You know how it is. You’re just chilling at the Pro Bowl, sipping daiquiris by the pool, hazing the first timers, being awesome. Then out of nowhere Jay Cutler is a diabetic and shit gets real. Per the Denver Post:
The gang of Pro Bowl football players had been gathered around the tables, swapping stories, when suddenly the Broncos’ quarterback had 300-pound Nick Mangold pushing from one side, 310-pound Kris Dielman holding the other and his cellphone swindled into the hands of a coy Peyton Manning.
Cutler’s radar had gone up, but he never had a chance.
Splash!
“We gave him a Pro Bowl baptism,” said Dielman, the star offensive guard of the rival San Diego Chargers.
Great fun. Big laughs. There was just one problem. Cutler is a Type 1 diabetic, and in his pocket was his blood-sugar monitor…
The monitor was fried by the chlorinated water. Fortunately, Hawaii has drug stores, and after a few calls here and there, Cutler was well-equipped by lunchtime Wednesday.
“It was a bad audible on our part,” Manning said. “I think we were thinking right, trying to get the cellphone. Then we realize, the guy gets insulin shots. We missed that.”
In case you can’t read between the lines, Peyton would like you to know he’s not responsible for Jay Cutler being a bit of a pussy. He made the right call and his teammates executed perfectly. Cutler’s crappy genes are his own problem.
