Agreed.

Peanut did it right.

Fuck Lance "Pay Me" Briggs.

Urlacher and Briggs are two of the least likable stars in the team's history.

Frankly almost all of the Bears' stars are fairly unlikable imo. Including Butkus, Sayers, Ditka & Payton.

The balls on this guy! He has showed up to training camp out of shape the last two years. He has missed significant time due to injury the last two years during which he has shown no leadership or coaching to other players. He has made it clear that football is no longer his primary objective.

Then I read in yesterday's Sun Times that Briggs doesn't think there is any reason he shouldn't be able to continue playing football and how much the younger guys will miss on his knowledge.

Lance, you made your bed. You probably could have gotten a one year contract for next year as a goodbye gift if you had simply been a professional. Now, you can go sell BBQ to vegetarians with whom you have no connection. We'll see you in a few years when only the fond memories of your career remain.

Unless he did it to get out of Chicago.

just playing the thief to the bitter end this year

He has been out for what, 8 weeks now. He was out for around that amount of time last year. Any semi thoughtful player would have spent some of that time considering his own football mortality and would relish laying some deepness on reporters after the last game for posterity. This fucker was asked for his thoughts and responded that he had nothing.

His restuarant abscense encapsulted everything that was wrong with this team. This guy really destroyed his legacy in my mind over the last two years with his lack of dedication. I'd say his future will include being Buffone to Urlacher's Butkus but he is not nearly as lovable as Doug and I imagine we will not see his ass again until he is scrounging for dollars after he blows his nestegg on foolish investments like restaurants not located in the city where you are best known.

Shove off Lance, your lack of leadership is astounding.

I felt very similar about Lance the past 2 years, but after hearing what he tried to do in 2014, he was trying to make the best of the situation, but once again controlling this image is something an organization like the Bears need to do. If you shit on players when they walk out the door, you look bad and they look bad.

So it's the Bears job to control Briggs image?

It is, kind of. Certainly it is within some employee's scope of employment at Halas Hall...not the full image, but how it is shaped in terms of Bear fan consumption

He was just going along with theme of the rest of the organization Seacrest.

seems like almost every decision Emery made was the wrong one.

what's the story with Butkus? seemed like an OK sort of guy who never wanted the limelight. that's why he went to HOllywood I guess.

I don't think for a minute that Emery or Trestman were playing the thief. Not for one second.

I think in hindsight, they should have dumped Briggs and kept Urlacher though. Briggs has zero leadership skills and that was the teams mistake in thinking that he did.

Why Mike Brown and Urlacher weren't retained as coaches or consultants I will never figure out.

Leadership is leadership.

Sacramento. Going to LA wouldn't have been nearly such a bad idea.
