LL Cool Jay Still Hates Philip Rivers

Well it seems our beloved robot of a quarterback, Jay Cutler, is once again in the news for what comes out of his mouth rather than the numbers he puts up on the field. Last night on the Best Damn Sports Show Period host Chris Rose, in an attempt to bait Jay into saying something he'd regret (like that he has a stronger arm than Denver deity John Elway perhaps?), asked Jay about his icy relationship with San Diego Chargers douche-in-chief Philip Rivers. Instead of being diplomatic about the whole situation and saying the usual stump speech about how Rivers is a great quarterback but they just don't talk much and blah blah blah, the Cut man shot from the hip in the same way he slings footballs on Sundays:

“We're not best of friends at all. We don’t really have a lot of contact with each other, you know, it’s become a nice rivalry," Cutler said. "We’re both younger guys and both on pretty good teams in the same division and get to see each other twice. I’m just not that big of a fan of the guy.” Cutler continued, “I don’t like how he carries himself. I don’t like some of the stuff he does on the field.”

I have to admit, while Cutler shows virtually no emotion when he does anything (I think he could have the same outward appearance when speaking about his grandmother's death as when he talks about a game that we won in which he threw 32 touchdowns), it's what makes him a great quarterback. He doesn't let anything rattle him and he's got unwavering confidence. While he's mastered the cliches of the postgame interview, if you ask him an honest question, he's going to give you an honest answer. That's what happened in the now infamous quote about Elway's arm, and now he's come under fire for it. To be honest, I love that kind of calm arrogance in my quarterback. He thinks he's the best quarterback in football and he believes it so matter-of-factly that you're not really sure that you disagree with him. Is he the best QB in football? Not yet. But I have no doubt that he'll be there within the next few years. Plus, I mean, have you seen Philip Rivers? That guy's a total jackass.
