I’m with you almost all the way. The Coward (and also late, I think I remember reading that he died a few months ago) Martin definitely grabbed McMahon from behind a good 3-4 seconds after the play ended, then proceded to use some kind of pile driver maneuver that slammed McMahon to the ground on his throwing shoulder.

Definitely more of an assault than a cheap shot. Also, besides the suspension he was ejected from the game.

There was some fighting that ensued after the play. Problem was, Martin had already been escorted from the stadium. The Bears O-line proceded to turn the game into a brawl for what was left of it. They kept cutting to commercial, if I remember correctly, so it wouldn’t all get televised.

First you say he probably rubbed guys the wrong way, thus youre assuming that a player or two probably dont really care for him too much on that team. Then the very next sentence you tell me not to worry about it. Not to worry about it. We are only talking about our FIRST FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK EVER. And thats putting it lightly, quite frankly. And he hasnt even gotten to play a regular season game yet and he already has to play in a controversy filled PRESEASON GAME (not a good mix to me).
           This does worry me, Im sorry, and it probably wouldnt as much if the team in Denver had some kind of respect for him (kind of the way the Bears have respect for Orton), but they dont. And it would probably be tempered a little bit more if Denvers organization had any kind of class but with everything that has transpired this offseason over there that comes into question as well. This is a team in turmoil, I dont care what Bronco fan tries to come over to the WCG and tell us otherwise, I know what Im seeing, and I wouldnt put it past them to pull something cheap like that.
               Hey you may not lose sleep over the fact that our new Pro Bowl Quarterback has to return to a place where he clearly despises, a place where he ripped the fan base, ripped the Defense (I heard it first hand at the EXPO), ignored the Head Coach and the front office to boot. Not to mention left every single player and coach in the dust as he fled off to his honeymoon with Chicago leaving them with Kyle Orton who has been booed constantly while he throws girly left handed picks and not gotten a very nice reception from his new Pro Bowl WR Brandon Marshall as well, did you see his work ethic in practice today, if Cutler was still there he wouldnt be asking to be traded, but hes worried his numbers are going to drop with the new QB in town so he wants his money now.
        Like you said Cutler probably ran his mouth to a number of guys on that team, and you dont think that is reason for concern. This game means a hell of a lot more as far as morale is concerned to the Broncos D than it does Cutler proving to them what theyre going to miss. Hey more than likely nothing will occur and I will be thanking God when Cutler comes out of this game unscathed, but it is something to be weary of.
         But dont tell me to not wrap my head around this. Cutler is, thats why he made that little PR move earlier this week throwing bouquets at the feet of a Coach he never played for (Or wanted to for that matter) and a team he clearly hates. Why the front, Ill tell you why, its because he and the Bears are just as concerned about something like that happening as I am.
         Maybe you need to start slamming this Jack with me, maybe then youll start thinking a little clearer and not be so naive to think that Cutler is Bruce Willis in Unbreakable and the Broncos are this ho hum gee whiz team that wasnt hurt or offended that their Quarterback skipped town on them.
         And yea I just HAD to bring it up, cause you just HAD to post a story of a popular quarterback in Chicago getting a cheap shot that ruined his career as it seems just two days before our new popular QB has to go back into the lions den. But youre right itll never happen to Cutler hes made of steel I forgot. And no why would a a player on that Denver D want to become a fan favorite in Denver bylayin the wood to a QB that everyone in that town hates. Trust me if they have a shot at him its going to have a little more juice than it would on some other joe schmo QB. Back to the bottle I go and my list will be finished on Sunday when you come by to watch the game. But its up to #685 now just so you know.

Due to the location of the oil filter or something…..I also never had one but they were a pretty cool little car.
