       Walter Payton is my all-time favorite sports hero.  I was at
       Soldier Field in 1977 when he set the single-game rushing record
       of 275 yards in 1977.  I thought it was odd that he was sitting
       on the bench by himself during the game.  As it turns out, he
       had 101 degree fever and the flu.  He had 40 rushes that day for
       a 6.8 ypc average.  Oh, and it was raining.  I missed Jordan's
       run in Chicago but was privileged to watch the best ever for his
       entire career.

       Urlacher rips Soldier Field turf, London game, Dhani Jones’ bow
       tie
       Posted by Michael David Smith on June 23, 2011, 12:32 PM EDT
       Getty ImagesBears linebacker Brian Urlacher had plenty to say
       in a radio interview Thursday morning, talking about the sorry
       state of the sod at Soldier Field, explaining why he doesn’t
       want to play in London this season and firing back at criticisms
       leveled by Dhani Jones.
       Asked on ESPN 1000 in Chicago about Bears president Ted Phillips
       saying the grass at Soldier Field gives the Bears a home-field
       advantage, Urlacher said that’s not true, and in reality the
       grass at Soldier Field is “a disaster.”
       “The weather I think is the biggest advantage we have against
       teams that don’t play in our weather,” Urlacher said, via Kevin
       Seifert of ESPN.com. “But we’re a fast defense. You put us on
       that FieldTurf eight home games a year? We’re going to be really
       fast. You put [Julius] Peppers on that turf? [Devin] Hester,
       with all those cuts on turf? [Johnny] Knox? All those guys.
       We’re going to be a little better, I think. Faster.”
       The turf at Wembley Stadium in London likely won’t be in top
       condition for the October 23 Bears-Buccaneers game, but that’s
       not why Urlacher is unhappy about going there. Urlacher just
       seems to think it’s dumb for the NFL to play across the pond.
       “No, I’m not excited to go to London,” Urlacher said. “I don’t
       understand why they do that. . . . I am not excited to go to
       London, I will say that.”
       And as for the comments from Bengals linebacker Dhani Jones that
       Urlacher isn’t one of the 10 best linebackers in the NFL,
       Urlacher decided to rip Jones’ style of dress.
       “I think we were drafted in the same class, right? Is he a 2000
       guy? I haven’t heard anything about him since then,” Urlacher
       said. “I saw him on a TV show with a bow-tie on though. So I
       know him better for how the way he dresses than what he does on
       a football field. Guys are going to talk. I’ve definitely had a
       lot worse things said publicly from guys, so I can live with
       it.”

       In case you don't know, Dhani Jones was a guest on the NFL
       Channel last week.
       The other guys had asked him to rate his top 10 active
       linebackers.
       They ripped him because he left off urlacher and put himself
       seventh.
       The other ex player commentators totally discredited Jones for
       that move.

       Non Union Labor ? :D
       Seriously, the guys who manage the GB turf are head and
       shoulders above the clowns the Park District uses. Not only do
       they win the friggen SB, but their turf is better to boot. A
       shame indeed.....
