From Kyle Orton to Rex Grossman, a neckbeard makes its move

The Kissing Suzy Kolber blog has long been a source of inspiration for Rex Grossman enthusiasts and detractors alike. They've gone so far as to give the oft-maligned backup quarterback -- who stepped in admirably to lead the Bears to victory yesterday -- a sexy alter ego.

They're back today with a keen observation that Kyle (Koster ... not Orton) and I noted during the game yesterday:

Rex has a neckbeard now.

The neckbeard, of course, was perfected by Kyle Orton and celebrated by many. Whether a product of laziness or a conscious facial hair choice, as long as the Bears keep winning we, including my partner and newly minted Bears fan Kyle Koster, are officially urging Grossman not to rid the city of Chicago of a neck-bearded quarterback.
