Bears QB Jay Cutler Walks Out of Press Conference After Local Media No-Show

Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears exhibited an awful brand of professional football in their 31-15 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. Given that fact, and the fact that Chicago media are the most ruthless of the Midwest's press corps, Cutler was a likely candidate to be roasted by reporters following the game.But that never happened because he walked out!

Here's the full transcript (via video from Deadspin):

Mike Sando (ESPN): --unidentified question-

Cutler: I don't think so. Just have to look at the film and play better. We'll take a look tomorrow and see what exactly slowed us down.

Sando: Did the Saints pretty much do what they've done... (cut off)

Cutler: They had a pretty good plan. They had a good plan. They mixed it up pretty well against us. They showed us a few new things. They knew what they were doing.

Sando: What's kind of important to you now, moving forward?

Cutler: Just trying to get better for these next two games. Going out and trying to give a good performance offensively.

[Cutler surveys room]

Cutler: Okay. Jim?

[Cutler looks toward Bears Media Relations Manager Jim Christman]

Christman [to the room]: Does anybody have anymore questions?

Christman [to Cutler]: The media is on their way.

Cutler: We're going to wait for them?

Christman [to the room]: Do we have anything else?

Christman [to Cutler]: I'm good... [unintelligible blathering]

Cutler: Okay.

[Cutler leaves room]

Sando then took to Twitter to describe what happened:

Later, the "local reporters" chimed in on social media:

Sounds like the Bears PR department either 1) screwed this whole thing up or 2) was protecting their star quarterback. But the whole thing added to the now-popular narrative that the organization is a steaming pile of grizzly scat.
