Urlacher receives much more attention than Briggs does, and if you ask anyone in the game, 11 out of 10 people would take Urlacher over Briggs any day of the week, so I don't quite know what you're talking about there. I'm one of the people that think that Briggs is a good player, but is also a product of a system which has the best linebacker in the league featured prominently in it, leading other teams to focus less on those around him. Let me say it again, Briggs is good. But hell no, he doesn't deserve more money than Urlacher, which is what he wants.
Before Lance's whining about his contract, I had nothing against him. He seemed like a nice guy, and did a good job on the field. However, now that he's gone out of his way to bash everyone in the Bears management and front office, well, I have no respect for him. You can like it, you can hate it, but it's how I feel.
