The BEARS!! With their smothering defense. Grossman is kicking butt in the playoffs and he's gonna kill in the BOWL (hopefully).

I pick the Bears, but with the presence of mind to know that Grossman is nothing special at all. He's extremely lucky the Bears defense and special teams are absolutely astounding at what they do.

I'm going with the Bears, for obvious reasons. Now, on to Grossman. I really, really wish people would lay off of him. He's played in what 24 regular season games in his career to this point. For an intents and purposes this was his "rookie" season. He had a passer rating of 73.9 for the season with 23 TDs to 20 INTs.

Peyton Manning on the other hand had a stellar 71.2 rating his first year with 26 TDs and 28 INTs. Good thing they gave up on that bum.

Brett Favre in his SECOND full season had a 72.2 rating with 19 TDs and 24 INTs. What a loser.

How about Drew Brees who everyone viewed as the better QB on the field Sunday, he had ratings of 76.9 and 67.5 his first two seasons.

The Sports Guy just wrote an article about the mentality of fans and media these days and it was pretty spot on about the need to build things up just to enjoy ripping them down. Is Grossman going to be as good as Manning, Favre, Brees, etc. Probably not, but he probably won't be a complete bust either. And if he can take them this far while "sucking" his first year, imagine if he does become half-way decent.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
