Jay and diabetes

Great article and videos on Jay's struggle with diabetes that won't get much attention. It's a positive message without producing any controversy or a patented Cutler post-game smirk. These videos are an inspiration for me (type-1 diagnosed in '03) and many other diabetics around the country. Please check them out and let me know what you think.

Here's a segment of "Touchdowns for Diabetes" -

For every touchdown pass Jay completes during the 2009 season, Lilly will donate $1,000 — or approximately the cost of one full camp scholarship — to the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) camp scholarship fund. And for every pass Jay completes this season, we'll donate $100 to the scholarship fund to allow even more kids the chance to attend camp next summer.

FYI

I put these up in the fanshots if anybody wants quick access. They are definitely top notch video/interviews.

In regards to that cover shot...

They totally airbrushed his double chin.

I keeed, I keeed… but seriously, though.

I can't believe he let them put eyeliner on him.

That is a little surprising

but I can’t say with all certainty he has it on. The shadows make it difficult to ascertain.

Correction

Jay doesn’t have eye liner on here….

For your information, when “men” wear it, the proper name is GUY-liner.

Come on now guys, get with it … :-)

No band-wagoner fans allowed, pick a team and stick with em, throughout the good and the bad.

Hi, I’m Wilford Brimley, and I have diabetes. It hurts me to pee and it causes me to be short with my family. I can’t sleep at night. The other day I stubbed my toe and took it out on the dog. And two weeks ago I ran out of vanilla ice cream and struck my wife. Then I find out my wife’s been dead for six years. Who the hell did I hit?
