to 4 Thoughts about the Bears and 6 Thoughts that can be kind of sort of related to the Bears.

because he’s afraid he’ll get a coach who will actually make him work.

Because of the length of time between games, the media is making this seem like a bye week when the lead story in the Tribune sports section is about Rex Grossman’s dad. What I haven’t seen written about this “controversey” is whether Dan Grossman contacted Fred Mitchell to complain about the Bears, or did Mitchell contact him because it’s a slow news week? If the latter is true, the Tribune owes Dan Grossman an apology for setting him up to look like a lunatic father. Either way, who cares about Grossman or his dad?

If he was asked his opinion of the Bears’ ability to develop QB’s and gave an hones opinion, I see it as sensationalism on the Trib’s part.

It’s not like Dan Grossman called a press conference. Some reporter asked him his opinion and he gave it. We hate the way Lovie gives non answers, and then we rip someone who was asked their opinion and actually gave it.

Can you blame Dan Grossman? He has watched his son go from 1st round pick and SB starter to 3rd stringer while going from savior to punching bag. Even after all that, it sounds like a pretty logical statement. If there was any bitterness, it is well hidden. If it had happened to my son, I would be more than a little bitter.

Regardless of the way Rex played, he did handle the media and the fanbase pretty well, and it looks like we can see where he gets it from. Leave Dan Grossman alone and lets tell our writers to write about something substantive.
