12 Times Jay Cutler Didn’t Give a F–k
Bad news, guys: Jay Cutler, the NFL‘s Duke of Don’t Give a Fuck, may have finally started caring. At least in the fourth quarter (that’s progress!)
After leading the Chicago Bears to comeback wins in his last two games, the eternally dour quarterback appears to have turned the corner. And all it took was six-plus seasons of football filled with picks and pouts, plus the odd injury thrown in for good measure. Since arriving in the Windy City in 2009, Cutler has shown occasional flashes of brilliance – though it’s been his aloof behavior that’s earned him a reputation as one of the most icy guys in the NFL.
Despite that, and the fact that he’s led the Bears to the playoffs just once, Jay still got paid, inking a seven-year, $126.7 million deal following an 8-8 campaign in 2013. At the time, his critics howled – and they’re still bellowing – but now that Cutler’s winning games, maybe all the hate will stop. And perhaps he’s truly become a kinder, gentler dude. But probably not; after all, this is Jay Cutler we’re talking about. So until he yells at another ball boy (or stares off vacantly during a game), let’s take a look back at his greatest DGAF moments.
Circa 2009: The Set Up
If there’s a story that perfectly sums up the paragon of passivity that is Jay Cutler, it’s this one. By now, you’re probably aware he’s married to former MTV reality star Kristin Cavallari, and the two have a pair of young sons and a daughter on the way. That’s all lovely, until you hear how their romance began – with Cutler blindly asking Cavallari out through her publicist. Yep, after seeing her on The Hills, Jay contacted Cavallari’s rep and offered to fly her out to Chicago (“I didn’t know who he was,” she said in 2013). She passed, but a year later they reconnected after a Bears preseason game, and the rest was history.
