First Bobby Wade said that Brian Urlacher called new teammate Jay Cutler a pussy. Urlacher denied it. Then Urlacher said the radio stations starting this nonsense were the pussies. Explanations and clarifications disrupt a quiet Wednesday in the Windy City.
The official story, courtesy of KFAN (via these guys via NBC Florio) has Wade, the former Bear now Viking wideout, engaging in the normal sports radio wacka-wacka in Minnesota until Cutler's name gets brought up and then this happened:
"I don't want to get him in trouble, but it wasn't what [the Bears] expected. Pretty much [Urlacher] said Jay Cutler was a pussy for the most part."
Urlacher was aghast. He said no such thing.
"To tell you the truth, I think it's just stupid. I don't really care. I think Jay knows me well enough to know I wouldn't say that. The radio stations that talk about it? I really don't [care] what they said. They are the pussies."
Urlacher also stated that he's friends with Bobby Wade and this rigamarole is just the typical result of "Bobby being Bobby." He did not call Bobby Wade a pussy, however.
