Whinebacker?

The Chicago Bears' Brian Urlacher has been considered kind of the face of the team over the past few seasons. He's got a funny-sounding name, he plays defense, and he plays one of the positions that often involves hitting people in the open field (linebacker). Although he was not elevated to the deity-level of Mike Ditka or the demiurge status of Dick Butkus, Urlacher was probably one of most Bears' fans favorite players.

But based on this recent interview, I think we can omit raising Urlacher to the pantheon of Bill Swerski's favorites.

Yeah, if you watch the interview, you can tell that Urlacher is mostly joking. But Ditka never would have said that -- not without leaping through the video screen and planting Wilson face-first into the turf.
