North County Times reviews Jay Cutler's website!

Looking for muscle, check out Cutler's site

By: ERIC BREIER - Staff Writer

Nothin but net with the Chargers playing at Denver today, I figured it was the perfect time for a review of a Broncos-related site.

The obvious choice would be former Torrey Pines High standout John Lynch. You can't go wrong with a local guy, right? The only problem is that Lynch's Web site is all about his foundation. I'm sure his foundation is a worthy cause, but there's not much in the way of football there.

Champ Bailey would be a solid second choice. He's exciting on the field and seems to have some personality off it. But go to www.champbailey.com and all you get is a "coming soon" notice.

A look at www.tatumbell26.com seemed worthwhile. A visit to the Web site gives you the impression Bell plays for the Broncos. He doesn't. He's with the Lions now, despite no mention of it on his Web site, so that one didn't make much sense.

That left quarterback Jay Cutler. A wise man once said you can never go wrong with coverage of a team's quarterback so I went to www.jaycutler.com to check out Denver's rising star. There was just one small problem. The site doesn't belong to the Broncos' Cutler. It's actually the Web site of a bodybuilder named Jay Cutler, who has won a couple of Mr. Olympia titles.

But if rhythmic gymnastics is a sport, why not bodybuilding? So, with apologies to the Broncos' QB, let's dive right in to the world of the bodybuilding Cutler, a man whose physique might frighten The Incredible Hulk.

Cool stuff

- Apparently bodybuilders are in demand. Cutler has a thorough schedule of his public appearances. Mark it on your calendar now: he will be at the Orange County Muscle Classic in Anaheim on April 26.

- Cutler breaks down his diet and training schedule. He even throws in his wife's recipe for fat-free oatmeal cookies. This guy would never make it as a sports writer.

- Cutler includes year-by-year bodybuilding highlights, gives the vital stats on measurements of his calves, biceps, etc., and even offers a small bio.

Check at the door

- Everybody has to make a living, but this guy sells everything: T-shirts, visors, beanies, DVDs, signed photos and more. I'm surprised he gives visitors his wife's fat-free oatmeal cookie recipe gratis. On the plus side, it's one-stop shopping for all your holiday needs. But choose wisely. There are no refunds or exchanges on apparel.

The grade

Cutler is one buff dude. His Web site doesn't have quite as much muscle, but it's not bad. Give it three out of five mouses.

Staff writer Eric Breier was going to try out the fat-free oatmeal cookie recipe from Mrs. Cutler, but he prefers his cookies with fat. Lots of it. He can be reached at ebreier@nctimes.com.
