This reminds me of what happened in Miami last year

When that news paper company printed out a paper congratulating the Heat on winning the NBA championship, immediately after they lost to the Mavs.

Jay Cutler is our QB, and I for one am proud of that

I know Belichick is getting ripped do making that cut

But I’m ok with it.

We never know what goes on behind closed doors...

Underwood’s public comments after the fact were incredibly classy, and it really could have been a simple personnel move, but there could be more to it than we know.

I’m not one to drop in baseless speculation, but sometimes decisions are made for reasons that the public will never know. See: Chris Harris released by the Bears.

I'm a ninja.
