Jay Cutler's brother-in-law found dead

He gets paid over $15m per year. I think you're grossly undervaluing his profession.

 

Bull ****. It's a multi-billion dollar business. It's not similar to you and your buddy playing XBOX.

 

But, they sound so clever and above us when they say this crap.

 

You get paid $15.5M. There are 16 times in the year when you have to show up, if not injured. And, with very few exceptions.

Nope. It's unbereaveable.

His brother in law was a Chinaman?

We don't know the situation. If they were really close, then family comes first, but it sounds like from what is reported neither he nor his wife was really close to the brother.

 

Yes, Favre played after his Dad, and the ridiculous comment about missing the birth of your first child is silly. This is a game, and you only have a couple of occasions to be there for your wife when you have a child.

 

I'm sure he'll play.

Actually I agree with the not missing games for the birth of a child. Antonio Cromartie, and countless others would never be playing.

No, he was Scooby Doo.

Wow, I must be lucky. My job considers an in-law to be immediate family, on the same level as a grandparent. We get up to 5 days paid bereavement to grieve/attend services. Personally, my brothers-in-law are like brothers to me. If one of them were to pass it would be like my own brother passing away.

 

I'm sure at the end of the day he'd be allowed to miss the game to be there for his wife and attend the service, if that was his choice.

I dunno. I think the ShoeKago people would be okay with him missing this week's game, if it came to that. But to take the next five games off... I think that's going just a wee mite too far. But then again, that's just me. I mean there are only four games left. So, would he wait for the opener in 2016 to take his last bereavement day, or do you think he'd take it during the preseason schedule?
