Well, Amanda's Way has gone back to Wilber's Way (At least for now). She did a great job, but I'm back off assignment and after taking yesterday to sulk after a Bears loss, I'm back at it today.
Let's talk about the Bears. They haven't been very intimidating to anyone in the last month and have been downright awful at times. It seems like a regular Tuesday occurrence for me to spend time dissecting Jay Cutler's performance, but this week was especially hard to watch. As a sports guy and someone I think reads body language pretty well, you can just see him frustrated as hell at time Sunday night.
That five-pick game in San Fran last Thursday has surely gotten to him and now he's in his own head. I'm a baseball guy and something coaches teach kids playing the game is to have a short memory. You can't let that last at-bat influence you on the next one. The same can be said for him as a quarterback. He almost needs to forget that game ever happened. He has at least three passes that would have been touchdowns had he not overthrown Devin Hester or Greg Olsen by at least five yards.
Then the throws he does get to guys, they don't make plays on and you can see him just wanted to vent.
I'm very loyal to my quarterback (See me back in the Rex Grossman years) and I think he just needs some help. The line is awful and without a run game, teams are scheming just to shut Jay down and it's killing him. Add to that the fact only Greg Olsen is a receiver he trusts in the clutch and Jerry Angelo should take notice to get the man some help. Unfortunately that can't be done through the draft as the team has traded away its No. 1 and No. 2 pick this year for Jay and Gaines Adams, who has shown he is not worth the No. 2 at all!
On top of that, I'm not sure Ron Turner is a guy that knows how to handle a quarterback like him. He's been great with guys like Rex who he can have turn and hand the ball off, but Jay is a prolific passer and needs a guy to call the plays and have his back. Ron Turner is not that guy for Jay.
There is an embattled college coach at Notre Dame who could be on the way out that helped build Tom Brady into the best in the game. Maybe when he becomes free, he can help Jay. Just spit balling here.
While I'm on a Bears tip, I know it's not going to get any easier next week. And AJ isn't exactly helping things. I know you read her blog Thursday where she admitted to being a Vikings fan. Well, this is what she bought the other day... She's lucky she's awesome in so many other areas that I can overlook the being a Vikings fan and just realize she flat out looks good in purple...
Changing gears a little bit, saw this on SI.com's Hot Clicks today and had to post this hear. Ron Artest was on Jimmy Kimmel last night and showed up in his underwear. Dude is a bit out there. Not sure where he gets it from. This is Part 1. Be sure to check Part 2 of the interview, here.
Now to some randomness, that is rather awesome. My boy Golberg linked to this today on Facebook and when I saw it I knew it was great. I was a big fan of the Muppets when I was a kid and this is a great video that gets pretty much all of them involved. Who doesn't love a little Bohemian Rhapsody?
Well, boys and girls, it's now time for the Nussie Hunter portion of the broadcast. I'll be honest today, I'm letting things go and revealing I'm a sucker for a great Latin woman. Never had one, but wow, they sure as hell trip my trigger. Sofia Vergara is one of the best. She was in an episode of Entourage a couple years back and is just plain hot. I mean, check this pic and decide for yourself. WHOA!!!
The MUPPETS! Tight effort!
