Before this football season began, Sporting News called Brian Urlacher the most overrated player in the NFL. This upset many Bear fans and gave my damn in-laws (Packer fans (don't ask)) something to goad me about. Well guess who the defensive player of the year is?
Not because of his sacks (6), tackles (97), turnovers (0), or any "stats" you may have. It's because he can run down Michael Vick and Steve Smith. He calls more audibles than Peyton Manning. He is defense incarnate. A Midway Monster.
When I was in grade school we had a saying. "En su cara!" Well, I was going to school in Mexico. But it is always fun in any language to face someone.
Update: Lovie Smith just won Coach of the year. Go Bears!
Update 2: Urlacher made All-Pro getting 49 of 50 votes.
Impious since 2006

Look out for those Panthers. Their defense has serious teeth with a far more potent offense than Da Bears. Congrats to Lovie. He deserves it.
You are not kidding. I was sort of hoping for Eli and the Giants but . . .
We will not take them lightly. No fears. Not until Seattle.
You forgot to mention that Urlacher took the title of Chicago's favorite (University of New Mexico) Lobo from L.T.L.L.L. (Long time Lobo Luc Longley). Luc has 3 titles, how many will Brian get?
My dog still howls when we introduce Luc. It is a stupid pet trick he does.
