Preparing for his first Divisional Round game as a head coach since 1997 hasn’t made Pete Carroll too uptight.

During Wednesday’s session with the media, a reporter’s phone started buzzing on Carroll’s podium. (Someone must have a phone/recorder.)

Carroll decided to pick up the phone, and hilarity ensued.

The mood surrounding the Seattle-Bears is positively jovial compared to the hate flowing with Patriots-Jets and Ravens-Steelers.

The best manufactured revenge angle we can come up with: Chicago’s revenge on Jeremy Bates!
