THE BUCKO SPORTS PAGE
By Frank J. Biller










Field report from your intrepid Sports Reporter . . .

Attached is a picture running in local Chicago papers of all time 'Dore great Jay Cutler walking his dog.


Jay is our Chicago fan favorite and franchise QB.

He is obviously greeting either paint thinner huffing Green Bay Packer fans or moonshine addled UT Vol fans.

Jay, DJ Moore, Earl Bennet and Chris Williams anchor the "Vandy-Bears" who are expected to lead 'Da Bears back to Super Bowl glory this year.

Them and Coach 'Ditka!
