Jay Cutler became just about as big a story as a quarterback from a losing team could possibly be when his Bears lost on Sunday. After tearing his MCL, Cutler left the NFC Championship Game against the Packers. Cutler was criticized and scrutinized for his perceived lack of toughness, because I tell you what: the only ligament that matters is the NFL (National Football Ligament).
Drew Brees Played With Torn MCL, Says Don’t Judge Jay Cutler
There's bound to be a reprise of this criticism, now that Saints quarterback Drew Brees has told Shutdown Corner that he played games with a torn MCL. It's worth stressing that Brees spoke in defense of Cutler and placed MCL injuries within proper context:
No, it’s not fair [to question players’ toughness] unless you know exactly what it is. [...] In some cases I know players that have torn an MCL and been out for six weeks. In some cases it’s four weeks. In some cases it’s two. And sometimes you’re able to fight through and play. None of us know exactly what is, nobody except Jay Cutler and the Bears training staff.The difference between a minor and major MCL injury is as large a difference between... well, minor and major, but regardless, you can bet that demand will once again be high for name-calling ammunition. If you’re going to take aim at Cutler again, Internet, then here is your arsenal:
- Fraud
- Joke
- Clown
- Clownfraud
- Jokefraud
- Chokefraud
- Coward
- Wimpfraud
- Jokeclown
- Shamejoke
- Badword
- Bust
- Flop
- Clownflop
- Verbnoun
- Verbclown
The trick, as you see, is generally to avoid words with two or more syllables. It cuts to the quick that way, and it isn’t worth using any more syllables on a jokeclownwimpshamebustchokeflopfraud of Cutler’s ilk anyhow.
