The Bennett brothers are the best. They’ll say anything about anyone at anytime. In a league full of robots afraid to ruin their brand, Martellus and Michael Bennett’s brand is basically telling the truth and not caring about any repercussions.
And oh, they don’t like Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. Martellus, a tight end now with the New England Patriots, played with the Bears the past three seasons. Michael, a defensive end for the Seattle Seahawks, doesn’t really like quarterbacks in general. So when Cutler came up during a wide-ranging and hilarious interview with ESPN.com, the Bennetts (surprise, surprise) didn’t hold back.
“Worst quarterback in the NFL,” Michael Bennett said.
“I’d be open and he’d throw into double coverage,” Martellus said.
Well then.
Cutler has always been a controversial figure but rarely has had a former teammate (and his brother) blast him like that.
But the Bennetts don’t hold back about anybody. Like Michael’s assessment of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
“A–hole. Nah, I’m just joking — you can’t say that. Overpaid,” Michael Bennett said.
Michael also compared sacking a quarterback to sex. The ESPN.com story talked about seeing Martellus tried to get a hug from “Saved By the Bell” actress Elizabeth Berkley when he saw her on the street in Los Angeles, how Martellus called J.J. Watt “corny” and said he hated Jason Witten. Both took sarcastic shots at Sam Bradford (“A real Joe Montana,” Michael said). There’s really no filter with them.
So Cutler shouldn’t feel too bad. The Bennett brothers don’t hold back on anyone.
