ECKSTEIN AWARD NOMINEE: The David Eckstein Award, for public figures with Jewish-sounding names who are not in fact members of the tribe, this week goes to former University of Florida quarterback Rex Grossman, who will make his first NFL start Sunday for the (sorry, no account) Chicago Bears against the Vikings. Grossman was a great college QB, who I'm certainly rooting for to have a decent professional career, but nope, not a Jew. And since he's playing the Vikings, I'll start rooting for him next week.
