Ron Artest says he drank alcohol during games as a member of the Bulls, in part because the team lost so frequently.

“I used to drink Hennessy … at halftime,” said Artest, who played with the Bulls from 1999-2002 and now is with the Lakers. “I (kept it) in my locker. I’d just walk to the liquor store (near the stadium) and get it.”

I mean sure it’s boring to lose games, but I don’t think that excuses this.  On the other hand, at least he was putting forth effort which is more than can be said for the current incarnation of the Bulls.  I probably would have been drinking on those crappy teams though, so who am I to judge?

“When we did our research, we know he goes out, we know he does those things,” Angelo said. “We talked to our medical people, we talked to the Denver medical people. It comes with the territory. We’re comfortable with it. I really can’t answer it beyond that.

“I’m not going to micro-manage a person. If we have to do that, that’s not a good sign. Some lessons, they have to see and learn for themselves. I don’t think that’s a big thing at this point. It’s what he does on Sunday is how we’re going to evaluate him. That’s the bottom line. He’s got a good foundation coming in here. He’s a young quarterback, he’s played in this league, he’s shown what he can do. He gets it. That’s the biggest concern. He gets it.”

Whoa Jerry.  So you’re saying that it’s ok for a young man to go out drinking with friends?  How unusual.  Jerry gets a gold star for being reasonable where the rest of the world seems to have gone insane.

Golan -
Olsen: Hey Jay, let’s hit up Urban Outfitters this weekend, I just think your shirt and tight jeans are fabulous.
Cutler: Stop changing subjects. I want a little more commitment from my Tight End, and I noticed you still haven’t removed your wedding band.

Nature Boy -
Olsen: Hey Jay, if I undo another button do you think I will look like more of a douchebag??
Cutler: Never Greg….Never!
Olsen: Great, this look is really in over on N.Halsted which is where I usually like to hang out.
Cutler: Well what are we waiting for, lets go!

Aquaman -
Olsen: I think I just cummed in pants.
Cutlerfucker: Yeah I get that a lot.

DaChiFan -

“He was sitting in a banquette and she was standing between his thighs, touching them and facing him,” says a spy. “They were all over each other. It was kind of gross. He was drinking beer all night but she stuck to water.” Our witness says Cutler and Allison left together, but not before he asked the deejay to play the Bears’ fight song.

How can you not love this guy?  Boozing, partying, getting laid, and hopefully throwing touchdowns in a Bears uniform.  Oh, and this girl may be a fame-seeking socialite, but she is definitely hot.  Attaboy Jay.

Side Note: I am pretty sure I went to high school with this girl and she was a couple years older than me.  For obvious reasons(I’m a nerd), we didn’t run in the same circles.

That was on the field, though.  Off the field, Orton’s antics were beloved by all.  He loved to drink, party with young, attractive women, drive an electric car, and grow the greatest neckbeard of all time.  At this point it is unclear how Jay Cutler’s off-field shenanigan’s will measure up.  Beyond the whining and boasting about his laser arm, we just didn’t know what to expect.  Until now, that is.  I found this picture on facebook.  It is at a downtown Chicago restaurant/bar called Hub51 and apparently Jay and his new tight end Greg Olsen were boozing pretty hard:

Let’s just call this picture a caption contest.  The most hilarious one in the comments will be posted later this week.  By the way, as fun as this is, it’s no neckbeard.  Not yet at least.
