NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - Off Season

[-Jrabbit]

San Diego politely declines. But they are happy you asked.

Woody Paige is an idiot. Another one who is criticizing Cutler for not playing in second half (and that's after they've announced the MCL tear.
.

[Al B. Sure!]

Philip Rivers played in the AFC Championship game a few years back with a torn ACL! Jay Cutler is a *****

In Cutler's defense, have we all forgotten that the man has Diabetes?! He plays hard with Diabetes, people!


And completely random but I've learned that there is a bodybuilder named Jay Cutler who judging from the google search is more famous than the quarterback.

Chicago fans would be mad if they won the superbowl at this point. Chicago fans are slightly less awful than philly fans in that they wont physically assault their players with batteries.

Hey that was the 1960's!

The players that Phillies fans have thrown batteries at since then were players from OTHER teams! Guys like J.D. Drew were never players on the Phillies when they had batteries thrown at them!

Philly hasn't had class since 1776

You act like the Philly attitude isn't or shouldn't be carried like a badge of honor around here.

But the sports franchises definitely do foster it. Look at the Flyers, for example.

It goes beyond sports though. We're like New Yorkers but with a chip on our shoulders.

It's really sad that an entire city can revel and celebrate character flaws like being a completely boorish *******.

Hey look at it as one big ironic joke on William Penn for naming the city "Brotherly Love"

Bears' Jay Cutler has knee sprain

http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/news/story?id=6054047

[-Jrabbit]

I am appalled at the play this injury has gotten in the media. The guy has a torn MCL (Grade II) and was pulled from the game by Bears medical staff over Cutler's objections. Hey took a painkiller at halftime and went out to start the 3rd quarter.

The idiots in the media -- and the meatball/idiot portion of the Bears fan base -- are calling him a quitter when the exact opposite is true. Even the normally reasonable Jason Whitlock wrote a column today calling him a quitter. And of course the 20-30% of fans - the meatball fan segment - are pissed at how the game went, so they jump right on the hater bandwagon.

Hey, I'm all over criticizing the Bears' performance yesterday -- including Cutler, who sucked.

But this frenzy to suggest Cutler was jaking it when all facts are clearly to the contrary is ludicrous. People were questioning his effort and toughness even before the game was over. Then it got escalated even more before the facts were in. Fox Sports was espacially brain-dead, as they were right there in the stadium and couldn't be bothered to cover the biggest story in the very game they were broadcasting.

I'm especially appalled at all the players who threw him under the bus. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Phil Simms. And you, Neon Deion. And Michael Irvin. And Derrick Brooks. And Mark Schlereth. You say they're all media? That just makes it even more irresponsible.

How about current players Maurice Jones-Drew, Kirk Morrison, Darnell Dockett, Bruce Gradkowski and Gerald Alexander. They ran their mouths, too. Nice to know the union is so strong.

Granted, most of these people are just trying to pump up their own macho image by saying "they'd have to drag me off on a stretcher to get me out of a playoff game." Self-serving a$$holes who throw a fellow player under the bus to feed their own egos and curry favor with their Twit followers, and all before the facts are in.

I'm pretty disgusted by this whole thing.

The game was bad enough. The Bears were out-played and out-coached. But this Cutler dogpile is patently unfair and can't be undone. I realize that's the danger of our insta-twit culture, but it's hard to watch it happen.

What he said...

[Tuberski]

Someone needs to start a "Jay Cutler Rules" Facebook page.

ACK!

[Imran Siddiqui]

I'll give Mark Schlereth a break though. He was a Guard. Offensive Linemen really do play with ridiculous injuries (part of it being that the perception of easy replaceability and low salaries means you play through just about anything so you don't get replaced. And apparently his knee is beat to utter and complete crap (13 knee surgeries).

[Tuberski]

All that says is that Schlereth is an idiot for playing hurt.

I like the ass kicking Mentos spider.

ACK!
