Jay Cutler: “[Accidents] Like That Can’t Happen”
NFL April 3rd. 2008, 1:54pm
Though he’s not quite generating Matt Leinart-like headlines, Denver QB Jay Cutler has had his share of … shall we say, “interesting developments” two years into his career. There was the time he blew off Neil O’Donnell and a TV crew that had flown in from Nashville hoping for an interview with the local boy who had done good. And the famous trash-talking incident with Philip Rivers on Monday Night Football last year. Now, he’s gone after teammate Brandon Marshall, who suffered an “accident” recently when wrestling with family members, and will be out three months after surgery on his arm.
“He’s not my favorite person right now,” Cutler said. “I support him, but it’s always something with him right now and you can’t have that. It’s disappointing. We wanted to get a lot of work in this summer and he was going to be a big part of that, but now it’s up in the air when he’s going to come back.”
“I’ve talked with him many times,” Cutler said. “A lot of people have. I’ve probably talked with him more than most people. He knows he’s running out of chances. This wasn’t like his DUI or other stuff he’s had. It was an accident, but still, stuff like that can’t happen.
“He knows it and hopefully it’s his last, but it’s like I told him, ‘They’re going to quit giving you chances around here.’ Hopefully this is the last thing we’re going to hear about him for a while.”
Got it Broncos? No more accidents! That means you, Travis Henry! No more drugs, and certainly no more kids! In the interim, we suggest Cutler go pick up one of Henry’s nine children and plug them in at WR until camp begins in July.

Cutler is right to hold his receiver accountable. That’s what a leader does. Marshall is an idiot for that kind of injury.
Also, Philip Rivers is a douche. He also got into shouting matches with Colts fans on the sideline during the playoffs.

Stan: Dude, Dude, that is Jay Cutler over there, QB for the Denver Broncos!
Kyle: Oh My God!
RE: Would you boys like to meet him?
Stan: Are you serious?
RE: I want you to meet Stan and Kyle, they broke 100,000 points in Guitar Hero.
Cutler: Wow! Really? Nice to meet you guys.
Stan: Nice to meet you, I mean you kinda suck but my dad says that you might be good someday.

Have you looked at Brandon Marshall’s history? He’s the one with “interesting developments.” He had a DUI and also was with Darrent Williams when he was killed. Marshall threw a beverage on some gentlemen that night which started the whole fracas.

Cutler blew of the old Steelers QB that thought Larry Brown played for the Steelers in the Super Bowl?
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:59 pm
412…nice. great episode. i cant wait to go home and try and catch the dragon.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:00 pm
cbh – Super Bowl XXX never happened. Listen to me: it never happened!
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Beat me to it 412
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:01 pm
interesting twist, cutler blowing off neil o’donnell as o’donnell blew off a number of his receivers for defensive backs in his days.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:01 pm
TBL, I think you’re way off. I’ve personally met Cutler and he’s a nice guy, and as others pointed out it’s not like Marshall and others have been exemplary. Maybe he shouldn’t have gone to the media with this, but he still is correct nonetheless.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Ow. My pride
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Damn TBL, what’s your grudge with Cutler? Blowing off Neil was rude, but that’s down-right saintly compared to most professional athletes’ to 3 A-hole moves.
It makes you sound mighty petty.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:02 pm
TBL, excellent write up. Very funny stuff.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:03 pm
412, they showed that game in its entirety not too long ago on NFL Network, I mean what was the deal with those throws? Both times it was Brown out there by himself, even as a 12 year old watching that game I thought something might have been up.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:04 pm
cbh – I don’t think you’re hearing me. It never happened!!!
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Speaking of Matt Leinart-like headlines, Florio put this up recently. I don’t like Leinart, but comparing him to Chris Henry seems like a stretch.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Cutler + Marshall + Scheffler + Random RB = Denver offense set for the next ten years.
\End homerism
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:09 pm
you guys don’t really believe he tripped on a mcdonalds bag, do you?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Brandon Marshall is a legend in Orlando. I could care less for any Bronco player, but my co-worker used to party with him at UCF
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:09 pm
I usually like Florio but that guy can sure by a blowhard.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Cutler should not have went public with his grievances. It just ain’t right.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:10 pm
@the 412: Ahh South Park, the best part is the very subtle Denver references that no one else in the country gets. Like in that same episode where they meet the furniture store guy with the tiger.. That guy really exists and always has tigers/lions/cougars (not the good cougars) in the commercial with him.
I love that show
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Benji, I believe he tripped, the question is was it acid, ecstasy, pcp….
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Maybe he tripped over Travis Henry’s kids.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:14 pm
joking aside, cutler is completely right, and this is the kind of thing you look for in a QB. i wouldnt be surprised in the least if he’s the most successful of the young/leinart/cutler trio.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:15 pm
A friend of mine was part of some charity dinner in Denver not too long ago, and told me Jay Cutler was there. She also informed me that he has the personality of a brick. Wow, imagine that!
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Growing up on the hard streets of Santa Claus, Indiana will do that to a guy. It also causes your haircuts to look like Jimmy from “Hoosiers”
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Cutler was at UFC Fight Night last night and he looked like your average Southern frat boy douche
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Cutler and his ‘bama bangs were in the house for UFC Fight Night 13 last night.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:24 pm
…beaten by the clown.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:31 pm
@tk
Claynation member?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:33 pm
cant stand the ‘bama bangs. My brother in law went to Troy State(home of the shitter Osi) and he has the bama bangs.
bama bangs and a belly button ring. typical alabama frat boy douche
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:40 pm
a dude with a belly button ring? i dont think ive heard of such a thing.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Now I’m curious: what makes a southern frat boy douchier than a a frat boy from other regions? Or is it just the Bama bangs thing (which is indeed, supremely douchey… it’s like the southern version of slick-backed hair, or Jersey-guido tips).
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:46 pm
august…na, each region has it’s own douchiness. for example, there’s the roided out, fake baked, seer-sucker shorts, pastel polo, visor look employed by the Texas frat boys. or there’s the hoodie, disgusting jeans, big 10 school destroyed hat, new balance shoe look employed by Great Lake region frat boys.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Irish – Belly button ring? Was your bro-in-law a member of the “fuck me in the ass” fraternity?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:47 pm
+1 for spot-on regional frat boy descriptions be spencer!
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:48 pm
@Dirty
Isn’t that (fuck me in the ass) just the standard hazing ritual?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Irish mentioned his bro in law about a month ago, I also questioned his sexuality but the rest of you didn’t seem fazed by a dude having a belly button ring.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:51 pm
@ irish – how could you let your sister do such a thing?!!?!?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:52 pm
+ 1 spencer096 for the prompt clarification
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:52 pm
step sister fellas. no blood ties thank god
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Had a run-in with Cutler and his posse at my neighborhood watering hole several month’s back. Looked like a douche. Acted like a douche. Seemed pretty confident regarding his shuffle board skills until my buddy and I set his ass down, leading him to ask aloud, “is this board regulation size?”
Yes Jay, the board is legit. You, however, are not. Is this really the face of my franchise for the next 7 years?
I’d rather have drank like a champion with Big Ben – I had a friend do undergrad at Miami – she said that despite being quite possibly the LEAST-INTELLIGENT person she had ever met – Big Ben missed a party.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Miami of Ohio please. Dont get the two confused
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Possibly the least credible thing I’ve read in a sports blog all week.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:59 pm
@ barbazonmodel: I ran into the guy several times at Sam’s here in Nashville during his last year at Vandy, and he was always cool as shit. A little quiet and not exactly the life of the party, but not the ass-bag you describe (the ‘regulation size’ bit is so, so lame)… guess we all have bad days.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:03 pm
You tell ‘em Irish. If Ben went to Miami of Florida he’d be scrapping for the 3rd QB spot on the 49ers or Montreal Alouettes.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Jay Cutler is disappointed in the Cincinnati Bengals.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:05 pm
so is it possible that the motorcycle wreck didn’t make roethlisberger any dumber?
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Damn you beat him in shuffle board. That guy fucking sucks, I’m glad he’s not on the Texans
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Irish – you are a funny little man. There was no confusion on my end – and certainly anyone with any semblence of sports knowledge would not need the Miami of OHIO, located in OXFORD, OHIO tag when dropping that line in causal conversation.
Other correction: big ben *never* missed a party
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:15 pm
@model- if 6′3 is small to you, than i must assume that you think Big Ben is in shape as well.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:41 pm
@dirty- i expected more out of you. your one daily comment is getting really tainted
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Noted.
Irish – you are a funny, taller-than-average, man – with the mental capacity porportionally suited for a much smaller frame.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:43 pm
@ mizerle06 – I enjoy the Claynation, especially around college football season.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Dude..one time I totally smoked Bernie Kozar in a few rounds of Albany-style Canasta. He was like “Is that a regulation deck?” I was like “Hells yeah, now sit down and tell Herman Fontenot to go pour me a drink!”
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:53 pm
This story seems too good to be true.
Assuming it’s legit, what’s the name of the bar, just so I can go there on a future trip and hopefully run into Cutler.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:56 pm
bullshit, it’s common knowledge that Bernie Kosar has never lost a round of Albany-style Coanasta in his life.
he also wears deck shoes with no socks and his shirt halfway unbuttoned sans undershirt in december.
one of these is true. to give you a clue, i have no idea what Albany-style Canasta is.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:01 pm
TBL >>> Cutler — in an arm wrestling match
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:01 pm
@barzmodel- porportionally = proportionally. at least spell right when making an insult about smarts
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:13 pm
The Candlelight – best dive bar in town that still attracts some hot tail.
TBL – I’ll hit you up with the e-mails that went around the next morning.
Irish – I’ve got to start commenting more. Three mistakes in three posts? Unacceptable…Especially with the grammar gestapo lurking behind every corner. Your ability to police these message boards while simultaneously measuring the size of your dick and flexing in the mirror…magic…pure magic.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Umm… Cutler…. RELAX! Brandon Marshall is an NFL receiver. A DUI and a night out where your teammate gets murdered is pretty much par for the course. Just deal with it and tell your sorry-ass fans that Elway is old and retired and to get on with their lives…
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:18 pm
For real? It’s pretty much just regular Canasta but you are allowed to take cards off the discard pile if you can meld the bottom card of those you take.
On a sidenote: Bernie did come back the next round and wipe me up in Mexican Canasta. When he went out he chuged his milwaukee’s best then sidearmed the glass across the room while yelling “SCREW YOU ELWAY, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!”
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:19 pm
i have no idea what Canasta is in general…ill do some research tho.
i have a vivid mental image of that scenario playing out, and ill be damned if it isn’t the funniest thing ive ever…um…hallucinated?
