Bears Urlacher challenged Bas Rutten UFC fighter to fight

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Ok, Brian Urlacher showed up in the Chicago Bears camp.

Even though the Bears seem to have a problem signing linebackers every year now, it appears that Brian will at least show up at Mini-camp. Good idea with a daily fine of over 8K and a possible bonus loss of 5.7 million dollars while facing child support.

Though the ability of the Bears to recover that much money from Urlacher is debatable since under the CBA’s proration system the unearned portion of the signing bonus is at most $3.7 million, Urlacher has likely gotten enough exposure to the court system through his ugly child custody battle to realize that skipping out on a three-day practice session isn’t worth the potential price tag, whether the number is $3.7 million, $5.7 million, or something in between.
