Are you rooting for Chicago Bear quarterback Jay Cutler this season? I’ll admit that it’s a hard one for me, being a Packer fan and all, but since I’m also a Type 1 diabetic I really have a soft spot for him. Now I’ve found out that rooting for him may just help someone else with diabetes. So root for him I will!

Here are the details: Jay Cutler has teamed up with Lilly, who will donate $1,000 (which is the cost of one camp scholarship for a Type 1 diabetic child), for every touchdown pass he …read more

The biggest trade of the offseason saw Jay Cutler go to the Chicago Bears. Cutler, according to Bears fans, is the savior quarterback that the franchise has lacked for years and years. On Saturday night, Cutler played extremely well and left his fans happy.

That said, McDaniels was also adamant that Simms still has a chance to win the starting role if he outperforms Orton in training camp and the exhibition season.
Orton, who was acquired in the trade that sent Jay Cutler …read more

What’s that they say about burnt bridges? Looks like the Jets will have to walk over a burnt bridge in order to get the help of one Eric Mangini, their former coach who they dumped after this season. Mangini had winning seasons two out of the three seasons he coached the Jets, put apparently in New York that is just not good enough darnit!

But now the Jets will need Mangini to help them get Jay Cutler. Cutler is currently with the Broncos and it appears they won’t give him a new contract. So the Jets want …read more
