Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs R Best Friends 4Ever!!!

by WCG on May 19, 2008 7:22 AM CDT Comment 4 comments

Much like Brian Urlacher did when he was going through his contract dispute with the Chicago Bears, Lance Briggs has spoken his support for what Urlacher is going through.

'I can relate [to Urlacher's situation] because I've been there,'' Briggs said. ''I know what Brian has meant to this organization and this city. That alone, and he being my big brother, I'll support him to the end. I think whatever is going on between him and the Bears will be worked out.''

At this point management doesn't care what Lance Briggs thinks. If Urlacher or Kruetz or somebody whose voice management might listen to speaks up, that is great, but I can promise you if Briggs is unhappy the Bears consider it par for the course.

I assume this is more just him returning the favor, I hear they are good friends off the field. I guess it also is good for locker room moral when your better players look out for everybody.

BFF 4EVA!!

Maybe they have off-season slumber parties and talk about their baby mamas.

ANYWAY, did anyone happen to see Briggs sing th stretch on Saturday at the Cubs game? He said he has just been working out in AZ and that he was happy with his contract and that he’ll be at OTAs that start today. So does that mean that him not showing up at workouts was a rumor and that he really is OK with his new contract?

Lovie Smith-isms:
"We get off the bus running"
"Rex Grossman is our quarterback."
"...and we'll go from there."

I was watching the game and heard his little talk as well

From what I understood he seemed pretty happy about his while situation and did mention he sympathized with Urlacher because he understood what he was going through. He also said that he was relieved to have his deal done and not have to worry about that stuff anymore. So if he is telling the truth it is very good news for this team. But taking into consideration the last couple of years with him, I am not sure how much I trust what he’s saying yet. Perhaps he’s just trying to win back favor with the fans because he knows the whole situation has left a bitter taste in a lot of people who once really supported him (myself included).

I really don’t mind at all that he is standing up for Urlacher because he did the same for him. They are good friends and that’s just what friends do. Briggs will only become a problem if he tries to use this situation to show or imply any kind of dissatisfaction with the organization or his current contract, and at this point, that does not seem to be what he’s trying to do.

I believe you're right.

All of the sudden Briggs is at Cubs games and doing charity stuff and the Bears are of course covering it. I think someone in the Bears PR office is setting all this stuff up to rebuild his image. Also he will be happen now because he has the bonus money. I’m sure he’ll be complaining come year 3 or 4. When the cap keeps rising.

Kick it to me... I'm open!
