By Matthew Schwerha

From the makers of the Derrick Rose shrine that popped up on Chicago streets earlier in 2015, the above piece of art honors Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler.

The piece, done by “Bae Cutler,” is described by the artist as “jay doing his jordan shrug of apathy.”

“Bae” stands for “before anyone else” and has been adopted by many as an alternative to “babe” or “baby.”

The Cutler piece can be found at the corner of Diversey and Sacramento in Logan Square.

Currently sitting at 0-1, the Bears will try and even up their record this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals at Soldier Field.

Chicago Cubs' broadcaster Harry Caray sings "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch at Chicago's Wrigley Field in 1989.

Columnists

Why did Harry Caray always say ‘Holy Cow?’ It could be linked to a 1930s flying bovine. No bull!

In 1930, a 15-year-old Harry Caray was living in St. Louis when the city hosted an aircraft exhibition honoring aviator Charles Lindbergh. “The ‘first ever’ cow to fly in an airplane was introduced at the exhibition,” said Grant DePorter, Harry Caray restaurants manager. “She became the most famous cow in the world at the time and is still listed among the most famous bovines along with Mrs. O’Leary’s cow and ‘Elsie the cow.’”
