I was nervous Monday night against Arizona. It was like my kid (I don't have a kid) had been putting on this terrific show in our living room for five weeks and now he was going to go on stage at Lincoln Center. He got up on stage and peed himself.
Sunday I'll be a different nervous because Sunday is the third major test for little Rex Grossman. Test One was opening day at Lambeau coming off a preseason of jeers from the Bears faithful. Test Two was in Minnesota. After seemingly throwing the game away on a mindless pass at his goal line, Grossman rallied the boys and throw a touchdown strike to Rash Davis to win the game. Test Three is Sunday.
Grossman has never played a game that poorly and (according to the stats) neither has any other quarterback. It was an all-time blowjob performance. I like how he's handled it in the media and laughing through it on Sunday Countdown but now we'll see if he's got the nuts to go out in front of the home fans and show us all he's the man for this job. A terrible performance on Sunday WILL erase the memory of the first five weeks, as fair or unfair as that may be. This defense is too good to throw away on turnovers.
Rex does not need to be NFC Offensive Player of the Week. He doesn't need to be perfect. He needs to play smart, throw the football away...make good decisions.
Because Test Four is the post-season and he doesn't get to take that test playing the way he played Monday night. No sir. It's on 8 now. And I'm nervous.
#2 jeff said . . .That latest David Haugh column brings up something that I've been wondering for a while now: why isn't Devin Hester returning kickoffs?
October 25, 2006
#3 fred said . . .he returned the last kickoff of the arizona game and got about 20 or so on it...i think it's something i'd do exclusively going forward...he should return every kick.

#4 Dave said . . .A better called game by Turner will sure help him out tons. So will running the ball.
Stats, player of the week, month, year, whatever, it's all fine and dandy to get but winning THAT game is all that matters.
Rex will be fine.
Don't be nervous.
Be proud.
Our Chicago Bears are 6-0 and wearing orange.October 25, 2006
#5 Max said . . .Oh, you should be nervous. Rex Grossman is the most overrated QB in the league who has benefited from a soft chicken liver schedule.
Come on man be real. Don't let your bia cloud your thinking. This guy sucks.
Do you know how many QB's have started off the year on fire, and flat out bombed in the end. That's Rex. His history is a good game once in awhile, then he chokes, then he gets hurt.
Hell look at Manning. That fag chokes every year. The guy looks HOF all year, and then looks like a fuckin high schooler come playoffs.
Rex Grossman is a shorter version of him. What you saw in AZ is just a preview of things to come.
Spurrier tried like hell to make him play within the game plan, and every game Rex wandered off and got himself in trouble.
So my advice, don't get to attached to this punk. He'll just end up pissing you off and ruining your day.
October 26, 2006
#6 jeff said . . .I agree that Turner needs to call a better game. Run TJ a bunch more. I have faith in Rex. I stood by him for the past 3 years, no reason to change it now. (I wouldnt mind if Rex turns out to be a shorter Peyton Manning. . . Manning is the best quarterback in the league right now and say what you will about him choking, but Dan Marino never won a Super Bowl either and i think he mighta been an ok passer)

#7 District Selectman said . . .i like this dave guy, gotta admit...he clearly hates the bears but can't get enough of this site.
October 26, 2006
#8 jeff said . . .Am I going to get pilloried by the faithful for saying I greatly prefer Ced to TJ? I absolutely don't want to dismiss TJ's contribution, but I just don't care for his running style, particularly all the jumping around he does in the backfield. He looks like a guy who noticed at the last minute that the pussy he's about to fuck has teeth. Benson is more patient and deliberate in the backfield, and when he hits the hole he's going straight upfield, shoulders square, full speed. That's the kind of running that will demoralize DBs in the fourth quarter. By the end of the season, I'd like to see the distribution of carries reversed, with Cedric being the main guy and TJ being a solid number two.
October 26, 2006
#9 Fred said . . .i was going to write about this today, DS, so you're absolutely not getting pilloried. i think we're going to look back a couple years from now and wonder why he didn't run more in 2006. i have a feeling we're going to be getting a back that starts a game with 14 carries, 5o yards and ends games with 25 carries, 120.
October 26, 2006
#10 Pat said . . ."The pussy he's about to fuck has teeth".
See now that's why I come here, you can't get that kind of analysis anywhere else.This is just like when TJ came in and beat out the A-train. Everybody loved him but TJ was better. Same situation, everyone loves TJ and what he has done but it looks like it's time for Benson.

#11 jeff said . . .I think Dave Coulier is just bored since Full House ended. Now he hangs out at Bears sites and plays the numbers- 31 out of 32 teams won't win the Super Bowl- in the hopes that he can giddily post the words "I told you so," while (conspicuously) forgetting to mention which team he backs.
"Cut it out," indeed.
Dave, we're not going to stop being Bears fans. A couple years ago, my Dad and I sat through a 49-7 opening day loss to the Niners, and still watched the rest of the season. Why? Because they're the Bears and my Dad told me they were my team when I was 5, as his Dad did. We went 7-9 that year, and the fans came back for more. We're 6-0 right now. 6-0. I'm going to savor the flavor of our "chicken liver schedule" for every fucking moment, and if your predictions are correct, then I guess you win. I'm not sure what sort of prize you had in mind- maybe a box of Otter Pops or even a Sisqo record- but we can talk about that later.
I'm proud of my team and what they've accomplished. If it goes further, then hell-to-the-yeah. If they don't get it done, I'm not going to give up on them because some anonymous d-bag happened to google "bear sex" and stumbled upon this site.
You sucked on Full House.
Oh, and DS-
I agree. The "pussy with teeth" comment was priceless. Sure conjures up a nice little image. I think you deserve a prize too. Hope you like Sisqo.October 26, 2006
#12 Dave said . . .you boys make me proud.
October 26, 2006
#13 District Selectman said . . .Gee Pat that sure was a heart wrenching story about dad. I almost teared up.
But let me ask you something? What kinda of a father was he that he would get you hooked on team like "Da Bears"? Was he a drunk or something that he didn't know any better?
I mean what the hell. If my father sat and made me watch those sorry bastards just because they were Bears I'd ran away from home a claimed child abuse.
And to make matters worse, it sounds like this was a multi generational thing.
Oh well.
By the way, I hate Otter Pops.
October 27, 2006
#14 Dave said . . .Let's not feed the troll. You can't kill that which has no life.
Are the rest of you about good and ready for this bye week to be over? I hope those guys stewed over that horrendous offensive display and come out with a little fire in the hole.
Here's a metaphor for you: Soldier Field as Oz, with Alex Smith playing the part of Tommie Harris's prag.
October 27, 2006
#15 jeff said . . .You know what's even more distrubing then Pat sitting on the couch being corrupted by his drunk dad. He knows the name of some dude on full fucking house.
And this other idiot "District Selectmen" knows about some fucking "Wizard of Oz" thing.
Man you MF'ers must be from another planet.
Is that what you so called "Bears" fan do on your bye week? Sit around and watch old episodes of fag shows?
October 27, 2006
#16 Dave said . . .yes, another planet where people know of things like insanely popular television shows and arguably the most beloved film in america.
October 27, 2006
#17 jeff said . . .Jeff, come on man. Let me guess. Your Pat's drunk dad, who subjected this poor kid to a life of being a Bears fan.
I'll bet you even made him watch the Wizard of Oz and all them other "Insanely" faggy shows.
Damn, I'll bet even a guy named "Lovie" didn't watch that shit.
What the fuck, all you so called football fans are lost your credibility admitting you watch that.
I thought you all were real football fans, and not a bunch of pork pullers.
You learn something new every day.
October 28, 2006
#18 Pat said . . .seriously, dave...who do you think is going to win the chase? matt kenseth, right?
October 28, 2006
#19 nick said . . .Jeff, that might be the best, most complete combeback I've ever heard. You make US proud.
October 28, 2006
#20 Dave said . . .Dave,
my question is if you are such an avid opponent of the Bears then why on God's green earth would you spend your time on a site devoted to them.
Must be a pissed off Packer fan that watched an aging FaRve throw away any resemblence of a thing called a carrer.OR
Maybe your dad was an alchoholic and molested you while he dressed up as a bear?
October 29, 2006
#21 jeff said . . .Nick the prick- sounds like you may be a little angry with me. Why? Did I hit a nerve when I mentioned Pat's drunk dad. Did it stir up old memories with you?
Like I said earlier, I'm here to help you all out. "Da Bears" are going lay an egg come play off time, and I just want to keep reminding you of that.
Just look at your history. The Bears choke on a load every year. They try, but they just can seem to overcome the taste of defeat. It's almost like they like it.
Turd-whacker has a history of getting steam rolled late in the year, which can't be good for the overall success of their team.
And now you have that little shit Grossman primed to start fucking choking on offense. Image what he'll do when the playoffs come around. He's gonna look like ole Charlie Manson got a hold of him.
So take it easy, Nick the prick, its not healthy to get so angry.
Also, the Packers suck almost as much as you do. Queer.
October 29, 2006
#22 nick said . . .i looked into the bears history. and they do choke every playoff appearance...if you're 15 years old. this was the greatest franchise of the pre-merger era and fielded arguably the greatest team of all-time in 85.
what you do that i enjoy dave...is you write a lot of words. i think it's the best approach to get your point out there. and by the way, the queer thing ain't holding water. i'd blow ten guys for a super bowl ring.
October 29, 2006
#23 Dave said . . .Im not angry with you Dave, I dont get angry with children.
I am not defending Rex, personally he still hasnt proven much to me, other than he doesnt preform well under pressure.
Now go get your dad and well have a grown up conversation. OK?
October 29, 2006
#24 Brad said . . .Jeff, I believe you all would and probably have blown alot more then ten.
And Nick the Prick, I am your dad. So shut-up and get me a beer. And talk to your mother right now either, her mouth is full.
October 30, 2006
#25 Dave said . . .Dave, is your last name Wanstedt? You sure seem to have lost something insanely personal to the Bears. As a side note, if you read Dave's post with that ***ahw, yeah, ahw*** Wanny impersonation it's pretty damn funny.
October 30, 2006
#26 nick said . . .Nick the Prick-I'm not someone who likes to sit around and exchange ass rubs with people who agree with me.
I see you do.
I like to exchange words with those whom I disagree.
Good ole fashion smack talkin is a good thing.
Would you go into a bar with a Bears jersey on in Green Bay, New York, or elsewhere?
I'll bet you wouldn't have the guts.
October 31, 2006
#27 Dave said . . .You are so wrong Dave, I have gone to Green bay and worn my colors, went to a bar in Green bay afterwards and conversed with the toothless locals.
Nice try but wrong yet again dip shit.
October 31, 2006
#28 nick said . . .Why were you in Green Bay? Are you a misplaced Packer fan. I'll bet you were when Favre was at his peak weren't you?
Be honest.
October 31, 2006
#29 Dave said . . .No Dave, Im YOUR fan.
November 1, 2006
#30 nick said . . .I knew it Nick the prick.
Jeff spoke so highly of all you navy and blue fans, but he must have been referring to someone else other then you.
You seem pretty weak.
November 1, 2006
#31 Dave said . . .Weak, your moms grip is weak, so is her gag reflex.

#32 mark said . . .Fred-do you have fantasy about doing women who are 76 years old?
I'll bet your one of those pigs who subscribes to a internet porn site or is a life time member to a phone sex hotline.
Why do you keep talking about somebody's mother, don't you have any women who can do it for you, pussy boy.
Whats a matter, your blow up doll reject you to.
I'll bet the fuckin blow up doll killed itself by throwing itself on a tack to get away from your big fat sweaty greasy ass.
Hey ain't you the slob who recommeded Unos? Now we know everything about you.
Talk at later sausage slopper.

#33 Blinkitoenind said . . .NICE JOB!! Can't get up to keep an undefeated season alive AT HOME, against a 1-6 TEAM. Which Rex will show up on the East Coast the next 3 games?
Reality knocked a couple games ago against another bad team. Reality may have set in today against another!!

Women, girls, teenagers and younger, Darrel Jenkins in his insatiable
lust had never been able to get enough, but both this enticing creature
and her mother had peaked his sadistic and lecherous passion too long
not to be savored to the fullest. He'd planned their seduction for
three years, when this magnificent golden creature before him had been
no more than twelve and he'd first laid eyes on both her and her mother
at a bank staff family picnic, then carefully cultivated and groomed
their avaricious father-husband into his compromised position ... until
now, the palatable culmination of all his efforts was about to be
fruitfully reveled in.April 1, 2011
Here at DaBearsBlog, you are free to kill us or the Bears as you so wish. You are not free, however, to be an asshole. So if you spew racism or ill-meaning foul language (cursing about football is just fine) or anything of that ilk, your comments ain't gonna last long, jerk.
