Keep piling on Jay Cutler, Eesh!



It's Wednesday and there seems to be a growing need to keep critiquing and rehashing Sunday's awful showing by Jay Cutler and his alleged "so what" attitude in the post game.
First we have guys like Jim Mora, Sr. and Mike Martz going on NFL Network and saying how it's the worst thing he could have done.
He's kind of getting the Eli Manning "aww shucks" rip for shrugging things off after the loss and leaving it on the field.
I know people rip on him all the the time for his yelling and going a bit wild on the field, but in the press conference, come on.
I mean, that's where I have the problem. He needs to stay cool on the field because that's where things can go haywire. It's like my man David Haugh wrote today in the Chicago Tribune, he gets upset and tries to make up for three interceptions by forcing a throw and he's got another one. That, my friends needs to get fixed.
With the Steelers coming to town this week, going to need everything we can get out of Jay if the game is going to even be close.

Now to some good stuff of the. We'll start with this Kanye thing that just won't die. Turns out now that President Obama has a soundbite on the matter. Take a listen.



Found this one on today's SI.com Hot Clicks. And while it deals with the Patriots, we all know the words to the Cheers theme...



Now for some heartfelt goodness. If you haven't seen it yet, a dad in Philly made a great catch on a foul ball and in one motion handed to his 3-year-old daughter who delivers the ball to the section below. Since MLB doesn't allow embeding, be sure to check the video and story, here. Be sure to check tomorrow's Today Show where the family will be on with an alleged surprise waiting for them.

Now for today's Nussie Hunter and it's a girl associated with the start of the new sports season. I'm a hockey fan and have been since meeting up with my aunt and uncle when I was a kid in Dubuque. Well, Carrie Milbank is the girl of the NHL as the host of NHL TV. She also does some work with a little site called Tennis Week and covered the US Open in the last couple weeks.

Two fantasy teams, two losses in Week 1!



Well, Week 1 in the NFL is in the books and Tom Brady returned to his old magic last night. But, I'm not telling you anything you didn't already know there.

What you probably didn't know was that my two fantasy football teams, both named the Decatur Staleys if you were curious, suffered big-time losses this week. No need to panic though, there's a lot of season ahead. I ran into a buzzsaw on both counts, going against the team that scored the most points in one league and the second most in another.
Wouldn't have mattered though, as I scored the lowest total in one league against the guy that scored the most and the third lowest in the other. Yeah, not a good showing. I'll point fingers at Matt Schaub laying an egg against the Jets and Bernard Berrian did not catch a single ball from Brett Favre against the Browns as I started him over Santonio Holmes who had a great game for the Steelers Thursday night.

Take a look at my leagues.
The Milwaukee Football League and the Xtreme Football League (shouts to Vinny Mac!). For those in those leagues, here's a big howdy. Be sure to check my squad for suggestions!

Got some videos for you now on this Nick Random Tuesday. I didn't get to Kanye West yesterday because I had too much other good stuff. But fool was on the Jay Leno Show last night. Talk about Jay getting lucky with the ratings. Check goon squad's apology to Taylor Swift. Yeah, I didn't watch the show either, best to watch online!



Roger Federer played in the U.S. Open men's final yesterday. Never thought the U.S. Open would be the sight of so much controversy after Serena's outburst, but damn. Censors freaking all over the place!



A bit saddened by the loss of Patrick Swayze yesterday. I'm a big fan of this video, but it's all jumpy, so I'll just link you to that. And show you this vid of him with Hans and Frans instead!


As you know I'm a big WWE fan, despite not having actually watched it much since I moved to my current spot, but I still keep up. One of my all-time faves, Trish Stratus, did make an appearance last night and she's still got it. And as a brunette no less (I'm a sucker, what can I say?). Well, she's more famous as a blond. Can't say she's bad either way, huh?

Are guys in sports always this clueless?



Welcome back to the Way boys and girls. Had to take a day off to focus on my high school sports writing gig yesterday. Got you a midday edition today.

This week has been one of sports figures acting like the rest of the world is stupid and knows nothing. The first instance is Rick Pitino who is being extorted by a woman that he had an affair with then paid for her abortion.
That point I'm not calling him out on. What I am upset with is his calling out of the media for telling lies which have destroyed his family.
The woman did come to Pitino to get money from the coach, but the FBI is looking into her lying about what she alleges as sexual assault.
Take a look at the story. My problem with it is that the media has to cover it. And the only thing Pitino is yelling about is the medias playing of her disposition tapes. Rick, that's the only thing they have to go with. Well, until you just blasted everyone in your press conference.
They can't just ignore this story. It has to be covered. Maybe if he hadn't slept with this woman, he wouldn't be in this position. (No pun intended, but picture her on the table. Haha)



The other guy that does not have a clue is Milton Bradley, who signed with the Cubs for a ridiculous amount of money this offseason. Let's just say his numbers haven't come close to earning those millions.
He's been hearing from the Cubs faithful more and more lately and he finally fired back in the media, saying Cubs fans are racist.
Someone want to tell this bafoon that passionate fans know when a guy gets big money, he's supposed to come through. When he doesn't, boos follow. Just ask Bill Hall in Milwaukee.
Does he not know what the hell is going on with his season? He's missing it. He says he's never been comfortable at Wrigley Field, which isn't an excuse and he obviously going to get more comfortable when the boo birds rain down on him from all over the stadium.
Well, Bradley now has the Cubs in a spot where they are going to make a decision. One writer at the Tribune says, to let him go.
My take is that while some fans might be racist (that would happen regardless of which team they root for), that's not an excuse to fall back on for playing like crap. Be a man, and own up to it. Excuses from professional athletes to blue collar sports fans is not a good idea. No fan, regardless of where they are, will not sit for that.

Off my soapbox for now and on to some good stuff. First Shaq was on Jimmy Kimmel and played some Scrabble. As you might have guessed some goodness ensues.



I haven't really pushed music on here before, but when I heard this track, it jumped out at me. It's Drake featuring Eminem, Lil Wayne and Kanye West and it' called "Forever." Get on it!



Now to today's Nussie Hunter. I know your girl friend knows who Brody Jenner is. Well, you should know his girl friend, Jayde Nicole. The 2008 Playboy Playmate of the Year is amazing (and yes I follow her on Twitter!). Well, this story I found says she was beat down by Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis after she stepped in and threw a drink on him for getting pushy with one of her girl friends. Here's the story. Now take a look at Jayde. I'm not linking to any naked pics, but if you know how to use Google, you can find them.
