The long-running feud between prominent NFL insiders Adam Schefter and Mike Florio carried over to Christmas Day.

On Wednesday, Adam Schefter reported that former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has interest in returning to the NFL coaching ranks, and that the Chicago Bears are on his radar.
