Ladies, Is This Marriage Proposal by QB Jay Cutler the Most Unromantic You’ve Heard Of?

Jay Cutler Marriage Proposal to Kristin Cavallari Happeend via Text, Mail

Jay Cutler is not the most liked person in football. In fact, he recently made the top five list for least-liked athletes in general. And when you read about the way he proposed to his now-fiance, you might just understand why.

The Chicago Bears quarterback is often panned for his bland demeanor and I-don’t-give-a-care attitude. And that characterization is haunting him now that it’s been learned how he proposed to Kristin Cavallari in November 2011: a text message. And the ring? He sent it in the mail.

In an interview that will air on E! March 10, Cavallari told the wholly unromantic story.

“It was so silly. I was in the airport, leaving Chicago,” Cavallari said. “We had just spent however many days together and we were texting and somehow it came up, like, ‘Oh, shall we get married?’ We’re like, ‘Yeah, OK.’ And then he sent my ring in the mail. So I actually had my ring sitting at home for a couple of weeks before I put it on.”

To be fair, the proposal was the second time he asked her. The couple got engaged for the first time in April 2011, but then called it off three months later.

  The same reason we have 100′s of different cars, places to eat, etc. Each has their own taste and that is also way not everyone goes to the same place. If you do not like an article why did you read that article? For this same reason I hang up on people that I chose to not speak with, etc. Our freedom of choice is something all need to exercise more often instead of showing their dislike for this or other articles, etc.

  I would not text that, he should’ve called her. He could’ve bought a ring at wally world real cheap, or given her a gift card. That’s what I did.

  Not only did you click on the story, but you also commented on it “ranchdog”, ensuring that more stories of this caliber will come your way. Thats how this works.
  
  If you really don’t care, don’t click.

  I second that, i am a Bears fan and he’s a gutless wonder. It looks like he’s marrying a barbie doll who just wants to be in the spotlight.

  Why is everyone pouting about the things posted on The Blaze. Sure its not that news worthy but you were 1 of 2 things. 1) Slightly interested, enough to click on it and figure out what could be so unromantic. Or 2) You have absolutley to much time on your hands and click on an post, that Im sure you read, just to say keep these thingsoff the blaze. Its called entertainment news people! I listen to Beck every morning from 9am.- 12p.m. And I search this site and Drudge Report on commercials. so comment on a post that matters.

  Another hollywood gossip story brought to you by the Blaze. I would say, I am not surprised, but that would be a lie.

The best men are the unromantic genuinely loyal ones rather than the ones who are romantic. The romantic ones have the wandering eye and are romantic to lots of women.

The guy is just another jock who has probably had his ass kissed by everyone since junior high school, and no one ever taught him how to behave. There are some things money can’t buy. He has bad manners and no class. He’s not the first bad mannered, low class QB the Bears have had on their team.

  A no class QB playing for a no class team that belongs to a no class city. What do you expect??

  Did you know the engagement ring is a rather (less than 100 years old) recent tradition developed and promoted by Debeers (the diamond company).

Jay acts like a spoiled brat and she is a gold digger, their marriage will last no more than 2 weeks.

He proposed once, she called it off. How many times you going to get down on your knees? If she wants to, then however it works the second time and it works for her, works for me.

if she is ok with that then she should expect nothing more in the marriage … NOTHING. He appears to have the personality of a sloth.

  He’s an idiot for marrying her (he hasn’t yet.. maybe he can wise up), she’ll take him for half his wealth.

If you think that’s bad, you should see how he treats his offensive line!

(Of course, they don’t exactly have his back most of the time since he’s usually laying on it).

If they hadn’t been engaged before it would be different. But in this lawyer ed up day and age there can’t be any dispute now. They have text messages and a shipping receipt for evidence. They are officially engaged. Hopefully negotiations proceed to be civil and productive on the prenuptial.

I have heard of the text message with no rings to follow, and marrage at a courthouse.

You do know of course, on the wedding night he will sustain a “Knee” injury and not be able to complete the rest of the night. Caleb Heine will have to come in and substitute.

who the heck cares??? The only one it should matter to is the one being proposed to, maybe they have a very matter of fact relationship, maybe this is just what works for them…there are actually some very happy couples out there who are not all mushy and romantic. Maybe this is why their relationship works, because they feel the same out romance (or lack thereof) Plenty of reasons to diss the guy but this is not one of them.

  Thank goodness he didn’t drag her by the ankles or she’d fill up with rocks. :D
