Caleb Hanie Takes Over For Todd Collins Jay Cutler Out

Packers Vs. Bears: Caleb Hanie Takes Over For Todd Collins; Jay Cutler Out

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Hanie, whom none of us have ever heard of, has taken over for QB Todd Collins behind center. FOX’s Chris Myers mentions Hanie’s mobility as being highly preferable to Collins’, so there’s that. But who in the world is Caleb Hanie?

Jay Cutler is apparently out of the game due to his knee injury, leading many to question his heart and toughness and patriotism and so forth. At one point Brian Urlacher was seen speaking to Cutler, who just kept moping around the sideline with his coat on. Since Hanie was inserted before the fourth quarter began, he's the only quarterback allowed to play for Chicago from this point on.

Hanie has played in five games, completing eight regular season passes, in his three seasons since leaving Colorado State. Caleb Hanie? He went undrafted in 2008, and apparently has been a fan favorite among certain Bears fan circles.

The Bears have actually gotten the ball moving on Hanie’s first drive, so maybe somebody was on to something.

Lindsey Vonn of the U.S. won today’s super-G in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, ahead of Germany’s Maria Riesch, the leader of the overall World Cup standings.

The 26-year-old Vonn, who tops the super-G competition over Riesch, clocked 1 minute, 22.64 seconds, just five-hundredths of a second faster than the German. Switzerland’s Lara Gut was third.

Vonn, the three-time defending World Cup overall champion, trails Riesch by 145 points. Austria’s Elisabeth Goergl is a further 459 points behind. The American has a 151-point advantage over Riesch in the super-G competition.
