Kinda love this comment:

 

No doubt Cutler will have his occasional flashes of amazing snugly fit into a massive pile of [expletive] season. Jay Cutler is your buddy that you invite to a best-ball golf outing because he hits 325 off the tee. Except he shows up late and hungover and does nothing but shank into the woods until he finally pulls it together on the 12th hole and is all "see guys, just needed a little hair of the dog." [expletive] Jay Cutler.

Awesome.

We have one discernible pass play: Jay Cutler evading three defensive lineman, deftly stepping over his own fallen piece of [expletive] guards, and then having to unleash a 100-mph bullet into a tight window to a quadruple-covered Brandon Marshall, all as he gets speared by two blitzing linebackers. He will go 15 of 26 for 210 yards doing this, and then all week I have to hear that he is an overrated [expletive]. [expletive] you all.

 

Glorious.

The great hope in Chicago this year is the new head coach, who made his mark by being successful in the Canadian Football League. I suspect the Bears will lead the league in 12-men-on-the-field penalties, illegal procedure penalties (What? The wideouts can't get a running start down here?) And third-down punts. (four downs?!?!?! Witchcraft!)

I don't imagine Earl would get cut....but this one may take a while. Took 2 weeks to come back in December. This one could keep him out a couple games in the regular season.

Hahahahaha That best-ball analogy sounds exactly like me except for the being late part. Like this past weekend on the back nine, I had a double and triple bogey to start off then went 3 under the last 7 holes for a 38.

The thing about the Bears not mattering (in Chicago) and stuff was weird. Couldn't be more wrong.

 

Yeah, maybe I'm wrong, but I think if you polled people that actually lived in the City of Chicago, the Bears would be number 1 out of all sports teams.

 

Yeah, Chicago is overwhelmingly a Bears town. Any idiot knows that. Most cities with pro football teams worship those teams above all others, even the really bad ones.

It does vary. NY has a dozen teams, but it is a Yankees town first and foremost. Boston has to be a Red Sox town. Miami? Nobody goes to Dolphins games, and while it has to be short lived they would be a Heat town, no? Atlanta is a nothing town. Chicago, Minnesota, Denver, Pittsburgh, Philly, Dallas (although I don't know how the local versus national thing works), Houston (it's Texas, got to be football) and DC are all football heavy. San Fran is probably 49ers, but the Giants are a big deal. Phoenix is nothing. Detroit could be the Lions if they weren't a pointless franchise and may actually be the lone NHL-centric town in the US.

Given his age and timeline he has given for his life, you have to imagine he was in Chicago sometime in the late 90's early 00's. There was a lot of god awful football being played in Chicago at the time, while the Cubs experienced their 2nd modern era renaissance.

Green Bay/Milwaukee, New Orleans, Cleveland, and Baltimore I'd say as well.

I don't think Green Bay counts. New Orleans didn't give a crap about the Saints, or sports in general until 5 years ago, and that was with no competition for local hearts. Cleveland is most likely correct, and I don't know anything about Baltimore.
