One of the most popular Chicago Bears is now calling it quits, according to CBS Chicago.
Chicago Bears veteran of 13 years Brian Urlacher officially retired Wednesday morning, according to CBS Chicago. The 34-year-old linebacker says he has no regrets ending a professional career playing exclusively for the Chicago Bears. “Although I could continue playing, I’m not sure I would bring a level of performance or passion that’s up to my standards,” Urlacher told CBS news. "When considering this, along with the fact that I could retire after a 13 year career wearing only one jersey for such a storied franchise, my decision became pretty clear.” Urlacher recently made news in March when he couldn’t strike a new contract deal with the Bears—claiming the one-year, $2 million offer was “a slap in the face.” What's your reaction to …

A current gay NFL player could come out in a few months and continue to play in the league, according to an online columnist. His biggest concern? Harm from homophobic fans. How would you react if he played for your favorite team?
In the same week the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case of California's Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage case, a CBS Sports online columnist says a current gay NFL player could come out publicly within the next few months. This player would become the first athlete in one of America's major team sports to be openly gay and continue to play.

Should the Bears have offered more money to keep Urlacher in Chicago to finish out his career?
The Bears will open the 2013 season without Brian Urlacher running the defense. The 13-year veteran middle linebacker, arguably the most popular Chicago Bear of the last decade and a mainstay in the Bears defense, could not come to financial terms with the Chicago Bears. The Bears offered a one-year deal for $2 million. Urlacher, 34, initially asked for two years totaling $11.5 million but says he would have settled for $3 million. Wednesday, he called the Bears offer "a slap in the face." Urlacher's ubiquitous jersey could be seen on Bears fans of all ages and was among the NFL's most-sold jerseys through 2010. The eight-time Pro Bowler recorded 1,779 tackles, a Bears franchise record, and many believe he's a future Hall of Famer. In 2005…

As a general rule, Chicago Bears fans don't cut Green Bay any slack. Ever. But should the Packers have lost their 'Monday Night Football' game against the Seattle Seahawks on such a horrendous final call? Read what fans are saying.
Sympathy for the Green Bay Packers? That's counter to the instincts of just about every Bears fans (and breaks the laws of 57 state municipalities as well as the laws of physics). But after the Pack lost its Monday Night Football game to the Seattle Seahawks thanks to what is generously being termed the worst call in the history of all officiated sports dating back to the days when Homo habilis first kicked a rock around Olduvai Gorge, some fans can't help but feel a little bad for the division rivals. Some fans. Not all. We collected comments from readers and Bears fans from the Tinley Park Patch Facebook page and on Twitter. Some people were charitable, some upset at the mess the NFL has made with using replacement refs, and some were …
