Jay Cutler, the Chicago Bears’ QB, apparently got cold feet and dumped his fiancee, C-list actress Kristin Cavallari, over the weekend. Putting aside the obvious jokes – how long did it take his cement feet to turn cold; how many other things in his life will Cutler not finish – if Cutler is a private person, didn’t he know from the beginning that he was getting involved with a very public person?

“I never felt those two had much in common,” said the Bears insider. “Plus Jay is such a private guy. … He hated all the hoopla and press attention Kristin brought with her. He doesn’t even like having to deal with the sports media — let alone the world of celebrity press, the tabloids and stuff like TMZ.”

It’s not like Cutler hadn’t seen her on TV or in magazines for the last few years. Considering Cavallari’s life for the last 5-6 years has been celebrity press and tabloids, and photographers have been trailing the couple for the last 10 months, why get engaged in the first place? He had to know what he was getting into, right?

According to E! Online:

The source said the couple had been disagreeing over some issues recently, particularly how Cavallari would balance her career while living in Chicago with Cutler during the football season.

I know the NASCAR media hates it when the off-the-track lives of drivers are brought into the spotlight, but there’s no way Cutler will be able to dodge questions about this once the lockout is lifted and the media moves in.

And now, the fun part – the Bears open vs Atlanta, at New Orleans, vs Green Bay. When Chicago starts 0-3, and fans remember the disastrous NFC title game and how Cutler dumped his fiancee, expect the backlash to provide plenty of material for this website. [E Online]
