Knee-gate in Chicago

[HowardRoark]

I know the guy has to eat, but this just goes to his tone deafness. This guy needs a PR guy just to teach him common sense and how to make a facial expression.

Bring on dinner gate:

Jay Cutler and girlfriend Kristin Cavallari dined at Mastro's Steakhouse on Sunday following the Bears' loss to the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship. Cutler, who left Sunday's game in the third quarter due to a knee injury, was not on crutches at Mastro's, but "he limped a tiny bit," according to a source. The couple was joined by 11 other people in Mastro's private upstairs dining room.

It was the second time in as many weeks Cutler and Cavallari dined at the River North. They had dinner at Mastro's after the Bears' playoff win over the Seattle Seahawks on January 16.

The Bears' Greg Olsen had dinner at Hub 51 on Sunday, as did teammate J'Marcus Webb, who was spotted at Bull & Bear with the New England Patriots' Bret Lockett later that night. Danieal Manning opted for Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.

edit - Beat me to the punch

He's not doing himself any favors by going out to dinner after the game and taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

Nationally, I think this whole thing is taking away from the Packers and Steelers accomplishments, the first 10-15 minutes of NFL live on ESPN were about this crap, before they even talked about the 2 teams in the Superbowl.

In 5 Packer/Bear games, Cutler has completed 54% of his passes with 4 TD's and 10 INT's. Maybe Lovie just decided to go with his other guys rather than a "less than 100% healthy" Cutler. Down 14-0, does anyone not think Cutler would have been good for at least a couple more INT's?

It's far more likely that he used the opportunity of the bad knee to get Cutler off the field. He was off target on several critical passes and looked hang-dog (no offense to dogs) with bad body language all through the first half.
