[CBFF] Grossman's fumbles not a good sign for Bears' high hopes

[Steve Behrens]

This is a culmination thing with me, Matt.  Go back, and if you have it
recorded, watch the Monday nighter vs the Rams last year.  I watched it
again just the other night and TK was unbelievable with how he could not
bring himself to talk about anything esle except Rex problems...  He would
hardly recognize that Rex was having a great game... one of the best of the
year.

It's as if he's decided what he's going tp talk about and how he's going to
spin it, and that's it.....  We'll have to agree to disagree here, Matt.
