Well, I am biased, but Urlacher is my boy! I wear my number 54 jersey every week when watching the game... and that is real commitment, since I live in Arizona, and have to watch in a sports bar... and there are a ton of damn Vikings fans.. there is a Mayo clinic up here and all the damn Minnesotans are falling out of the woodwork!
I am just glad to see them have success this year.. it was frusterating last year to see how awesome Urlacher played, but it didnt translate into winning... just goes to show you that most teams in the NFL are not that far apart, and a few key players added to the roster can make a bad or mediocre team successful.
It really goes to the old philosophy, you have to be able to stop the run on defense, and have a solid running game on offense... thats why I knew the Vikings would never go any where the last few years.. their defense is a joke!
Thats the reason both the Bears and Steelers are 9-2, their defense keeps them in the games, and they either get some breaks or make them, and pull out the squeakers.. food for thought, the Bears are 7-0 in games decided by 7 or less... the Lions are 0-7 in the same scenario... are the Bears that much better than the Lions? No, but thet have added a few difference makers over the last few years (good young linebackers and safeties).
Urlacher is funny... I was watching one of those battle of the sports stars thing... Urlacher won the weight lifting event, which was basically a power clean if I remember... but in the bike race, his bike threw a chain in the first 100 yards, he jumped off, picked up the bike and threw it across the road.. laughed my ass off!!!
