Grossman Super Bowl Jerseys Attract No Bids

Bears fans who just can’t get past the thrill of last Sunday — when, as THE ONION put it, Lovie Smith became the first African-American coach to lose the Super Bowl — will be happy to note that a slew of Rex Grossman jerseys with the Super Bowl XLI patch remain on eBay.

You can imagine the demand for these specialties — a chance to dress as Grossman did on the biggest stage, when he completed a healthy 20 of 28 passes, yet still managed a passer rating of only 68.3. And that demand, as you might expect, is nil.

As of early Friday morning — one week after Bears shirts were sold out throughout Chicago — 18 Grossman jerseys with the Super Bowl patch were up for auction, and none had attracted a single bid.
