Excuse the baseball terminology. Curb your enthusiasm, Jay Cutler. First, you were crucified for your perceived cry-baby role in the well-documented, messy breakup from the Denver Broncos; well, mainly just from Josh McDaniels and his immediate blundering of the franchise. Now, via chat, you’ve been assumed to evoke memories of Bad Rex Grossman. Isn’t it illegal to be mean to diabetics? (more…)
That didn’t take long, now did it? He hasn’t even fumbled a snap under center, thrown an ill-timed pick six, or impregnated your sister yet, and the Sex Cannon is already being received less-than-positively in Houston. Just wait until Matt Schaub destroys a lateral meniscus.
If you hadn’t heard, Rex Grossman signed with the Houston Texans. By all accounts–okay, just his account–he’s happy in the system, just glad to compete… yada, yada, yada. But what you might find mind-boggling, as Rex admits, is how “there wasn’t a whole lot of teams to choose from, to be honest.”
It wasn’t a coincidence that just two days ago he put up his Lake Forest home for sale. Rex Grossman has found new work, finally, and it’s with the Houston Texans.
Grossman and the Texans have agreed to a one-year deal worth the league minimum of $745,000. He has a good shot to supplant both Dan Orlovsky and Alex Brink immediately as the back-up to starting quarterback Matt Schaub.
Whether he has a good lead on prospective work elsewhere or not, Rex Grossman has decided that maybe staying in Chicago isn’t the best idea. That’s right, he’s taking his “I Go Deep” show on the road and selling his house.
Once filled with memories of the better days; a September 2006 Offensive Player of the Month award, pictures of him with Bernard Berrian and Muhsin Muhammad on a guys-only bowling night, and game tape of his 2005 return versus Atlanta; the house will now only remain to serve as a partial answer to the proverbial question: “How did that guy sleep at night?” (more…)
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…)
