Merriman no fan of Urlacher

There is one thing Shawne Merriman ought to recall about Brian Urlacher heading into Sunday's game in San Diego. When the Chargers outside linebacker was suspended for four games last season for violation of the league's policy on anabolic steroids and related substances -- cheating in other words -- Urlacher did not have a word to say. But Merriman sure seemed hot about Urlacher in his comments in Friday's San Diego Union-Tribune. ''After the things that were said last year and the people that said them, anybody who is in direct competition or doing anything against me, I'm not surprised at this point at all,'' Merriman told the paper. ''I really don't care to know [Urlacher]. I've got plenty of things to say about him, but it's not important. I'll see him Sunday.''

I hope Urlacher gets an offensive down near the end zone!

Shawn, when the game is over you go over to Brian and just simply point to the scoreboard
Lightsout

Urlacher seemingly gets a free pass others do not in pro sports for being a degenerate thug. Plain and simple.

Reasons to hate Merrimen:
-He is a cheater
-That dance is seriously the worst celebration dance I have seen
-He seems like an ahole to me

Reasons I don't hate him:
-He is fun to watch (except for the dance)
-He is just SOOO good at what he does

We'll see how Merriman does without his "juice" this year!
And his celebration is ridiculous and embarrasing.
Save it for when you do, so you think you can dance.

Merrriman wasn't HALF THE MAN HE WAS after getting tested.

How is Urlacher a thug? for having relations with whor es?

September 8, 2007  09:42 AM ET

It should be a good game. At least defensively. The chargers will probably win, but it will be an entertaining one, that's for sure!

September 8, 2007  09:43 AM ET

Lana, the fact is when others have relations with "whor es" (brilliant way to get that word in here by the way) they are destroyed by the media. Urlacher was given a free pass this summer when that story came out.

Well technically it was a stripper eastcoast, but yeah, that was a pretty low class move by the man in the middle.

September 8, 2007  10:04 AM ET

What Urlacher said is nothing...Merriman is a juiced up ox with little to know discernable brain function.

Of course he would get upset now....its not like someone accused him of using steroids which was proven...now someone is accusing him of being a horrible dancer...he thinks this is a fight he can win.

Stupid roid freak.

And if dating an exotic dancer is low class...I think many men would want to be that low class.

September 8, 2007  10:07 AM ET

Look, this is all a reporter-generated crap. First, the a ss hole reporter asks Urlacher how he likes Merriman's dance. The gormless guy responds what the reporter already knows he's going to say. Then another reporter pokes at Merriman: "Hey, did you hear what Urlacher said about you?" It's so stupid, like frig ging high school. Anyway, it's all a media-driven hyping of the Chargers-Bears game and it not only means NOTHING, it's of NO INTEREST? Who cares what they think of each other and their dances? I don't like either one of them or their views. JUST PLAY FRIG GIN' FOOTBALL!!!

Why you gotta hate whitey?

September 8, 2007  10:38 AM ET

Merriman is a class A idiot. I don't hate the Chargers, but I can't stand anyone in their organization.

September 8, 2007  10:43 AM ET

dating the stripper was not the problem Saihung , having sex with her naked head, was....

September 8, 2007  10:48 AM ET

WOW! Merriman first JT now Urlacher. You need to realize that they are out of your league. Not only because they have talent you could never imagine but because THEY didn't cheat! Shut your mouth and try not to get suspended for a year this time.

September 8, 2007  10:52 AM ET

I hope this game is televised nationally. 2 Po'd monster LB's in their primes. And never going to be on the field at the same time. You know they are going to be hitting hard all day sending signals to the other guy on the bench.

This could be the game of the week. I'd really hate to be on either teams offense for this week. Someone going over the middle is going to pay.

September 8, 2007  11:02 AM ET

"having sex with her naked head"...maybe I'm a bit out of date with the lingo but... what??

September 8, 2007  11:06 AM ET

This is funny, the guy got caught cheating and now he is ticked at other people. So now HE is the victim...and yes, it was cheating and breaking the rules, that is why he got suspended. He does not deny it.

Most of the time, I think Urlacher is a class act. I'm sort of glad he said something about "the dance". I remember last year when the Bears played the Saints, and Reggie Bush did a stupid flip over the goal line. Urlacher was right there, and if it irritated ME as a fan watching it on TV, then you KNOW Urlacher wanted to punch his lights out and say, "Have a little class, Reggie."

But yeah - Urlacher got a free ride, no doubt, and that is not fair.
