one thing is you have to consider the source.

there's plenty of reason for him to start poo.

at this point the only reason you can believe this is true is if you harbor irrational hatred towards Jay Cutler and only hope to see him fail because his swagger doesn't fit your prototype squeaky clean QB image.

Epistaxis believes it's possible too. Does he have an agenda, or is it just that he thinks it's meaningless (same as me)?

In reality, what you believe here has more to do with Urlacher than Cutler, and the source being a friend of Urlacher. Fireball believes Urlacher is a prick. I don't know if he's that, but from what I've seen and read of him I can see him saying this in private, thinking it'd never get out, then having to deny it when a friend he trusted shot his mouth off on the radio.

Regardless, I think it's a non-story, just like training camp fights and such.

Urlacher has not, to my knowledge, actually said "I did not say that". The quotes I have read are not actual denials he said it.

“Nothing happened,” Urlacher said. “I saw Bobby at a place somewhere and I was talking to him, but I never said what was quoted as me saying, and that’s it. I have a lot of respect for Jay. I think Jay knows that. I’ve already talked to him. There’s never been an issue with Jay and me.

“Jay is the leader of our team. He’s our quarterback. He’s our Pro Bowl quarterback and he gives us the best chance to win a Super Bowl, and I’m happy to have him."

Cutler didn’t know anything about the situation until he received a call from Urlacher.

“I just got done working out and he called me, and we laughed about it,” Cutler said. “It came from Minnesota and the Vikings up there, so I didn’t put any stock into it. I know Brian didn’t. Brian and I have had a good relationship since I got here, and I expect it to continue that way.”

Of course, no matter what he says or says he didn't say is regardless because Wade talked the poo and now everyone is going to say, "Well, of course he's going to say he didn't say it!"

Regardless, and like Mr Scot and you have said, it is and will be a non-issue as far as what either player does when they're on the field.

Let me put it another way.

A football team is a core of 53 guys, plus practice squad, injured reserve and whatever else, plus the coaches, support, etc. Lots of guys with different personalities, different backgrounds, etc. One thing the majority of them have in common though? Huge egos.

Would you honestly expect that on the Bears, or on any team for that matter, that every one of those guys actually likes all of their teammates?

There may be guys on the Panthers now who absolutely despise each other (wouldn't surprise me if Meat knew of a few from his time there). And heaven knows one or two of them, maybe more, have probably popped off to a friend, on the team or off, that a certain teammate was a prick, or a wimp, or a hypocrite, or a pervert, or a...whatever.

Hence, I have no trouble believing this incident happened. Likewise wouldn't surprise me if there were a few on the team who didn't think all that highly of Urlacher and may have said so...in private. And this same scenario probably happens on every team, on a regular basis.

But as long as it doesn't bubble over and affect the on-field performance, it's not a big deal.

If it does, then you worry. Till then, next story.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...

      Canes vs Leafs 7pm

      Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.
