Jay Cutler on Mike Martz, Vandy, and Crashing Media Day
The vibes in Miami are high, but the security at Super Bowl Media Day is even higher. Big Cat and PFT Commenter went to extreme lengths to infiltrate the event, hiring a professional prosthetics team to transform them into elderly observers named Hyman Roth and Donna Gruden. While Big Cat managed to breeze through security by weaponizing a lanyard and a fake ID, PFT Commenter found himself in a standoff with a police officer over the structural integrity of his credential.
Big CatLanyards are the key to getting into any event
When you have a lanyard, people think you mean something. Like that was really the big key because I flashed it. When you flash a lanyard, people are like, well, that guy knows what he's doing.
After getting sniffed out by a security guard who noticed PFT Commenter’s ID was literally taped to his cardigan, the situation escalated into an official trespass. PFT Commenter tried to leverage the moment into a permanent athletic upgrade for his permanent record.
PFT CommenterI wanted to be 5'10" in an official police record so I could be officially 5'10" forever
All I wanted from that interaction [with police] at the time was just to have my information put in an official police record That says that I'm 5'10"... Because at that time, from that moment on, I am officially 5'10".
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
The guys are feeling the heat in Miami, and not just from the sun. Hank put the Patriots' future on the Hot Seat following the retirement of legendary offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia. It’s a dark day in Foxborough that might have ripple effects for QB1.
HankDante Scarnecchia's retirement makes Tom Brady less likely to return to the Patriots
Dante Scarnecchia, the Patriots offensive line coach, legend of the game, retired today. [If we're doing percentages], I would say that Dante Czarnecki retiring takes that percentage [of Brady returning] down.
Big Cat shifted the focus to college hoops, where a new villain has emerged to take the crown from the usual suspects at Duke. After a controversial play involving an Iowa player’s midsection, Wisconsin’s Brad Davison has officially become the most polarizing man on the court.
Big CatBrad Davison has taken the mantle of most hated player in college basketball from Duke
Wisconsin basketball is officially more hated than Duke this year. Brad Davison up to his old tricks with a nut shot last night. I think Brad Davidson has taken the mantle of most hated college basketball player this year, which usually is reserved for the whitest guy on Duke.
Jay Cutler Joins the Show
Greatest Chicago Bear of all time Jay Cutler sat down with Big Cat and PFT Commenter to discuss everything from his retirement status to the chaotic nature of Mike Martz’s offense. Jay was in rare form, showing off the dry humor and honesty that made him a fan favorite during his playing days. He even addressed the hypothetical scenario that could bring him back to the gridiron, involving a certain quarterback's recurring illness.
Jay CutlerI would consider playing for the Jets if Sam Darnold got mono again and they offered $20M
$20 million, one year, New York Jets quarterback. Gosh, that's a lot of money. We'd have to have a conversation. [Breaking news], Jay Cutler, considering playing next year for the Jets In the case of Sam Darnold getting mono again and them throwing a ridiculous amount of money.
Jay also reminisced about the early days of his career in Denver, explaining how the thin air changed the physics of his rocket arm. According to Jay, the "Mile High" advantage wasn't just a myth; it was a measurable boost to his deep ball.
Jay CutlerThe altitude in Denver adds 5-8 yards to your throw
I thought you're getting five to eight yards on a throw there. And the ball just cuts... in Denver, the ball just keeps sailing. It just keeps going. [In Denver], probably high 70s [is the farthest I could throw].
One of the most revealing segments involved Jay’s relationship with former OC Mike Martz. Jay described Martz as a brilliant mind who viewed players as nothing more than pieces on a digital screen, often leading to high-stakes situations on the field.
Jay CutlerMike Martz had no conscience when it came to calling high-risk plays
I'll give it to Mike [Martz]. He had no conscience. He went into the game, and he was literally playing Madden. With human beings. It was just chess pieces... He always thought the next play was the one. He's dialing it up.
As a veteran who lived through the Chicago media meat grinder, Jay offered some blunt advice for current Bears signal-caller Mitch Trubisky. He emphasized the importance of shutting out the noise and avoiding the temptation to see what the critics are writing.
Jay CutlerMitch Trubisky should stop reading everything and go underground
Don't read anything. Stop reading is your advice. Go underground here, bud. I think you watch some of his press conferences and stuff, and you could tell it [media criticism] really bothered him sometimes. The more he can get away from all that stuff, I think the better for him.
Take Quake and Final Thoughts
The episode wrapped with a look at the bizarre world of "Celebrant of Sports Excellence" Kent Sterling, who decided to blame Cubs fans for being too "sluggish" to avoid 100mph line drives. PFT Commenter wasn't having any of it, especially after realizing the author's take was largely based on a single catch he made while his toddler was on his shoulders.
PFT CommenterKent Sterling's take on Cubs fans being 'sluggish' for getting hit by foul balls is trash
Chicago Cubs will protect fans too stupid or sluggish to avoid foul balls by extending nets... This guy sucks. This guy is trash... He basically saying he wrote this entire article to brag that parents are capable of protecting kids because he did it once.
The guys also debated the future of American Olympic dominance. Jay Cutler is convinced that if we simply took our best throwers and athletes, the United States would be an unbeatable force in a sport that most Americans only watch once every four years.
Jay CutlerThe United States would win Olympic Gold in handball if they fielded a team of pro athletes
I do want to get a team together for the Olympics. I think it's handball... I guarantee we can put a team together that can win gold. Guaranteed. Just from pure, arm speed. I don't think guys in other countries [could compete].
Jay might be retired, but his arm still works well enough to fire a golf ball at Big Cat's head if he doesn't start cleaning up the yard faster.
