Chicago happy to see Rex Grossman go

Grossman officially becomes an ex-Bear at 11:01 p.m. Thursday when NFL free agency begins, so start rehearsing your toasts now to celebrate Chicago's favorite quarterback to hate being Rex-iled from the city.

When Chicago baseball fan favorites Mark DeRosa and Joe Crede left town, it created civic angst. Meanwhile, Grossman, one of two Bears quarterbacks to start a Super Bowl, has been getting offers to drive him to O'Hare since 2007.

Bears fans will miss him like they miss frostbite. Not since Cade McNown has Chicago been so happy to rid itself of a quarterback.

Rex...

Got a raw deal. He was a good insurance policy for us. He will join another team and come back to kill us someday, just watch.
I personally liked the guy, but the media in Chicago is quick to lynch. He never had a chance, even though he was 1 of only 2 Bear QB’s to get us to the Big Game.
Farewell Rex. At least some true Bear fans liked you.

im not happy

Orton sucks

There was an incident a few years ago. The Bulls were killing the Knicks, scrubs were playing out the clock, and the fans were screaming at them to score 100 points for free Big Macs. They took a ton of shots, Knicks took offense and they tried to fight some Bulls players.
