Glenn Beck, The Big Hurt, And Suh Killed A Guy: Your Extra Juicy Monday Roundup

CAKE PILLOW.

Deadspin: "The dreary business of discussing politics is for people who don't get to run around and play baseball all day," writes Will Leitch in a decidedly vintage Leitch column on Tony La Russa and Glenn Beck at Deadspin.

Fanhouse: Shoals goes to D-League fantasy camp.

Ndamukong Suh attempts to literally rip Jake Delhomme's head and neck from his shoulders.

Run of Play: Brian Phillips, editor of the soccer blog Run of Play, is quickly turning into my new favorite writer on the Internet. Check out this post he wrote a couple weeks back titled "Is Pele Underrated?".

After all, even if the "child" narrative retains its appeal after a person grows up, there's a good chance that it will never feel as immediate or as dramatic as the "adolescent" narrative. You smile at fairy tales, but the songs you loved at 16 are with you for life. And in the aftermath of their playing careers, it's not just Maradona but also Cruyff, Best, Garrincha, Zidane, and a lot of other great players who seem more complex and compelling than Pelé. If a player's style is of interest in part as a window into his personality--into a corner of human character--then doesn't it stand to reason that we'd read an athlete's later life back into his playing career and promote him or demote him accordingly? That is, if Maradona has revealed himself to be utterly defiant and insane, doesn't his game start to seem like an insight into a fascinatingly disturbed psyche, and doesn't it gain in excitement from that?

Any chance something like this could ever happen to MJ?

ESPN: NFL news to make you nostalgic for the very recent past: Rex Grossman could start the Redskins' season opener against Dallas.

Shanahan said the leg is too sore for McNabb to play Thursday against the Arizona Cardinals, but McNabb likely wouldn't have played in that game anyway because the coach prefers to rest his starters and some of his top backups in the final exhibition to avoid injuries. No. 2 quarterback Rex Grossman said he won't play this week either, leaving John Beck and Richard Bartel to take the snaps against the Cardinals.

CSN Chicago: The Big Hurt gets his day at The Cell.

Chicago Breaking Sports: "Jay Mariotti was and is a pissant," says the increasingly more likable Jerry Reinsdorf.

CSN Chicago: Jay Cutler was sacked four times, got hit six times, and threw two interceptions in Saturday's loss to the Cardinals in the Bears' third preseason game. He sounds like a man who doesn't totally trust his offensive line.

"We had some protection issues last game," he said. "There might have still been some little effects from that, just trusting the guys up there." Then he added, "But they're doing a good job for me."

* * *
And finally: the best football play you'll ever see.

Bears had better hope that Ndamukong Suh ends up suspended for the opener because Suh is a beast.

You're probably going to do a Bears-prediction post but I'm going to get started early and say that the Bears go 7-9 and Lovie is fired at end of the season. How's that for optimism!?

7-9 sounds about right, and even if they catch a few breaks here and there, I think 9-7 is the best they'll do.
Either way, whatever the final record, it's gonna be an ugly season.

Going completely negative here, my injury prediction is that Urlacher and Harris are out before the end of the first quarter of the season. (Lovie-speak for four losses)

Cuttler gets a concussion, Williams re-injures his back trying to imitate a turnstile, and Forte just gets worn out.
