he couldn’t remember how it happened. What??? Every player knows how they got hurt, but not Jay. When he was asked about it by reporters after the game, he said he was hit on the outside of his leg and couldn’t plant his foot after that (his back foot, the one he’s not supposed to throw with.)

But I’m glad that the entire league is now finally starting to realize who the real Jay Cutler is.

even if he was hurt, there have been others that have played with worse. is what it is.

It is telling when other current or former players tweet what they did yesterday, especially this quote from Derrick Brooks:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Derrick Brooks, a future Hall of Famer, tweeted, "I have to be crawling and can’t get up to come off the field. Josh Freeman would not come out. Meds are available … " A few minutes later when the Bears sent their third-stringer, Caleb Hanie, in to the game and Cutler was therefore ineligible to return, Brooks tweeted, “There is no medicine for a guy with no guts and heart.”

Jay may have been hurt – I guess we’ll all know the severity after he has his MRI today. But if we find out it was not severe and he could’ve returned to the game after getting his knee wrapped and gotten a shot for the pain, he will have hell to pay in Chicago.

The reason I posted this is because of the following:

A lineman who played more than a dozen years and won multiple Super Bowls told me after the game that he was stunned Cutler was standing on the sideline, not on crutches, receiving no treatment while his team played on. And, the player said, what made it worse was that Cutler didn’t appear to be counseling his backup, Todd Collins, or Hanie.

Even if Jay was legitimately hurt, he showed his true colors isolating himself on the bench for the entire 2nd half of that championship game. That was his highest accomplishment in the NFL to date, and that was how he contributed to his team. This is a huge issue and all of the nasty tweets from other players yesterday were living proof of what must be felt in the Bears’ locker room, away from the media.

Maurkice Pouncey was on crutches rooting his team on in Pittsburgh hours later. And he is a center, not the quarterback – the guy who is supposed to be the leader of your team.

The bottom line is, for all of the smack-talk from Bears fans about Chicago winning in the Cutler trade, it’s stuff like this that refutes the idea that anyone has won yet.

You can’t play. Plus Tebow’s “broken leg” was very minor, don’t make it sound huge, it was a minor fracture. I’m not saying it wasn’t tough, it was, very tough. Lots of players play with injuries, Orton, Rivers, Tebow, but a player can’t come into a game if the staff won’t let him, no matter how much he wants to.

every bit of what he got yesterday. as i said, karma is a bit**.
