Anybody who has read this blog before has probably noticed a few things about me. I’m diabetic, I’m originally from Philadelphia, and I love the Eagles more than just about anything. Tonight they play Jay Cutler and Da Bears. As you all know Cutler is diabetic. A little less known fact is that Donovan McNabb is a huge diabetes advocate as well. He runs a large diabetes children’s camp in Pennsylvania every year and puts a lot of money towards research. So tonight’s game is meaningful in a lot of different ways. McNabb and Cutler are good friends because of the diabetes link, plus they are both quarterbacks. Obviously, I want the Eagles to win every game and would never cheer against them. Cutler however, has the Touchdowns for Diabetes campaign going on with Eli Lilly.
Basically, every touchdown he throws money goes towards diabetes. That sounds like a good idea to me, except that the way Jay has played this year, there may be a cure already if they gave money for every interception he’s thrown (he’s thrown the most in the NFL). So, in tonight’s game I would love to see the Eagles shut the Bear’s out. However, if they don’t, then I would want every touchdown to be a Cutler touchdown pass, no other forms of touchdowns.
I have called out Cutler before in my blog and I will again right now, but on a different level. Relax and calm down Jay, play like you know how to play and get us some money for diabetes.
