Hope everyone had a lovely holiday.
Jay certainly did. He managed to find the time to rip Brian Urlacher for defending a teammate and Charlie Weis for his wardrobe choices. He even dazzled us with yet another mention of fag-gate.
I also heard a rumor that while watching the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special, Jay referred to Brown as “a no-talent loser about as likely to kick that football as Paris Hilton is to win a Grammy.”
Just a rumor.
But alas, we haven’t the time to discuss the past.
Why, you ask?
Because, ladies and gentlemen ... did someone say ... QUARTERBACK CONTROVERSY?!?!
That’s right, another suspect performance by Rex Grossman means the great Griese-Grossman debate is back. And it’s better than ever.
Fire up the sports talk radio! Get me a split screen with two ESPN guys screaming at each other! And get me Dan Jiggetts on the phone!
Ahh, nothing gets the sports media in a tizzy quite like a good old quarterback conundrum.
I must admit, for the first time this season, benching Rex has become a legitimate question.
Jay implies that the Bears should make a switch, but Lovie Smith doesn’t have the “cojones” to do it.
It’s too bad Jay doesn’t go to locker rooms. I’d pay 200 dollars to see him question Lovie’s manhood to his face.
I’m with Lovie in the “stick with Rex” camp. Here’s my explanation.
As erratic as Rex has been, he’s still the best Bears quarterback I’ve seen since Jim McMahon. If I honestly thought Brian Griese gave them a better shot, I would say go for it. But anyone from the Denver area can tell you Griese is far from a sure thing in the playoffs. Just because he had a nice little stretch with Tampa Bay last year and a good preseason playing against scrubs everyone suddenly thinks he’s Johnny Unitas.
Sure, Tony Romo has saved Dallas and Jay Cutler is about to try a resurrection act in Denver. But in both of those cases, which Jay fails to mention, coaches benched suspect journeymen in favor of a possible quarterback of the future.
For the Bears, a switch would be the exact opposite.
It would have been nice for Rex to have a great game Sunday and quiet all the doubters. He didn’t. And like Jay said, having the season in his hands right now is “a scary thought”
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t the right decision.

You could almost hear Jay’s tiny fingers hammering out his latest attempt at journalism. He had to backspace a bit when Brady used Urlacher for a turnstile, but all in all it was another column that was 90% written in the 3rd quarter. Jay is certainly the jet setter these days. He drops a byline from L.A. on Sunday morning and manages to hop a flight across the country so he can watch the Bears “in person”. This coming from a guy who is no “beat reporter”. I love how this site it getting to you Jay. Rex looked bad yesterday. And it’s not a good feeling that teams seemed to have figured him out. But the Bears have the luxury of trying to work through it in the games ahead. The division is in hand, and the conference is still in control. Besides, Jay needs Rex playing in the playoffs so he can write a big column the day before the game about Griese needing to play and how the Bears will be one and done without him. And to Pat….Congrats on the engagement. Your dad mentioned it in his daily blog today. Good luck! |

Well thought out post. The hypocrisy of Little Man is more interesting, though. I love how the first line of the column was that a championship should be the first priority. To whom? To the fans? Yes. But Little Man claims over, and over, and over again that he is not a fan of any Chicago team, so Little Man isn’t in that camp. Does a championship matter to the Bears? Surely. But Little Man has also constantly reminded us that he hates the powers that be for ALL Chicago sports teams, so he’s not in that category either. I write this to provide a small amount of gravitas when reading Little Man’s columns and to remind everyone that Rex failure’s are Little Man’s dreams come true. How many columns about the Bears when they were playing very well? Very few. But now that they are faltering (a bit) Little Man can pose as someone who cares whether they win or lose. He doesn’t. Therefore, his disingenuous musings are a moot point. As to whether Rex should be sat- No. Way. A simple change needs to be made. Turner and SMith need to sit him down and threaten Kyle Orton treatment. Simply, that his only job is not not lose the game. Tell Rex that his main job is to prevent mistakes, and that the only way he gets benched is if he continually makes stupid plays (i.e., fumble at the 5 yard line, wild throws to receivers who are double covered). Rex is still young- a stern talking to should calm him down enough. He keeps up the bad behavior and stupid mistakes, and he has to stand in the corner. |

America’s Biggest Ass-Clown = Jay Mariotti I’m becoming more and more convinced that Gay Mary Otti is seeking the title of “most loathed sportswriter” in the country. Perhaps he’s decided that being universally loathed will grant him far greater notoriety than would come if he merely offered insight, opinion, honesty, and integrity on a regular basis. He’s at the career point where it doesn’t matter how bad the material he cranks out because the stench will draw attention, and any attention is better than no attention. So how best to enhance one’s notoriety, take on those things that sports fans are drawn to and paint them in as negative a light as possible. Brian Urlacher? Take the answer to one question and twist it to fit another. Joe Cowley? Pick up on the pettiness of New York and go one further (hey, its even more notorious to have your peers openly loathe you). Notre Dame? Get metrosexual about coaches attire while trying to draw inferences that are marginal to non-existent. The Bears? Predict them to lose (Sunday) and when they lose you claim that they won’t win a Super Bowl the way they’re currently playing (Monday). Perhaps it was good that over the holiday Jay the Joke wasn’t regularly updated. I’m beginning to sense that Gay has decided to point to the criticism as proof that any attention, even bad attention, is better than no attention. Even if it means being a duplcious windsock without any sense of honesty or integrity. |

The Hawks just fired Trent Yawney (he’s the coach, by the way); how long will we go before Tinky finally gets around to a “Wirtz-should-sell-the-team” column (ripped right from his “Reinsdorf-should-sell-his-teams-but-oops-he-won-a-World-Series” columns)? And how about the Ben Wallace flap? The Tribune had FOUR items on that today (two by K.C. Johnson, one each by Smith and Morrissey). The Joke is surely working on another one of his day-late, dollar-short columns that add absolutely no insights into the situation. Matt made a great point: why doesn’t the MDF show up at a Bears (or Sox or Cubs or Bulls) news conference and ask the questions he so bravely poses in his useless columns directly to the head guy? Or arrange a one-on-one and debate his points like a real journalist? Let’s face it, he’s got a great deal: half a million/year to blog. |

Hey everyone, hope you all had a great weekend. I had a nice weekend up until yesterday, when I watched that idiot Grossman lose the game. Stupid fuckhead. I’m not on the “Quarterback Controversy” bandwagon yet, but come on, dammit, play ball. If they lose another game (they shouldn’t, based on the schedule), and it’s his fault, I say bench him. This team is built to win at least the NFC title game. If they go one and done again I swear I’m going to kill Jamel. |

Other than getting slapped in the chin with them, what does Jay know? You gotta admire how Gay can write about another man’s cajones when he himself is utterly unable to demonstrate the possession of any of his own. He questions the coach for sticking with his quarterback and suggests it is because he lacks to the cajones make a change. But where are/were Jay’s cajones? On Sunday he predicted a Patriots blow-out unless the coach wore a suit (that’s real football insight there, mister), but in Monday’s column he writes the Bears should have won. Real cajones there, the big windsocking type. |

It is amazing the amount of crap the little one has cranked out over the last few days. He advocates a College playoff system even though the idea has been repeatedly killed for silly reasons that involve reality. You know, like 90% of those kids have no shot at the pros and kind of need to go to classes. Then, while he got the Urlacher quote right, he took it completely out of context and wrote a column* that not only needed to be shelved by any editor still conscience, it needed to be shredded as well. And now this mess. Okay, Rex played poorly. Oddly enough, I noticed that too. I also noticed that the Bears’ defense gave the Patriots fits as well. There were parts of the game that more closely resembled a rugby scrum than an NFL game. So, who cares? The Bears won 2 out of 3 on their East Coast trip (a number F***tard said was the only proof of their talent before the road trip started), they are 9-2 and are in position to do some postseason damage against a tottering NFC. I am okay with that. And, I had a lovely weekend and not even F***tard can not destroy that. Welcome back everyone. |

In true F***tard Fudd fashion Keith is back, posting here and there on jaythejoke. Only a week or two ago a post arose, just like a F***tard column does, about how jaythejoke was a waste of time, Keith/ny ex had seen his errors in the past and even called this blog a waste of time. Yet, here he is again, banging away on his keyboard like a fucking monkey.

Jamel, thank you. I needed a good laugh this morning after watching that pathetic excuse for a “game” yesterday. I have deep mental issues? Ha ha. So says the man who has masqueraded in the past as “god” and Jesse Jackson? Says the guy who tried to milk some sympathy from everyone by telling us that his brother died of testicular cancer? You’re an idiot, man. But seriously, please either get laid or go back to your hole and get high, because I don’t like all this negativity from you. Frankly, it’s depressing. |
|

You are waste of time Keith. Stating that I was God and Jesse Jackson and even about my brother is very sad indeed. Get help Keith. You are slowly following the paths of F***tard Fudd. |
|
|
Plus, why are you posting here anyway? |
|
|
I always post here, numb nuts. And since when have you started the “I-Hate-Keith” club? What the fuck, man? |

I always post here, numb nuts. And since when have you started the “I-Hate-Keith” club? What the fuck, man? Posted by ny-exchicagoan on 11/27 at 02:35 PM Ugh. You guys are still here? Do you not realize you are all co-dependent fuckheads?? Get a life, people. I have seen the folly of my ways, the total wasteland my existence amounted to by devoting so much time to this stupid blog. Stop riding on Pat and his bitch’s coattails and get a real life, people. This whole waiting around like vultures to pounce on Mariotti’s columns and then seeing what your wonderful lord Tyrone and his talking parrot Jamel think up next is beyond lame. You guys are all stupid. STUPID!!! Posted by ny-exchicagoan on 11/16 at 05:51 PM But the time away from you codependent losers has done me good. Yes, I still hate Mariotti and wish him dead. But I don’t have the same feeling of comraderie that I used to on here. I now look on all of you with pity and disgust. On the one hand, I wish you would all become healthy, contributing members of society. On the other hand, I’d love for all of you to be rounded up in a “shower” room and be gassed. Ring a bell Keith Fudd? |
|

I hope F***tard Fudd and Keith Fudd take this test. Please get the help you need.
|

Well, I did say that I hope you become healthy, contributing members of society, didn’t I? And didn’t I refer to Tyrone as a “lord”? Sure, you are his parrot, but it’s better than being his bitch, isn’t it? And the only reason I called you his parrot is because first you started ragging on him for posting long-ass comments, and then you do the same thing. So that’s why you are his parrot, get it dumb fuck? Anyway, let’s let bygones be bygones, all right? We all know you’ve said some inflammatory shit, too, Jamel. Okay? Friends? |

Click HERE to look at the nice lady wearing nothing but my company’s thong and relax. You’ll feel a whole lot better. BTW, she’s a mother of 3 and up for one of those MILF epsiodes that Playboy occasionally runs. Don’t worry Matt and Pat. I will rip it down in a little bit. |
|

Thanks, BigBadBill. My children were with me and wanted to see the picture of the “nice lady”. A thong is otherwise referred to as a sandal, so I thought nothing of it. You bastard. |

Jamel, I took your stupid test, and I scored as an “insensitive” person, somewhat. So, I don’t know really what to make of this. Either you are saying that I’m an insensitive asshole, which would make you sound like a whiny little bitch, or YOU are VERY sensitive, since you started World War 3 because I called you a fucking parrot. Sorry, but that still makes you a whiny bitch. Anyway, it’s water under the bridge. Friends? |

I’m defintely not a member of the “Dump Rex” club. When your center (Olin) says he’s the best QB he’s played with, I tend to give it the weight it deserves. When your teammates feel like that about you, even after a loss, you know that they’re giving it all they have and have confidence in. IOW, they’ll go to war with this guy. Ron Turner’s words meant a lot too. He said that the interceptions weren’t the fault of bad decision making (which, to me, indicates good progress), but that the Patriots made great plays on two of three, and that the execution wasn’t what it needed to be (pass thrown behind the receiver). I see again that “it” (the MDF) uses his favorite new Spanish word. This in terms of Lovie not having the cajones to switch QBs. This brings up the question, “How would a eunich know?” Afterall, that’s why I use the “it” reference. Even if he weren’t he certainly doesn’t have “cajones” (bulls balls). I don’t think that anyone here would dispute that statement. Pax |

And Jamel, you don’t help your case of being a parrot by stealing an idea from your mother’s Cosmo. A sensitivity test? For a person of your maturity and sexual development, a Cosmo is only good for jerking off to. Not for reading, and certainly not for being inspired by it’s countless girly “quizzes”. Homo. |
|

Your comebacks are outstanding Keith Fudd. Very intelligent, very witty. Please tell me to go fuck a pig and crawl up its uterus again. Or, yes, call me a homo, a girly man, a nazi, please gas me, call me a white boy, yes I masturbate to Cosmo, ha ha ha. Fucking pathetic. Right up there with Douchebag F***tard. |

Jamel, Jamel, why the anger? Why the hate? Dude, it’s me. Keith. What the hell, man? |

“He’ll probably write that Ben Wallace is the poor victim of the big, bad Bulls ownership. “
TomD with the correct guess on Mariotti’s column today! Ding Ding Ding! Nice call! |

11/28. The dope is so full of crap it is unbelievable. His 3rd blow-up doll must have got a leak in it when he was trying to get his headband off. Once again, why the references to T.O., Rodman, and Lohan? Ooooh Jay you are sooo hip with pop culture. And you followed it up nicely with the Pam Anderson-Kid Rock reference. You are way too cool for us. Before you jump to conclusions you dope, don’t you really think that before Paxson threw that money at Wallace that all issues were discussed in depth? I believe that Pax spends more time doing his job than you do faking yours. Also, dope, why go back and bang on the dismantling of the old Bulls again? All true fans know what happened. You, dope, look for any reason to rip on all the owners in Chicago. Why don’t you show some cajones of your own and actually go to a locker room, a dugout, or at the very least meet with someone that you criticize face-to-face? The truth is that you are the one that does not have the balls to do your job correctly. If all of us “internet creatures” were so lucky to have a job that we could do half-assed and still get paid we could almost be as lucky as you. How do you look yourself in the mirror every morning? Better yet, how do you tell your family that it is your job to be the most hated columnist in your profession? Not all bad guys in America are worshipped you dope. Unfortunately for you, life is not like the WWE where villains are glorified. You don’t even need to be a homer to be effective at your job. All you need to do is do it the way it should be done. At some point, you must have had some actual talent, somewhere to get hired. What the hell happened to turn you into the dope? |

While Tinky laughs at us Internet Creatures as he collects half a million dollars a year for churning out slop that wouldn’t pass for high-school journalism, we know he will get his in the end. After the Sun-Times finally wises up and cans his sorry ass, his next job will be at a suburban shopping weekly somewhere in the middle of Wyoming. Speaking of sorry asses, I see ny ex- has returned after blasting all of us for having no life. Having been at the receiving end of his stupid comments (which I won’t rehash here other than the offensive remark about gas chambers, which he proceeded to rationalize in the context of other mass murders), I say we were better off without him. Go take your fake machismo somewhere else, thank you. |
