5:32 That's Blue Oyster Cult, Burning For You. That's what it's called right? If it's not it should be. It's not on Steve's screen and he doesn't want to call down to Jack and start his day off with that smart-ass kid.
5:33 It's actually Burnin' For You, a song about gonorrhea if Steve's not mistaken. It used to be called Burnin' From You but the label made them change it to make the song more radio-friendly.
5:34 Blue Oyster Cult, or BOC, had a private jet so you can imagine the kind of things that went on in there. They were one of the first bands with a private jet.
5:35 Buzz saw American Gangster over the weekend. It's about Frank Lucas, who took over Harlem after Bumpy Johnson. He made millions of dollars and was eventually caught. When asked why he kept going he said he wanted the jet.
5:36 Steve wants a jet and he doesn't even have anywhere to go. If he had a jet though, he'd help in the search for Stacy along with the FBI and the Navy. He's not sure how a jet would help since it goes so fast. He's not sure how he'd be able to spot the blue barrel and the missing scuba weights.
5:37 Buzz noticed that the Sun-TImes is referring to him simply as Drew as in "What's in the Barrel Drew?" He was just making some wine with the barrel! Stacy used to get up in the barrel and stomp on grapes like in that I Love Lucy episode. Then her feet would get all red from the grapes and she wanted a divorce. Anytime she saw red she wanted a divorce.
5:38 Drew's a jokester, a Parrothead, a former police officer, a suspect, a winemaker and a lover of barrels. It's never a good sign when you're in a relationship with someone who has one of those big blue barrels with nothing in it.
5:39 What would you need a barrel for? Maybe you want to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel, or you could make pickles in there and sell them at a Buffett show.
5:40 Drew still has to go out and get the mail everyday, you'd think the mail man would just bring it to the front porch as a courtesy. Now everyday Drew has to go out there and he's running out of clever things to say to reporters.
5:41 Drew's former fiance is on the Today's Show today, God knows what she's going to say.
5:42 As it turns out Stacy's mom has a troubled past as well. She's on record as once drinking a case of beer a day.
5:43 This is from the Sun-Times right? That's Buzz's paper of record. Stacy's mom is definitely not a looker. She looks a bit crazy actually.
5:44 How can a newsman such as Buzz have the Sun-TImes as his paper of record? It does have a nice photo of Bernard Berrian on the Bears Extra!
5:45 Buzz saw the entire game yesterday except the overtime. The TiVo ran out of recording time even though he set it for an extra hour. Buzz! Just to be on the safe side Steve recorded from 3:00 to about midnight yesterday.
5:46 You never know what's going to happen, there could be a power outage or something. Plus Eagles were on 60 Minutes although Steve didn't get to watch it.
5:47 The Eagles almost beat the Patriots yesterday. Steve was actually talking about the band but yeah the team almost beat the Patriots. They also had a bald eagle at the Bears game that was let go.
5:48 Steve couldn't really tell that it was an eagle, it could have been a hawk dressed as an eagle. They would have better off getting the eagle from the car insurance commercial.
5:49 For a time Mancow was appearing in those commercials as the eagle. That might be his only job now.
5:55 Where Steve sits to watch the Bears game they don't have Thayer and Joniak on which is bad. They have them on everywhere else like the elevators and in the concourse but in Steve's section they have TV's that don't sync up very well. They should get some Delay Plays next year.
5:56 Steve had a hard time listening to Dan Dierdorf yesterday, he couldn't have been more wrong about everything. Plus he says a lot of suggestive things like "getting it from behind is the way to get it."
5:57 Does Pete maybe have a montage prepared from yesterday? Pete's familiar with everything Steve said but he only grabbed one thing so far. Did Steve wake Pete up or something? Is the perculator not working?
5:58 During the game yesterday they were showing a camera angle from the end zone and Dierdorf said that's how they watched game film when he played, from behind and that's the way he likes it.
5:59 So Steve's going to suggest Delay Plays for next season. All of the TVs in the bathroom were on Fox too and the game was on CBS. Steve's calling for an overhaul of the entire AV set-up.
6:00 They really need to get TVs in the stalls, that's where you really want them. You never know how that Monsters of the Midway chili is going to hit you.
6:01 The TVs in Steve's section are still delayed by a few seconds and there are some people sitting in there watching them instead of what's happening on the field. So they're all reacting to stuff that's already happened.
6:02 Buzz needs to get a Delay Play for his house. He needs to get a lot of stuff. He needs to make sure he has more time on his TiVo recording. Was he at the movies or something?
6:03 Buzz saw The Mist yesterday. He still feels he watched more football than Steve did over the weekend, like the Michigan state high school football championship, recommended by Tom Thayer.
6:04 Did Buzz misunderstand Tom? Did he recommend the Illinois state championship?
6:05 Steve watched a lot of college football over the weekend. Buzz saw one of the most amazing games he's ever seen, Notre Dame/Stanford. Why is Buzz watching games that don't mean anything? Notre Dame didn't even lose which is the only reason he's watching.
6:06 Buzz was OK with ND winning because so many crazy things happened during the game. There was one of those crazy plays with six laterals, Jim Harbaugh was melting down and the refs committed robbery. Buzz expects them to be indicted today.
6:07 Headlines with Buzz
6:08 The fires in Malibu are about 75% contained but not before Flea lost his house. Several other celebrities have reported damage.
6:09 Steve needs to stop Buzz for just a second. At what point were Tom and Buzz talking about high school football? Do they have a private relationship Steve's not aware of? Tom mentioned it when he was on the show last Monday. That was definitely for the Illinois state championship, Joliet Catholic was in it.
6:10 Chicago news anchor John Drury has died of Lou Gehrig's disease. Steve knew John, he was a good guy.
6:11 Hulk Hogan's wife is divorcing him. He was quoted as saying "holy smokes" when he first heard about it.
6:12 Caller Tom heard Steve talking about Joliet Catholic, they were playing Lemont this weekend and won 49 to 7. That's probably what Tom wanted Buzz to watch. Buzz watched Livonia-Stevenson in the Michigan state championship, it was quite thrilling.
6:13 Tom is down in Joliet and we'll be talking to another Tom from Joliet at 7:00. As a resident of the Southwest suburbs, what search is Tom involved in, Stebic or Peterson?
6:14 The Stebic search got a little stale so Tom is now involved in the Peterson search. Everyone down there is searching.
6:15 This whole searching thing is weird. Eventually the person will turn up. Steve's never seen those searchers find anyone.
6:16 Even that group who was searching for Natalee Holloway didn't find her, then they came up here to look for Stacy. It's all just a bunch of do-gooders who want to be on TV.
6:21 People want to dispute Steve's claim that searchers never find anyone.
6:22 Caller Randy reminds Steve of Scott Peterson who offed his girlfriend or his wife. It was his wife but he had a girlfriend, Amber Fry. She made him the seafood lasagna he liked so much.
6:23 Randy says that people searched an area that Drew said he liked fishing at and they found Laci's body. Steve disagrees, her body just washed up. Someone came across the body but it wasn't part of an organized search party.
6:24 In April of 2003 Laci Peterson's body was found by a woman walking her dog. Laci's baby had been found nearby before that but Steve's not sure who found it.
6:25 Caller John reminds Steve about the search party that found the missing jogger on the Southside. Steve remembers that. They didn't have t-shirts though because it was only 2 days into the search.
6:26 That's why Steve doesn't jog by ponds, he doesn't want to see any floaters.
6:27 If Steve were some dork who joined a search party just to meet people he wouldn't tell anyone that he found something. He wouldn't want the hassle.
6:28 Alright, Stacy's mom...has got it going on. We'll have to play that song but it'll mess up poor little Todd's rotation.
6:29 Steve had the sheet of what is played before the show and Todd wrote little exhortations to the board ops. He'll have to find that.
6:30 Live read: Allen Brothers
6:31 This list Steve has is a bit too inside, like instructions on going from Brown Sugar to a Def Leppard song. It's a cold segue so they need to make it great. We sure to play a lot of Def Leppard on this station.
6:32 OK, Stacy's mom. Drew claims Stacy left him for another man. If that's true, where's the other man? that's what Steve wants to know!
6:33 This seems like a ridiculous concept in the Sun-Times but Steve has bought into it. Drew probably pulled up Stacy's mom's booking photo and figured he had to dump her.
6:34 9 years ago Stacy's mom Christine Cales abandoned her family after the accidental death of 2 of her children.
6:35 Both Stacy and her mom suffered from depression, married and had kids very young and complained of troubled marriages.
6:36 Going back to Laci Peterson for a second, the body of young Connor was found by hikers. So none of those search parties did any good.
6:37 Remember when Scott Peterson was involved in the fake searching? Didn't he go with a barrel or was that a rope and a weight? If you go barrel you probably won't find the person.
6:38 Stacy Peterson's family says there's a difference between her and her mother. Stacy loved being a mom and would never leave her kids.
6:39 Christine Cales spent time in a psychiatric hospital, admitted to drinking a case of beer a day and was convicted on many criminal charges including contributing to the neglect of a child.
6:40 Cales let son Yelton go outside in the cold without being dressed properly. Yelton? That doesn't sound white trash at all.
6:41 Four years into Cales marriage to her husband Anthony she filed charges against him saying he threatened her with a .357.
6:42 In December of 1983 the family's home in Downers Grove burned down and Cales 2-year old daughter died.
6:43 In 1987 the Cales' youngest child, Lacy, died from SIDS. So far Steve's not seeing anything funny in here.
6:44 There is still the thing about drinking a case of beer a day. If you're going to do that you should step it up to Whiskey or something.
6:45 In 1989 she plead guilty to stealing a bottle of vodka and three packs of cigarettes. The day after Christmas of that year she was arrested for stealing 2 cases of Old Style, a bottle of Bailey's and more cigarettes. Old Style, that's Buzz's beer!
6:46 In 1998 40-year old Christine Cales disappeared after telling family members she was on the way to a church in Blue Island. The family fears that she, like Stacy, is dead.
6:47 What's that got to do with Drew? Nuthin'! He didn't have to deal with a mother-in-law although she sounds fun.
6:53 Why would Drew go out looking for Stacy if he thinks she ran off with another man? And that's tough for him to say because he thinks he's such a stud.
6:54 What kind of guy meets a girl at Denny's? How about Max & Erma's? Or the Carillon, that's romantic. As you can imagine Drew's not very romantic.
6:55 Alright today's web poll question is "If you purchased Aquadots before the recall, what would you do with them?"
6:56 The Aquadots have been recalled but a Toys 'R' Us ad included in some newspapers advertised them.
6:57 If the stores don't have them what's the big deal? You can come in and ask for them but they won't have them.
6:58 It seems unfortunate that a toy would have the date rape drug on it. Buzz thinks there are a lot of people sitting on Aquadots.
6:59 They keep saying it's not GHB, but that Aquadots are coated with something that when swallowed metabolizes into GHB. So it's GHB? No, it's not.
7:00 Song: Stacy's Mom, Fountains of Wayne
7:03 There ya go, Stacy's mom has got it going on. That song couldn't be more appropriate and Steve's pretty sure it's part of the Jack format. At some point that doesn't really matter to Steve but it's nice when you can make everyone happy.
7:04 It will mess up Todd's song rotation which he's very into. Steve keeps hearing the same songs though, usually Fine Young Cannibals or Def Leppard.
7:05 Tom Thayer is on the phone. For as many mistakes as there were yesterday it was a great team effort when they really needed it.
7:06 A lot of fans left the stadium way before the game was over but Steve didn't go anywhere. A guy and his son left right in front of Steve and he told them they shouldn't go.
7:07 The Bears went down to the last play yesterday, really the last play. It was fantastic. Tom's wondering which return Steve enjoyed more.
7:08 Steve enjoyed Devin's first return because he gave the stiff arm and then hurdled Todd Sauerbrun but the second one was good too because Steve saw the seam before Devin went through it.
7:09 On that second return Devin actually sidestepped Sauerbrun. At that point Todd probably knew he couldn't get to him.
7:10 Steve was down on the field before the game and he got in Todd Sauerbrun's head a little bit. He'd like to take credit for being the 12th man.
7:11 Steve just wanted to add that Tom was on fire yesterday. He called Jeff Cranberry. That was after Jeff called someone on the Broncos "little".
7:12 Todd Sauerbrun actually waved over to the Bears bench after he fell down and was hurdled by Hester. He's still a Bear at heart.
7:13 Buzz can't believe the Broncos kicked to Hester after his first return. That's just the ego of the head coach, he didn't think Hester would do it again. Hester was having some trouble holding on to the ball too.
7:14 Steve was very satisfied when the game started getting better and all of those guys had left. At least they got to listen to Tom and Jeff on the way home.
7:15 Jeff Garlin was up in Steve's area and he left when the team was down by 14. He got free tickets too! He'll be in on Wednesday, Steve and Buzz will have to give him some cheese for that.
7:16 That game was just fun to watch. Steve doesn't even care about playoff hopes or anything. He knew things were really turning around when Peterson and the offensive line got in for that touchdown.
7:17 Steve likes Adrian Peterson, he thinks good things are going to happen with him.
7:18 Steve thought another turning point in the game was when Urlacher kicked the football after that Denver touchdown and sort of shrugged off the penalty. 'Lacher even threw down full sentences to Zach Zaidman after the game.
7:19 Steve thought that the interception Rex threw could have been pass interference.
7:20 Does Tom know that Buzz claims he was told to watch Michigan high school football?
7:21 Buzz didn't claim anything! He was watching Miami getting killed when he remembered that Tom said something about a high school football championship.
7:22 So Buzz checked his TV guide and found a high school football game. Only after he'd become engrossed in the game did he realize it was Michigan and not Illinois. So Buzz can do some scouting for Notre Dame if Tom needs it.
7:23 Joliet Catholic did win over the weekend, they beat Lemont. Tom watched a lot of the high school games over the weekend and it was fun.
7:24 Tom remembers playing in the state championship game in high school, it was the first time any of them had been on Astroturf. It was like that scene in Hoosiers when Gene Hackman measured the court for all of the players.
7:25 The Giants lost yesterday, they've lost 2 of their last 3. Eli Manning had a horrible game, in front of his brother, and they've got a lot of injuries so the game this Sunday should be interesting.
7:31 Tom was en fuego yesterday. He doesn't like when Jeff says that he always ends up talking about Tom when he's on the show. Steve tries to talk football with Jeff but he gets distracted.
7:32 There wasn't much to say about yesterday's game anyway. Vasher's still out with his groin injury. He might need a groinectomy.
7:33 Tom has seen guys with groin injuries and they really have to be at 100% before they come back. Reaggravating it just makes things worse and it could be a nagging injury that lasts for over a year.
7:34 Is Tom friends with Adam Archuleta? Because he sucks. Steve just has to say that out loud. Steve doesn't want to put Tom on the spot but he just had to say that during the football segment.
7:35 He was great in St. Louis but not so great in Washington. It doesn't seem to be working out here either.
7:36 This weekend should give Steve more time to evaluate Archuleta as he matches up against Jeremy Shockey and Plaxico Burress. Steve would rather see Brandon McGowan.
7:37 Peanut Tillman on the other hand, he's good. Steve knew he was going to block that punt.
7:38 He did sort of mess up that one punt where Dave Toub had the 4 guys drop back to protect Hester.
7:39 The ball always has to get to Hester, that's just how it's going to be. He did bat down that one ball but you take the good with the bad. The good far outweighs the bad though.
7:40 Steve thought it was cool that Brendan Ayanbadejo made Dave Toub talk to reporters before him. He seems like a good guy to have on your team.
7:41 Tom got a little frustrated with Brendan over the weekend because there was an article in the paper about his contract negotiations. You really don't need to hear that at this time. Buzz is in the middle of a very heated, bitter negotiation here and you don't hear about that.
7:42 It seems like we've covered just about everything today. Interesting Monday Night game tonight, Pittsburgh and Miami. Steve would really like to see the Dolphins go winless.
7:43 Steve likes Rex's new attitude too, he's a gunslinger. As he's said he has nothing left to lose.
7:44 Steve's looking forward to the game this Thursday, Green Bay at Dallas. A lot of people are bitching that they don't have the NFL Network. Who doesn't have that? Tom just got it recently. Would Steve like to come over on Thursday and watch the game?
7:45 Buzz noticed in all the post-game stuff yesterday that "ridiculous" was all over the place. Jeff Joniak better do something to tie that thing up. Right now he's doing ads for Schaumburg Toyota.
7:52 Steve finally figured out why they call the day after Thanksgiving Black Friday. The retailers could go into the black if a lot of people go shopping. Steve thought they called it Black Friday because it was so horrendous.
7:53 Live read: The Little Guys
7:54 Steve has Drew Peterson's fiance on the Today's Show all cued up and ready to go. She came on when Tom Thayer was on. The Bears take precedence over everything, especially with a game like that.
7:55 During one of the college games over the weekend Buzz saw a catch exactly like Berrian's yesterday and the refs didn't give it to the receiver.
7:56 There would have been a riot at Soldier Field if that call would have been overturned.
7:57 There was a guy in front of Steve that was completely nude at some point during the game. By the time security got there his underpants were back on. He also had his belt around his nipples.
7:58 Caller Maria was wondering how her and her sister could get an invite to Steve and Tom's sleepover on Thursday.
7:59 Marie will have to talk to Tom about that, everything goes through him. What's Maria's sister's name?
8:00 Brendan should make sure he forwards Maria's info to Tom on his iPhone. That's why he got the iPhone, you can't work chicks without one in the digital age.
8:01 Live read: Townstone Financial
8:02 It's good to see Jesse Jackson is getting involved in the whole sub-prime mortgage thing. He's against it.
8:03 Jesse's blaming the banks and Wall Street for the whole thing. He's using the example of some guy who was swindled by someone who he hired to replace his windows.
8:04 The guy replaced the windows but then he also managed to forge his name on some other stuff and the guy ended up losing his house. That's not really Wall Street's fault or the banks fault.
8:05 That's a crime anyway, get the authorities involved! You really should go with a more well-known window company, maybe Jeld-Wen or that one where the guy's always smiling in the commercials.
8:06 OK, on to Drew Peterson's fiance, the one that got away as Steve calls her. She was on the Today's Show today.
8:07 Meredith Viera is looking pretty hot in those black boots. Next time Drew Peterson is on the show he's going to demand to be interviewed by her.
8:08 Kyle Piry was engaged to Drew Peterson but broke it off. Why is she telling this to the Today's Show, save it for the grand jury.
8:09 It does make Drew look better because it shows that he has a history of hot broads. Kyle's also a Parrothead, they went to a lot of Buffett shows together.
8:10 They're showing some b-roll of Drew coming out of his house and getting into a rental car. All of his other cars were impounded.
8:11 His pants look pretty loose-fitting, he might need to get to Gap and buy something tighter that shows off his package.
8:12 Drew has lost 30 pounds throughout this ordeal. Really 130 pounds if you count Stacy.
8:18 Buzz was wondering what that drop was from, he's never heard anyone say Drew Peterson was a leg man. That was actually from Scrubs, which Pete loves because it's not successful.
8:19 There are some similarities though but didn't Steve ban Scrubs? Steve might have banned it but then again it ties in. Steve's lifting the ban for the time being.
8:20 Steve hates Scrubs anyway, plus it's confusing Buzz. It also sounds like Steve ripped off Scrubs with the Parrothead stuff even though he's never heard that.
8:21 Live read: Jacob Ruth
8:22 Steve's already sick of holiday shopping, he's had several near-misses with people.
8:23 This is Cyber Monday where everyone goes Christmas shopping online.
8:24 Then they have some fake figure about how much the lost productivity of online shopping costs employers. It's not that hard to online shop and do your work.
8:25 Jeff Schwartz brought this client in and he's trying to make it uber-complicated.
8:26 Jeff can't do anything without a contest. Jacob Ruth has a great website, Steve met some people from there and they're good guys, but Jeff has to have a contest.
8:27 OK back to the Today's Show and Drew Peterson's ex-fiance. Now that she's putting it all together she remembers some warning signs and thinks it's important to put it out there.
8:28 Maybe she should have told Stacy about the warning signs.
8:29 One example Piry uses is when she went to a family funeral, without Drew, where she saw an ex-boyfriend.
8:30 Drew interrogated her, asking how much time she spent with her ex-boyfriend.
8:31 If Piry went out with friends Peterson would follow her. Maybe she shouldn't have worn the high-heels and the skirts! How does that make a police officer look?!
8:32 This is really nothing, it shouldn't even be on TV. It's just boyfriend/girlfriend crap, Drew didn't even lay a hand on her.
8:33 This is why Drew didn't want to make her Mrs. Peterson #2, or is it #3? He did nothing but love her and maybe interrogate her.
8:34 He only interrogated her because he didn't want to be cuckolded. Any man would do that.
8:35 Piry also said that Peterson liked to know where she was and where she was going which is something Stacy's family has said.
8:36 So what, Drew liked to keep tabs on his broads?! Like Buzz doesn't know where Aimee is at this exact moment.
8:37 After they broke up Peterson often followed Piry around on weekend nights, sometimes pulling her over for frivolous things like having bald tires on her car.
8:38 Bald tires, he's just looking out for her! There's some hilliness to the Bolingbrook area, he's just looking out for her.
8:39 Piry also claims Drew attacked her at her house once. He bent her over the cocktail table and then pinned down her arms.
8:40 Some people might call that sex but she's calling it an attack.
8:41 Why didn't Drew get to talk to this Meredith Viera broad? He would have had her eating out of his hand. She seems very serious but Drew would have melted right through that ice cube.
8:42 They're showing the Parrothead shirt, with Stacy, on the Today's Show now. He seems at his happiest when he was with Stacy. They're in the backyard, with some coals in the background, maybe getting ready to grill.
8:43 You can also see the cable junction box behind him, he's got all the rooms wired with cable. Drew was probably mad at the cable company for putting the junction box right on the house, it doesn't make the yard look good. As a Parrothead you want to keep your yard looking good, that's your Margaritaville.
8:50 Who was interviewing Drew Peterson in that drop? Pete couldn't see her face, it was just Drew on the driveway talking to a bunch of reporters.
8:51 Steve's noticed that Drew likes to talk to the female reporters. Has anyone seen him in People? That should be in GQ!
8:52 That photo shows the many sides of Drew Peterson. He's a man about town, he's got a deck, he's got a nice play area for the kids and he's got a lawn flamingo because he's a Parrothead.
8:53 He's also got the nice suit on and he trimmed his mustache up nicely. He's giving the mean police officer look too.
8:54 There's a nice photo of Kathleen before she dyed her hair and Stacy. You might notice that they look very similar.
8:55 Drew's right there on the cover, he's more important than Kanye West, Trisha Yearwood or Celine Dion's new son who looks like a girl.
8:56 We haven't read the People article yet and we've got Pat Boyle coming up.
8:57 Every morning at 3:45 AM generators fire up outside Drew's house in Bolingbrook, Ill. Don't they know it's just IL? It's like that for every state, just 2 letters.
8:58 This seems like a good time for Drew Peterson to take a vacation but he might not be able to leave the jurisdiction.
8:59 Should Steve read this as himself or Drew Peterson? Buzz would like to hear from Steve on this one. You don't want too much Drew Peterson. Even a little bit can be overpowering, just look at all the broads he's met.
9:00 Peterson gave People a 2 hour interview last weekend and he insisted he didn't kill Savio and he doesn't know where Stacy is but he hopes she's alive.
9:01 Peterson seemed relaxed during the interview even though his wife could be dead and his third wife could have been brutally murdered.
9:02 A lot of this interview is stuff we already know but Drew had to tell the story again to get the rest of the country up-to-date.
9:03 Craig Stebic's probably mad at Drew Peterson for taking all the attention away from him. Drew's probably mad at Craig because there's no Amy Jacobson any more. Drew has an above-ground pool too!
9:04 Drew says he expected all of his wives to be like his mom, meticulous housekeepers. They weren't though. If Drew gets up to take a leak in the morning he expects to have the bed made when he gets back.
9:05 Pat Boyle is on the phone. That's a tough transition Steve has to make. Pat's sitting in his office watching all the coverage of the Bears win.
9:06 Steve said hi to Pat and Dan Jiggetts yesterday after the game but he was ignored by Jerry Azumah and Jarrett Payton. Pat thought they had a good crowd but Steve thought it was just 5 drunks walking back and forth.
9:07 What does a Pat Boyle want, logistically, from a Post Game Live when they're at Soldier Field? Does he want people walking behind them?
9:08 Pat likes a crowd if they're at Soldier Field. Steve's suggestion is to flip it around and have the guys with their backs to the wall then some speakers in the crowd and a camera on them.
9:09 They did a great show though but Steve was just thinking, as he was standing there, that they don't deserve to have 10 drunk guys standing behind them trying to get on TV.
9:10 Hopefully next year they'll get to do all the Post Game Live shows at Soldier Field. They have one more this year for the Packers game.
9:11 Steve got sucked in after yesterday's win, what else does he have to do? Pat was sucked in at first but then he got home and started thinking about everything that happened.
9:12 Without Devin Hester the Bears aren't even in that game yesterday. It's so easy for the other team to take him out of the equation too.
9:13 Steve's just taking the Bears one game at a time which is what Pat should do. There's still a slim chance that the Bears could make the playoffs.
9:14 Pat can't remember the last time that a Bears player brought this much excitement to a game. Walter Payton certainly had his moments but every time Devin Hester touches the ball everyone stops to see what he's going to do. Steve had to abort a chili run yesterday to watch him.
9:15 That was when they had to re-kick the ball and it occurred to Steve that he hadn't had his lucky chili yet. He quickly got some and then good stuff started happening.
9:16 Buzz is wondering if Devin Hester has offered any explanation for why he batted the ball early in the game.
9:17 Devin hasn't been kicked too as much this season so he might start overthinking a little bit when the ball actually comes to him.
9:18 Buzz has noticed that he seems completely unfazed by what he's done or what he could do or what's going on around him.
9:19 Hester had a sweet Louis Vuitton knit cap on for the post-game interviews. Steve liked how Rex Grossman knew he wouldn't win Jerry's GQ but put it out there anyway.
9:20 Jarrett Payton did a good job yesterday, he looks a lot older than Steve thought he was. He's only a few years older than Devin Hester.
9:21 There are some guys in the NFL who get to start just because of where they were drafted. Jarrett Payton fell victim to that in Tennessee and now he's playing in Montreal.
9:22 With Cedric Benson likely out for the season we'll get to see what Adrian Peterson can do.
9:30 The coolest part of yesterday for Buzz was when Devin Hester jumped over Todd Sauerbrun. On his second return he just sidestepped him.
9:31 Was it wrong for Steve to talk to Pat Boyle about the crowd behind the stage for Post Game Live? They did a great job but there were 10 drunk knuckleheads behind them. Steve talked to all 10 of them and they were fans but they were all drunk.
9:32 OK, Sean Taylor of the Redskins was shot this morning in his home in Miami and is in surgery right now. If he's on the Redskins what was he doing in Miami?
9:33 Brendan says he went to The U and he goes home after games. He's injured too, did they shoot him in his bad leg?
9:34 The article says he lost a lot of blood and is fighting for his life. He was actually shot in the groin which is not the leg.

9:38 Caller John was wondering when Steve and Buzz were going to sew up the TV and book deals for Drew Peterson.
9:39 Steve doesn't want to get anywhere near that guy. John has enjoyed Steve's coverage of Drew Peterson because the whole thing is ridiculous.
9:40 OK back to the People article. Drew wanted his wives to be meticulous housekeepers and they weren't. And they paid the price, such as it is.
9:41 Peterson and his first wife divorced after 6 years when she discovered he cheated on her. He takes full responsibility for that.
9:42 Two years later, in 1982 he met Vicki Connolly and they were married a few months later, raising each other's kids.
9:43 After they divorced in 1992 Drew met Kathleen Savio on a blind date. The relationship started off romantic but turned violent after Savio had two kids.
9:50 OK back to the People article. Peterson admits that he was married when he met Stacy, who was 17 and working as a hotel desk clerk.
9:51 Peterson was 47 at the time and thought Stacy was older than 17. He was shocked to learn the truth but he was also a lonely old man. Even though he was married at the time.
9:52 Peterson's affair with Stacy ended his marriage to Savio as you can imagine. In 2004 Peterson became concerned after he hadn't heard from Savio in 24 hours.
9:53 He had to wait for a locksmith to let him into the house. He didn't have a key? Steve would have a key if it was him.
9:54 When Savio's body was discovered Peterson checked her pulse, trembling, and then asked what he'd tell the children.
9:55 Savio's death was ruled an accident at the time but pathologist Michael Baden concluded that it wasn't after he body was recently exhumed.
9:56 It seems like most of this article is stuff we know already but we can keep reading tomorrow.
9:57 We read the stuff about Stacy's siblings dying young in the Sun-Times today.
9:58 Drew says she wanted someone to take care of her and he gave her everything she needed or wanted including breast implants, a tummy tuck, and braces. Braces sound like something a 17-year old would want.
9:59 Peterson says Stacy's mood changed after her sister died. She went on mood-altering drugs and had wild mood swings.
