Jay Cutler Says He's Voting For Mitt Romney

It's becoming clear that Jay Cutler wants Chicago to hate him. Next thing you know, he'll be endorsing New York-style pizza and shaving off Mike Ditka's mustache.

Yesterday Cutler decided to tell the world that he supports Mitt Romney, despite being the quarterback of President Barack Obama's team of choice. Cutler said on ESPN's "Waddle & Silvy" on Monday, ‘‘That’s a touchy subject. I have been following the debates and everything. I do live in Tennessee. I’m voting for Mitt this election season.’’

Cutler's attitude has been the real star of the Bears season. The team is 7-1, but Cutler hasn't personally won over Chicago's hearts. Recently Cutler was named the "least liked" quarterback in the NFL in a Forbes report. Some lip-readers said he was caught saying, "Fucking fans, I swear to God," as he was booed at Soldier Field. Early in the season, Cutler got nasty with J'Marcus Webb on the sidelines when Webb let a couple sacks get through. Cutler is the official frenemy of Chicago.

Perhaps Cutler is still a little miffed that Obama made some pro-Aaron Rodgers comments in August 2011. When the Superbowl champs visited the White House, they presented Obama with a share in the publicly owned Packers. Obama said his first move would be to send Rodgers down to Chicago. Don't worry, Obama. You still have Matt Forte's endorsement.
