The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

Well, it looks like Chicago Bears starting quarterback Jay Cutler is a modern day Pepe le Pew. He knows how to sweet talk and romance the ladies. It's being reported that he proposed to his girlfriend - actress Kristin Cavallari -via text message and showed her the ring by mailing it to her. Rumor has it that he wants to do the wedding via Skype and have their honeymoon in separate cities via webcam. The locations of the Skype wedding and webcam honeymoon are yet to be determined, but the early Vegas favorites are for Cutler to be in Chicago for both the wedding and honeymoon and Cavallari to be in Los Angeles for the wedding and Las Vegas for the honeymoon. Yes, love is in the air! http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-207_162-57568162/kristin-cavallari-jay-cutler-proposed-by-text/

That's right. Chicago Bears wide receiver, Earl Bennett, has been warned by the NFL that if he wears his orange shoes from here on out, he'll be fined at least $15,000 by the league and removed from the game he's playing in and not allowed back in until he's changed shoes. Two words - who cares? There. I've said my bit. Players get fined for helmet-to-helmet hits, perhaps some form of taunting, missing team practice, speaking out against the referees, etc. Now let's add orange-colored shoes to the mix. If this were a multiple-choice exam, I'd be asking, "Which one of these does not belong?" Helmet-to-helmet hits, right? This is when I gave the ol' juvenile yank-yank motion. Yank-yank. There we go. Much better... http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/NFL-to-Earl-Bennett-You-wear-orange-shoes-you-?urn=nfl-wp12127

I don't have much to say about this game. It was like deja vu for the Eagles. In all five losses this year, it's been the same thing for them. They turn the ball over, commit untimely penalties, play awful red zone defense, give up chunks of yards via the run, abandon the running game, don't protect their quarterback, etc. This happened against Atlanta, New York (Giants), San Francisco, Buffalo and now Chicago. The Bears dominated both lines of scrimmage. Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler has been sacked more than any quarterback in the time he's spent with the Bears. Last night? He didn't get sacked once and rarely felt any pressure. The line also opened up several large holes for tailbacks Matt Forte and Marion Barber. Cutler was clutch on third down, especially in the red zone. The Bears defense also pressured Michael Vick all game and laid the wood to him on several occasions. Whether or not he's able to walk today is 50/50. Outside of that, Philly made too...
