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!

A Milwaukee native breaking the Bears starting lineup?



No Brewers game yesterday means I had time to turn my attention and reading for the day over the the Bears and actually break some things down from Sunday's big win over the Seahawks.
The news dominating the headlines today is Nick Roach (You can find him on Twitter here!). The Milwaukee Lutheran High School alum, who went on to attend Northwestern University started the year as the Bears' third middle linebacker and now he's the starter as Hunter Hillenmayer went out with a rib injury.
I've watched some tape and read some stories on him (Tribune and CB.com have stories) and Roach almost seems to be the better play for what the Bears want to do with the Mike linebacker. He's got a faster step than Hunter and has a knack for the ball as was seen on the play where he forced Seneca Wallace into throwing a ball that was picked off after a great play by Lance Briggs. Of course no one replaces No. 54, but they have to make due and Roach could be just the guy.
That means Jamar Williams will start on the strong side with Roach and Briggs going across the line. Lance is going to have to earn his stripes and that "C" he was voted to have when Urlacher went down and for the last two weeks, I'd say he has come through. Now if only we can have those four guys in front of the linebackers (you know the line) step up to get a consistent pass rush, the Bears could be in good shape to protect that suspect defensive backfield.

What I have next are some items from SI.com's Hot Clicks. Yeah, I'm going to put them here because they are funny and worth it. That and Jimmy Traina is on his shit. So why not.
Here's this diagram that is featured on cracked.com. And well, I couldn't resist because it's very true. I cover football games and the sideline is the best place to be. As a fan, anywhere else and you could be missing out.



Having watched some Brewers sing karaoke the other night I can appreciate an athlete that can carry a tune. Well, Marquette alum Dwyane Wade is not one of those that can do that. Be sure to check this. Don't quit your day job buddy.



Not sure if you saw this the other night, but Conan had to cancel a taping of the tonight show after he suffered a concussion. Take a look at this first for the race and second for Teri Hatcher. Don't say I never give you any advice!



We have arrived at today's Nussie Hunter portion of the broadcast and as I was combing the Web today, I came across this list at Gunaxin.com which recounts the best celebrity boobs of the last decade. (Expect more lists like this as the year ends, btw) Take a look for yourself here, but I would like to file a complaint and say that while Selma Hayek is the reason why Latin women are high on my list and she should be high on the list. Giving her the No. 1 spot when Keeley Hazell looks absolutely incredible is somewhat of a petty crime. I mean just look at her! Go ahead!
