Fox Sports drops the ball in the Jay Cutler fake headline fiasco

What’d Fox use, Wikipedia?

And why not Windy City Gridiron?

So screw ’em.

So I could truly express how I feel about perhaps the largest news agencies deciding to publish false headlines in an effort to burn Jay Cutler to the ground….

This is absolutely one of, if not, the saddest, most pathetic event I have ever seen transpire in all my years.

Color me surprised, although it’s unfair to pin that on just them. Some of the QBs in the panels have been slightly more supportive of Cutler this season, including FOX’s Aikman, Young (before he backtracks to follow network’s orders) and Bradshaw (in fairness, one of the first guys that left the “quitter” bandwagon as soon as it was proven it wasn’t just a boo-boo on his knee). It’s usually the other dilferbags – professional journalists and former players of other positions – in the panels that move the conversation that way. Particularly, Tom Jackson likes to bring that stuff up every week, perhaps for the single reason Cutler didn’t want to go to one of the worst teams in the league, as McDaniels was Matt Millenning the Broncos by starting to trade a Pro-Bowl guy for a low-average QB he just was used to work with.

I don’t give a crap about Fox’s “excuses”, hell is already filled with them, put out a memo telling those dilferbags to drop mentions of his perceived “toughness” (you know, the guy that takes a hit almost on every play, yet missed only one game in three seasons). This is what will close the cycle of pounding on Cutler, not apologize for one thing while thinking what to do next to attack him.

I live in vikingland and all I hear about is “Jay is a whiner”, “Jay is a crybaby” blah, blah, freaking blah. All of these people get their sports news from Fox or TWWL and completely buy into it. One person keeps saying all Jay does is run down his teammates. Since he arrived in Chicago, has he said ONE negative thing about his teammates? Not that I recall. He only recently said ONE bad thing about the play calling and that was after two weeks of it not working! Plus, he didn’t say anything that wasn’t true! It pisses me off to no end to listen to people try to cut down a guy that doesn’t moan or complain even when his offensive coordinator is doing everything in his power to get him killed! Granted, when all these viking fans open their yappers about our quarterback, all I have to say is at least we have a quarterback!
Maybe we should have a venting thread about this topic somewhere on here, where we can all express our true frustrations (and can thusly use the f-bombs that are surely at the tip of our tongues!)

Am I the only one who actually watched that game? I never thought Fox was “bashing” Jay. If anything, I thought they were trying to create pity for him. I felt that they were pointing out how absurd the media handled the whole thing. The only thing wrong was that the booth guy said the word “actual.” They weren’t actual headlines, but none of us can say that wasn’t the sentiment going on in the media at the time. I know I didn’t imagine reading those articles.
