America Hates Guys Who Don’t Play Hurt
So let me get this straight. Basically the entire country hates Jay Cutler more than both Ben Roethlisberger (guy who has raped 2 women) and Michael Vick (guy who murdered dogs for fun). That makes sense. I mean he did sit out the second half of the NFC Championship with an MCL injury and is surely to the media. Umm what planet am I on? I thought only Bill Belichick could galvanize an entire country against him like this. I mean I don’t particularly like Jay Cutler, but as a human being I’ll take him over the convicted felon and the guy who assaults chicks every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I swear just when you think you have America figured out you don’t. You can basically kill a guy and nobody cares, but god forbid you don’t play hurt. Then all bets are off.
good point
You should be happy- this proves that the pussification of america isn’t as real a threat as you think
America has no attention span. Wait, what was I just saying?
So theres 85,000 total votes and Alaska and Utah cant get 1 person to vote? Is that what that says?
This country is f’in whacked. The media turns the Michael Vick story from a convicted felon to the feel good story of the year and they pepper Roethlisberger with questions that portray HIM as a victim. . .”Ben what is it like to be going to the Super Bowl after everything you’ve struggled with this season?!?!?” Are you fuckin’ kidding me?!?! How about you go ask his victims what’s it’s like to see an asshole like Ben heading to the Super Bowl when he should be doing time in the clink. . .this country has completely lost it’s moral bearings.
Cutler is a douche. Im not saying hes any worse than a rapist or dog killer but he is a douche
Blog grade: C
People also remember how he bitched and whined his way out of Denver and said he would only go to either Chicago or Tennessee. I know Eli Manning did the same thing, but lots of people dislike AJ Smith. Early on know one knew how much of a douche Josh McDaniels was gonna be. As with Cutler, he definitely looked like a jackass demanding his way out of Denver and then leading the league in INTs his first year in Chicago.
The whole playing hurt thing just goes along with people’s perception that he is a frat boy in a grown up world who didn’t wanna play in the cold against guys like Clay Matthews, Charles Woodson and AJ Hawk. The fact that the ‘selective’ camera work during the game showed him not helping the backup QBs, not getting treatment from trainers and able to stand without supports screams “I got a boo-boo!” More than “I am seriously injured and though I can stand here, I cannot play better than Doug Collins.”
As much as you hate Favre, Rivers and Big Ben people will never fault a QB for hobbling around the field, it brings back memories of Kirk Gibson winning the game tho he couldn’t walk to the batter’s box.
It was funny when Peyton Manning threw Jay Cutler’s diabetes monitor into the pool a few years back.
yet another example that proves Massachusetts is smarter than everyone else
Why the fuck did our president waste his time to comment on Vick a few weeks back? Does Obama need to comment on every black high profile athlete? Vick is an asshole, a complete ghetto scumbag piece of shit.
Ben is just a fucking piece of human garbage. Typical redneck meathead asshole. I hope the Super Bowl is full of women’s rights group protesting him. I hope he gets bombarded with rape questions during the media days. I hope the Packers break his fucking dick and crush his genitals to mashed potatoes.
Needless to say, I fucking hate Ben.
I’m confused. Cutler “is surely to the media,” yet Pres uses “galvanize” properly.
remember the time when the head coach of the patriots taped others practices and the entire patriots fan base acted like it didnt happen? Just like the entire boston celtics fan base that is today, were michael jordan fans in the nineties? i doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Retarded. Vick should have been executed.
was that sports post from el pres? holy shit
Ward,
It’s called a grammatical error and is similar to using “uses” when the proper tense would have been “used”. I am done defending Prez, but I hate when people resort to pointing out grammatical errors like a 3′rd grade teacher.
RJJ,
Remember the time when “illegally coaching other team’s practices” was a felony? Me neither.
RJJ, remember when idiots insisted on harping on a practice that 95% of the teams do? Remember how the Patriots only got caught because their ex-coach (who no doubt condoned the practice in NE) told officials exactly how to catch the Patriots red handed?
Kots you have to admit it’s funny that a guy who writes for a living can’t spell. It would be like having a gardener that can’t use a lawnmower, how do you not laugh every time.
God forbid you dont make money off Big Ben selling those horrendous shirts Pres
As for this post, we have to accept that 95% of these guys are total douches. I went to a college with an FCS program and those guys thought they were gods…imagine the NFL idiots. Even the “good guys” are douches, just not douches on the felony level. I don’t know how people get outraged at any of their behavior, to root for players means to root for assholes, no two ways about it.
Vick, then Cutler. Why do people hate big Ben?
Cutler was a fucken dick before this. Here is a great article on him:

Wildman,
I’ve resigned myself to the fact that bloggers don’t use editors. And, I’d rather see people criticize the substance of the blog than litter the comments with editorial missives. Some of the shit is funny though – like when KFC mispelled “sucks ass” when he said the Jets are “awesome”.
He violated the social contract he made with us. The deal is you get to be an NFL quarterback and make millions of dollars and in return you don’t leave the field unless you’re paralyzed or dead. Fucking coward.
RJJ, if youre gonna say dumb shit at least have it right you dumb cunt. BB never taped practices, it was the hand signals of the coaches DURING the game
laxbro,
I’m confused. Can you leave the field when the game is over?
Wow, kots on a dickhead rampage today. I’ve never even heard of this guy before, and up he pops to yell at people.
No computers in Utah or Alaska?
Fucking snow is pissing me off, Ward.
I get that they are good players, but it’s so stupid the way the media hypes Vick and Ben, “look at the amazing triumph over adversity!”
You mean the adversity they themselves entitrely created? The adversity that they rightly had to deal with because they were commiting crimes?
I don’t understand people, it’s certainly not like these media outlets or writers would hire people for there businesses if they had been convicted of similar crimes. Would you let Vick dog-sit your pet? Would you like it if Big Ben took your daughter/sister/mother out? Right…
*their businesses
before the spelling gestapo gets wind of that one
Dick Whiskey is dead on. If these guys couldn’t make rich people richer they wouldn’t be hired at McDonalds.
who cares about dogs? roethlisberger raped a human being. cutler is just a pussy.
Pretty sure Brady walked off the field all fucked up. And rumor has it Drew Brees played the entire 2010 season with a MCL sprain. Cutler is a pussy! or maybe his blood sugar was too low.
I don’t understand the degree of hatred directed towards Vick. The guy already did time for a crime that no one goes to jail for. What else do you want ?
Cutler might be a pussy, but he is not a convicted felon (once a fucking felon always a felon, period). Funny how everyone judges people on the “latest” problem and not the worst. Hell, if Hitler was part of that, he would of even hit 5%. People are that fucked up that they only care about right now.
Connie,
I thnk what we want (at least me) is to not see him glorified as a success story. Tell me about people who overcome adversity that wasn’t brought on by themselves and I’ll cheer alongside everyone else. But don’t sell me some bullshit about a grown man overcoming adversity when he brought it on himself by electrocuting and murdering dogs. Is that too much too ask?
I guess I will be the only person to point out that the international community (lower left hand side) hates Jay Cutler as well. But yeah fuck america totally place sucks
I think cutler just got benched. . . really. And no one thinks of it.
So the same people who TWICE voted for Bush, fucked up while rating QB’s.
wow, there’s a shocker
Vick is a piece of shit, just like anyone else who tortures and murders any living thing for fun and profit. I don’t give a shit whether it’s illegal or not, or how much time he did, morally it makes me sick. I know it’s part of black-american culture, but that’s not an excuse to me; slavery has a long history in our culture too, it doesn’t make it right.
Torturing helpless animals is like beating up women or children, it’s just so pussy and unnecessary; really i wouldn’t have a problem with drowning or electrocuting Vick myself. Just being honest.
The mexican played with a torn muscle in his throwing shoulder.
And Come on New York are you serious. You got one guy who just beat you in the Playoffs, and another guy who’s your biggest rivals QB and you still vote for cutler?
I dont care what this question says but being a Giants fan it’s always my nature to vote against the eagles… Or in this case for them.
It’s pretty simple. like one of the first commenters said, Americans have no attention span whatsoever. If they asked that question immediately following the Vick thing, 80% of people would’ve said Vick. Same with right after the Roethlisberger rape thing. Kind of the same thing in politics. America wanted “change” after 8 years of Bush, so the country overwhelmingly voted Democrat in 08′. And now, after 2 years of Obama/ a democratic Congress, people are blaming the Democrats for the state of the country, and are starting to vote Republican again. No attention span. Also why people can’t stand the length of Jerry’s blogs.
Cutler’s teammates will defend him, when asked. “It’s funny to me how people form an opinion of a guy who’ve never even met him,” says Bears tight end Greg Olsen, a close friend.
So what’s the truth?
“He is what he is,” Olsen says.
Not exactly something for your tombstone.
What he is is an RPG-armed, 27-year-old Vanderbilt product who dates a reality TV star named Kristin Cavallari, battles Type 1 diabetes every day, and doesn’t care who understands him and who doesn’t. He’s a giving person who does things behind the scenes and hates it when he gets found out. A few days before Christmas, he and Cavallari brought presents for an entire ward of sick hospital kids. A reporter for the Sun-Times got wind of it and asked him about it. Cutler refused to discuss it.
He’s a battler who’s done amazingly well considering the swinging saloon-door offensive line he has to play behind. The man has been sacked more times this season (52) than in his three seasons in Denver combined (51). Yet he never complains
This is a pointless post seeing as ESPN ran this poll layering the nation with a full 24 hours of Cutler talk. Of course everyone is going to say Cutler. It’s the last thing they heard.
I find Rapistberger 10 times more appalling seeing as he’s a confirmed rapist and huge asshole (as evidence by the SI piece run on him last year). Now Rapistberger is getting the Kobe treatment, i.e. “Oh, that was in the past. He’s playing so well. Let’s not bring that up anymore”. Chris Berman and Tom Jackson already scoffed at people who still remember that, yes, he’s a rapist and dick.

you could kill a guy? you mean like Ray Lewis, and Donte Stallworth,
listen, anyone who’s still hatin on vick for what he did, get over ur fuckin self. seriously, the dude admitted what he did was wrong and did time for it. what more do u want? and ever since he’s gotten out he’s been humble as shit. dogs fight in the hood every damn day and u don’t hear shit about it, but of course once someone does something like this and the media picks up on it, they’re all over them. i’m not saying what he did was acceptable by any means, it was atrocious. personally i don’t give a fuck what he did, i rlly don’t and for fuck sake it’s not like he took human lives. And he seems like he’s turned his life around for the better. so fuck all of u faggots who r still hatin on him and givin him shit, it happened three years ago, move on cocksuckers. not to mention he’s still as disgusting as he ever was on the football field, if not better. just straight killin it so fuck off u parasites.
