Actually the Bears salary cap situation for this year was pretty tight so they really could notRead More commit too much money to Urlacher. The whole "Bears are cheap" is a thing of the past. From the outset of free agency Urlacher had a number in mind that would get him back with the Bears for a 14th season, and maybe a slightly higher number to go play elsewhere. $2 million is a lot of money. However Urlacher is already set for life. Is an extra $2 million, which is a huge paycut for what he has earned annually over his career, worth the risk of another year of constant hitting and risking permanent injury? That was his stance going in to free agency. He made the right choice. I look forward to seeing him in the game on other ways in the future.

He is retiring because no team wants him. It was fun to watch him play, but his time is over. AndRead More I hope that he doesn't get much TV time, as he is not a very engaging or intelligent speaker. Either way, I do hope that he is happy and that he enjoys his retirement.

"they could have ponied up alot more $-especially when you look at how physically destroyed aRead More player is after a long career." He chose to become a footballer player knowing the physical risks.

That is beautiful. I saw him working hard yesterday (on tv). There are good people out there.Read More Times are going to be hard and we need to lift eachother up.

To me it is like younf children doing terrible things because they want the attention.
DiggerGirl March 29, 2013 at 05:28 pm
I would absolutely still be a Bears fan. Who cares about the sexual orientation of the players? ItRead More is absolutely none of my business. I would applaud the courage it took to come out, given the climate of our society.

Well said Gail. Funny thing is, some would actually call what you just said racist.

I hope everyone enjoyed the extra cut out of their paycheck this year so that A$$CAR could getRead More $250million in tax breaks-this included Joliet's track. Bread and circuses for the masses to distract us from the screw job from Uncle Sam.

Well did any of you read this story ? The turf was not secured down and it caused a guy to blow outRead More his knee. The place would be responsible because they put it down wrong. He didn't get hurt by contact or the sport but faulty facilities. If you're a carpenter on scaffolding and it was put up wrong, you get hurt, then you sue. You're a truck driver, you get in the company's truck, a wheel falls off and you get hurt in the crash. They're at fault and you sue and win.

I play in the basketball league at that place. It doesnt surprise me. Things seem a little bitRead More shaddy there once and awhile. they have a roller hockey rink and they had moisture coming up through the surface and were literally peeling the tile back and cleaning it up...Left after that...If I had the next hockey game, def. would not of played....shaddy. wonder what they do with all the money because they do not update to much in that place either

I have coached youth arena football for 6 years at this facility. The comment about not updating theRead More place... Please, that building was an empty shell with only the roller hockey rink. Today it servers all ages of people and is an outstanding facility! I was at the practice when this player got hurt. It was a horrible accident, but the turf was not loose, it was very similar to Wendell Davis injury. Unfortunately knee injuries are part of AstroTurf, hense why it is no longer used in the NFL. It was an unfortunate accident and someone is just trying to push blame where there is no blame to be found. We all should be proud of what the Megaplex has done for the youth in the area.

Sports are bread and circus distractions to distract simpletons from how we are being screwed by theRead More politicians and wall st. enjoy it folks and keep enriching pro thugs that would be in jail if they weren't siphoning $ from yout credit card-it will all end soon

Can't they stay w/giarrante or in one of the magnificent joliet fire stations where they can loungeRead More around with the firefighters and watch flatscreen tvs and work out in the state of the art excercise rooms?

I was a host family for the first four seasons with the Jackhammers. It's a great experience forRead More any area family who has an extra room or two. The players were always very respectful, and appreciative of the opportunity. The players are actually paid very little (most less than $900 per month before taxes). Host Family lodging (they provide their own meals) is vital for these players to be able to continue playing and is commonplace for all minor league teams, affiliated or independent. At the time, my boys were playing baseball in junior high and high school, and the minor league players served as excellent role models for hard work and determination. Often, they even worked with my boys on their throwing or hitting and took them to the stadium for batting practice. Getting free tickets is also a great benefit and having that personal connection with the time made the baseball season even more enjoyable. I highly recommend being a host family to anyone who has the extra space to provide to these young ballplayers working hard to try and achieve their dreams.
