I was reading about this a few days ago when he was missing. Kristen and him didn't really even grow up together. One lived with the mother and one with the father - like in IL and CA. They lived together only a short period of time.........He was always in trouble, etc. per an uncle.
If Cutler takes off for this, it's ridiculous.
I don't think pro athletes should take off for very much, including the birth of their child. Days off practice, or regular season games in the other three sports. But, not regular season football.
I was really glad when Ben Zobrist's wife said no, you're not leaving the World Series if I go into labor. Just hit a home run!
