Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher says he plays for the best team in the NFC, and the fact that the Packers beat the Bears in the NFC Championship Game and then won the Super Bowl isnt going to change his mind.

I think were the best team in our conference, Urlacher said during an appearance at an Albuquerque elementary school. I know were not the Super Bowl champs like the Green Bay Packers. . . . We want to be the best in our conference and to be there, weve got to go through Green Bay.

According to the Albuquerque Journal, Urlacher (who will turn 33 next week) is in great shape and working out regularly, and he says the only thing the lockout has changed for him is that hes staying away from the Bears facilities longer than he has in the past.

Its a little longer, thats all, Urlacher said. Longer than Id like it to be. Im still working out hard just not with my teammates. Thats the biggest difference. Im doing the same program I would be if I were at the facility.

So just as Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk is doing his workouts on his own while the lockout is on, Urlacher is, too. And well all just have to hope the lockout ends so the Packers and Bears can determine on the field whether Urlacher is right about which team is the best in the NFC.

I said several times prior to the Packers beating the Bears that since the Bears own the division and beat the Packers, it's not feasible to say the Packers are a better team.

Then the Packers beat the Bears in Week 17 to get into the Playoffs.
Then the Packers beat the Bears (in Chicago) in NFC Championship Game.
Then the Packers beat the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.

I think it's safe to say the Packers > Bears, unless you're Rex Urlacher of course.

Apparently there is no longer any need to play the games. You just find a reporter who will listen, tell them that you're better than team XYZ, and shazaam, it's indisputable fact.

I actually beg to differ. The Pacers have never won an NBA title (though 3 ABA titles) where as the Bears have won an NFL title. 2 different sports so it's apples and oranges, other than the championships. :cool:

He also says that Jay Cutler is a tough guy. LOL.

I wonder how he figures that one? They had to play the mighty Seahags and then have their ass handed them by us. That score was much closer than what happened on the field would indicate. I wonder if they could have beaten NO, PHI, or ATL had they played.

I don't get where he is coming from. Chicago had one of those charmed years and won the division. Let them defend it, we'll defend the real championship.

The Bears will be 2-5 to start the season and looking uphill the rest of the year. Their luck of getting teams without their starting QB every week has to run out sooner or later.

Urlacher is praying the holdout lasts the first three weeks of the season because they won't win one of those games. He better dig up the stat on how many teams make the playoffs starting out 0-3.

This is the same thing I said last year about the Vikes with the schedule they had starting out vs. the cupcake schedule they started with the year before.

Well Brian did date Paris Hilton at one point in time, so can we trust his judgment?

beast (1h) : Oh yes, sometimes they make using a cellphone tough. I just wanted to make sure it was the correct article, & thank you for pointing it out.

jdlax (3h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (7h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (7h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (8h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (13h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (13h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (13h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (15h) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (15h) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

buckeyepackfan (15h) : MICAH IS COMING TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!!!

wpr (22h) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
