BAPTISM AT PRO BOWL FESTIVITIES LEADS TO MEDICAL NIGHTMARE?

Boys will be boys. Boys will throw each other in the pool. In this situation, the boys are Peyton Manning, Nick Mangold, Kris Dielman, and the throwee is Jay Cutler. Everyone who has ever witnessed a Broncos football game will know that Cutler has type 1 Diabetes. So who would think that he would have his blood sugar monitor in his pocket before sending him flying into a pool?

The culprits, Manning, Mangold, and Dielman managed to save his cell phone, but apparently has never watched a Bronco's game and didn't realize that Cutler might have some of his medical equipment on him in Hawaii. It was done all for fun, and not to beat up the one who can't fight back. As Dielman stated, "We gave him a Pro Bowl baptism."

Apparently Cutler took it pretty well because he didn't try to get any of the culprits back... yet. For those Broncos fans, do not fret, he now has a new blood sugar monitor and he will be just fine.

Aside from this being a random story, and a little funny how it turned out (especially for the culprits with the "oops" or "oh $%@*" reaction they had). However, reading this from MJD's Shutdown Corner on Yahoo! Sports, his comments on the story were even more entertaining:

"If I was him, I would have started faking stomach cramps and pretending to lose my eyesight, while screaming that I could die without my monitor. But that's just me, and I like to teach people lessons that will stick for a lifetime."

My kind of person ;)

MARSHAWN LYNCH IS GOING TO THE PRO BOWL!

I don't care if you don't like the Buffalo Bills. I do so I'm going to recap the only positive story about them that is current. Marshawn Lynch, the Bills first string running back is going to the Pro Bowl in February. As the first alternate to Titan's Chris Johnson, Lynch will be venturing to Hawaii because Johnson is currently injured.

Although this is a little exciting for Bills fans, or me, I know that the Pro Bowl is not that exciting of a sporting event. All the excitement comes for the Super Bowl, and then goes away again. Everyone knows that the AFC always wins, or should. But this is actually a nice little honor bestowed on Lynch and the Buffalo Bills. Even though he's replacing Johnson, it's the first time a Buffalo Bill's RB will be going to the Pro Bowl since Travis Henry, who the last time I heard, was in jail for selling crack and having too many kids. The only other Buffalo Bills participant who was actually voted in (I'm not sure why) was Jason Peters. Ironically, though he was chosen, this is the second consecutive year Peters will not be attending the Pro Bowl, due to injury. Either that, or they aren't going to pay him enough.

Anyway, go Marshawn! I don't know if I'll watch the game, but tear down that NFC's defense!
