A gang of Pro Bowl football players had been gathered around the tables, swapping stories, when suddenly the Broncos' quarterback
Jay Cutler had 300-pound
Nick Mangold pushing from one side and 310-pound
Kris Dielman holding the other and his cell phone swindled into the hands of a coy
Peyton Manning. Cutler's realizes what they grabbed but he never had a chance. Splash! "We gave him a Pro Bowl baptism," said Dielman, the star offensive guard of the rival
San Diego Chargers. Great fun. Big laughs. There was just one problem. Cutler is a
Type 1 diabetic, and in his pocket was his blood-sugar monitor not his cell. "That was a prank where I thought we were smart enough to get the cellphone out of his pocket," Dielman said. "But then, 'Oops.' " Oops indeed. In their defense, though, some
blood sugar monitors do look slightly cell-phone-esque. Fortunately, Cutler took it all in stride and was able to make a few calls and get a new monitor quickly. Only in a layed back atmosphere as the Pro Bowl would this kind of kid playing around would happen and be this funny.
