What Makes Jay Drink? ProFootballTalk points out that the following passage was hastily removed from a story by a Denver FOX affiliate on Jay Cutler’s disharmonious relationship with the Broncos: “The source said there are concerns about Cutler’s consumption of alcohol, and ‘that he’s not that sharp. That scared the crap out of McDaniels,’ the source said.” If true, it means Cutler could have been deceiving all of us with the diabeetus bidness. We’ll have to check with our sedulous army of spies in case one spots him eating a slice of chocolate raspberry truffle at The Cheesecake Factory.

“There are concerns about Cutler’s consumption of alcohol, and ‘that he’s not that sharp.”
Doesn’t that describe most of the players in the league?
I mean that can easily be applied to Orton, Collins, Pacman, Travis Henry and a plethora of others.
The difference is that Cutler is a good young, pro bowl QB. I’d rather have a drunk, dumb, pro-bowl QB than Kellen Clemens. Please let the Jets get him.

Makes sense, save for the fact that the Boy Genius Coach forgot to put a package together to get Cassel to Denver. He screwed it up, and has an drunk, stupid diabetic QB on his hands who is also now angry. Well played, Josh!
March 25th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Pissy, whiney, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life young man.
March 25th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Let’s not kid ourselves, Cutler does look like a fuckin’ moron.
March 25th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
for those of you scoring at home, “sedulous” is a 700 SAT Verbal score synonym for persistent.
well played.
who sez the internet’s destroying the English language? ksk just secured my vote for 2009’s best sports blog.
March 25th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
An alcoholic, diabetic quarterback and a clueless idiot for a coach. Fuck my life.
March 25th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
“for those of you scoring at home”
…or even if you’re alone!

Here’s a tip, Jay:
Whenever I get sloppy-drunk in Denver, I always chalk it up to altitude sickness.
March 25th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Over/Under on how many games it takes for Cutler to call a deep out pattern and fire the ball into McDaniels nads? I say Q1 of the first regular season game.
/drinks fifth of scotch

i mean he looks like he is constantly hung over, but i always assumed that’s just how he looks. Plus if i had to cover for denver’s shit ass defense all season, i’d be drink constantly too. not to say that i dont anyway.
March 25th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
My only concern about Cutler’s “consumption of alcohol” would be if he did NOT drink…
March 25th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Mamatard, c’mon, at least there are some good looking women in Denver.
March 25th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Having seen Cutler at several Nuggets games last year, i can say that every time i saw him he was TANKED, so this doesn’t surprise me in the least.
March 25th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
That picture looks like Sean Penn got hit in the face with a crowbar.

@ LaFavre
True, but very few of them are single. There’s a reason people call it “Menver”.

Nice photo of Simple Jay there.
“You m-m-m-mmm-m-make me haaaaaaa-ppy!”
March 25th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
Hmmm…The Bears need him so we have two drunk qb’s.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
@J4B – That long? I say first day of camp, right as McDaniels exits his office.
Oops! Sorry coach, my bad. Brandon, why didn’t you catch it?
March 25th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
I’d trade for a QB with diabeetus and a drinking problem immediately. If I were the Lions.
I feel like that could be a perfect situation. Nothing is more depressing than Detroit and nothing is more depressed than Jay Cutler.
March 26th, 2009 at 12:44 am
How dysfunctional does an organization have to be for the FANS to be taking bets on when the franchise QB will be throwing the football at the head coach’s nutsack?
March 26th, 2009 at 2:51 am
Hey now, if you are lucky enough to be diabetic it does not mean the alcohol consumption has to stop. Good beers are usually sugary so they are more trouble than than it’s worth, but goddamn does Beam and diet coke make a good drink.
March 26th, 2009 at 3:00 am
Just as an FYI: that picture of Cutler is from 2006, and Cutler’s diabetes diagnosis didn’t come down till 2008.
March 26th, 2009 at 3:19 am
We all know Cutler drank himself to tears the night he learned McDaniels tried to trade him. Then attempted to cut himself with his insulin monitor.
March 26th, 2009 at 3:22 am
When does the season start?
March 26th, 2009 at 7:44 am
I wonder what Cutler’s drink of choice cold be. I’ve got $40 on Appletini.
March 26th, 2009 at 8:50 am
Let’s not forget that this is Denver we’re talking about. That’s where Brian Griese went to the Pro-Bowl despite the fact that he kept mysteriously injuring himself in ways no sober man would ever think to. Then there was Jake Plummer, and he came from Tempe so you know that he was an accomplished drinker. I’m just saying that either a) starting a drinking rumor would be a good way to alienate a QB from a fan base or b) something in that city is causing QBs to hit the sauce.
March 26th, 2009 at 9:24 am
Christ on crutches, I am tired of hearing about the Cutler-McDaniels saga. Thanks Jay, for taking over where PKings’s love interest left off.
March 26th, 2009 at 9:47 am
Drunk and stupid worked for years for Farve.
March 26th, 2009 at 10:16 am
@dAndy: No way. He went to Vanderbilt. He’s a mint julep man, no doubt.
March 26th, 2009 at 10:24 am
Actually, I could see Cutler’s punk ass getting lit on something even more girly like a Sex on the Beach.
March 26th, 2009 at 10:26 am
Good God could you imagine the drunken debauchery (sulkery?) Him and Orton could get into if you somehow magically ended up in Chicago? The slutty bimbos wouldn’t stand a chance
March 26th, 2009 at 10:59 am
Well done, Otto.
You make my pee-pee maker t-t-tingle

Anyone else remember Wilford Brimley’s interrogation of Kramer?
Diabetruss Jay better watch his ass around the office. And his blood sugar.
March 26th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
@ Jackin — Simpsons did it. [kind of]
March 26th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Um, but what if all coaches wanted to drop players for being morons who like to drank?
March 26th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Jake Plummer and Brian Greise say you’re stealing their schtick, Jay.
