Other Former Bears Have Their Say
With all the ruckus regarding the comments between Brian Urlacher and Gale Sayers, we thought you guys would like to see some of the comments from other former players and folks tied to the organization who want to get in on the conversation.
WCG has total exclusivity in these comments--no other site is going to bring them to you. Now, keep in mind, I can't necessarily source any of these comments, but you're reading it on the internet, which means it's gotta be true, right?
Either way, this whole back and forth has got a lot of people's neck-fur standing up. Let's see what they have to say.
Mike Singletary:
I can't believe a kid would disrespect the history like that. I dunno if I can coach a man like that. I'll tell you what, if I'm head coach of the Bears, I'm showing him the moon in the locker room. That'll do it every time. Worked on Davis.
Y'know, man, I agree with Brian. I'm better than Sayers. He just got off to a fast start back in his day. You look now, all the best guys take the first two or three years off, and then switch teams and get good. It's not 54's fault that Sayers played back with Fred Flinnstohn (sic).
Dan Hampton:
Well, uh, y'know, uh, I'mean, uh, it's like, it's like, it's like, uh, y'know you can't say that. I mean, uh, I mean if you're going to attack uh, a hall of famer, you can't blame him for, y'know, uh, uh, the performance of the team that's, y'lknow, uh, around him. I mean, back in 85, uh, y'know, we were the greatest ever, and it's just, it's just, uh, uh, y'know, uh we'd never, uh say something like that.
Doug Buffone and Ed O'Bradovich (joint statement):
WE ARE MAD ABOUT EVERYTHING EVER, PARTICULARLY THE TOPIC THAT IS CURRENTLY AT HAND.
Ron Turner:
You know, Gale Sayers is lucky I wasn't in charge of the offense back then. The only guys making the Hall of Fame while I'm around are opposing teams' defenses. I am the king of helping out defenses.
Jonathan Quinn:
I am literally the least qualified person ever to speak about this subject. Many times, I didn't even know if I was on a football field or in a terrible dream world conceived by Freddy Krueger.
Jeff Joniak:
I have to say, "WHOLE SITUATION: YOU. ARE. RIDICULOUS!"
John Madden:
Well what you have here is, you got two guys sayin' some stuff, and the stuff they're sayin' is words comin' out of their mouths. You take those words and put them together and you get something they called sentences. Sometimes people say you can eat your words, but I don't put too much stock in that, because it doesn't taste very good.

Wow.
Awesome. I thought these were real at first, with Mike Singletary, but then realized with Benson what was going on. Haha. That explains the intro about not having sources. :P Excellent work, sir!

Same!
I could totally see Singletary saying that, but then when I read Benson’s I was like “ummm, is this for f**king real?!” and once I got to Hampton’s I knew it was a joke

I was like, man, Benson’s a jerk, but yeah. When It clicked… it was hilarious. Lol.

Definitely
I was about to give the apathetic Benson some props for his quote.
"Is there any truth to the rumor that the Bears gave up their first-round pick in 2011 for the decals?" - Someone registered as the DailyNorseman at PFT suggesting the Bears gave up picks in order to get Gaines Adams tribute decals. Stay classy Minnesota fans!

Nicely done!

What if your dope was on fire?
Impossible, sir. It’s in Johnson’s underwear.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
Dan Hampton's works best
If you have ever heard him on the radio ever.

Very Nice!
but how did you get through Madden without a comment about Brett Favre???

-Mike Martz-
Benson,
C’mon dude, what kind of dope is you doing. I need a Danimal to english translator to explain Hampton’s comments. See what you’ve started Urlacher? Now I’m just waiting for Ditka to weigh in.
good lord
…don’t anyone ask Lovie Smith for a comment on this topic!

Loved the not-so-mighty Quinn quote:

You forgot to add BRETT FAVRE to Maddens statement,
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].
I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.
beautifully done.

With regards to Favre
The thing is, I just edited before that part came up. It continues as follows:
You know who can make you eat your words? Brett Favre. I love the way the guy plays. He’s always running, and throwing, and throwing while he’s running. It’s just great. And you know he wears the Wrangler pants. Yeah, the tight jeans really help you practice moving around when you’re practicing with high school kids in Mississippi. Another thing about Brett Favre, he doesn’t eat his own words. No, he eats lots of protein, because when you run and throw the way he does, you’ve gotta have lots of carbohydrates.
