One Thumb up for Jay Cutler

Cutler expected to miss 6-8 weeks with broken thumb


Jay Cutler has now joined the "Unmanliest Sports Injury" Club. Does this really surprise you? Come on Jay! If you're gonna be out for 6-8 weeks I want a sprained ankle or dislocated shoulder. Hell, I'll even let you jump on the "groin" injury bandwagon. I'm talking to you Roy Williams. I wanna see you grimace in pain as you limp to the sideline. You're already soooo good at that.

A stupid thumb injury is lame. Anyone who's anyone will tell you to, "Buck up and play the damn game!" I'm sorry Jay- but I am not convinced you need surgery. I'm not even convinced you actually broke it. You do tend to over exaggerate, no?

Solution: just slap on one of those really effective gloves that Stafford wore last week. Too soon Matt Stafford?

Bottom line: "Breaking fingers" are for babies. Break a real bone, then I'll feel bad for you as you sit on the sidelines and pout. (Even though you do that really well with ten perfectly healthy fingers.)

I will give you this: at least you broke your finger playing a sport NOT tripping over a gym bag!

I'm talking to YOU CARLOS BOOZER!!
