Cutler And Me

Jay Cutler has led the Bears to a 3-1 record to start the NFL season. With a reputation for having whined his way out of Denver to join the Bears, I occasionally find myself thinking "Whatever you do, Jay, just don't start acting up. Things will screw up from time to time, your teammates will make mistakes, you'll make mistakes, a losing streak will happen, maybe a long one. What will matter most is your character, how you keep your poise and optimism during those times." And then I head into another week, face a little adversity, and black clouds swell up like a summer squall. When that happens, maybe it's time to pretend that I'm Jay Cutler, and the profound disappointment that people would feel from the outside. That kind of perspective is worth it, even if it comes without millions of dollars!
