Cancel the reservation, Dancing With The Stars! Rex Grossman had a good game against the Rams, you bitches! Look how happy the little tyke looks, too! Don't you just want to give him a chocolate chip cookie and a jumprope to take out to the playground?

Grossman completed 13 of 23 passes and threw for two touchdowns in a 42-27 victory over the Rams on Monday Night Football last night. Congratulations, buddy, this is almost enough to make me forget that you've thrown 17 interceptions this year. Almost.

Also, this is almost enough to make me forget that your best performances this year have come against the following: Green Bay, Detroit, Buffalo, San Francisco, a banged -up Seahawks team early in the season, and a borderline-suicidal New York Giants squad that appear to feed themselves almost exclusively off the suffering of their head coach. This is supposed to make me confident in Rex Grossman? Yeah, way to go, buddy, you went to town on a defense ranked 30th in the league in Points Allowed, and 22nd in Yards Allowed. Perhaps it really is Rex Grossman's world and we're just living in it.

Or perhaps if there was a competent quarterback in charge of the dominant defense and special teams that the Bears feature to guide them through their creampuff schedule, we'd actually be talking about an undefeated team and the collective heart failures of the '72 Dolphins. Also, I wouldn't have to feel bad when I read all the Bears fans desperately trying to convince themselves that this kid isn't going to blow the season for them.

Damn you, Rex.
