Vick, Simpson question Cutler's maturity

PrintIn separate interviews yesterday, Michael Vick and Orenthal "O.J." Simpson called into question the maturity and decision making of newly acquired Bears QB Jay Cutler. Cutler's reputation has come under attack in recent months since demanding a trade from the Denver Broncos after problems arose between new coach Josh McDaniels and himself.
In a telephone interview yesterday from a Virginia half-way house, former Falcon QB and kennel operator Michael Vick expressed his disdain for Cutler's handling of the situation. "You gotta think. You're in the NFL now. You can't just be doin' whatever like there ain't nobody paying attention. You gotta be a leader and look out for your team, not just worry about yourself."
Vick concluded the brief interview by calling into question the people Cutler surrounds himself with. "Man, you can't just be hanging out with anyone. You gottta have people around you who support you and will help you do the right thing and make good decisions."
Speaking via collect call from the Nevada State Penitentiary, Mr. Simpson expressed similar sentiments. "You're a professional athlete. You've got to keep yourself under control... keep your temper in check. You can't just go flying off the handle when you think you've been disrespected. You've gotta think things out, and not just act on emotion, 'cause that'll catch up with you eventually." He went on to convey his thoughts on today's athletes having what he called a sense of entitlement. "It's like they think they can just get away with anything because they play football. You may get away with it once or twice, but eventually you'll run into the proverbial guy-wearing-a-wire-in-a-hotel-room-while-you-rob-him-at-gunpoint, and then it's all gonna catch up with you."

yes.
Everyone and their Mother’s have commented on Cutler. Why do two convicted felons need a reason to talk about what everyone else is talking about, besides the fact they’re both former players.
can we get a quote from red grange?
perhaps conrad dobler?
this is the stupidest post i have read in a long time. in order for it to be funny there needs to be some sort of connection to make it ironic. go read the onion and you’ll understand.
Yeah. The onion needs some sort of connection.
Like this story linking J.D. Salinger to the terminator franchise.

You’re a smart one, aren’t you?
There are other forms of comedy besides satire. Absurdist, for instance, which I think covers this post. Thanks for your input, guy. Now enjoy the rest of “Two and a Half Men” and leave comedy to the people who get it.
"If God had wanted man to play soccer, He wouldn't have given us arms" - Ditka
dude, this isn't funny in the slightest.
ooooh OJ Simpson! How relvant.
Find me a story where Michael Vick calls out anyone and it makes sense. And OJ Simpson? that’s real relevant material.
You just have a weak sense of humor.
that's the joke..they never would.
I’m not going to argue this anymore. You’re making my head hurt.
"If God had wanted man to play soccer, He wouldn't have given us arms" - Ditka
so since they never would, it's not funny to pretend to quote them
it’s only funny when you fake quote people who think they are high and mighty yet are full of it.
you really don’t understand irony.
My apologies to you sir.
I will work harder and dedicate myself to bringing any future posts up to your rigorous standards. I doubt I’ll ever surpass such greatness as your oft-used “Carry my bags, rook,” but I will make a concerted effort to try.

wow, really?
you are comparing a throw away post that i reply to new people to something you actually took time to write?
thanks.
look man
If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. I fully understand that not everyone, or even most people, are going to like everything I throw out there. What I don’t understand is why you’re so enamored with trying to trash everything you don’t agree with or like, and I’m not just referring to this post. While I assumed not everyone would like this, I never imagined that someone would spend so much time trying to convince others that they shouldn’t like it either, or that an argument would take place over whether something is humorous or not. You’ve thoroughly expressed your distaste, why not just leave it at that?

He's covering up
for the fact that he didn’t really get the joke the first time he read it; that is the only explanation for his behavior.
Ah well, I think you are right to just forget it. BTW, it was a clever post : Funny concept, good quotes.
no i got the joke. it doesn't make any sense
you see, just making up quotes from bad guys isn’t funny. you see, it’s only ironic if those guys actually has said that. other than that it’s on the nose humor that obviously appeals to you.
The problem isn’t that I didn’t get the joke it’s that you find it clever.
i know you from somewhere
FAQ is not the name i know you by either.
what handle do i know you by better?

But since we had to pick new username I picked a sports neutral one for all the chicago sports blogs on here I like to read. Chad, I assume?
Like pizza? Me too.
Check out my pizza review site.
yeah just Chad
when they transfered over Chad was already taken. i just grabbed tempchad as i was planning on thinking of something else.
that was a year ago…
It's called irony...
And it does take a slight modicum of intelligence to appreciate it.
Here are some quotes which might help you though this mental challenge you’re facing:
"Irony is a disciplinarian feared only by those who do not know it, but cherished by those who do"
“Humor brings insight and tolerance. Irony brings a deeper and less friendly understanding.”
“Irony is just honesty with the volume cranked up.”
it would only be ironic if vick or simpson had actually said something trashing cutler
but since they didn’t it’s not ironic.
What?
You think irony only exists in non-fiction? This post is pointing out the irony (or the absurdity) of a fictional set of interviews. The objective was to point out the author’s issues with the other football personalities who have commented on Cutler and his maturity. It makes perfect sense. Your failure to recognize it is a reflection of either your crankiness, your limited intelligence or is simply a feeble attempt at covering up your failure to recognize humor after reading it the first time. I guess only you will ever know.
Anyway, I’m done with this discussion….

no it's not ironic to make up quotes from people
it would be like making up a quote from Jack Tatum about someone playing dirty. HAHAHA!
Nice work-
this was very funny.

Kick it to me... I'm open!

Hear about the blind hooker, you gotta hand it to her.

Dear god I hope not
I’m sure he’ll find plenty of problems to get into on his own, especially with the jerk-offs that seem to dominate sports media. He doesn’t need her around drawing more attention. Not to mention it could somehow lead to us having to hear her music. Or even worse, her sister’s.

I loved what Boers and Bernstein said on the Score about Ditka talking about Cutler
Isn’t this the same guy who traded an entire draft for the mature Ricky Williams? The Ricky Williams who can’t put a bong down for five minutes?

If anyone should know about a lack of character
it would be these two sorry excuses.

That's because Simpson knows Cutler planted the blood glove on Bundy

Contrary to what some people think...
This was HILARIOUS! Keep up the good work dude. And some of you really need to check out the Onion. If you don’t like this sort of comedy, that’s cool. But don’t discourage other people’s creative styles.
hey! you hypocrite!
making fun of people’s lame posts IS my creative style.
who do you think you are to try and silence that.
I was told that I ruined this house with my anger
Are You Serious?
In the,( who cares?), segment of my posting let’s examine this. Two great football players that screwed up lucritive football careers question another players maturity? One of these players was accused of murder and went to Prison for trying to get back his Heisman he sold. The other football player liked to kill dogs during the off season and he also went to Prison. So on a boring day some reporter reports what they said? LMAO……………….WHO CARES?
