...and Josh McDaniel is no better. And I think Pat Bowlen has lost his mind. Let's step through this for a second. My reactions are in this color.
1. In January, Pat Bowlen (owner of the Broncos) fired Mike Shanahan, a two time Super Bowl Coach. Oh crap!
2. Then, Bowlen hired rookie (untested) head coach Josh McDaniel from New England. What the...???
3. In February, McDaniel tried to trade Pro Bowl QB Cutler for Matt Cassel, backup for the Patriots. Are you freakin' serious?
4. Cutler proceeded to pout about that for the next 6 weeks and act like a whiny little turdsack (hence the title of this post). Grow the f___ up!
5. McDaniel acted like a little punk who was trying to start his own "inner circle" even though he doesn't really know how because he was never in the "inner circle" in New England. Who the hell does he think he is?
6. Over the last 10 days or so, the Broncos say they tried to contact Jay and he wouldn't talk to them. Jay says they never called. As the Broncos Turn...
7. Yesterday, Bowlen traded Jay to Chicago probably because he just couldn't stand the whining. Good riddance of the whiny little turdsack! But Kyle Orton now??? Really???
I have a feeling the Broncos are screwed!

What's Wrong With This Picture?
Check this news story out from ESPN. So now the Jets players are bad-mouthing Favre?
Really?
You have got to be kidding me.
They were 4-12 last year and they want to lay their suckage this season at the feet of a Hall of Fame QB?
Really?
They were obviously much improved over last year as they finished 9-7.
Why don't they take a look at the defense?
And why does Thomas Jones think he had such a good season?
Maybe because teams had to worry about Favre? And now Jones is one of the assholes saying bad things about Favre in the media. Really? What a jerk! What an ingrate! Favre is one of the toughest players in the NFL and was playing with a torn biceps tendon for the last few games of the season. Let's see Jones do something that courageous.
Speaking of courage...what about the coward on the Jets team who is saying negative things about Favre in the media and wants to remain anonymous? Really? Supposedly the coward is a "veteran" Jets player. Must mean he sucks since the Jets were so horrible before they got Favre.
If Favre retires this year (which he shouldn't), I will blame it on the Jets players. And if he retires, I hope Thomas Jones and the Jets never win another game.

Go Chiefs!
I just realized the Chiefs are playing the Patriots today in Foxboro. I hate the Patriots and I grew up with the Chiefs. I know the odds are long, but it would just be the coolest if the Chiefs won.
On another sports note, how 'bout that Jayhawk football team?
GO JAYHAWKS!

The NFL Season is Underway
This is a strange one for me. I am no longer a Packers fan. I am now a Jets fan. J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets! I just couldn't stomach the way the Packers treated Brett Favre, so "Sayonara!" I'm still a Broncos fan, but it seems like most of my favorite players have either retired or been traded away. Cases in point: Rod Smith, John Lynch, and Dominique Foxworth. I guess I'm almost to the point that it doesn't really matter as long as the Patriots lose!

Favre: Packers' $20M offer to stay retired may be best
Brett Favre, convinced that Green Bay will never permit him to compete to be its starting quarterback and recognizing its unwillingness to ship him to an NFC North rival, is actively considering an offer from the Packers that would provide the quarterback a paid lifetime role with the franchise that would not involve playing.
"There isn't a perfect solution to this, but [Packers president] Mark Murphy is at least trying," Favre told ESPN's Ed Werder via text message on Thursday night. "We know what they want and where I stand. His solution, although awkward and unsettling for most, may be the best in the end.''
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the potential contract could benefit Favre and the team. More importantly, it also could resolve their standoff over Favre's retirement.
"Brett needs to stay a part of football," McCarthy said after practice in Green Bay on Friday morning. "Obviously, he's a part of the Green Bay Packers. This is really something that's been out there all along."
McCarthy said the deal, which was interpreted by some as a last-minute bribe to keep Favre away from camp, actually has been on the table for months.
McCarthy said he first heard about it at Favre's retirement news conference in March.
Favre could be forced to report to camp unless the Packers reach agreement with him on a nonplaying role before commissioner Roger Goodell reinstates him. He has at least until Friday to resolve this standoff after Goodell opted earlier on Thursday to delay granting the quarterback his reinstatement one day.
"Once he's reinstated, Brett's going in, and once that happens Packerland becomes Disneyland -- although that's not what Brett wants for his teammates,'' Favre's agent, James "Bus" Cook, told ESPN. "He wants them to be successful and do well. But that's what happens if this thing doesn't get resolved, and he decides to report."
While Favre had a lengthy discussion with Goodell on Thursday, a source close to the quarterback told ESPN there was no dialogue with the Packers. The New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the only teams that have made direct inquiries about trading for Favre.
Favre had reserved a charter plane to fly him to Green Bay Thursday so he could report if he had been reinstated by Goodell. When that did not occur, Favre postponed the trip to remain in Hattiesburg, Miss., while awaiting Goodell's approval.
"He's ready to go report, but you have to understand he's been told the job is not open to competition,'' Cook said. "He's been told, 'If you come up here, it's not going to be like it was. You are going to be holding clipboard. You're going to be the backup.' Given those things, would he rather decide to just stay at home and be affiliated with a team he loves with his whole heart and soul rather than go play someplace they tell him to go?''
Favre's first choice is to play for the Packers, a team for which he has started an NFL record 275 consecutive games. Once the Packers refused to accommodate him, Favre informed the team he wanted to play for another team in the division -- believed to be the Minnesota Vikings -- because he is familiar with Brad Childress' coaching staff and would be able to play against opponents he is comfortable competing against.
"My intentions have been to play, and with Green Bay," Favre told Werder. "They say no, so I still want to play in this division for obvious reasons, which I made clear to management. If they won't let me play in Green Bay, let me play against you. That's where I am.''
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Thursday that Packers officials have had internal discussions about trading Favre to the Minnesota Vikings or Chicago Bears as a "last resort" to resolve the smoldering controversy.
But Packers general manager Ted Thompson said earlier this week that he would not consider trading Favre to one of Green Bay's NFC North division rivals. Then on Wednesday night, multiple reports surfaced that the team had offered to pay Favre up to $20 million to stay retired.
Cook described Favre as mystified by the team's stance.
"It's painfully clear the Packers do not want Brett back, but they will take him back once they have no choice,'' Cook said. "If the commissioner reinstates him, they have to take him back but they've said, 'Brett your job is to sit on this bench.' And that's where we are unless we make other arrangements that Brett would be involved with the Packers from now on but not as a player."

Favre is back!
I don't know where he'll be playing, but it looks like he's coming back. Here's the story.
Friday, July 25, 2008
They told Brett Favre what?
I gotta be up front...I don't like change. And I'm sure it won't surprise anyone who knows me that I cried when Brett Favre retired. So I was beyond elated when I started hearing rumors that Favre might return. I sort of felt sorry for the Packers and Aaron Rodgers because it put them in an awkward position, but I figured they would work it out. And maybe they still will.
But earlier today, after hearing the reports on ESPN that Favre told Packers GM Ted Thompson that he planned to report to training camp, I began hearing the reports that the Packers told Favre that if he does, he will be the #2 quarterback.
Brett. Favre. backing. up. Aaron. f_ing.Rodgers.
Are they serious? I know it's all just negotiating tactics, but my respect for the Packers organization just went down faster than the Titanic. That's just such a ridiculous concept.
I would just love to see the guy play some more. As far as I am concerned, he is the most exciting player in the NFL. Whoever he ends up playing for, I will be cheering him on. I sincerely hope it's the Pack, but that looks unlikely at this point.
