Rex's Little Helpers

Not a good sign for the Bears when the Chicago Sun-Times' lead
football article Wednesday morning is about fifth-graders giving Rex
Grossman advice about taking snaps from center.

''It's very easy to take snaps,'' said fifth-grader Jimmy Smolik, 10,
a quarterback for the St. Linus Hawks in Oak Lawn. ''Just open your
hands and wait for the ball, and then you close your hands.''

But Rex could learn a thing or two from coach Daniel Terrini, who
helps coach 8- and 9-year-olds on the Wheaton Rams.

"We tell our quarterback to make sure he gets his hands under the
center's butt."
