The Saints Come Marching In

Rex Grossman, man of redemption? May be a little early to tell, but with the Bears victory over the Seahawks on Sunday, in overtime no less, Grossman had his chance to prove himself to the critics (myself included) and prove himself he did. Grossman was 21/38 with 282 yards, a td, a pick which was a tipped pass, and a fumble. Not stellar numbers, and Grossman still looked uncomfortable in the pocket, forcing a lot of passes, but he does have it in him to be a team leader, especially after an incredibly placed 67 yard pass to Berrian. All eyes were on the young Robbie Gould, out of Penn State, and Gould himself never wavered, quoted as saying, "I knew it was good as soon as soon as it came out," but he did have me worried, as the ball was slicing like one of my golf drives. The Bears face a formidable foe in the Saints, who alot of people are calling "Americas team" a la Hurricane Katrina. Good, fuck the Cowboys, and fuck Texas. The only good thing to come out of Texas was the ability to produce the Houston Astros, whom my Chicago White Sox wiped the floor with in the World Series. Americas Team? We'll see on Sunday.

Rex Grossman Just Doesn't Give a Fuck

Rex Grossman doesn't play on holidays of importance. Which makes sense now, because he hasn't been playing that well on Sundays, which, as all of us know, is the Catholic day of rest. Jerry Angelo is the only man to put this blame on, because he should have just hired a Protestant or Quaker quarterback. I mean after all, its just a game, and its fucking NEW YEARS EVE, can't be expected to produce when 2007 is about to roll in can you?Rex Grossman, as told from espn.com:

"In this league, especially at this postion, you have to bring it in every single game, in every single week, no matter what. And the situation was I figured to play about a quarter, or maybe even a half, it was the last game, it was New Years Eve, and there were so many factors that brought my focus away from what is important, and that's something I'm never going to do again."

I do admire that he has the gall to admit that his heart wasn't in the game. This would have been acceptable, say from a veteran quarterback like Brett Favre (cheeseheads would be out for blood) or Tom Brady, but to come from a quarterback whos postition isn't yet solidified is not acceptable. Lovie Smith, a man very capable of doing his job, needs to evaluate Grossman every single snap on Sunday, and if it looks like Grossman has chocolate, boobs, or anything else on his mind, send him to the fucking locker room. A year when .500 teams are capable of going to the super bowl, when the Bears are 13-3 is surely the best chance they have to winning it all. The only thing holding us back is a quarterback with booze on his mind, instead of the ongoing game. I was a believer in the quarterback whose name rhymes with sexy, but when he admits that he isn't all in the game, i say bring in the quarterback whose name rhymes with Fece(s).
