The Sex Cannon is Dead; Long Live the Sex Cannon

Hello there. Those of you expecting an imagined monologue by Rex Grossman following last night's 15-33, 0 TD, 3 INT performance will be sorely disappointed. The Sex Cannon as envisioned by Big Daddy Drew is retired, killed off before the character became too rote and familiar (and thus unfunny).

But that doesn't mean that Grossman has stopped sucking spectacularly, which means that he still deserves our attention. So, in an ongoing effort to reward people who send us intelligent emails and NOT FUCKING BASEBALL BLOG POSTS WE DON'T DO LINK DUMPS YOU WHORES, we've decided to publish this fresh take on Rexy from John Krolik of Truth in a Bullet Fedora, who goes to USC but otherwise seems like an okay person. John writes:

I was originally going to humbly beseech all of you (as I'm sure many readers have), to start a campaign to save Rextacy, as his benching seems imminent at this point, and I don't know what I'd do without The Sex Cannon firing bolt after bolt of sexually-charged lightning every week.

But then I got to thinking: we should save Rex not just because we love his deviant ways and utter lack of caring for the shackles of quarterbacking or monogamy. We should save Rex because it's our duty as Americans. America is a country that runs on not giving a fuck, from the little things (oh, a kilometer is 1/10,000th of the distance from the equator to the North Pole? Fuck all of you, we're using miles because they kick ass.), to the more important things (You don't think it's a good idea for us to go to war? Try and stop us, faggots.) Rex plays quarterback like George Bush runs the country, and this is supposed to be America's game, isn't it? In fact, when you think about it, Rex's career path mirrors that of GWB's: Extreme initial skepticism and hatred from the intellectuals of the game/country, a brief period of redemption (post 9-11/the first half of last season), and then an utter blowup that made everyone say, "wow, we thought he sucked before, but now he REALLY sucks." (The Iraq War/The Super Bowl and this season.) We want our leaders to have balls; John Kerry and Peyton Manning can be as successful as they want through "doing things right," but at the end of the day we go "Yeah, but those guys are faggots."

Well, Rex is no faggot, and while I don't support George Bush, I think that Rex Grossman is America's quarterback. And I don't think he's going anywhere; people have been hating Bush since the beginning, but he's been running this motherfucker for 8 years when it's all said and done.

So, Gay Mafia, save Rex. It's your duty as Americans.

Pretty good, John. Thanks for your cogent argument and top-notch syntax. However, KSK's belief is that there is no need to save Rex. Even if he DOES get benched -- which Lovie Smith says ain't happenin' -- he will live on in our memories. NFL fans will always have a little bit of Rex in them.

By which I mean, we've all been inseminated.
