Cutler Gone Bad

Cutler Gone Bad?
Know, I'm not referring to Cutler's playing style. Although I think this creep isn't that good a quarterback (QB). This guy's overrated and his new coach knows it.
What I'm referring to is his bad attitude. In my opinion the only thing worse then mediocre skills is a putrid attitude.

Who does Cutler think he is? Oh yeah, the next Elway, Montana, Rice, all rolled into one pretty awesome QB.
My G-d this guy isn't nearly in their class. He's needs to put together 15 years of amazing stats and some Super Bowls to get there.

Most players know that they're never safe from being traded, unless you are Elway. While Elway is one of greateest QBs in NFL history, Cutler is Terrell Owens in a QB's body. Every team should take notice. Cutler is a punk who will tear apart his team.
He believes he's above every other player and can act like delinquent.

Cutler had a chance to prove to Bronco fans that he's a mature leader and quarterback by responding to trade rumors with class.
Instead this cry baby showed Denver that they have a baby and punk as their QB. Denver has problems now.
They should hire a high class nanny to nurture this ahole.

I think Denver should trade Cutler. What about sitting this worthless idiot for all of 2009 if he doesn't show up to practice.
Maybe Buffalo wants him. They already signed another clown in Owens.

Wouldn't Cutler and Owens make the perfect match? If you're talking about Laurel and Hardy.
All kidding aside. Cutler is a problem and a cancer to his team and any future team.
Players with attitudes like Cutler and Owens never learn.

They go from team to team and wear out their welcome. They divide their team and grow like a cancer that has to be removed for their team to survive.

I will make the same prediction about Cutler as I did with Owens. Cutler will never achieve true greatness because of his poor and greater then thou attitude.

Ding Dong of the Week - #4

This week we have a 3 way tie for ding dong of the week. Three situations occurred on Sunday that had my head spinning in disbelief.

Ding Dong #1 is Bills head coach Dick Jauron – With less then 2 minutes remaining and his team up by 3, Jauron called a passing play on second down. QB J.P. Losman went back to pass, was ruched, then hit and he fumbled the ball. The football was picked up by the Jets and returned for a TD.
What a stupid decision to pass the ball. It’s evident to me that the Bills are pathetic due to the people calling the plays. Jauron should accept total blame for his team’s ridiculous loss.

Ding Dong #2 Titans Coach Jeff Fisher – With the game winding down against Houston and the Titans facing 4th down and 3 yards to go, Fisher went for it. His field goal kicker had kicked 4 long field goals all day and this was a 50 yarder.
A field goal would have won the game for the Titans.
This was a dumb call from a good coach.

Ding Dong #3 NFL Officials – Late in the 4th quarter and the Steelers threatening to score, Pittsburgh threw the ball towards the endzone. The receiver caught the ball with his feet in the endzone but the ball never seemed to break the plane of the goal line.
The officials called it no touchdown.
It was a close play that was reviewed. To overturn the call on the field, a referee needs to see incontrovertible visual evidence that would dispute the call on the field.

In reviewing the play, the ball looks to be slightly behind the goal line as called on the field. There is no visual evidence to change the play.

With that said the dumb referee called the play a touchdown. What a moron.

The Cowboys Cancer

Which NFL receiver has had issues with every one of his NFL teams? Which player has always had problems with his team’s quarterback (QB), going as far as blaming them for his team’s losses?
The answer is Terrel “Terribly Obnoxious” Owens.

Owens is a selfish player who always finds a way of dividing the players on the team he plays for. There is no difference in Dallas. He blames Romo for not getting the ball to him at key times in a game or enough times.

I don’t see Terrible Owens berating himself after he’s dropped two or three key passes in a game. This guy is a cancer to any team he plays for. His track record shows that.

What do people do when they have cancer? They try to cut it out or find other means of destroying their cancer. Time will show that Dallas will need to eradicate its cancer, Terrible Owens. This guy’s antics have divided his team.

The unfortunate thing is that Owens is a talented receiver. If he only kept his mouth shut and played football for 60 minutes as well as being a team player, he would be far more successful.

Owens hasn’t learned how to be a team player. It’s not in his makeup to care. Owens is for Owens and he has no desire to be part of a team. His goal is his personal success and if he feels it’s suffering because his team is losing, then he’ll bring down the ship.

The funny thing is that Jerry Jones thinks that Owens is his team’s savior. As long as Owens keeps up his divisive ways, Dallas will be hard pressed to win the Super Bowl or go far in the playoffs.

I’d hate to be Romo right now. If Romo passes the ball to any player other then Terrible, he’ll be criticized by him. If Dallas loses, Terrible will blame Romo for not getting him the ball.
Has anyone ever heard Terrible taking the blame for his team’s loss after dropping some passes?
I’m sick of the guy. He’s a cancer to Dallas and hopefully will be removed sooner then later.

Ding Dong of the Week - #3

Today's Ding Dong of the NFL was an easy choice.
The Ding Dong is...
Rod Marinelli - head coach of the pathetic Detroit Lions who are 0-13 after a loss to division rival Minnesota. A key play came in the first half with the Lions leading the Vikings. They had a 4th and goal and had been stuffed by the Vikings Defense on 3 consecutive plays. Instead of kicking the easy field goal, Marinelli elected to go for it and ran the ball right at the Vikings, Williams wall.
The Lions were left with no points and it came back to hurt them late in the 4th quarter.

There were other questionable calls by Marinelli and it was evident to me why the Lions are winless. They're pathetic and their coaching is awful. Marinelli is trying to do too much and not thinking logically. I guess being winless could do that to anyone but it's times like this that you need to think logically and do whatever it takes to win.

The NFL Got IT Right

I've been critical of the way that the NFL has handed down punishment this season but when it comes to Kevin and Pat Williams and 4 other NFL players, the NFL got it right.
The NFL suspended 6 players including the Williams brothers for taking a banned substance.
The banned substance was in a drug the players claim they took for helping them to maintain their weight. The drug did not indicate the banned substance in its ingredient list.

The Williams brothers filed suit to prevent the suspension in a Hennepin Minnesota court and won a temporary restraining order of the suspension pending a trial on the matter. The next move is up to the NFL.

The NFL got this one right. The players union signed a collective bargaining agreement that calls for any disputes of suspensions to be appealed to the NFL. The collective bargaining agreement spells out how that appeals process will be handled.
So, when the Williams brothers appealed the case and lost, they were bound by that decision.

The NFL has taken an extremely tough stance on banned substances and the penalties are harsh (4 game suspension for first time offense). There is no option for the NFL to be able to mitigate the penalty if it feels that a particular case is minor or the intent of the player in question wasn't willful.
The NFL also leaves it up to the player to regulate their own use and to ensure compliance that the drugs they're taking aren't on the banned substance list.

I like the fact that the NFL isn't backing down. It sends a message to all NFL players that they're responsible for what they put in their bodies and that they must ensure that they're in compliance with NFL policy.

The Williams bothers claim that the NFL never informed them that the drug they were taking included a banned substance but the NFL alleges that in 2006 they did inform NFL players to stay away from the drug (KFAN.com).
Even if the NFL didn't inform its players they were under no obligation to do so.

How is the NFL able to decide intent? The Williams brothers claim they took the drug to control their weight (Their contract provided for incentives if they maintained a certain weight). The ingredient in the drug in question can be used to mask steroid use. How is the NFL supposed to prove that the Williams brothers claims are true and that they weren't trying to mask steroid use? They can't.

There are other ways of maintaining your weight that doesn't include taking a drug. The Williams brothers are hardly the stereotype of an athlete. They're big obese players. Maybe they could eat less and get a nutritionist and personal trainer to help them maintain their weight.

I'm a big guy myself and find it absurd that an NFL player, an athlete who is obese would need to take drugs to help them maintain their weight. What message does this send to future NFL players? Does it say you don't have to be a real athlete to be an NFL player and you can take drugs to help you lose or maintain your weight? That's nonsense.

We'll never know the true reason why the Williams Brothers took a drug to help them maintain their weight. Are their claims true? I say who cares? The drug is banned by the NFL and it was their responsibility to know that and refrain from taking a banned substance. Now they should be made to sit out their suspension and not blame others for their poor actions.

Ding Dong of the Week - #2

We're back with our second Ding Dong of the Week and this one really represents the Ding Dong category well.

The Ding Dong is....
Plaxico Burress of the New York Giants who accidentally shot himself at a Manhattan night club (ESPN.com). If that isn't bad luck Plaxico was charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a permit which is a crime in New York.

What a Ding Dong. The guy accidentally shoots himself. What a moron. What was Plaxico thinking? He doesn't think. He's had a number of incidents this year and been fined for poor conduct.

I hope he's found guilty, goes to jail and is suspended by the NFL. Plaxico is a joke.

Hot Arms - Issue #7

Can you believe the high scoring games this past week in the NFL? A new record was set as scores skyrocketed.
With that in mind, let’s see who are the Hot Arms in the NFL.

So who are the Hot Arms this?
1) Eli Manning – He’s definitely the hottest quarterback in the NFL. He has all the ingredients of a great quarterback (QB). The guy comes form behind when needed, he’s a leader on and off the field, he puts together impressive drives and he wins.
At 10-1, the Giants are the best team in the NFL. Manning deserves much of the credit for the Giants success this year.

2) Drew Brees - This guy threw for 4 TDs and over 300 yards in last nights demolition of the Green Bay “you looked more like Cheese Whiz then like Cheese Heads” Packers.
Brees is well on his way to beating Dan Marino’s single season record.

3) Peyton Manning – After experiencing set-backs earlier in the season due to the fact that he was recovering from surgery, Manning has put together impressive wins. Last week he led his team to victory as he drove down the field and gave Adam Vinatieri a chance to nail a game winning 51 yard field goal with no time left on the clock.

4) Kurt Warner – A definite candidate for MVP. Warner has led his Arizona Cardinals to first place in their division. He’s also putting up numbers similar to Brees.
It’s fun to see Warner and the Cardinals having success.

5) Brett Favre – As much as it pains me to admit it, I have to include Favre in the list. He’s led his NY Jets to an 8-3 record and 5 wins in a row. In those wins, Favre has played like an MVP. The defining moment came this past Sunday as he led his Jets to a rout over the Titans who came into the game as the NFL’s only undefeated team.

That’s my list of the top 5 QBs in the NFL. These guys are the Hottest Arms at this point in the NFL season.
