Jay Cutler on Mike Tice Moment: “I don’t have to sit by him the whole game, do I?”
Jay Cutler sat on the bench last night in Dallas, his offensive coordinator Mike Tice came over to chat, and then Cutler got up and walked away. Jay Cutler being Jay Cutler. Humorous! This incident wouldn’t become a thing, though – Tony Romo tossed five interceptions and Dez Bryant had the worst night of his career – because Chicago won, handily.
Afterward, the media asked Cutler about the Tice incident. Here’s how the Q&A session went:
Q: Cameras showed you sitting down, Tice walking up and you walking away. Is that about communication?
JC: It’s not anything. I don’t have to sit by him the whole game, do I?
Q: Were you upset with him at that point?
JC: No. What are we looking for here.
Q: It looked like you blew him off?
JC: We can’t read into everything. I get you guys gotta sell papers, it’s tough out there. You can’t blow up every headline. Things happen during football games, you know, just because I walk off and get water doesn’t mean much.
Love me some Jay Cutler. He’s rapidly become the best QB quote in the league. And yes, I’m a closet Bears fan this season. One who couldn’t resist the lure of Chicago at 29:1 to win the Super Bowl.

I think Jay Cutler is a turd. I despise the Bears. I do, however, admire his “Fuck You” attitude towards the stupid media.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:33 AM
So about Romo being the second best QB in Cowboy history.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:35 AM
LEAVE JAY ALONE!
How bout a post on Stafford’s chins?

October 2nd, 2012 at 10:37 AM
So about Romo being the second best QB in Cowboy history.
you aren’t going to believe this, but there are a lot of insufferable cowboy fans. And a great many of those were super keen to fire up the Tony Romo League MVP 2012 Bandwagon after week 1. And they refused to have it derailed, and forced everybody they could to comment on whether his MVP victory was likely, or highly likely.
I’m not one of those people. But this is a cry for help.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:37 AM
Cutlerfucker will only sit next to competent offensive coordinators, brah.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:38 AM
I root for the Bears most of the time, but I have to imagine that hanging out with Jay and Kristin would be one of the stages of hell right? Horrifically putrid human beings.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:38 AM

Well, not anymore. The whole world knows now.
The second best thing about that gif is Tice’s hipster glasses.

why the NFL is so great – huge, knee jerk reactions to week one … one month later … BUM!
It feels as if the Jets win over the Bills happened last year.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:39 AM
Ratio of Bears posts to Jets post should be through the roof going forward.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:39 AM

No way.

I was against the Jets in SF game. I’m against them this weekend. Got -9.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:41 AM
It’s great when it’s Cowboys fans falling off the ledge.
Though nothing might compare at this point to Simmons proclaiming Russell Wilson the next big thing going into the season and now he’s about to lose his starting position. Stick to the Saved By The Bell references, Bill.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:41 AM
I almost feel bad for Cutler, sometimes.
The guy was born with a face that just makes you want to take a swing at him. That can’t be easy.

October 2nd, 2012 at 10:42 AM

because Mike Tice is his titular offensive coordinator? Because that meathead pretends to call the plays, and Jay Cutler has to help with the ruse, but doesn’t want to?
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:43 AM
Jay Cutler’s a cat, and cats can be moody towards their owners.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:43 AM
Love that Cutler shits all over the media for making something out of nothing.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:43 AM
Simmons’ insistence on using the Mike Lombardi “blue chip player” schtick has become annoying. He needs to stop that.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:44 AM
not to defend Simmons, but he made a wrong prediction. So what? Doesn’t that happen to everyone, everwhere?
Jets beat writers were saying 9-7.
Peter King had the Jets losing the season opener by 2 TDs.
How many MLB pundits had the Orioles in the postseason?
What this actually means: Nobody knows anything about anything and sports are unpredictable.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:44 AM
Actually, yeah. That too.
Mike Tice is not a good offensive coordinator, IMO.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:45 AM
it did.
/happy fiscal new year!

He’s on TV presently and the rest are not so…..yeah.
Gruden on a player who just fumbled:
He shows heart, he’s a blue collar working man player, legs like Atlas, knowledge of Manāt, greatest ball protecting player since Jim Brown, truly the greatest human ever, after the game he can fuck my wife.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:46 AM
I thought Tice was an offensive line coach and former horrible HC? When did he become a coordinator? He didnt call plays in Minny, did he?
At least Jay is comfortable being a prick, be who you are brah.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:47 AM
Mike Tice is like the real life Dauber. I still wish he was head coach of the Vikings.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:47 AM
ZOMG a NONtroversy?!?! ZOMG!!!

I really hate being on the same said as JMac, given how much I hate him, but seriously…Bill Simmons is a humorist. He’s not an NFL pundit. He says stupid stuff all the time, mostly jokes. People like him, quite a few. Most people here hate him. Very few ignore him.
Also, I hate JMac with the intensity of a thousand suns. I really need to look in a mirror and convince myself to get a grip. This is not a joke. I have become unhinged.

October 2nd, 2012 at 10:48 AM
There’s a difference between a prediction and writing a trolling smarmy I GUESS maybe joking article calling Wilson the best signal caller in the league and predicting Seattle to come out of the NFC.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:49 AM
If it were a one-time bit here it’d be easier to ignore but this is his thing and I think on some level it matters a little bit, he’s just lucky the defense scored twice allowing their front-running offense to feel good about themselves afterwards
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:49 AM
not to defend Simmons, but he made a wrong prediction. So what? Doesn’t that happen to everyone, everwhere?
Usually predictions are based on players you’ve seen before/facts/inside knowledge, right? When Peter King makes a dumb prediction, at least I know he’s seen the player/team play. I doubt Simmons saw Wilson play one college game, as he has admitted that he doesn’t care for CFB.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:50 AM
Count me as a person who has never, ever finished one of his “pieces”. I genuinely cannot stand the guy, and find is style to be stale and predictable. Him and Reilly and a few other asshats can go eat doodoo for all I care.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:50 AM
I thought Tice was an offensive line coach and former horrible HC? When did he become a coordinator? He didnt call plays in Minny, did he?
He has never called plays before. And somebody on the team is the “passing game coordinator,” and that person calls the plays. Mike Tice was the Bears’ (beyond terrible) OLine coach, and the Bears (being so cheap) didn’t want to hire another new OC, so they promoted Mike Tice, who is trying to line up his second shot at a head coaching job, via the good ole boy network.
In advance, I weep for the team that hires him.

October 2nd, 2012 at 10:52 AM
It’s always nice to have friends in high places. Cutler and Bates are runnnig that offense, Tice is probably just in charge of finding Webb’s shoes when he misplaces them.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:52 AM
And Kristen kinda blew it right? She was set to be as big as K.Kardashian or at least Paris Hilton but refused to put out that sex tape. I wonder if she regrets that?
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:52 AM

because, I think 99.9% of the media asks dumb questions to drum up faux outrage/controversy
what should it restrict its questions to?
good ones?
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:52 AM
I’m with Cutler here. Holy shit, teammates get pissed at each other, players get pissed at coaches and vice versa. Nobody knows how well these guys know each other or work together. Cutler may have a punchable face but he’s become too much of an easy target for the media.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:53 AM
The press can ask whatever it wants. But Cutler is well within his rights to call them out on the narrative they’re trying to create. Not sure any other QB would have to deal with questions like that simply for going to grab a drink of water.
Everything that’s used to make Jay Cutler look like a whiny bitch is the same shit used to enshrine Manning, Brady, and Brees as “fiery leaders.”
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:54 AM
we watched the game on a theater screen at a local movie place, the kind that sells real food and drinks. very cool
anyway, we had fun with gruden. yes, romo is so tough to come back from throwing INTs to throw completions. everyone should throw INTs so they can be praised for being able to bounce back
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:54 AM
Non-troversy. NON-TROVERSY. Come on man.
October 2nd, 2012 at 10:54 AM
I think the “mandatory press conferences” and media meetings between players and the media have hurt. These guys have to come up with different ways to ask the same dumb questions to the same players every single day.

But that’s bullshit. It shouldn’t work that way. It’s not Cutler’s fault is line is a turnstile. If you act a certain way you should get called out on it or you should, regardless of “rings, bitch.”

October 2nd, 2012 at 11:01 AM
I may be in the minority here, but I long for the day when we have games and then boxscores. Thats it. No interviews, no post game pressers, nothing. If a team wants to release statements on their website, then great. Other than that, sports in general has way too many middle men telling me what I should think and know about a sporting event I just watched. Dont. Care.
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:02 AM
If this kid ever figures out the mental aspect/leadership the quarterback position requires he will easily surge to one of the top QB spots in the league. Until then he’s just the same inconsistent and maddeningly frustrating headcase he’s always been.

Its incredible that a team winning a super bowl elevates that team’s QB to elite status despite being the same exact person and player before and after.

October 2nd, 2012 at 11:05 AM
Butters – I’ll cede that side of the argument, but you have to cede the very real fact that it is nothing short of inescapable (aside from muting the TV, but seriously, thats not a real alternative). I watched last years rose bowl without any commentary. Somehow it was removed from the feed and all I got, for the entire game, was the game and crowd sounds and it was glorious.

Manning was perpetually one game away from getting there after dominating everyone each season. Cutler isn’t even close to that. That’s a horrific comparison and you know it.
Also, Rhodes got robbed of the Superbowl MVP that year.

I have never been able to wager on teams I root for as I can’t look at their performance objectively. It affects decision making. It also adds a level of stress to watching the game that I’m not interested in experiencing.
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:10 AM
oh heel, did you ever see the nfl game in 1980 that had no commentary?
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:11 AM
Simmons found his success being “the voice of the fan”. I don’t view him as a comedian at all. It’s not like Simmons is doing open mike nights at your local comedy cabaret to work on his act.
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:12 AM
What does this have to do with postgame press conferences? And announcers have always talked about the side stories of the game since the era of just boxscores never existed
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:12 AM
*so the era of just boxscores never existed
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:12 AM
I’m old enough to remember this. I knew the Jets were involved, but I couldn’t remember the other team.
I just remember my Dad thinking the “no announcers” thing was a great idea.

October 2nd, 2012 at 11:14 AM
Aikman would be dead behind that OL. The fact that Romo manufactured 300 yds on 75% completion should say something about how good he is. He isn’t Atlas.
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:14 AM
unless you are watching by yourself, who lstens to the commentary anyway? you have a few people over or a party for the game, do you shush people so you can listen? of course not. i just have never felt like it matters much who’s calling the game. there are some i like to listen to, but none who ruin it
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:16 AM
Yes. And my main point was that Simmons’ insight and opinions on sports have as much credibility as any Joe Blow from Bumblefuck, USA on Twitter. For fuck’s sake, his wife did better picking against the spread one season. By a substantial margin.
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:16 AM

October 2nd, 2012 at 11:18 AM
I am not going to say he had a good game, but at least 2 and maybe 3 of those INTs were not on him.
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:18 AM
Butters – the point I am making is there is just too much clutter in sports, and its largely over-inflated networks trying to catch eyeballs and sell add space, that they often miss the point that sometimes we just want to see the damn game. The point about the postgame material is that there is too much of it and its largely meaningless once you get past boxscores and drive summaries. I wasn’t saying that part is inescapable. Whats inescapable is Grudens yapper and Tirico botching 40% of the calls last night. THAT part is inescapable, aside from muting the TV.

The local NBC guy here started naming winter storms a couple years ago. It was stupid. One time, when we were supposed to get snow, the “storm” came through dry. Everyone was bashing him on his blog and his response was, “How can you not see there was a storm? It was windy.”

I know you won’t like what I’m about to say but ….
This is part of the reason I love soccer. There are no commercials except for halftime (can’t vouch for MLS, I don’t watch high school sports). You get in, know you’ve got about 48 minutes of straight sports watching, then fifteen minutes to go take a shit and get a snack while the talking heads babble at halftime, then settle in for another 48 minutes or so.
Plus so often I have to resort to watching foreign feeds that I can’t understand the announcers, but I don’t need to, the game speaks for itself. I can listen to music while watching it. All I’m interested in is the sport, not the jackasses talking over it or the plays getting missed because FOX cut back from commercial too late.

It’s better than calling every snow storm that hits DC or NYC “Snowmageddeon” or “Snowpocalypse” I suppose.
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:22 AM
I think after the third turnover directly caused by a bumbling teammate, he entered the Cutler Zone and said to hell with it. If his teammates are going to the a black hole of shitty play, why not just fling it around and get off the field?
I don’t blame him a bit. I hope he signs elsewhere (KC or Denver, perhaps) to finish his career. He’s earned that, I think.
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:23 AM
Cowboy – thats why I mute soccer when i watch it. Spotify and Soccer is a recipe for success on Saturday mornings.

I hope he signs elsewhere (KC or Denver, perhaps) to finish his career. He’s earned that, I think.
yeah, I don’t blame him one iota for not wanting to do Dallas any contract favors. He’ll make at least as much on the open market, and maybe get a chance to go somewhere good. Probably not, though. If he leaves, and ends up on Kansas City, that won’t be somewhere good.
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:25 AM

And he was viewed as a choke artist who bitched and pouted on the sidelines after every loss. Manning Face was an actual thing, and networks made sure to focus on his mug after every dropped pass or INT or INT. Where do we see this now? Hmmm….
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:28 AM
I would welcome Romo to the Raiders with open arms…although, it would probably not be his ideal situation.
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:28 AM
Yeah I’m just saying there’s a big difference between that failure being in the AFC title game or divisional round each year as opposed to every other game in the season like Cutler.
Manning had a reputation of getting his team to the penultimate step then falling short. Cutler has a reputation for just falling short.
October 2nd, 2012 at 11:29 AM
And he was viewed as a choke artist who bitched and pouted on the sidelines after every loss.
pretty sure manning was regarded as the best QB in the league before he won the super bowl. I’m basing this largely on the fact that he, you know, won 2 MVP’s before he won the Super Bowl.
