenses, fans, his own coaches and teammates. This time he did nothing wrong, it just looked silly and really, really awkward.

Jay Cutler's Acting Debut
((HT: CSN Chicago))
The HQ knows what you're already thinking...
What do you mean "acting...???"
The Chicago Bears QB and his wife, Kristin Cavallari, appeared on the FXX Network show "The League."
Evidence below...
The main question the HQ has, more than anything, is how do all these athletes end up in the real lives of all these fantasy league worshipers...
The circles they travel in must be far wider than we realize...
