Things that would be less painful than the afternoon Jay Cutler is having:

-Going 12 rounds with a heavyweight boxer.
-Getting hit by a heavy duty pickup.
-Logrolling down a mountain.
-Standing in the middle of a batting cage with the pitching machine on for a few hours.
-Playing rodeo clown for an evening.
-Having a piano dropped on his head.

I don't spend a lot of time reading fantasy columns, but this quote from Brad Evans on the Chicago offensive line is gold:

I was reading the paper as I was getting my oil changed this morning and there was an article about how popular Jay Cutler is with Bears fans. It included a chart comparing Cutler to... the Beatles. Really. Apparently fans knocked down a fence at training camp so they could get closer to him.

I'm sure they have realistic expectations for the season though.

To Chicago

So, I hope no one was pinning their hopes for the Lions on acquiring Jay Cutler, because the Bears have that covered. Does that make them the favorite in the NFC North?
