Poor Guy

He's taking one hell of a beating but when you earn that reputation

as being soft this is what happens. A few of the players that are talking

that hasn't experienced this type of injury shouldn't be talking but i do

remember Philip Rivers situation was worse a few years ago and he

still battled valiantly in the AFC Championship game a few years back

against the Patriots and Heath Evans stated on First Take this morning that Drew Brees has played

on a bad knee all season and never used it as an excuse.

Speaking as a parent of a teen who is now rehabing from a knee injury I can see the man's reason for not continuing, but the other side is that this was a division championship game-I think he should have stuck it out I guess his pride wouldn't continue to let him play shitty like he was

Truthfully that was probably the bottom line although it may have been Lovie's decision.

Cutler was already having a terrible game while healthy and Lovie may not have wanted

him out there at all with a gimpy knee to play worse.

True He was fighting a losing battle anyway No chance to win that game.

I can see Chicago fans to Cutler.

Actually I'm just glad the media didn't find a damn way to blame the loss on Obama You know they blame my Prez for every damn thing anyway They probably wanna say he jinxed the bears, but can't find a way to make it seem reasonable

You're exactly right. He's not even allowed to take a vacation and Michelle is not

allowed to wear a pretty dress without being criticized.

Last I checked........Rivers played in the game after he was injured because his team won. The game in which he was injured he did NOT return.......but I guess that lil fact is unimportant.

I was finna say that too. Plus, it wasn't Cutler OR Lovie's decision. If the doctor says you can't go, you ain't going. And all this BS about his demeanor on the sidelines is nonsense too.

You may be correct it was a few years ago but the whole Cutler crap is irrelevant to me

anyway. The story of the weekend should be the Steelers vs Packers in Super Bowl 45.

That little fact is important.

Barack Obama won't be attending the Super Bowl, but that doesn't mean he won't get a chance to see the Green Bay Packers in person.

The president said he would go the Super Bowl if the Chicago Bears won the NFC championship (like he predicted), but his travel plans were altered when Charles Woodson(notes) and the Packers got the win at Soldier Field. No matter, says Woodson. The Packers will see Obama when they make their visit to Washington, D.C., as Super Bowl champions.

In a locker room speech following the team's 21-14 victory, Woodson said referenced how the team altered Air Force One's itenirary. "The president don't want to come watch us win the Super Bowl?" he said. "Guess what? We'll go see him." (You can watch the clip at Packers.com.)

The assembled Packers team responded with hoots and hollers before joining together to do a "1-2-3, White House" cheer.

Good thing Tom Jackson isn't the president, or else he'd have come out today and said he only picked the Packers t...to victory.

[Rewind: Obama talks some trash with Kobe]

In retrospect, Obama announcing his intentions to go to the Super Bowl may have been the kiss of death for the Bears. The president has been a sort of sporting albatross to his adopted city since taking the oath of office. His last-minute speech to the IOC failed to deliver the 2016 Olympics, despite the fact that Chicago was a heavy favorite. The Bulls lost when he attended one of the team's games against the Washington Wizards in 2009, and the South Side White Sox were overpowered by Stephen Strasburg when Obama attended a Nationals game last June. It wasn't until the president left his seat that Chicago scored the game-winning run.

Woodson's locker-room comments appeared to be in good fun, yet there was definitely a hint of "I told you so" in his words. He may get another chance to prove the president wrong in two weeks. Obama has said in the past that he's a Steelers fan. Can another anti-Packers pick be far behind?

Exactly.
