Much to Oliver Willis’ dismay, the Redskins sign Rex Grossman.
And then it gets worse:
On a day the Redskins locked up one quarterback, they’re apparently preparing to work out another. The Redskins are one of five teams that have scheduled individual workouts with draft prospect Tim Tebow, according to the Sporting News.
Tebow participated in the University of Florida’s pro day on Wednesday afternoon in Gainesville, Fla. With a variety of prospects on display, scouts and executives from most teams were on hand, as well as a handful of head coaches. Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan and General Manager Bruce Allen were not present, but they didn’t need to be if they plan on viewing Tebow up-close at Redskins Park in the coming weeks.
Well someone in DC is excited…
Mental health issues will be addressed in health care reform, right? Right?
Also. Heh.

I forgot Grossman was in the Superbowl only a few years ago.
As a Redskins fan, this doesn’t make me feel any better.
I’d feel worse for Oliver if he didn’t complain so much about the better-than-average Jason Campbell. Peyton Manning wouldn’t have looked good behind that line with the shitty assortment of targets the Skins provided.. Consider this a warning for NFL fans: Bitch about your QB too much and he will be replaced with THE TEBOW!!
Sounds like a typical Dan Snyder move…yeah, please sign Tebow, it’s not like I don’t already hate the Redskins enough.
WOLVERINES!!1!1!!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Oliver needs to take a deep breath. Grossman’s going to look great on the sideline sending plays into Clausen.
From your last link:
No Child Left Behind: The College Years.
I guess that means Michael Vick is a success in two sports!
OK, so Tim’s on-field shortcomings might be a problem. Lets not forget the sanctimonicity factor that he’ll bring to the locker room. Praise the Lawd!
50midgets must be Pat Forde.
Oh well, the Redskins got one failed Florida quarterback.
They’ve still got Colt Brennan on the roster, too, and all he did was set TD records while at the U of Hawai’i.
Give Colt a chance!
I should have also written, “BOOKMARK IT LIBS!!11!!!”
Scroll down to comment #12 and bask in my (potential) excellence and rightness and crap. Also.
Heisman Trophy winner Spurrier went to the championship contender 49ers while the runner-up got picked by the worst fate of the day, an expansion team. Thing was, the 49er first string QB was a guy named John Brodie who had a very long tenure and almost never missed a game. Spurrier was a good punter for most of his NFL career.
And the runner-up? His name was Bob Griese and the new team he joined was the Miami Dolphins. Among the feats his team achieved was the undefeated season and three Super Bowl trips, two of them wins.
Oh, don’t forget that Spurrier got his own expansion team…that’s right. He was the starting QB for the 1976-1977 Tampa Bay Buccaneers…that went 26 straight games before winning their last two in 1977 to go 2-26 in Tampa’s first two years.
An offense so terrible that their own coach, John McKay, when questioned about the ineptitude of his offense’s execution, remarked that he was in favor of his offense’s execution.
Ho ho ho.
And Washington thought this last season was bad.
