Just look at this guy for a moment, would you? You do realize how zero passer ratings become possible? It happens when every waking second is spent musing over all the vajay your penis will soon be encountering. It’s Rex’s problem and, now, he’s the Redskins problem. On a side note: Oh, please, Washington: Trade Jason Campbell A.S.A.P.! (customary “Rexy Back” video after the jump) (more…)
Rex Grossman deserves a break. He was lambasted in Chicago and basically run out of town in such a flurry, he forgot to not sell his Trump Tower condo for $700,000 less than it was worth. Worse yet, Focket Imuhgodeep Real Estate just took a huge hit. (more…)
When you stumble into a neighborhood bar at 3 a.m., there is probably a laundry list of things you wish to see: available seats, cheap drink specials and a still-open kitchen would certainly be among those things, right? But, how about a giant-sized, full-wall mural of Chicagoish sports icons, featuring Brian Urlacher holding a flaunting Rex Grossman ever-so-closely while a very satisfied Brett Favre looks on? No … no, I bet you didn’t think of that!

Sometimes, you watch the Chicago Bears be horribly mediocre against a one-win team from places not called Soldier Field. This was not one of those times.
Ah, yes, Soldier Field: Home of the Chicago Bears, team of destiny Monsters of the Midway a team in the NFL. Not ever having been to Soldier Field before, I wasn’t quite sure what my seating situation would look like; but I was pleasantly relieved to not only be within short distance of the bathroom and concessions, but the idiot wearing the Rex Grossman jersey, as well. That was me, actually. (more…)
Jay Cutler was supposed to be the Chicago Bears’ answer to the long-running quarterback deficiencies that, for so many years, presumably hindered the franchise from winning for any real extended period of time. He was their Messiah, the all-time missing link to a Super Bowl-shuffle sequel. But, now that the Bears have their franchise quarterback, they find themselves in the very unfortunate position of mediocrity. Well, at least, they’ve proven it wasn’t just the quarterback. (more…)
It’s good to see that the NFL still gets the same old Rex.
Epic LOL.
Nearly three months have passed since the Bears and Rex Grossman parted ways, yet Rex remains unemployed.
It’s unclear if teams are hesitant to hire the oft-maligned veteran because of the sheer velocity of his deep bombs, his unwavering commitment to hitting the man in the flat, or his penchant for DOING VERY, VERY, STUPID THINGS. (more…)
First off, I wish I could give proper credit for the logo design. So if you’re the genius behind it, get in touch and we’ll be sure to give due credit.
Rex Grossman’s six-year career in Chicago is over almost as soon as it began. In only 31 career starts, Sexy Rexy threw a very average 33 TD’s and 35 INT’s for just over 6,000 yards with a 70.2 QB rating.
As the clock strikes midnight ET on Thursday, Grossman will officially become a free agent and end the love-hate (mostly hate) relationship between himself and the Bears faithful.
It made me wonder, as ridiculously detested as he was, what might Bears fans hate less? I present “Ten Things Hated Less Than Rex Grossman.” (more…)
T.J. Houshmandzadeh is a cool dude, he went to my high school — albeit years earlier — and he’s got the best last name in pro football. Yesterday, he was on the Waddle and Silvy show on WMVP-AM 1000 talking his future plans.
When asked about potentially coming to Chicago to play, the free agent-to-be didn’t necessarily count it out, but for the most part gave an answer you’d expect of any player on the cusp of a big payday.
“They have to be interested first,” might as well have been “I don’t care who is filling my bank account as long as it’s full.” But he wants to win too, so Chicago probably doesn’t have the inside track.
Houshmandzadeh’s most revealing comment had more to do with his interest in a departing Bear than his interest in arriving.
“You know what’s funny, man? Y’all probably going to laugh at me when I tell you this; I kind of like Rex Grosman. He continued, “I always watched on T.V. how they give Rex Grossman a hard time. I don’t know why. He takes chances, but when those chances pay off, nobody talks about them.”
Speakin’ the truth, T.J. Speakin’ the truth.
Whether you liked him or loathed him, the point is mute.
It took Rex Grossman all but a handful of horrific performances and one memorable Super Bowl dud to play his way out of Chicago. He could surely refine his mechanics, regain his confidence and play well again; it’ll just be for some other team in some other city.
Nate Vasher, on the other hand, would be a surprise departure two years ago. The last two years have been hell for ‘The Interceptor’ as he’s played in only 12 games due to sporadic injuries to his groin, hand, thumb and shoulder.
Vasher, 27, has all the tools to still be a playmaker somewhere else; he’ll just need to stay healthy. His cap number for this year is somewhere around $2.9 million and letting him walk should free up cash to be better spent elsewhere. (more…)
Probable. Could play. Expected. And even expected to be probable.
The speculatory words used to describe Orton’s playing status tomorrow versus Green Bay shouldn’t inspire much confidence that the scruffy signal caller will actually take the field.
Orton is recovering from an ankle injury suffered two weeks ago, originally believed to be a high-ankle sprain. When it looked as if he’d be sidelined for at least a month, Orton didn’t think he’d miss one game. Well, he did, and such is the conflict between optimism and reality. Here’s to his return tomorrow belonging to the latter.
Of course, it’s ridiculous. Right? RIGHT?!
As soon as Rex Grossman’s fourth down pass to Devin Hester fell incomplete, putting an end to any hope of a Bears comeback versus Tennessee, you had to know this would be coming.
I mean, it’s no secret that when the starting quarterback is struggling, the back-up QB is the most popular man in town. Nobody knows this better than Bears fans. And when the starting QB is hurt and it’s the back-up that is struggling, well then, all of a sudden Caleb Hanie looks quite studly. (more…)
