Fleeing Thoughts on Sports

-Ok, I should have done this posting a few days ago, but there's a reason procrastination is my middle name. Well, actually, it isn't, but whatever...

-Brian Urlacher wants a re-working of his (quite lucrative) contract with the Chicago Bears, which runs through the 2011 season. Smart money says the Bears don't negotiate. Aside from making just shy of $4m a year, he is a little over a month away from being 30 years old (approaching over the hill for a defensive player), has an arthritic back, and has had a neck operation. His best days are behind him. While the smart money says no contract re-d0, the Voices in my Head say find out what he worth on the market and see what you can get in return. A player to shore up the offensive line and a good receiver would be nice. Of course, the Bears need a QB to get the ball to a receiver...

-Ozzie Guillen got tossed from a game the other day for arguing balls and strikes. In the third inning. And then the brainiac tells the press how the umpire must hate him personally and other such nonsense. Has Kenny Williams had his annual "Stop being a distracting moron" talk with Ozzie yet? If not, he better do it quick.
