Just thinking out loud but the probable starting lineup for the Eastern Conference all star team is just absurd as far as talent and athleticism are concerned.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 08:22 PM) Rivers is a first class prick. I've never seen him called a class guy before. That's the first time I've ever heard Rivers or Cutler called classy before. They're both known to be complete assholes.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 07:04 PM) Wasn't he already in a similar situation, and came out of the game? Ha, that was my initial thought when I heard the interview. The NFL is full of hypocrites apparently.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 07:55 PM) That's what would have bothered me most if I were a Bears fan. The guy was walking around with no discernible limp and didn't look like he was in any pain. If he was told that they were going with the backup I would have wanted to see him go nuts on the sideline telling Lovie that there's no way he's sitting this one out. So now we're mad at Jay because he didn't put on a show?

Don't even care what MJD said today. He's honestly one of the my favorite players to watch play but this is a guy who sat out the last 2 games when Jacksonville was in the middle of the playoff race so that makes him a bigger p**** than Jay, right? Pot meet kettle.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 09:07 AM) According to Scott Gregor, Daily Herald White Sox beat writer, his inside sources say Chris Sale is a lock to be the White Sox closer in 2011. Beautiful!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 07:19 PM) The NFC West is laughing at you. Ya, the central is bad but at least it has 1 really good team in the Bulls. The NFC West is just plain garbage.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 05:19 PM) Why can't it be, the Bears just got beat by a better team? When it comes down to it, this is exactly what happened. People are just frustrated because as bad as the Bears offense played, the game was really there for the taking against a better team and they still managed to screw some things up to lose it.

Found in Chesterfield, Missouri. Pretty cool.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 03:46 PM) Secondly, a torn ACL is far, far worse than a torn MCL, is it not? No clue to be honest. And I really wasn't directing that comment toward you, I've just seen people use Rivers as an example because he played through it in the AFC championship that year. People seem to forget the fact that he came out of the game when the injury actually occurred.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 03:44 PM) No kidding, f***ing Lisa Turtle won a dance contest with a sprain.....doing the sprain If only Screech could have been there to hold Jay's left leg while he was playing!

Are we also just going to overlook the part about Rivers coming out of the game where he actually got that injury?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 03:23 PM) Link Good stuff.

Cheering for the Steelers so I can win my playoff pool and some money!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 02:30 PM) There was definitely one shot of Hanie sitting next to Cutler with a book of photos in Hanie's hands. Yes. Thank you.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 02:21 PM) Well the Bears HAVE to cover for him, that's why I was shocked Lovie used the "sprained" verbage in his presser, you have to make this sound as bad as possible without being dishonest. Bashing him for not being tough is misguided. Questioning it while acting like adults, especially based on what we know now, is fair IMO. I think a lot of the Bears fans being critical of Jay for this before we knew were simply frusterated at losing a Super Bowl spot to the Packers, which is going to happen. But we know a bit more now, so people can look at the situation based on that. Like you've already mentioned yourself, his track record speaks for itself.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 02:18 PM) I thought Hanie credited Cutler with helping him keep his nerves in check? He did. There was also one point where they did show those two going over plays together on the sidelines but people seem to forget that for some reason.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 02:13 PM) Why is it unfair to criticize a player in your eyes, Slav? It's fine to criticize players and Cutler certainly deserves a ton of it but bashing him for not being tough is ridiculously misguided and to be honest, it's just plain stupid.

I find it hilarious that some people are still trying to call Cutler a p****. There's so damn much to criticize with this guy but this isn't one of them, yeesh.

I was also pretty damn surprised to see that GB is favored. I think it's going to be a terrific game but I thought for sure that Pitt would be favored.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 12:19 PM) in the end...cutler brought alot of this on himself. His attitude with media and public image doesn't do him any favors. Instead of giving the guy the benefit of the doubt, people look for a reason to be able to rip him, fair or unfair (and clearly i think its unfair in this situation). Nobody would ever question Derek Jeters toughness if he came out of a game in the ALCS. Cutler has created this brash, difficult to like personality in the media, and at every opportunity to be able to rip him, people will. Same thing is happening with lebron. Its a shame because the guy really has such huge potential. People just don't like him, that's the whole reason that this has become such a huge story.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 12:18 PM) No, that was just a terrible pass by Cutler. He was playing a terrible game before he got hurt, no doubt. That's actually kind of getting lost in this whole injury controversy.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 12:19 AM) I dont think anyone at SIU or ISU really cares that much this season to be bothered by it, at least I dont and Im going to SIU lol. Bothers the f*** out of me. I predicted a loss yesterday cause this team is very well..predictable but it's still extremely frustrating. It's a sad reality that our goal is to avoid Thursday for the MVC tournament but that's what life has become as a SIU fan and this loss hurts our chances of doing so.

Seriously, the one thing people should know not to question about Cutler is his toughness. There's a lot of things you can b**** about when it comes to Jay but he's a tough SOB.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 08:40 PM) There is a reason I wanted Mike Miller badly after the Big Three signed. If he were our SG instead of being in Miami, we'd be best in the East. Think this is the first decent game he's had since he's been back.
