[CBFF] SI: Urlacher seeks settlement

[Steve Behrens]

I think he's a hell of a football player.  I think he lacks some common
sense in his non-football related life.  He's young and rich and hounded by
many many beautiful women, and he's made a couple mistakes that have lasting
power.  I don't pass judgement on that.  The part that disappoints me is
that it seemed, the way I read the article,  he took the initiative *only*
to head off the big child support payment.  That, really, is the extent of
it for me.  Hopefully, it will pay dividends in that the boy will get to
know his dad in a positive way.... hopefully.
