Former NFL tackle Greg Koch, who was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame last summer, had some harsh words for Bears quarterback Jay Cutler after Cutler bowed out of Sunday’s NFC championship game because of a knee injury.
Koch, in a radio interview with station KILT in Houston, where he lives, had the following to say about Cutler:
“As I mentioned last week and on Saturday’s show, the factor that was going to come down to that game was the X-factor, the Cutler factor, and man, I just never thought that his tampon would fall out on national TV,” Koch said.
Koch was a noted tough guy. He missed only two games in his entire 11 year career, nine of which were with the Packers (1977-85).
“There’s no mentality,” Koch added. ”If you’re a professional athlete, you answer the bell until they tell you there’s no way to play. You can brace that thing.
“Let me tell you something, nobody would’ve kept Tom Brady off the field if he wanted to play. Nobody would’ve kept Peyton Manning off the field. Then you don’t just sit on the sideline and ride a bike like a little girl. … 
The only thing I can think of is maybe Colt McCoy’s dad visited him in the locker room at halftime to try and pump him up.”
