Five on Five: Heads up

1. How long should Jay Cutler sit out?

Bill Arnett: This is No. 3, right? Does he like his family/want to remember them?

Matt Pais: As long as he needs to. Head injuries are serious business.

Jane Monzures: At the very latest this afternoon, even if he can't remember his offensive linemen's names.

Kat Velez: As long as it takes to get over his concussion. Those are no joke.

Bear Jordan: If he looks at me and doesn't know he should run away screaming, it's too soon to play.

2. Give Charles Tillman's daughter a nickname.

Bill Arnett: "Peanut II: The Wrath of Khan."

Matt Pais: Obviously, "Tiny Peanut," which would not sound as affectionate if he had a son.

Jane Monzures: "Cashew."

Kat Velez: "Goober."

Bear Jordan: "Shelly."

3. What would you consider a successful road trip for the Bulls?

Bill Arnett: Beer, hijinks, crash wedding of Noah's old girlfriend so she won't marry that preppy douche.

Matt Pais: Not running out of gas, not forgetting anyone at Subway. And some wins.

Jane Monzures: When they find Josh's girlfriend, Tiffany, in Austin, Texas.

Kat Velez: No one dies or gets seriously injured.

Bear Jordan: Finding the ideal D-Rose replacement in an airport bar.

4. Backup quarterbacks are to the NFL as ...

Bill Arnett: ... ketchup packets. You toss `em in the fridge just in case, but you hate having to use them.

Matt Pais: ... Lotto winners are to society. They typically earn a lot for showcasing no skill at all.

Jane Monzures: ... flats are to my legs.

Kat Velez: ... enforcers are to the NHL -- you don't want them out there for more than five minutes a game.

Bear Jordan: ... berries are to my diet. Not my first choice.

5. If NASCAR drivers are tweeting from their cars, what's next?

Bill Arnett: Accidents. Many accidents.

Matt Pais: A lot of terrible accidents, probably.

Jane Monzures: Fast-food drive through windows in the pits.

Kat Velez: They'll be updating Pinterest with beer can chicken recipes.

Bear Jordan: Drivers doing their business midrace.
