Is Jay Cutler under the impression that he's under oath every time he's asked a question by the media? Sure, it's entertaining for all of us, but eventually the Broncos quarterback is going to talk himself into trouble. While appearing on Fox's The Best Damn Sports Show Period on Thursday, Cutler was asked by Chris Rose to vent his feelings on Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers. Instead of doing what I would do — talk about the economy — Cutler decided that he would answer the question honestly. Sigh. The young man has a lot to learn.
"We're not best of friends at all. We don't really have a lot of contact with each other, you know, it's become a nice rivalry," Cutler said. "We're both younger guys and both on pretty good teams in the same division and get to see each other twice. I'm just not that big of a fan of the guy." Cutler continued, "I don't like how he carries himself. I don't like some of the stuff he does on the field."
Here's some video. This comes about a week after Cutler compared himself to John Elway in an interview with the Sporting News, saying that he had a stronger arm than Elway's.
"I have a stronger arm than John, hands down. I'll bet on it against anybody's in the league. Brett Favre's got a cannon. But on game days, there's nobody in the league who's going to throw it harder than I am at all."
Well yeah, maybe now. But Elway is 48. Is it my imagination, or are quarterbacks mouthing off more than ever lately? I prefered it when they just went out and got drunk six nights a week, then showed up on Sunday and played.
