Did Jay Cutler give up? QB takes heat after lost to Packers in NFC Championship

The big story after the AFC/NFC Championship games is not the upcoming Super Bowl. Its the NFC losing QB Jay Cutler and his demeanor. Cutler went into the locker room early before the end of the first half. He did return for only one series in the second half, but was pulled from finishing the game with a knee injury. Cutler stayed on the sidelines, standing on his injured knee, with a somewhat "don't care" attitude.
This demeanor left the public to speculate how hurt was he. Current and former players, sitting at home watching the championship games, took to twitter to giver their opinions of Cutler. Most were to the effect of blasting the QB for not playing when he could stand. Cutler was injured, period. We question QBs when they stay in the game hurt and cost a team the game playing hurt, then blast a QB and coaching staff to trying to win the game with a better option.

Tampa Bay Rays in talks with Manny Ramirez, Johnny Damon; Texas Rangers out on the deal






 Media in Dallas have been monitoring the Manny Ramirez deal closely. Texas Rangers GM Jon Daniels made comments during Fan Fest yesterday that they were looking to add another veteran bat to the lineup. The assumption around the local media was Manny Ramirez. Fresh off surgery and ready to prove his worth, Manny has been in talks with several teams around the league. Rumors of him going to the AL West Angels have cooled down with the signing of OF Vernon Wells, a local Arlington product. Reports have now stated that a deal has been reached between the Tampa Bay Rays, Manny Ramirez and ex-teammate Johnny Damon. ESPN.com has the story here:

 The Rangers need to realize what got them to their first World Series in franchise history... pitching. The philosophy to load the lineup with power hitters has not worked in the past, although it did provide some high scoring losses. GM Jon Daniels and team president Nolan Ryan seem to be stacking the deck for another mid-season trade for a ace pitcher rental.

Cowboys still searching for defensive coordinator; Pasqualoni hired by UCONN and Manusky courted by Chargers

  Jason Garrett's search for a new defensive coordinator is getting harder. After interviewing 49ers DC Greg Manusky, he meets with the upper brass of the San Diego Chargers. Many people assume that this will be a more attractive position with the volatility of Norv Turner as a head coach. Garrett is locked up for the next four years as head coach, or at least three in Jerry terms.

  Interim defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni was announced as the new head coach for Big East winner UCONN. You can read Jason Garrett's and Jerry Jones' comments here.


  This will be the first big decision for the new head coach and the most important one. The defense took a big decline from last season, even getting its architect fired in the process. The personnel needs changes and even scheme changes may be in order.

Roddy Beaubois Exclusive: When are you coming back?

Antonio Cromartie calls out Tom Brady; "He's an ass****"

  With the playoff showdown set, Jets vs Pats III, the trash talk has been flying back and forth. Coach Rex Ryan started his banter even before the Colts game saying nobody studies film like Peyton Manning, not even Tom Brady though he would like to think so.
  Bill Belichek, as always, has asked his team to adopt his stoic demeanor this week when baited by the press or the opposing team for headline fodder. Today things took a slight turn for the worst when Jets CB Antonio Cromartie shared his thoughts on Pats QB Tom Brady. When asked to describe him in a word, he used "asshole". He went on to say, "That's what I think about him. I don't really give a damn about him...I don't have to play against him. I play against the receivers."
  Tom Brady's response, "I've been called worse. I'm sure there is a long list of people that feel that way."
   Cromartie added that he hopes Brady throws the ball his way on Sunday. "I hope so, I really do. I hope he throws the ball 10 times my way -- more chances to make him pay."

Auburn's Nick Fairley the real winner from BCS Championship Game


 The big winner from last night's BCS Championship may have been Auburn DL Nick Fairley. After an impressive performance against the high powered Oregon offense, Fairley may have solidified the #1 pick in the upcoming NFL draft. A big performance in last year's Big 12 Championship catapulted Ndamakong Suh to the #2 pick after Sam Bradford. The 2-14 Carolina Panthers have the first pick in the upcoming. They just hired San Diego defensive coordinator Ron Rivera as the new head coach. If Andrew Luck does stay at Stanford, no doubt the new coach will be looking to improve the defense.
