What a mess. This whole Broncos-Jay Cutler thing has devolved into one of those movies where there's no character to like, nobody for whom to root. The team and its new 32-year-old head coach obviously shoulder plenty of blame. If Josh McDaniels' first act as coach is to run a Pro Bowl quarterback out of town, he'd better turn out to be one heck of a coach. But this is a failed first test. A good coach, a true leader of men, could have found a way to pull Cutler through this and make him into a productive player for the team in spite of the rocky start.

But to lay all of the blame on the team is to let the quarterback off easy. Cutler has conducted himself like a gigantic, spoiled crybaby for the past several weeks. He deserves no sympathy, and the Bears have to be wondering what kind of man, exactly, they just added to their team.

Texas Rangers (29-44) vs. Houston Astros (31-42)-FOX 3:55PM Est.

People of the great state of Texas, I feel your pain. I too know what it's like to have a series between two state rivals that means nothing to anybody else, mean everything to you. The Rangers and the Astros meet again this afternoon as they fight over which Texas team sucks the least. It's not really a prize worth going for, but as baseball fans we all need something to cling to. It's a long season, and if we didn't have such insignificant victories, none of us would make it through. This series is just something to hold you over until the Dillon Panthers prepare to defend their state title this fall. Roy Oswalt starts for the Astros, and at least he's still as awesome as ever. He'll be facing Jamey Wright who is just about the opposite of Oswalt.
