Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher has a good relationship with head coach Lovie Smith and he doesn’t want him to go anywhere, here’s what he had to say about Smith possibly being fired:
“We didn’t have a lot to be happy about, but it wasn’t somber. It wasn’t like it was our last meeting with Coach Smith or anything like that. I didn’t get that feeling.
“(The season) sucked, but two wins in a row was the best we could do with our situation.”
“I’m 1 million percent behind Coach Smith, what happened the last couple of years is not on him. There are not a [...]

The Bears defensive leader, Brian Urlacher, who was injured in week one against Green Bay had lots to say about this years team.
Here is what he said:
“I just wish I could be out there battling, when I go to the facility and see the guys, I feel like I’m in the way.”
“Look, I love Jay, and I understand he’s a great player who can take us a long way, and I still have faith in him. But I hate the way our identity has changed. We used to establish the run and wear teams down and try not to make mistakes, and we’d rely on our defense to keep us in the game and make big plays to put us in position [...]

The Chicago Tribune confirmed their report that Brian Urlacher will mis the rest of the season. Here’s what they had to say:
“Brian did have surgery this morning and he is out for the remainder of the season,” team spokesman Jim Christman said.

Before I start, there's three bits of Rams news to share, the last of which will lead me into the topic of discussion today. First, in case you missed it, Pisa Tinoisamoa signed a one year deal with the Bears last weekend. Tinoisamoa gets reunited with his former coach Lovie Smith and gets to compete along side Brian Urlacher. Pisa will have to compete for a job with the loaded Bears defense, but it's a pretty good deal for him nevertheless. I wish him nothing but the best.
Second, the Rams were officially put up for sale by the Rosenbloom family this past weekend. After a year of of really knowing what they wanted to do and "trying to find the right person in St. Louis," Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez finally decided to officially put the team up for sale. This has created many [...]

In the Sunday Snide Remarks this week I made mention of several players being in the top five at their position. I received a slew of emails from readers saying I was being too vague, and that I needed to share my mysterious "top five" lists if I was going to reference them. So, this week I sat down and created the lists. It wasn’t easy.
