Found November 26, 2012 on The Great Rabbino: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Adam Podlesh,  Sage Rosenfels,  Andre` Davis
TEAMS: Chicago Bears,  Houston Texans

Watching the Bears beat the Vikings was great, but the icing on the cake was seeing Adam Podlesh run in a 2 point conversion. I got a text from my sister asking if that was the first ever 2 point conversion by a Jewish player. I thought to myself possibly, since the 2 point conversion has only been around in the NFL since 1994. I began searching, apparently there were several attempts but only one Jewish 2 point conversion.. 10/21/07 - Texans vs. Titans - Sage Rosenfels to Andre Davis  But at least Podlesh is the 1st Jewish punter with a 2 point conversion.

Bears put Louis on IR with knee injury

Via AP on Fox  |  November 26, 2012
The Chicago Bears will be without starting right guard Lance Louis for the rest of the season because of a left knee injury. And for that, they are not happy with Minnesota's Jared Allen.

Jay Cutler Taunting After A Run Is His Catty Thing Of The Week

Via Kissing Suzy Kolber  |  November 25, 2012
Jay Cutler scrambled out of bounds for a first down against the Vikings then proceeded to flip the ball at the chest at cornerback A.J. Jefferson, earning Cutler a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. It’s the first ****** Cutler act in two weeks, only because he missed last week’s loss to the 49ers. To make up for lost time, expect him to rebuff a coach and make a dismissive...

Jay Cutler Is Everything the Bears Are Looking for in a Quarterback, Which Doesn’t Need to Be Saying Much

Via NESN.com  |  November 26, 2012
It’s easy to dislike Jay Cutler. He, the Chicago quarterback of perpetual grumpiness (although Smokin’ Jay Cutler was magical), completely great or completely terrible performances, and just enough talent and underachieving to make someone unhappy, has plenty of critics. This year, he’s been at it again. He feuded with coaches on the sideline. He called out teammates (also...
