Urlacher

So it seems that I'm surrounded by Bears fans, not just on the street, but at work as well. Or at least people who like to call themselves Bears fans.....


R: Hey, C. Did you hear that some guy on the Bears just had knee surgery?

C: Oh, yeah I kinda heard something about that. Who was it though?

R: I can't remember his name.

C: Me neither. He's that bald guy, right?

R: Yeah.

C: And I think he's a linebacker, right?

R: Yeah I think so.

D (overhearing the conversation and jumping in): Are you kidding me? You don't know his name??

C: No. Do you know who it is?

D: Urlacher!

C: Oh yeah. Urlacher.

R (talking to C again, while D went back to his work): Do you remember his first name?

C: No. I can't think of it. You don't know it?

R: Is it Tom?

C: Yeah! That's it. It's Tom.

D (jumping back into the conversation): Are you kidding me again? Tom Urlacher?? Seriously??

C: It's not Tom?

D: No!

C & R: (blank stare)

D: It's Brian!

C & R: Oh yeah!

C went back to his desk and R came over to D's desk, which is right next to mine.

R: You know, I can remember him playing in the 1985 Superbowl game. He was incredible!

Me and D: ............

Me: .....um......He wasn't in the 1985 Superbowl......

R: He was! I can remember him playing.

D: No....I'm pretty sure he didn't start playing until 2000.

R: No, you're wrong. I remember him in that game. He was the best one on the team!

Me: Dude, that was like 30 years ago. How old do you think he is?!

R: No! It wasn't 30 years ago....

Me: Yeah, sorry I was rounding. It was only 27 years ago......

R (doing some bad math in his head and saying...): I'm sure he was in that game though. He's always been their star player!

R (walking back to his desk, talking to himself, while D and I can't stop laughing): Yeah, he's such a great player. I hope the Bears can still make it to the Superbowl without him this year!


GO BEARS!!
