Urlacher is still the man in Chicago, but I had no idea that he could cause other players to swoon. While browsing the official site for some new content I came across this story about Pisa Tinoisamoa and being accepted in Chicago. Most of it was standard "I love it here", "They've treated me great" stuff, but there was also this little tidbit.
"I wasn’t really sure how I’d be embraced, but they’ve been totally cool," Tinoisamoa said. "I’m familiar with Lance—we came out [of college] the same year—but Brian, when I came to my visit he said [hello] to me and he knew my name, I was like, ‘Wow, that’s Brian Urlacher. He called me by my first name.’"
Tinoisamoa is a 6 year man, its not like he's never met Uralcher. The Bears and the Rams have played a few times in the last few years, I'm sure Urlacher is familiar with the linebackers on the the other teams. Maybe Pisa is just overdoing it a bit to get on his good side.

Urlacher and Pisa
While the teams have played against each other they never met on the field, both playing defense and all. Urlacher is a big name amoungst LB. Urlacher and Ray Lewis are probably the biggest name that are currently playing.
We are who we think we are.
Gotta agree - Urlacher is still the man
There’s no denying it – Urlacher is still the face of the franchise and arguably one of the main poster boys for the linebacker position in the NFL. When Pisa joined the league, Urlacher was already becoming a legend.

You can now remove your lips from Urlacher’s butt.

looks tough, or constipated … even while standing on an illustrated field.

Good post.
I totally agree with you. I was just reading another piece where Tinoisamoa was saying something like, “I could have gone to other teams where they were going to pay me more and offer me a starting position but I was like, man, I can’t just walk in and take the starting role from those other guys who have been working so hard. I’d feel bad doing something like that.”
Is it just me or does that story not jive with the rest of you guys too?
Well, I’m happy to have Pisa on the team for an even $1M. I think the Bears got a great deal on that and Pisa seems to have the right attitude as well— so don’t get me wrong. But I’m hoping he’s a bit less accommodating and deferential on the field than he appears to be in front of the cameras…
If you take the rest of the quote into context
it makes a lot more sense. He didn’t want to walk into a starting position. He wanted to be on a team where the other players were just as good, if not better than him, and he wanted to fight to earn a spot as a starter. I think fitting into the system and knowing the coaches probably played a large role in his decision as well.

GOOD NEWS IN BEARS LAND!!!
forte has a strained hammy…. nothing more!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
tossed it in the "Matt Forte to Have MRI Today" post after i left that message...
…figured it really belonged in there.

And when the season starts
He will spawn an even greater Forte

you can now stop with your reach-around on Urlacher.
"I'm not so mean. I wouldn't ever go out to hurt anybody deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something." - Dick Butkus

Actually
I think it’s more of the “Dutch Rudder”

If he'd only complimented Briggs as much
he could be “lucky Pierre”.

Hope Urlacher
does something worthy of all the fangirl-stuff this year.

Is Urlacher wearing a cod-piece?
