Urlacher saught as contributor for Michigan Football E-Blog

Chicago Football Bears injured linebacker, Brian Urlacher, recently made some comments about the state of his current team impressed the “writing” staff of a popular Michigan Football e-blog – so much so that they are trying to hunt him down and talk him in to contributing to their daily ramblings. Urlacher was quoted as saying:

“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 to win.

“Kyle Orton might not be the flashiest quarterback, but the guy is a winner, and that formula worked for us. I hate to say it, but that’s the truth.”

In an e-mail, high school football corch and primary e-blog correspondent (name withheld upon request), expressed appreciation for Urlacher’s straightforward approach when commenting about the play of his current team. “Look Urlacher doesnt sugarcoat the facts – his team sucks @$$ and he knows it! Just layin down the facts as he sees them from the sidelines. We been wanting to add an NFL angle to the eblog for a long whiel, and he’s just what were looking for.”

I contacted Brian for a comment, but he hung up on me.

Update: Insider reporter for the eblog has been dispatched to the Halas Hall cleaning crew for recruitment purposes.
