Well, friends, the season is over. The Bears have no shot at a Super Bowl and Rex Grossman has no future in the NFL. It has finally been revealed that the idea of going undefeated was a bunch of “hokum” and now we must accept the fate of going one-and-out in the playoffs. Or at least, that’s what the all-knowledgeable Jay Mariotti is trying to tell us.
Jay has a new punching bag on this team, and he has hung the pathetic nickname “Rex the Hex” on him. Yes, folks, Jay has taken the difficult position of being overly critical of a player who has started less than a season’s worth of games. He even went so far as to name drop Cade McNown in his bashing of Rex:
I saw Cade McNown at a downtown restaurant recently, but who knew he cloned his No. 8 from six years ago and hung it on Rex’s shoulders?
Wow, Jay! Cade McNown! You must be hanging at all the hot spots! You’re so hip- you really have your finger on the pulse of Chicago, you short little bastard. And yes. Rex Grossman is the next Cade McNown. He obviously has no future in this league. I say we waive him. Jay even has a replacement in mind:
...the calls for a proven Brian Griese will begin.
Wow. “Proven” is the adjective you go for with Brian Griese? What exactly has been “proven” about him? That he is a mediocre quarterback who is over thirty years old and has been passed around the league like a hot potato? The Bears have a future to think about, Jay. They aren’t going to overreact after every bad game.
As we all know, Rex wasn’t great yesterday. He had a bad game. But we have the ability to look at the bigger picture and see that calls to replace the young quarterback would only be made by, well… short and whiney sports columnists with an inferiority complex. We understand that his favorite receiver was injured early, leaving Rex to throw to someone who was obviously on a different page. We understand that a rookie punt returner fumbled the ball inside the ten yard line, making this much more of a blowout than it actually was. We understand that the Bears are 7-1 and have a stranglehold on their division. But most of all, we understand that they probably just weren’t pumped up for a game against a crappy team.
Remember last month when Jay wrote a glowing column about Lovie (the same one where he misquoted Rex Grossman)? The gist of that column was that Lovie would keep this team fired up - even against less than stellar teams. Once again, Jay was wrong.

Tyrone, that was an excellent job today. You are in fine fettle. And, in less than a week we get the Eagles and the Beatles referenced. What’s next? The cutting edge ruminations of Pat Boone? Maybe a scintillating article dissecting the meaning of the Archie’s ‘Sugar Sugar’ as it relates to the NFL? This pile of vitriolic vomit should have never seen the light of day. |

To all, I have problems- seriously I do. I try so hard not to call Tinky a “homosexual”, not write the way I do, but I just can’t seem to help myself.
Does he do it on purpose? Is this his ammunition and secret ploy to turn all the homosexual people against jaythejoke- show how we are homophobs, haters of the gay community? I have gay friends, I’m cool- no problems here- I do hate Rosie though- not cause she’s a lesbian, she’s just a fat annoying cow that can talk-
I just can’t help it. Sorry to all. As Jay put it I’m just a “bastard” anyway.

Funniest point of the day. Jay is demanding answers. As Jamel has already opinioned, does tiny think that anyone takes him seriously enough to provide him with an answer?
Summary of questions that Jay has wanted an answer to in the past few months.
Add the new demand of wanting to know why Urlacher was on the field late Saturday and Jay has a lot of issues he is waiting for resolution on. Call me crazy, but I have no problem that Urlacher was on the field. The Bears have stressed all year that they win and lose as a team. What would it look like with Urlacher standing on the sidelines while Harris, Briggs, and Vasher continued playing. There was even a precedent for tiny to refer to as earlier this season against Buffalo. All the starters remained in a blowout game to try and protect the shutout. Jay didn’t notice anything wrong that day. We all know why. Because the Bears won. So when you’re winning everyone gets to enjoy it, but when your losing it’s ok not to play? How about the game against the Cardinals? Should the Bears have been resting their defense in the 4th quarter of that game? I can only imagine Jay’s high school badmitten team having to put up with him forfeiting his matches after he lost the first set. Why is tiny so concerned? The Bears played a stinker on Sunday. Who cares? They still control their division and if they go 2-1 on their three game road trip they will still be on top of the NFC. Tiny’s calling for Griese again. Why? Grossman is still young and young QB’s have growing pains. Griese is a tremendous upgrade from years past, but Grossman has earned the right to play through his mistakes. And while the defense didn’t play great Sunday, 14 points against can be attributed to the offense and special teams. So you can rest easy knowing that the defense is going to give you a chance to win each game. I’ll take my chances with Rex the next few weeks. I know tiny was waiting to write this column since week #1 of the season (and it’s pretty much a re-write of the slam column we all know he had written about the Arizona game minus the references to cactus and tumbleweed). So let him bask in his negative glory. |

F***tard wanted Urlacher of the field cause he’s a loser and a quiter.

Wasn’t it F***tard who bitched and moaned about the White Flag trade a few years back? |

Hey everyone, New post up. Nice call on the White Flag trade Tyrone, I thought about bringing that up as well. Happy Election Day. |
