Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Can you feel bad for a guy that is due more than $2 million in 2007, that got to live out every young boy's fantasy by being a starting quarterback in the Super Bowl, that was able to live most of his 20's as a multi-millionaire in Chicago, perhaps the greatest city that God invented?

Bears head coach Lovie Smith finally did what he absolutely had to do, benching his team's former first-round pick after Grossman piled another miscue-laden performance onto a heap of malodorous previous outings. All of Chicagoland and everyone in the Bears organization wanted Grossman to finally be the signal-calling answer the team has been looking for lo these many years spent in the quarterbacking wilderness.
