Former Bears LB Urlacher criticizes protests

[link:yahoo.com/sports/bears-brian-urlacher-instagram-post-jacob-blake-protests-kyle-rittenhouse-033552616.html|

The text of the post:

Brett Favre played the MNF game the day his dad died, threw 4 TDs in the first half, and was a legend for playing in the face of adversity.

NBA players boycott the playoffs because a dude reaching for a knife, wanted on a felony sexual assault warrant, was shot by police.

According to Wisconsin Attorney general Josh Kaul, investigators found a knife in the footwell of Blake’s vehicle, which Blake confirmed he was in possession of. Last month, Blake was charged with third-degree sexual assault, according to online court records.

Makes me, as a Steelers fan, appreciate the following play even more:

The idiot is defending shooting someone in the back seven times.

He was nowhere as bood as Butkus or Singletary anyway.

3. I was at that game, BTW

I used to drive out for 1 game a year with another group of Steelers fan friends. My one friend somehow missed both of the best plays of the game....the one above (he was in the bathroom) and a 40-yard rumble by Bettis (he was getting us all hot chocolate, which was barely lukewarm by the time he got back to us). It was a harrowing ride back along the snow-covered PA Turnpike to Delaware. Good times. But I'm glad Urlacher got owned. His obnoxious attitude is an embarrassment to a storied organization. Like Antonio Brown is to the Steelers.....
