The Jay Cutler Saga by the other Mike

One thing was evident during the Bears' Sunday Night meltdown versus the Packers: Jay Cutler was not playing up to even a blind man's par. As some wise chinese men would say, he no bring haaa-naaa tuu his ffaaa-mmii-reee.  He could be seen standing, walking, and barely wincing at his so called "blown knee"; the AP is even reporting news of Cutler walking a huge set of stairs THAT VERY NIGHT, and going out to dinner with friends after the game (which is only funny because the storm of negative press towards him made me assume that no one wanted to associate with the man).  One thing is for sure though, this type of attitude and levity with which Cutler has towards the NFC Championship game is unacceptable. It's the freaking playoffs, if your knee hurts you suck it up and play through it.  Players play through broken bones and blown knees all the time--and you can't even suck up a minor sprain...comon' man

Word from Cutler's camp has been absent, neither defending nor apologizing for his sudden inability to play.  However, I think the reason they are so silent is because (as radical as this may seem) he just quit and his camp knows it.  Watching the second-half meltdown (although it wasn't much different from the Bear's first half performance) was startling.  After Cutler went 3-and-out a definitely unprepared and gimp Todd Collins took the field, what a joke.  Honestly, this guy looked like a sixty year old on viagra, he was too stiff and needed to get checked out.

But I digress...Jay Culter, you should formally apologize to your team, coaches, and all of Bears nation--they deserve better from you.
