Sly as a Fox (Not)

Esteemed physician and football coach John Fox delivered some bad news to reporters yesterday: Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler is going to have surgery for a torn labrum in his right, throwing, shoulder.  Truly, who could have guessed, except maybe everyone without the surname McCaskey or a paid employee thereof?

Here’s what the Bears’ “coach” said:  “There were some different treatments that I’m not going to get into all the exacts [!], but typically things you try to do to avoid surgery, and they didn’t take for him [?!##!] like they [who?] were expecting, and we’re at the surgical mode [huh?] at this point.”  As soon as his stay in Chicago is over (and how much longer can that be?), Fox should consider a career in standup comedy.  His deadpan delivery reminds me of Jackie Vernon.  For all you kids out there, Google.

You just have to wonder if anyone in Halas Hall realizes how stupid the organization looks for having denied the obvious for close to two weeks, especially with the supposed coach expounding on the definition of “tear.”  I shouldn’t complain too much, though.  As long as the McCaskeys run the Bears, the White Sox won’t be a laughingstock.  Then again, if the Sox were the acknowledged laughingstock of Chicago sports, maybe we’d get a new owner.  Then again, the Bears are the laughingstock, and the McCaskeys don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.
