Brian Urlacher Is a Douche Bag.

When Warren Sapp reads about something you said and determines that you should shut your mouth, you know you’ve done something really bad.
During last week’s Bears/Vikings games, middle linebacker Brian Urlacher allowed a Yahoo sports columnists to watch the game with him and take notes.
Besides acting like a five year old to his guests, and not a 31 year old multi-millionaire celebrity, Urlacher had some choice words about watching his team. “This sucks.” Pure monosyllabic bliss from New Mexico’s favorite son.
Urlacher continued his critique of the team, reminiscing about the days of just running the ball and wearing down teams, and allowing the defense to make the plays. He also brought back fond memories of 2008 where Kyle Orton led the bears to an amazing 9-7 record, and no playoff berth. “But Kyle has won games. His formula works. So I’m not taking a shot at Jay or Kyle.”
True, Orton does have a better record than many quarterbacks. But what has Orton won? He has the same amount of playoffs wins as Jay Cutler. Zero. He has the same number of playoff appearances as Jay Cutler. Zero.
What Urlacher fails to realize, as well as many Chicago fans is that this team is a shell of its former dominating self. Urlacher was never a great middle linebacker, but his speed allowed him to make up for his mistakes.
He’s older now. Not as fast. Nowhere near as good. And when he was voted the most overrated player in the league, I don’t recall any of his teammates publicly stating that they agreed, though I imagine Lance Brigg’s might have had some thoughts on the matter.
Warren Sapp is right, Urlacher needs to shut his mouth and instead of bitching about how their identity has changed, he should be in the film room helping his replacement do a better job. Perhaps he’s as good at teaching as he is at playing middle linebacker in his thirties.
