Re: roasted

Dear Roasted Bear,

I don't reach out too often, y'know?   I'm not the "reach out" type of guy, y'know?  Most people think I'm an ass, y'know?  Rick Reilly called me as popular as gout.  He's right, y'know?

Still, have you seen the reaction from fans and my fellow pros about me sitting out against the Packers after basically ripping my knee in half? The thing was shaking like jelly in the second quarter, y'know?  And there was Arizona's Darnell Dockett posting on his Twitter account: "If I'm on chicago team jay cutler has to wait till me and the team shower get dressed and leave before he comes in the locker room! #FACT."

Who is Darnell Dockett?

I figure you know what I'm going through, y'know?  I mean, you got shot in the head and then that crazy guy who runs that restaurant in Minnesota was going to cook you in a pig-roaster oven and serve you to Packers fans during the game like some type of sacrifice to the football gods—until the state health department got wind of the plan and shut it down.  Jeez, when did football become so important?  Y'know?

Any thoughts?

Jay

Re: roasted

Dear Jay,

The fans didn't get to eat me.  But I had to pose for a ton of pictures.  It's hard to smile when you're on fire.

As for you, stay out of the woods if y'know what's good for you.

Love,
Roasted Bear
