Noon kickoff with Gators shows how far Miami, ACC have fallen

The truth about Urlacher
Those of us in the opinion-making business are guilty of wanting it both ways. We require our superstar athletes to dazzle us not only with their performances, but also fill our notepads with colorful quips.

Next stop for Urlacher is Canton

No athlete since Jordan symbolized Chicago more than Urlacher
Whenever Brian Urlacher does something to confirm he hates attention as much as he loves football — grunt through a news conference, breeze by adoring fans, retire via Twitter — my mind goes back to 2003 in a corner of the Bears locker room....Tags: Football, Lance Briggs, Paris Hilton, NFL Pro Bowl, Brian Urlacher

Bulls should root for Hawks to beat Dwight Homicide, er, Howard
I don’t need the Orlando-Atlanta series to go seven games so the winner supposedly will be too tired to challenge the Bulls.

Reader Q&A: Bears mailbag
Who's the best edge rusher in the draft? RaiderNation4Life, from Twitter It’s Georgia’s Jarvis Jones. Forget about his slow 40 time. He has the burst to defeat a blocker, and he can close on the quarterback. He fits better in a 3-4 as an...
