What’s Wrong With Cutler
Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler throws 5 interceptions.
Dan: Cutler doesn’t have any receivers. Eddie Royal and Brandon Marshall’s numbers have gone done. I think Chicago has the worse receivers in the league.
Tony: “Shhh. If you’re very quiet you can still hear Wilbon’s screams.” Here is Cutler’s problems, 17 interceptions. He’s on pace for 32. I don’t think it was the wrong trade for Chicago.
Paul Upset About Firing?
Chris Paul upset that franchise fired Byron Scott.
Dan: Scott did this when he won coach of the year. Now the last five coach of the year winner are out of league.
Tony: Paul should not have been consulted. He’s good but he hasn’t done anything. The gold accusations are disturbing.
No One Should Wear #23?
LeBron James states Michael Jordan’s number should be retired.
Dan: I thought it was a very cool thing and a subtle thing as James grows to an icon. One of the things I thought was in play was a black athlete standing up for another black athlete.
Tony: I think it’s a conspiracy. Dr. J wore 6 when he came to Philadelphia. This is an encrypted sign that James is gone but doesn’t want to talk about it.
Victim Wants Players To Play?
Victim of armed robbery wants Tennessee players to play football.
Dan: Is it unfair to wonder, since the victim says let them play, what went on?
Tony: This is not an either or question. It’s a rabid fan that wants to help his team and we don’t know all the facts. What you have to do at the University level is you suspend them indefinitely. The victim can say what he wants but you still must investigate the incident.
Fair Of NFL TO End Campaign?
Dan: I think this is one of the coolest stories this year. It’s a great marketing ploy.
Tony: I’m not a rum drinker myself and that pose looks like a guy is peeing on a fire hydrant. I understand why Celek did it and I understand why the NFL cracked down on it.

How Important Is This Game?
New England versus Indianapolis Colts.
Dan: I don’t think it’s a big deal for either team. It’s too early for a big game. Maybe the Pats want the victory for home field in the playoffs.
Tony: I think it’s more important for the Pats because they Jets are close and the Jets have already beaten the Patriots. When have you ever seen Pats plus 3? I don’t think it’s the biggest game of the year but I’m going to watch.
Should TCU Play For Title?
Gary Danielson says any one loss SEC team should have a shot at national championship over an undefeated TCU or Boise State.
Dan:
Tony: Florida and Alabama, if one is undefeated and Texas is undefeated, I have no problem if they are in the National Championship. However, I think Florida and Alabama have been helped by the referees. I don’t think a one-loss Florida and Alabama team should leap frog over an undefeated over TCU or Boise State.
Excited For Fight?
Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto
Dan: I’m buying the hype. This is a great fight. Cotto lost one fight to a guy who was cheater. Pacquiao has a greater entourage than the one on HBO.
Tony: His entourage is a King Tut situation. If he dies in his sleep, the guy that sleep at the foot of his bed has to be buried with him.
Freddy Roach also says Pacquiao is one of the best five fighters of all-time. That’s a shame he’s fighting now.

Report Card!
Grading NFL’s Fine For Chad Ochocinco’s Bribe?
Dan: D. I wish the commissioner would have fined Chad a dollar.
Tony: D-. It’s smart and funny and I forgive anything if it’s smart and funny. The commissioner went way over the line with this.
Grading Wade’s dunk in Game Against Cavs?
Dan: A++. That’s the biggest dunk and best dunk of the year. I was there. It was awesome.
Tony: C. Everyday, 37 greats dunks are shown on thousands of highlight shows. The heat lost by seven, that was an eight point dunk.
Grading Don Nelson/M. Ellis Feud?
Dan: F-. This is a story that typifies that no one wants to be in Golden State. You read the quotes and there’s not much there.
Tony: F. This is a complete and utter non-story. This happens in every work place in America.
Grading Cartwheel Showdown.
A goalie does cartwheel before penalty shot and then player does cartwheels after making the shot.
Dan: A++.
Tony: A+. My only only problem with this is every graduate of Bingham loathes Stonybrook.
CARTWHEEL SHOWDOWN
Reali: Dan gets an A- and Tony gets an incomplete because he didn’t cover the Miami Heat game.
