Rex and the Super Bowl
Don't let the title fool you. This is not a post about bygone Super Bowls.
No, I'm thinking about the upcoming Super Bowl, which of course has nothing to do with our #2 QB. Over at the site ( www.chicagofootballchili.com , as if I'd ever let you forget) we are cooking up a Super Bowl extravaganza, so we're pretty excited about that. In order to be ready for the site when the games end this weekend, we're working up some ideas right now.
We're going to have snacks, dessert, two brand new original chilies based on the teams that play their way in, even a cocktail. Halftime snacks will have a Bruce Springsteen spin, in concert with the halftime show. And, of course, to have those two chilies ready, we have to have four chili ideas today. Because if we could accurately pick the winners this weekend, we'd be in Vegas right now.
So, with chili consuming our every waking thought, you'd think someone could sneak some Bears news by us without our taking notice. Well, you'd be wrong.
Ears perked up a bit a couple of days back when it became out-in-the-open that Kyle Orton is the 2009 starting quarterback and that the backup quarterback will NOT be Rex Grossman. No Rex.
Not that it's a big surprise or anything. Haven't seen him much this year, though we did shake our heads in disbelief at that moment on the sidelines when he was warming up and dropped a football he was trying to pass.
Classic Rex. We'll miss ya.
