How about the McCaskey family “pet” named , Ted Phillips, just crawl back in his hole and not talk to the media again??? George McCaskey has handled this situation with professionalism and class up til now, the last thing this team and the fans need is this moron talking to the media and screwing things up. Ted Phillips position with the Bears is merely a token one, as he’s a longtime friend and buttkisser with the McCaskey family. Go away Ted. For the sake of this organization and the fans, GO AWAY!!

Yep, would love to see Bri finish here too..but it should be a 1 yr deal at a time. Face it Bri, the old bod ain’t what it used to be. But your knowlege and instinct are faster than your legs.

Ted’s comment is the kiss of death. See Robert Kraft’s comment on Welker before he left the Pats.

Not only is he gonna go down in history as one of the greatest Chicago Bears Middle Linebacker, he also got to smash Paris Hilton.

He has a great life thus far

I hate the Bears. I was born to hate them and I’ve done a damned fine job of hating them. I plan to continue hating them.

That being said, Urlacher going elsewhere would be a crime against football and all that’s right in the world. It would be almost as bad as the douche-moves that Favre pulled.

We all know he has slowed down tremendously but he still knows that defense inside and out. If he can still play without getting exploited he still has a roll. As a mentor to some of the young talent the Bears have to bring in. But also , to finish your great career with the team that drafted you would be priceless.
Going to the Vikings would just be a joke and Brian would become the guy who went for the cash. Hell, I’d take less to be remembered as a Chicago Bear Legend, and not the guy who didn’t care about his own history.

Will an agent keep that from happening in this case too?

Owners shouldn’t say stuff like this because it makes them look disingenuous when they don’t go the extra quarter mile to sign the guy back.

It did end with the Bears. His body can’t carry his heart and mind anymore. He is a great one, but he is on the down side.
