Handoff To Griese; Drop The Deuce

The NFL is in full swing, and the story lines are piling up quickly.

The first reality series plot does not come as a surprise. This has really been coming down the pike since last year, hasn't it? Rex Grossman has been plagued with inconsistency for a while. Many Bears fans would argue that it cost the Windy City a Superbowl ring. Who knows?

This is filed in the "if frogs had wings, they wouldn't bump theri butts" category.

Grossman's reported replacement will be previous Bears 2nd string and NFL journeyman Brian Griese. If you compare the vital stats, the main one that Grossman has over Griese is Wins.

The plot thickens. We'll see if Griese can take care of the ball, make sound decisions, and let the defense do the rest. Call it the Trent Dilfer Plan (the plan the Baltimore Ravens followed all the way to a Superbowl win in 2001).

In other news, Deuce McAllister of the New Orleans Saints was lost for the season due to a torn ACL as part of a dismal Monday night last night for the Saints in their loss to the Tennesee Titans in logging an 0-3 record.

In this new skool sports economy, is the intrigue in whether or not Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush can step up now that destiny has called his name? Maybe.

But it's probably more intriguing to rush to your computer, log on, and see which poor sucker in your large fantasy sports football league picked Deuce in the late 1st round or in the 2nd and now will be without a high level pick for the rest of the season.

Adapt or die baby.
