Comparisons coming already to the greats for Jay Cutler?

As it is in the NFL, the during the week banter the beat reporters churn out is sometimes on point, other times a bit out of left field.
I'm not really sure how to take what I read when hitting up the Chicago Tribune today to get some daily reading in on Da Bears.
"Top Story: Is Cutler the Next Tom Brady?" Was the first thing I saw on the page. At first, I'm thinking, OK, not a bad guy to be compared to, but OK, Let's read this story and see the points Rick Morrissey makes. (He does actually number a couple of them) Take a look here.
I'll go along with No. 1 on the list which (paraphrasing) says because the offensive line has been a bit inconsistent Ron Turner is calling shorter drops (3-5 steps) which means shorter routes for the receivers to run and less likelihood they can mess them up. No real problem with this. It's called avoiding a weakness. It was evident in the Packers game when there was a lot of time for Jay in the pocket the receivers weren't on the same wavelength as him.
That Packers game was a wake-up call for Jay to tighten the reigns as someone cornered him and laid down the law. Of course, as the story says, no one within the Bears will come out and say who or what was said to Jay, but either way for two games he seems to have gotten the message.
If that warrants a comparison to Tom Brady, who can make the most with his line and be very successful with short drops to exploit defenses, than fine. I'll go along with it.
He has no doubt shown his clutch ability in the last two games and even against the Packers, he came around and actually put the Bears in the lead with 7 minutes left before the game got away in the end.
My take is this, let's not anoint him. I think everyone as fans did enough of that in the preseason and got disappointed in Game 1. Let's not do that again. He's Jay Cutler. He's no John Elway, Thank you, end of story!

If you know me, you know I'm a rather big fan of "How I Met Your Mother" and some have even gone as far as to call me a true-life Ted Mosbey, the lead character in the show. (Vaughan and Amy, I thank you!)
One of the girls on the show, Alyson Hannigan, who plays Lilly on the show, was on David Letterman the other night. She was pretty funny. Enjoy!



Found this one today on the Twitter page of Jimmy Traina, you know the guy who runs SI.com's Hot Clicks I always talk about? Well it is Breast Cancer awareness month and Alyson and Mrs. Derek Jeter, Minka Kelly, talk about boobs. Pretty funny and rather hot!

OK, now for today's Nussie Hunter. I have been looking for a reason to put Jessica Biel on these pages and finally got word today. Justin Timberlake as cool as he is, broke up with her recently and Ms. Biel is now single. If you're reading this Jessica, my phone number is.... Haha!
