Last Sunday turned out to be a Mother's Day Peggy Kusinski will never forget.

Just a few weeks away from delivering her third child, the veteran sportscaster at NBC-owned WMAQ-Channel 5 was on her way to visit her mother-in-law when the vehicle she and her family were traveling in was stuck broadside by another car.

The 18-year-old driver of the other car ran through a stop sign at full speed and smashed into the SUV occupied by Kusinski, her husband and their twin 5½-year-old boys. The teen's car was totaled, but Kusinski's SUV took the hit like a tank. Thanks to safety belts and booster seats, the worst injury was a scrape to one of the boys.

After spending six hours in a west suburban hospital, she said, fetal monitoring and other tests showed that her soon-to-be-born daughter had shifted but is fine. "I've been feeling very good during this pregnancy," said Kusinski, 44. "I'm proud I'm an older mother feeling so great."

A visit Monday to her own doctor confirmed that all is well -- and on track for an early June delivery. Despite the ordeal, she didn't miss a day of work. "I know I'll be off for the whole summer, and I really want to make it through Bears' veteran minicamp," she added.

I'm glad to hear she's okay, but she should be glad to miss veteran minicamp, because all it will be is:

"this is day ___ of Brian Urlacher's holdout,"

"Where is Brian Urlacher?"

"Once again, Brian Urlacher has not shown up to veteran minicamp"

"With one day left to camp, Brian Urlacher has shown up ready to work despite not having a new deal"...

She's in a near-tragic accident with her husband, her twins, and her unborn kid, and she's worried about Bear veterans' mini-camp? Okayyyyy . . .
