Dear Jack Thompson,

Fuck you!

Yup. I said it. You are a piece of shit. A low-life scumbag of a human being.
The air you breath is stolen. It belongs to others and your sorry excuse of putrid waste should be disbarred from breathing it, just as you were disbarred from your career.
No one likes you. Not even your own mother. Your father wishes you were a stain on the mattress. Your "crusade" against violent video games screams of fatuity.

YOU
ARE
A
DIPSHIT.


Regards,
Rev. Dropout




P.S. SUE ME! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA


(for those who don't know who Jack is... here you go: Why Jack is retarded.)

attracted to failure or yup, this is bullshit

So I have been extremely angry lately. An anger that has not been directed at anyone in particular, but I am horribly angry. It's a multi-faceted pissed off. Yes, I have a child on the way and, yes I am happy about that. The two have nothing to do with each other. I maintain moments of enjoyment, happiness. This is more a deep seated rage with no outlet to escape. I can't blow up, because the shell is too thick. I can't release it, because there is no outlet.
I really do hate people. Again, not a direct hatred, more a general consensus between id and super ego. I wish to plow my vehicle at full speed into every car that pulls out in front of me on the street, when there are clearly no other cars behind me. I want to slam hard on my brakes all those tailgating motherfuckers.

Drumming.

That used to be my release. Band practice and shows. I don't have that anymore.
Dexter
Heroes
Flash Forward
Dinner time at the table
The wife and I laying in bed EVERY NIGHT playing video games and of course baby making
My soon-to-be child

THOSE are the things that make me happy, for those short times.

Every minute between those joyous occasions is a constant worry field.
Money is draining at an alarming rate.
Jobs are coming in slow.
Rental property needs to be fixed up and sold ASAP.
New business is starting off real slow.

I'm supposed to be raising and supporting a family and I have no confidence in myself anymore to do this.
I've been helping everyone I can and not complaining at all about those that have taken advantage of/still take advantage of my services.
I'm tired of certain things being expected of me, but I'll keep doing it because I don't feel like dealing with the drama that would unfold if I were to finally just give it all up.

I've been thinking about and seeing my father a lot lately.
Wifey knows that there is something wrong with me.
She is great about leaving it alone, because I truly want it that way.

Oh, I don't know. Is this what a blog is supposed to be like?
The incestant rambling of people who
just
need
to
WRITE
!
!

Well, I gotta get out of this funk soon. It's driving me insane and I hate it.
OH MAN, I forgot the piece of happiness that I get when my kitties snuggle and follow me around.

I have plenty to be thankful for, no arguing there. Life is just a piece of shit.
In general people.
I suppose I should take life "by the horns" and face fuck it into submission.


Okay, fuck taking something back. I'm making my own way.

Life; My business WILL succeed, there is NOTHING you can do about it.
Life; I WILL be a great father, eat shit if you don't think so.
Life; I am NOT my father, never will be, never can be. I will NOT be held to his standards. I AM my own person. I WILL honor his legacy in my own way.
Life; You are NOT in control. I hearby announce to you that I am making my own way to the top. I am not allowing you anymore control.

I'm going to go take a deep breath now. Stop worrying about the future and begin to MAKE it the way I see it.


ps. this wasn't meant to offend anyone. If you were offended though, well "goddamn you're fucking dumb."

ooohhooOOOHHhhhooo

Heroes shall be returning!
I don't know the exact date but here are two clips that were shown at the Jules Verne film festival:



Thursday, January 31, 2008

Beatles record company Apple Core has decided to publish the entire Beatles back catalog on Russian mp3 site Allofmp3.com. The move by Apple Core records comes as a huge surprise to the industry as Apple Core recently inked a deal with Apple Computer ending the decades long feud between them. Many had believed the deal would pave the way for iTunes to have exclusive access to the Beatles back catalog.

The record industry has greeted the news of the agreement between Apple Core and Allofmp3.com with shock and surprise. Allofmp3.com has long been viewed by the major record companies as an outlaw provider of copyrighted music files. Apple Core's choice of them as the exclusive distributor of Beatles' music is sending shock waves across the entire music industry.

"It's like the President's daughter announcing she will marry Osama Bin Laden." Says RIAA lawyer Hugh Billings. "Allofmp3.com is an outlaw organization with links to organized crime and possible terrorist groups. More importantly, Allofmp3.com doesn't pay any royalties to RIAA members for the use of their copyright materials. Giving Allofmp3.com control of the must lucrative music franchise in history is a mistake, a very big mistake."

Our sources indicate that RIAA lawyers have been dispatched to Apple Core offices to examine the legality of the deal and apply 'pressure' on Apple Core executives to rethink their decision to go with Allofmp3.com.

Apple Computer refused to comment on the announcement.

Pirates UNITE!!

The Pirate Bay owners have been charged with something called "copywrite infringment"

I guess the MPAA, RIAA and other bullshit orginazations have not learned yet.
You will not stop Pirates!

I encourage all of you loyal readers to go onto their site and download as much as you can.

Dear Copywrite industries,
You can not kill us all. Strike one on the head and three more will rise in their place.
Fuck you.

Let's clear up some confusion.

A few blog posts ago I ranted about the bigotry in religion. I went on and on about how I found it ridiculous for one religious sect to bash another.
I believe I was misunderstood by a few people.
Bashing on people just because they claim to be a Christian, Muslim, Budhist, Pagan, Agnostic or Atheist is just plain retarded.
At their core beliefs they all have good intentions. They all want to lead others to a path that they have found to be the truth.
My post was directed at those who automatically associate certain people of certain faiths with the faults of each of those individual faiths.

Yes, priests have sexually molestedraped little boys. But does this mean that everyone in the Catholic church wants to do this? Does this mean that ALL priests have succumbed to this atrocity? No.
Most fundies go on and on about how you are wrong, and that you will go to hell. It is interesting that their bible instructs them to not do this. Makes you wonder who is worse?
"Radical" Muslims blow themselves up and kill all those that are not Muslim. Is this the religion of Islam? No. This is another fundamental group that cannot read their own texts.
Pagans are spirit and devil worshiping evil creatures here on this earth. Really? They all seem nice to me.

Look, everyone judges everyone (another point against religion in my favor) and thinks they are correct.

When it comes down to it, I believe the main reason I gave up on believing in anything spiritual or religious is that I do not need something to look forward to after I die. I am not afraid of dying. I don't need a scapegoat.
The only thing that makes me mad is that I will miss how we continue to grow as a society. How we advance technologically, and how we finally are able to leave this planet and let it heal itself.

I need no god(s) or goddess(s) to comfort me with a false hope of an eternal life. I'd rather enjoy every moment that I have here on this Earth. I would rather experience all that I can while here, all the pain, suffering, joy, and happiness that comes with it, than to follow someone's made up morality on how to live because I may suffer consequences after death.

And you know what, even if all that is true and there is a divine creature and there is a judgment, then oh well. It would be quite a bit late at that moment to care.

I will bash no Christian for just being a Christian.
I will bash no Muslim for being a Muslim.
I will bash no Pagan for being a Pagan.
I will bash no Buddhist for being Buddhist.
No Taoist for being Taoist... etc..etc

But I will point out your flaws, debate your arguments and generally treat you like shit if and when you choose to use your beliefs in a manner that could potentially cause physical and/or mental harm.
Street Preachers with their bibles and signs calling damnation against me and all of us "unbelievers" will receive a hefty dosage of uncomfortable questions about their belief. Muslim terrorists will always be on my hit list. Anyone who points their finger in my direction and discriminates against me for my belief, or lack there of, has opened the door for my full asshole-isness upon their lives.
Go to church, temple, circle or whatever it is you do, but leave me out. I choose not to do these things out of respect for your beliefs. I am not going to convert. I am not going to find any spirituality. Instead of me wasting your time, I just won't go.
This is how it has been with me for years. I'm not going to participate to make someone happy.

Afterlife... why are we so keen on this? THIS life has been shit, why are we looking forward to something that could be better or could be a hell of a lot worse?
I'd rather it all be over with and I go peacefully into the... hopefully they will make a beer with my ashes.

Why our current orginazation is full of pieces of shit




source: digitaljournalist.org

You George Bush and the entire American government are nothing but pieces of shit.
May your karma bring you death.

Who what where when

I've decided to do my own comprehensive bible study. I'm going to start with the Holy Bible of the Judeo/Christian beliefs first. This study will be partly my own interpretation of the texts and partly my attempt at showing that the texts are merely stories about creation and tales of heroes of old. Does this mean that if you are a believer in these texts that I am trying to persuade you to change your mind? Yes and no.
I wouldn't expect anyone to change what they believe just because of my interpretation, but if you go to church on a regular basis, you are just listening to some guys/girls interpretation of the texts and choosing to believe him/her or not. I am just going to be offering my perception on the bible.
No harm
No foul.

After this (which will probably take up quite a few months of my time) I will study and do the same for the Koran. I'll decide what texts to study after this.

I am really do this to further my knowledge in all things religion. I feel that if you want to argue a topic (i.e. discuss) you need to know all about it first.
I'll keep you all posted (all 3 of you) on how it is progressing.

AND NOW... MUSIC TIME!


Saviour Machine was/is a goth/metal band that sang about the end times. This may intimidate some at first but when you give the band a listen, if you like anything in the goth/metal genre, you will fall in love with the band. The lead vocalist has a beautiful voice that has clearly had opera training. I will admit that he comes off sounding a little like Bowie but when has that been a bad thing?
The album I have upload is the first in a set of 3 albums that hold a singular theme. The retelling of Revelation through music. Released way back in 1997 this first album set the tone for the preceding albums with a full symphonic orchestra backing the band, layers upon layers of ambient music and sound, and a feeling that you are actually witnessing the events that are happening. This set of albums has been affectionately referred to as "The Unofficial Soundtrack To The End Of The World."
I will be uploaded disc two in a few days.

hippies go home, and other assorted rants

This blog will either be really shitty, or the best thing I have written in a few years.
There are a few topics I want to touch upon, and as always, I will probably end up hurting someones feelings or offending somebody. In either case, that is too bad. You can grow up, take the criticism or click the time little x in the upper right hand corner of your web browser.
I don't care if you agree with me or not.

About four years ago there was this big hoopla on the net and around the country that a change was needed. We needed a new leader to head our country because the current had driven us into the sea. Rock the Vote persuaded, advertised, and even went so far as to enlist the help of music stars to encourage young voters to get out and let their voice be heard. You could smell the winds of change in the air, and then when the election came up... A.D.D. set in and less than 50% of registered voters from 18+ voted. (I don't know where the age cutoff began, so go google it) All these protesters, college kids, and young hippies ready for change stayed home and watched the world fall apart on television.
And I see it happening again today. I hear the same shit spouted from the same mouths. I see the same college hippies (who have NOTHING in common with the original hippie movement. They stood for something and actually brought about a change. Today's "hippies" as we call them are nothing more than pot smoking college kids just waiting to graduate and become the next big entrepreneur.) spouting off the change line. Hell, even the damn politicians are jumping on the change bandwagon.
I do believe we need a change in this country, but how dumb are we to actually think that someone is going to be voted in that will bring about that change?

Am I saying that your vote is a waste? yes.
and no.
I'm pretty sure that all our votes are a waste of time before we even put them in the machine. There is a higher power controlling this company and they decide who runs for office. (don't believe me? Known people who have seen ballots tossed out for opposing candidates...and didn't Kerry win the popular vote? fucked up system we have here)
At the same time, NO your vote is not a waste. At least to yourself you would be true. If I know that a candidate doesn't stand a chance in hell of winning the election should I vote for another even though I disagree with what they stand for? Fuck you. Most people know who I am voting for this year, and yes he doesn't stand much of a chance, but when all the older voters elect in another puppet I will have the satisfaction of knowing that I did not contribute to that cause.
That brings up my next point. Until all the conservative, 40+ year old voters get out voted by the 18-30 crowd, there will never be a change. Until the youth of a generation stand up for themselves and declare "Enough is a-fucking-nuff," this country will run further and further into the sinkhole.

I know a few people who are getting "tired" of having certain candidates "shoved down their throats." Why? Would you rather your friends not give a shit about your country? Not give a shit about your civil liberties? I would find it a blessing if all my friends were as passionate about this election as my wife and few select others. I don't care WHO you vote for, just that you wake up and fucking try to make a change.
This is the first year that I have really given a shit enough to try and make a change. Maybe it's because I have a family now and am looking out for the future of my child, who knows. I used to not care and not vote. I used to bitch about the government (all sides, I didn't play favorites) but did nothing to change it. Well... if I am getting rilled up over this, that says something. I am 27 almost 28 and this is my first year registered. Whether the candidate I vote for wins or not, at least I know that I made a choice, and spoke my voice.

Enough about politics...on to religion. oh boy!

Everyone I know, they know that I no longer follow any religion, or any defined belief process. I have been guilty of in the past bashing the Christian religion (more so their followers than anything)but in general, I don't care what you believe. I don't want anyone to force their beliefs on me, because well... I have none. But even so, when I was a practicing Christian I did not go around slamming on people for not being of the same faith. Recently I have begun to detest any and all things religious. Keep in mind that religion is the following of a set of rules and definitions. This doesn't just pertain to your deity beliefs. I have seen how sects of each religion bash, judge, condemn and otherwise belittle other sects. I have watched Christians bash Muslims, Muslims bash Christians, Christians bash Pagans (catholicism anyone?), and Pagans bash Christians. Double You Tee Eff?
Oh...and atheists get it from all sides. Kind of like an invisible friends beat-down party. If this is the way you treat others beliefs, I'd rather be an atheist.
My beliefs in a nutshell? We are all energy compressed to a slow vibration. We are all connected. There is no spirit world, there are no ghosts. Energy can leave traces of itself, it can be broken down and formed into new things. I believe science is getting it right, no proofs, just theories.
Keep your judgment to yourself, I have no problem killing you... after all, there is no afterlife.

And now, to a different subject: music

If you watch Adult Swim at all, you will know who this band is. The impressive thing about them is that it is the creator of the television shows band that performs all the music on it.
Click for some really good metal

Well folks, that is all for right now. This has to be the longest rant I have had in forever.
Carry on my wayward sons.

Concerning Fags

I have changed the definition of that word. No longer does it pertain to a homosexual male. From here on out, when you hear/see me refer to a fag, fagot or fucking fag, I am referring to what most people call an emo guy.

As far as I am concerned you can do whatever the fuck you want to do in life, but when you start to dress and look more like a female than most females, you have become a fag to me. I will refer to you as a fag and I will kick your fagot ass if you confront me about it. If it sincerely bothers you, take off the fucking girl pants, remove the stupid ass makeup and grow some fucking balls.

Shit, just removing those pants might let them fuckers drop.

Fags.

Vote Ron Paul 2008

Vote Ron Paul 2008

He may be a Republican but this man is far from what you would think his party represents. Go read his views, what he stands for. This man wants less Government involved in peoples lives. He wants to return States Rights. I went down the list of things he stand for and only dissagreed with ONE. His stance ..ion. But even in that, he wants it to be a states decision whether or not abortion is legal.

He stands for and behind the Constitution of The United States of America.

On primary day, vote Ron Paul. Then on Election day, vote Ron Paul.

The only thing these people listen to is money. YOU are their money. If the fans stop watching their shows, they lose advertising, which in turn means they lose money.

Support the WGA!
Support giving the middle finger to big corporate bastards.
Try to not cuss excessively in your letters, we don't need to look like uneducated fools.

No more television for me

Well tonight is the last episode of Heroes this season because of the writers strike. The broadcasting stations don't seem to want to budge in this matter and feel they hold all the cards.
They will hold out and play repeats, sports and tv movies until their hearts are content.

Well if they won't listen to the demands of the people who write the shows that they made their money off of, maybe they will listen to the people who watch the shows to give them that money.

Starting tomorrow I am boycotting network television. I am boycotting any agency that advertises with these companies. I am boycotting the film industry.
In fact, I will DOWNLOAD every new release movie I can. I will be writing letters to these stations letting them know that I will no longer stand for their imperialistic tactics. I am asking all of you reading this to help out and boycott them as well. You can live without television for a short while. You still have the internet, video games and *gasp* outside that can keep you interested.

So hear me now NBC, FOX, CBS, ABC and all other Hollywood studios..... we fans will no longer support your lack of support and compensation for the people who make your shows, and bring in the cash for you.

football and jesus

Holy crap what a great weekend for football!

I don't normally watch the Vols play. I don't normally root for them to win either.
For the first time in.... forever I was hoping the Vols would win the game. And what a game it was.
Four overtimes to decide the winner. Vols score, and get the two point conversion. Kentucky scores and the vols stop em, amazing game. Over 5 hours long, and it was exciting the entire game.
Then the BCS title picture changes AGAIN with LSU losing in triple overtime. A season that started out as predictable has done nothing but confuse and excite everyone, except those whose teams have fallen from grace.

Then we move on to NFL. The Thanksgiving games were all fun to watch. They each brought their own excitement, but no game to me meant more than the Bears taking on Denver at home. Denver was schooling the Bears through this game and if it weren't for the amazing "Anytime" Devin Hester, they would not have stood a chance.
After muffing the first punt sent his way and giving the ball back to Denver who went on to score, Devin later on returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown to tie the game for the Bears. Not too much later he returned a kickoff for a touchdown untouched! And somehow, someway, Wrex Grossman didn't fuck it all up, led the Bears down the field and with the tremendous help of running back Adrian Peterson, helped to take the game into overtime. A few plays later and Robbie "good as" Gould kicked the game winning field goal and kept the Bears slim playoff hopes alive.

Sunday night Philadelphia pushed the Patriots to their limit and almost knocked off the undefeated monster, but couldn't get the job done. This game showed that the Pats are not impervious, but they still are perfect. Can any team beat them? Only five more games left to find out. Greatest football weekend in a long time.


Been doing some research on the Christian deity Jesus. I've known for a long time that his mythology follows the same mythology as many other gods throughout history but I never really did any research on the subject. I found this website today that really brings up questions about the validity of Jesus's story. http://www.near-death.com/experiences/origen048.html
This man seems to have lived and done almost everything that Jesus later did. That is right, this person did all the things that Jesus is famous for hundreds of years before the birth of the "Christ." Brings up questions in my head. I am not one to write it off as coincidence either, considering this is not the only person who seems to have lead the same life as Jesus, also hundreds and even thousands of years before Jesus was born. If it peaks your interest look up these people too:

Born of a virgin mother:

Krishna
Zunis
Quexalcote
Minerva
Yu
Hesus

Born on December 25th:

Attis
Frey
Thor
Dionysus
Osirus
Adonis
Tammuz
Cernunnos



There are plenty more, but that is just a start. Feel free to call me a heretic if you want, I belive it to be true myself.

this is outlandish!

watch this video:


I can't believe they have a game where you play an arab who assassinates good, honest, god-fearing christians like the crusaders.
What is this world coming to where whites are protrayed as these evil men that tried to take over the world? I would be even more appalled at this game but I am currently stewing over GTA: San Andreas still.
Having a black guy go around and kill white cops and people. It's horendous. I won't stand for it.
But us white folk will have our day soon. Resident Evil 5 seems to have a white millitary officer killing off african zombies. That's right darkies.... your day will come!!!!

Heroes, you disappoint me

For the first time in two seasons Heroes managed to piss me off last night.
I wasn't even pissed off at last seasons finale. It left a nice opening to continue stories into this season. I didn't bitch about how slow the story was moving along this season either, last season did the same thing. Everything was going fine until the impending writers strike. In what I can only call complete rewrites of episodes to speed this seasons early conclusion along, Heroes has taken a turn for the worse.

Toward the end of last season we had Molly talking about someone much worse than the boogyman (Sylar). This person could apparently see Molly whenever she tried to find him/her.
That storyline continued this season to much delight from myself and my wife and friend. They slapped a huge twist by making this man Parkman's father. Then how do they conclude this story arch? How do they stop this man that was supposed to be worse than Sylar? (A man who was going to blow up New York, take over Nathans role and become president and rule the country) Mr. Parkman tells little Parkman that he has the same ability as him. He can do more than read minds, he can control what people see. He is a nightmare man too. Then Bob confirms this fact and at the crucial moment.... BAM Parkman learns how to use this ability to it's fullest extent and trap his father in his own mind with these words; "You left us... I never left."

WHAT THE FIZZZUCKK?

Alright fine... let's move this along and see how Peter is doing. Peter time travels to 2008 New York after a deadly virus has killed 93% of the worlds population. He learns from his mother that he must go back and save the world. He travels back to modern day Montreal and we are left waiting for the next episode. The one that everyone I know has been waiting for. 4 Months Ago. We finally get to see what happened to everyone after the explosion in the sky. All week long we are teased with commercials stating that we will find out what happened to all the Heroes in the past four months. Yesterday came, the episode started, I loved every minute of it until it ended with Peter flashing back and telling Adam, "I remember everything." Stay tuned to next week.

OH MY GAWD

The only stories they show in this episode are:

1. Peter catches his brother after the explosion, gets him to a hospital and is captured by the company. He eventually meets Adam (who is Kensi) and they escape to go save Nathans life. The Haitian turns on the company by locking Peter in the storage bin and erasing his mind because he believes in Peter.

2. We see Nicki and DL and Micah all happy together. Bob tries to get Nicki to come into the company to be cured but she says she will do it on her own. She eventually manifests a new personality, runs off to LA and DL has to go save her. He does but is shot and killed in the process.

3. Allejandro is getting married. Maya doesn't like the girl. Maya walks in on the new bride screwing her old boyfriend. They try to shut Maya up and she manifests her powers for the first time and kills the entire wedding party minus Allejandro. She runs off to become a nun, her brother finds her and tries to have her taken into custody, she kills again and Allejandro reverses it for the first time. He decides they need to leave and then run off.

4. Nathan is badly burnt. He tells his wife everything. Ms. Peterelli convinces her that Nathan is suffering the same disease that his father had. That nothing he said is true and convinces her to basically leave Nathan. Meanwhile, Peter and Adam sneak into the hospital and Adam give Nathan some of his own healing power blood. Nathan begins to heal and a few scenes later Ms. Peterelli walks into the room to see a completely healed Nathan staring out the window.


That is it. 4 storylines in an hour. We are told nothing of what happened to Parkman, Molly, Mohinder, HRG and Claire or, and this pisses me off the most, Sylar.
The previews on the commercials ALL showed the blood trail leading to the sewer. Instead of them telling us what happened, we see a scene of Sylar with Allejandro and Maya driving in the car.

So now, with three episodes left, I don't know how or why Sylar was saved from dying. I don't know why Ms. Parkman left Matt. I don't know how Matt and Mohinder decided to get together as roomies. I don't know when Mohinder, Matt and HRG decided to try and take down the company. I don't know how HRG managed to relocate to another state, get a job at...wherever he did, and go under the radar. There are still so many questions that they were supposed to answer, but left wide open. I felt like I had watched The Matrix: Revolutions all over again.
With three episodes left, we get a rushed storyline concluding the virus story and the season. We have to wait who knows how long for a new season after the writers finally go back to work. And when we get to that season, will it be full of action, suspence, suprises and awesome heroes... or will this show be doomed now because of the timing of this strike. If last nights episode is any indicator.... then my TV viewing days are short lived.

But for now, enjoy this funny spoof on a metalcore band called Norma Jean.

NO NO NO! Not Grossman

So there was some interesting things happening in the world of football this weekend.
First and foremost, Ohio State lost to unranked Illinois and proved to all the critics that they were a phony team that had right to sit atop the BCS rankings. They sit in a conference that only has two teams that ever amount to anything. One being themselves and the other being Michigan (who also lost this weekend). We already know Michigan was a joke when they were blown out in week 1, it just took a little while longer for everyone to see that Ohio state is not a great team.
You would have thought that after last years National Championship game where they were handed their rear-ends by a team in a much better conference, the SEC, that those pollsters would have known better than to rank this team number 1. Well, we won't have the joy of watching another SEC team beat them up this year. LSU reclaims number 1, and it is their rightful spot.
It has indeed been a crazy year for NCAA football, and I see the next couple weeks causing even more heads to hang in shame.

This brings me to the NFL, where Peyton Manning ties an NFL record for most interceptions in a game with 6. After calling the New England game last week (I love you Tom Brady), I was known around the office to be calling Indy losing this week as well. Manning follows a pattern.
On the opposite side of the league, the Bears watched their quarterback fall to the ground and get hurt. So they put in Chicago's own hated QB Rex Grossman. And unfortunately for the rest of us, he did good and helped the Bears win the game. I hate this man with a passion after he flubbed the SuperBowl by throwing an interception late in the game that could have lead to a score by the Bears and an eventual win. He did well coming off the bench, but that is where he belongs, on the bench until possibly needed.
I was hoping that he would be gone next year. With Griese out it looks like Grossman will take the snaps again. I'm still a Bears fan but I am over this team right now. The coaching staff keeps making the same mistakes and I call it right here and now. If Grossman starts next week, the Bears will lose the game.
