GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
A lof of times, people who write and talk about sports -- and I'm including myself in this -- don't take into account how much it would suck for a guy like Rex Grossman to wake up every day and see 20 articles and hours of television coverage about how badly he sucks at his job. I'm not saying that Rex Grossman doesn't suck at his job, I'm just saying that that's probably not a whole lot of fun for Rex Grossman.
And I'm not making any judgments about that being fair or unfair, deserved or undeserved. It's just something he has to deal with. And today, he got a little bit sick of it and fired back ... at least, as much as one can "fire" anything without raising their voice, getting angry, or using naughty words. Here's Rex, in this video from the excellent NBX Sports Blog:
Even if you're convinced that Rex Grossman is a terrible, terrible quarterback, and you are not willing to consider otherwise ... that little outburst right there ... Rex Grossman has earned that. He's taken enough abuse that if he felt like showing up to media day and answering questions only through a black, foul-mouthed hand-puppet named Franklin ... well, he'd have been entitled.
And he's right about a lot of this ... the average sportswriter out there really doesn't understand the complexities of an NFL offense. It's not that they're dumb, or incapable, it's just ... some plays are a little more complicated than just "Drop back and throw it to an open guy." If it makes you feel any better, Rex Grossman probably couldn't do your TPS reports, either.
At any rate, I appreciated Rex's commentary today on the ignorance of sportswriters, and frankly, I don't know how this doesn't happen more often.
