I always had a sneaking suspicion that Greg Olsen hated Rex Grossman's guts. Now I have confirmation:



Yeah, maybe I overstated* it a bit there in the lead; Olsen admits that the Bears would never land Brett Favre because of their NFC North rivalry with the Packers, and the second-year tight end remarks that "I think we're happy with the two guys we got."

Of course, he said it with all the conviction of Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti pledging his support for Brian Billick -- right before firing him -- but whatever. Olsen continued: "I think we have a good quarterback competition right now with Kyle and Rex, and I think the team is real comfortable with one of those two guys being the guy for us for the future."

He then added, "But, yeah, who the hell wouldn't want Favre? I mean, we could have Kyle and Rex on the field at the same time and wouldn't be as successful with Favre under center."

Okay, I definitely made up that last sentence, and to Olsen's credit, he handled the Favre-to-Chicago talk about as well as you could expect. And as he explained to First Take's Jay Crawford, given the history between these two organizations, it's ain't happening so it's not even worth discussing.

Ideally, Favre would go to an organization that was a quarterback away from making a deep postseason run. The Bears, as currently constituted, don't qualify, but there is that other NFC North team...

* overstated = lied
