What Grids My Gears!!!

What Grinds my gears:

Back in my day when a local talent with to a school. It was announced with class in your local newspaper or a simple listing of the players going to which college.  Nice and simple, and to the point. Nothing really major as a guy that played great being rewarded by going to his school of choice and hopefully contributing to that program.  What grinds my gears is that on Feb.2nd on Espn we as fans shall have to sit through and all day event or "spectacle" that has become national signing day! This truly annoys me and as I've seen quite a few people.  You have a press conference in the school's gym or meeting room you have some 6'5 345 Offensive tackle from Montana on television and you place 4 hats in front of him just to see where he's going to go. He teases by playing with the hats pretending to put it on then he finally puts it on his school of choice. Are u kidding me! That to me is a waste of time and money to devote on a kid who's going to college! Do we spend time or TV hours on national honor society scholars or changers of their local community, didn't think so. I'm sorry is the NFL draft of course its not This just another example of the new era of the "I'm entitled to the fame before I do squat athlete" Do I blame kid for being kids of course not do what you do. If you ever wonder why these younger kids have this sense of entitlement look no further than Feb.2, 2011.  You'll see coverage regarding so many random kids your head will spin. The higher ups at Espn drink soda for this and lots of it its called "thrashola"!

Allow me to re-introduce myself! My name is Moe aka "da Juggernaut" and sports is my thing. as long as I can remember have had a passion for sports. I was fortunate to play in high school, walk on in college and play pro-am basketball and semi-pro football. Besides that I spend time researching, coaching and discussing sports have the distinct honor of being the first freelance writer for http://www.gorellalyfe.blogspot.com/  I will strive to brings facts and passion to my articles every week. I will discuss the hot sports topics, provide picks and present a fresh perspective on sports and life in general. My articles will come from the "heart" of a true fan perspective. You don't  have to worry about network and team bias with me and it will not be seen in my articles! I believe in in intelligent conversation and embrace it I believe in greats sports debates and I embrace it. If you disagree or agree with any of my articles or have questions or statements feel free to comment on the site: http://www.gorellalyfe.blogspot.com/ or email me at moeirchirl@gmail.com all I ask is come correct or don't come at all! Now that the intro is out the way on to today's topics.

Jay Cutler:

Normally when the super bowl is in the horizon the focus normally moves on the two teams that made it. The networks present video back stories on those teams from their off season signings to any distractions they have had and how they made it to the big one! In all my years of watching football I have never seen someone get as much grief for not being able to play hurt as Jay Cutler.  What stood out most was that the harshest criticism he received came from former and current players! At the end of the day all we have is speculation and opinion on why Jay didn't go back in but I believe Jay is being butchered for being an emotionless type player in an emotional game. People where calling out his passion, but those same people that did it should look in the mirror before you tweet or facebook or blog about a player's injury. If Jay plays on a bum knee, and they still lose what kind of player does Jay become. A tough loser! That's almost as laughable when somebody goes to jail for 4 years of their life and then come back to the old neighborhood works at the local warehouse scrapping up a living but they are respected in the streets cause he now has "street cred" for going to jail. Last time I checked when pursuing a house they don't check "street credit".  Let's be real. I'm not a fan of Cutler. He's arrogant and egotistical and thinks he's better than what he is. He thinks he has a better arm than John Elway (hall of fame, 2x super Bowl winner!) He thinks he's a elite QB but he hasn't even mastered simple mechanics or proper footwork. He throws horrible interceptions like Farve.
