Chicago Bears Quarterback Jay Cutler has decided, after his loss today to the NFC North Champion Green Bay Packers, to begin a vegan diet and lifestyle. In an interview with Pam Oliver after the game, Cutler told Bears Fans, “I’m going to have to eat dirt after this loss”. Cutler, 34, had a good outing against the champion Packers, with a 101.5 quarterback rating, completing 12 of 18 for 133 yards. Cutler will become a free agent next year, and is hoping for an offer from Seattle, where the vegan options are greater. “They know how to use spices in their cooking”, said Cutler. “It will make my transition to eating tofu and humus less painful”. Chicago fans have shown little patience for Cutlers decision. Former Bears coach Mick Ditka said after the loss, “Cutler should be eating Vienna dogs and bratwurst, not bean sprouts”!
