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

    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 »

    Grossman Heroically Leads Bears To Another Victory

    Tidbits and info smidgens from Week 12 in the NFL ...

    • We kind of love that Rex Grossman got so excited after the Bears' bizarre win over the Broncos yesterday. It was a vintage Bears game; Only one offensive touchdown, an inspiring 17-for-33 day for Grossman, Cedric Benson with 47 yards and ... oh, two Devin Hester touchdowns. (This has led to a new KSK character.) And after the game, Grossman was jumping around like he'd just pulled off the Flutie Heave. Do you think he went home and told everyone, "I won the game! I got the Bears back on track!" and everyone just has to smile and nod and try to look away without giggling? We'll say it one more time: Bring Back Orton. More »

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

    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 »

    Bring Back Orton!

    News and notes from Week 3 in the NFL ...

    • At this point, it seems obvious to everyone, presumably even Lovie Smith: Rex Grossman isn't going to cut it anymore. A normal person might have realized this after he, you know, fell apart in the Super Bowl — the Super Bowl! — but sometimes that sample size just ain't big enough. But now, at last, we know: It's Kyle Orton time, everybody.

    The Underrated Legs Of Rex Grossman


    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?

    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

    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

    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

    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 »
