Poor Brian Urlacher.....

buddha:
Anyone else feel bad for him?

In my 20th year of police work I was paid $52,000 a year. In 1998 that was pretty good. I would have liked more, of course, but that was what we contracted for with the city.

Brian Urlacher just turned down $2 million for one more year with the Bears. That comes out (roughly) to $120,000 per game in a 16 game season. At halftime of the first game he would have already made $8,000 more than my best year as a cop. Every thirty seconds of the game he would have made $1,000 which is what I made in a week. Half of the game he is on the sidelines cheering and drinking Gatorade.
I think that Brian would have been better off had he either accepted the Bears offer or chosen to retire as a Chicago Bear. Of course I wish him all the luck in the world in finding a new team that's willing to pay him what he thinks he's worth.
I only bring this up because he's sly.

NoPony:
It would be hard to feel sorry for him, just as there was not much sympathy for the recent NHL hockey strike.

Mikekoz13:
I never liked the guy. I don't believe that he was ever as good as he thinks he is.

tomgallagher:
A lot of these pro athletes have an overblown estimation of themselves.

Hingatao:
I agree with Tom. All pro athletes (and their coaches) are a bunch of overpaid crybabies.
