It's clear that all the criticism is getting to Rex Grossman. That's probably not a good thing for Sunday, when Grossman needs to play controlled, not angry.

But the outrage over his comments, when he called the media "ignorant," is laughable. Grossman is right. The majority of journalists covering the game are beat writers who probably haven't watched Grossman more than a few times all season. If that.

Football is an interesting sport to cover because it's impossible to watch most teams play. More than any sport, I believe players, coaches, and teams get slapped with labels or reputations that are very hard to shake. Groupthink is how the Colts have transformed from a team with no chance to beat the Ravens to one that is guaranteed to win the Super Bowl.

There is no denying that Grossman has been highly inconsistent, and some of his criticism is deserved. But he's right when he basically called much of the media lazy for repeating the same questions, often meta-questions about how he's handling the criticism. I haven't heard one question all week that specifically asked him about strategy or planning or why certain things have occured throughout the year.

Before the Arizona game, Grossman was talked about as a possible MVP candidate. He was the story of the NFL, the new gunslinger in town. Now he's a complete bum. The truth, as usual, lies somewhere in the middle. The middle doesn't sell.
