When the world's ballsiest train wreck calls you "a train wreck with balls," you know you're doing something right, Rex. [Nerd Tears] More »

John Beck Gets To Be The Next Redskins Starting QB To Screw Everything Up

Dom Cosentino — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 11:10:00 EDT

According to Dan Steinberg, Mike Shanahan's decision to make a change for Sunday's game at the Panthers makes Beck the 13th different starter in Dan Snyder's tenure as owner. To which Steinberg added: "Name them all, and then punch yourself in the face." [D.C. Sports Bog] More »

The Cowboys Didn't Lose Last Night, But It Wasn't For Lack Of Trying

Conor Hastings — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 07:58:30 EDT

If you were watching the ESPN postgame last night you probably heard a lot about how Tony Romo and the Cowboys "dug deep." This is a nice way of crediting the winners of an ugly, sloppily played game, which I've reduced here to a few of its ugliest, most sloppily played moments. More »

Noted Chubby Quarterback Makes Widely Derided Prediction

Barry Petchesky — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 11:55:00 EDT

Rex Grossman is the No.1 quarterback on the Redskins' depth chart. I know that means close to absolute zero in the long term, but c'mon: read that first sentence again. More »

McNabb Benched Because Rex Grossman Has Better Grasp Of 60-Minute Offense, Or Something

Tommy Craggs — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 10:35:36 EST

CSN's Kelli Johnson reports: "Just learned that Rex Grossman is starting over McNabb Sun in Dallas; I'm told Redskins Lockeroom is divided and guys are extremely upset." [@kjohnsoncsn] More »

Chicago Has Pretty Much Completely Turned On Jay Cutler

Barry Petchesky — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:30:00 EST

It's bad; they've taken to calling him "Jay McNown." But the beleaguered QB finds an unlikely defender in the father of former Bears washout Rex Grossman. Dan Grossman's endorsement floated 50 yards and was intercepted by Brian Griese. [Chicago Tribune] More »

The Sex Cannon Era in Chicago Appears To Be Over

A.J. Daulerio — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 13:50:07 EST

That's what newly signed quarterback Brett Basanez seems to indicate. Or, rather, what the Bears have told him.[Mouthpiece Sports.com] More »

Rex Grossman or Kyle Orton? A Coin Flip Shall Decide Chicago's Quarterbacking Fate

Clay Travis — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:15:40 EDT

It's only July and already Bears fans are terrified. Who's going to start at quarterback: The mediocre bearded guy or the mediocre short guy? Well, even the players themselves can't decide. So they did what any reasonable, competitive football player would do...they flipped a coin. Cue the Chicago Tribune: More »

There's Only One Answer To The Bears' QB Problem

Leitch — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 15:30:01 EDT

After Sexy Rexy Grossman's third consecutive — or fourth, or fifth, or whatever — horrific appearance last week, Bears fans are screaming for backup Brian Griese. But let's not forget: He's got plenty of baggage himself. More »

The Underrated Legs Of Rex Grossman

mjdeadspin — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 16:29:22 EST

The good people at SomethingAwful threw together some inspired Super Bowl photoshop work. And because it's excellent and because I'm having a difficult time letting go of football, I cobbled together a few of my favorite into the above image... I hope they don't mind. More »

When Will The Media Elite Stop Tearing Down Our White Heroes?

rickchand — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 11:00:05 EST

Every debate needs comic relief, and God bless him, Rush Limbaugh is always good for that. The former director of promotions for the Kansas City Royals in the early 1980s, and at one time the word's fifth-leading importer of OxyContin (behind Brazil), Limbaugh has become in recent years obsessed with the race of NFL quarterbacks. First it was Donovan McNabb, and now Rex Grossman. More »

Rex Grossman Would Rather Not See Dudes Kissing

Leitch — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 15:15:18 EST

You might remember the above ad during the Super Bowl last night, in which two car mechanics "accidentally" kissed because of their intense desire for a Snickers bar. (It's the one where they start ripping out their chest hair in response, which is totally manly.) Well, Towleroad checked out the official Snickers site for the ad, After The Kiss, which features various Super Bowl participants — including the Sex Cannon! — "reacting" to the ad. More »

It Washes Away Memories From The Sidewalks Of Life

Leitch — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 10:30:00 EST

When we look back at Super Bowl XLI in a few years, what will we remember most? The Sex Cannon's free-flying vertical missives into the night? Tony Dungy at last setting race relations straight in this country? Jimmy Fallon sitting next to Janet Reno on a couch? We figure the lasting image of Super Bowl XLI will be of rain, rain, glorious rain. More »

Perhaps He Was Looking Forward Too Much To Next New Years Eve

Leitch — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 09:15:54 EST

We know this has been beaten into the ground by now, but really do consider it instructive to think of not only of the Indianapolis Colts as the St. Louis Cardinals, but also the Chicago Bears as the Detroit Tigers. In the former example, a team that had earned much recent success finally won a championship with one of its lesser teams (in a relatively dull deciding game/series). In the latter example, the guy(s) who throw all the balls kept making inexplicable, dunderheaded errors at the worst possible times. In the Tigers' case, it was the five pitcher errors; in the Bears', it was Rex Grossman. More »

Rex Grossman, Like Jim McMahon, But Without The Sunglasses And Headband

Leitch — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 10:30:19 EST

We don't mean to imply that Bears fans can get a little crazy in their devotion to their team — they can, but they're usually not mean about it — but this sign, seen at Soldier Field yesterday, seems a bit much. We're amazed this actually stayed up, we really are. More »

Bears Exist Despite The Wretched, Incompetent, Vapid Mess That Is Rex Grossman

Leitch — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 10:00:35 EST

Now listen: We know and understand how inconsistent Bears quarterback Rex Grossman has been there year. Anyone who had him in fantasy football understand that. But the guy is not Kyle Orton (mostly); you could even have made an argument for him (and Brett Favre) as the third Pro Bowl quarterback after Drew Brees and Marc Bulger (instead of Tony Romo). We know that says more about quarterbacking in the NFC than it does Grossman's inherent skill, but our point is: The guy's not completely helpless ... all the time, at least. More »

That's One Way To Handle The Tempest That Is Rex Grossman

Leitch — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 16:45:12 EST

The main question in the NFC this weekend: How will Bears quarterback Rex Grossman play? That is to say: Is he going to completely wreck the Bears again, or will he occasionally throw the ball forward and to a gentleman in the correct jersey? More »

It's Rex Grossman's World, And We Are Just Satellites

Leitch — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 17:15:18 EST

We might make the argument that the most compelling figure in the NFL right now is Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman. This is a guy who, at times — that is to say, during times that weren't in the last month-plus — has looked like a legitimate NFL quarterback, a guy who is a leader, as they say, whoever they are. But of late, he has made Bears fans pine for the days of Kyle Orton, which is very similar to us: We will always pine for the days of Kyle Orton. More »
