I can get told she too tired at home, and use that money to pay for the $100 PPV fight, booze, the next weekend.

Dennis Dodd got to see one of the best college basketball games of the year Saturday night, but he couldn’t stop complaining about something that happened after the game.

Actually, complaining might be too kind of a word. Perhaps “whining” works a little better.

Dodd, who is a national college football writer for CBS Sports, was in Los Angeles to cover Wisconsin’s eventual win over Arizona in the Elite Eight. Also in attendance was Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has jumped on the Wisconsin bandwagon in recent years, attending some of the Badgers’ biggest games during their consecutive Final Four runs.

Rodgers was accompanied by celebrity actress girlfriend Olivia Munn, so naturally, a lot of attention was on the power couple. Seemingly every time Wisconsin hit a big shot, the CBS cameras cut to the two. As you might imagine, Rodgers and Munn were given some extra access and were on the court celebrating with the team after its win. This, along with an apparent interview decline from Rodgers, was enough to send Dodd to Twitter to well, whine.

















To borrow a line from Rodgers, maybe Dodd should R-E-L-A-X a little bit.

This all got back to Rodgers at some point Saturday night into Sunday morning, and he fired off some tweets that didn’t mention Dodd by name or handle but left no doubt who they were intended for.





You can kind of see where Rodgers is coming from. He’s there to watch the game and cheer on the Badgers, not necessarily grant interviews. As for him being allowed onto the court after the game, those are the kind of opportunities you’re given when you’re one of the best football players on the planet.

The Eagles signed WR Miles Austin, another old DL specialist.

Jay Cutler has to feel pretty deflated after hearing this.

The Chicago Tribune reports that the Anti-Cruelty Society of Chicago recently held a auction back on March 26 to raise money for the pet-adoption charity, and one of the items was a Cutler signed football. It received zero bids at the asking price of $100. Not a single one.

Granted, this was the Chosen Man's Best Friend and Factor Felines fashion show, held at Bloomingdale's on North Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago, and according to Anti-Cruelty Society president Dr. Robyn Barbiers, it wasn't exactly "a football crowd."

But still. This is Chicago. More than the Cubs or Bulls or dirty politics, nothing riles this town up like the Bears. And this is the starting quarterback. Maybe Cutler burning bridges at Cubs games a few years ago, refusing to sign autographs there, has come back to haunt him in a very karma-ish way.

Or maybe fans are listening to the words of new head coach John Fox, who has given his new QB a very lukewarm reception. Cutler's play fell off to the point where he was benched last season for Jimmy Clausen, who went three years between regular-season snaps.

For perspective, consider: A book about former Illinois men's basketball coach Bruce Weber went for $120 at the same auction. Weber was fired by the school following the 2012 season.

You're saying a Cutler signed ball isn't worth $20 fewer than a book of a former Illini hoops coach?

I was at a charity event this summer. One of the raffles was a Cutler jersey. More than a few people said "I hope I win it so I can burn it".
