Please welcome Chester Wright to the site, for the first and possibly the last time. Chester has written for many other outlets in the past, and he’s really smart. If you don’t believe me, just ask him.
I would like to begin by telling you how stupid you are. Yes, you, with your jumping to conclusions about the great Jay Cutler, who so valiantly tried to lead the Bears to Super Bowl glory! You thought that Jay Cutler just sat out of a conference title game because he could not take the pressure? And what, dear hard-working person, would you know about pressure? Did you spend your formative years in the Cambodian militia? I THOUGHT NOT. Point, Chester!
You probably thought you were “calling a spade a spade” as my grandfather from the old country would have put it. Mr. Cutler sat out the second half of his game due to legitimate injury! Legitimate, I say! What do you naysayers know about the stability of knee joints? Certainly less than the handful of Mr. Cutler’s bretheren, whose myriad of knee injuries surely don’t compare to that nobody can seem to find the injury on replay! You’d be too stupid to realize that the injury was actually occuring! Are you a doctor? NO YOU ARE NOT. Mr. Cutler is not required to discharge his duties with “sparkle” or “verve,” or even any putrid speckle of “exuberance.” Do not consider yourself worthy of Mr. Cutler’s exuberance. That is his to dispense as he wishes.
YOU FOOLS! You just took to the Twitters like the knee-jerk idiots that you are! But not me! I waited until more information became available, and then pounced like the classical golden tabby tigers of Mysore Pradesh! Such beautiful animals, they were, not that you would know, peasant scum. Torn MCL, see! Coach Smith said so, and why would he misconstrue the truth when his mismanagement of game’s end made for such a tidy alibi? Nobody could have played with that sort of ligament damage! It’s only good for standing on while pouting on the sideline, but nothing more! Did you know that? No! Point, Chester!
How stupid you were to think that Jay Culter simply lacked fortitude. Next time you feel foolish enough to judge something with your own eyes, any information available online, and the broadcast crew performing their craft to the utmost of their abilities, think twice! It still won’t be as productive as me, Chester Wright, thinking once. That’s just my cross to bear.

Wait, so is the article linked supposed to prove that Cutler should have played with a sprained MCL, because Rivers once played with a torn ACL? When the article says “Meanwhile, Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson said his sprained MCL will not require surgery. About four weeks rest should be enough to heal the injury that kept him out of all but the first two offensive series of Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.
“It’s just time,” Tomlinson said. “It’s not going to require surgery. Most of these injuries, when you have a sprained MCL, it takes four weeks.”
What do you know about ligaments, The? Are you a doctor?
NO!
Footsteps Falco is Chester Wright?
Thanks bro bro…
I think its funny Bears fans think that their chances would actually have improved had Cutler played.
I’m a doctor… of love.
I like to think that I know more about pressure than some guy who grew up in Santa Claus, IN, went to Vanderbilt, and then wasted away in the AFC West for a few years.
<— Bears fan that doesn't care J-Cutty stayed on the sideline.
Get Dr. Strange on the line Dormammu.
This was annoying.
Douche Pug needs to drop one right in his guitar hole.
I’m a Cambodian Doctor (Knee Specialist) who grew up in the Khmer Rouge, and I say he’s a Jake. My real name, you guessed it, Pol Qwak, MD.
I feel asleep after “I would like to begin by…” Zzzzzzzz
Maybe I should rephrase that…
<—- Bears fan that doesn't care.
Regarding MJD, as a Jax resident, let me chime in. Winning against the Redskins could have put them in the playoffs. MJD – out- leg injury.
Also the Jags stat sheet showed MJD started and played the entirety of the Colts game at Indy, but I watched the whole game and never saw him show up. Pretty easy to make the pro-bowl playing a last place schedule, big mouth.
Great. Thanks to Chester, there are no more exclamation points or question marks left in the world. The ones on my keyboards have been magically erased. I’ll try it.

See/ I told you1 And I was holding shift1. But, I know…I’m not involved in the grammar industry.
Cool I always wanted to see what a post would look like without any insight, humor, or points of interest.
That article about Phillip Rivers is nice, but it doesn’t really compare apples to apples. Phillip Rivers injured his knee in the game before that against the Colts, and he sat out the rest of that important game. Then after a week of a medical team treating it, and the knee put in a brace he had his heroic game against the Patriots.
I played Div III college ball. I was the wing on our PR unit, and on one play when I was going in to try to block the punt, their up-back went low on me, hitting me square in the knee. Doc’s diagnosis (after MRI): Grade 2 MCL sprain, torn meniscus.
I was able to not walk, but jog off the field. I walked up and down the sideline, with nary a limp–in fact, the ankle on the other leg was what made me limp (the guy’s shoulder pad caught it). Our offense punted, and it was time for me to head back onto the field with the D (played SS that year).
I lasted all of one play. The knee didn’t hurt so much as it felt like it was made out of water. I had no push off it. I couldn’t run. So I grabbed some bench. The thing swelled, but not dramatically.
After I got out of my pants & girdle & put street clothes on, the thing felt weird. Again, like it was all loose & made out of water. Didn’t feel… “strong” in any sense. After I went home and warmed up, it swelled up more and stiffened up, but despite the seriousness of the injury, it never “felt” as bad as the ankle (which was just a Grade 1 inversion sprain).
Two weeks off, a good tape job under my spiffy new knee brace, and a doubling-up of my kneepads, and I was good to go… at about 80%.
Long story short: keep your trap shut about how much a guy “can” or “can’t” do with any particular injury. Until/unless you have the same injury and do the exact same motions, you’re just talking out of your ass.
And Cutler is a brave man to play behind that craptastic O-line of his.
Long story short, if the best you can do in Division III is special teams, you’re probably better off giving up the dream and attending a real school.
Great story. Loser.
@Lothar of the Hill People; how DARE you bring facts into this! People do not want to hear this, this, truth stuff.
P.S. Don’t desparage the Bears’ great line; they lead the league in several catagories, including sacks and QB pressures allowed!
Chester, you don’t read well, do you? I played strong safety that year. Most Div III teams outside of UWWW and Mount Union don’t have the rosters to have dedicated STers, so starters actually *gasp* had to play ST. Hell, some of us were ironmen, too (yes, that’s the “manly” way of saying you went both ways). My sophomore year, I was starting FS and was the #3 WR. Junior year, SS & #4 WR. Senior year, SS/WLB & RB.
And I’ll indulge your trolling with a little more sincerity: 15+ years later, and I’d trade my left nut for another game. The dream is impossible to give up.
But if I tore my MCL again, I’d be riding pine.
Buddy of mine tore his Achilles playing racquetball. He said it really didn’t hurt that badly, but he was completely incapable of lifting his foot. Sometimes when your body breaks, it just won’t work. No amount of “manning up” or rubbing dirt on it will help if you just can get the joint to move, or the muscle to twitch, etc. My MCL tear was like that: I just couldn’t push off with my right leg.
I’d add some levity to my posts, but injuries in football always bring out the melancholy in me: I ended my playing days getting my foot damn near ripped off my leg, and had I known that the day I was injured would be the last game I’d ever play, I would’ve… savored it a bit more, you know?
So yeah, I can’t quite square up my mind with Cutler–playing in the biggest game of his life, with his season over if they lose, and he doesn’t Farve-up and go out on the field on crutches? But then, knowing that guys don’t make it to the pros unless they’ve got the fire in their bellies… well, if you can’t go, you can’t go.
Lothar bro I love your stuff.
On a serious note. The photoshop was good and casanovawong hit the article spot on. annoying.
I don’t think Chester is a real person. Either way, fuck him in his smug cocklicking face
More Chester please.
I was just moments ago watching the bias propaganda on espn sunday nfl countdown and again they whining about Cutler and trying to absurdly use Philip Rivers for their bogus attack on Cutler. AGAIN when Rivers was injured in the colts game before the Afc Championship game he couldnt finish the rest of the game!
So Shut the Hell up with that stupid crap of trying to compare Culter to Rivers because you will also just be disrespecting Rivers also for not finishing the game! Wise up.
