Brian Urlacher Says Goodbye to Professional Football

One of the most popular Chicago Bears is now calling it quits, according to CBS Chicago.

Chicago Bears veteran of 13 years Brian Urlacher officially retired Wednesday morning, according to CBS Chicago. The 34-year-old linebacker says he has no regrets ending a professional career playing exclusively for the Chicago Bears. “Although I could continue playing, I’m not sure I would bring a level of performance or passion that’s up to my standards,” Urlacher told CBS news. "When considering this, along with the fact that I could retire after a 13 year career wearing only one jersey for such a storied franchise, my decision became pretty clear.” Urlacher recently made news in March when he couldn’t strike a new contract deal with the Bears—claiming the one-year, $2 million offer was “a slap in the face.”  What's your reaction to …

Scout Boys' Lacrosse Team Falls to Spartans

Lake Forest High School ends regular seaon with a 12-4 loss. Heads to playoffs.

Glenbrook North High School's boys lacrosse team was already up by five goals at halftime, leading Lake Forest, 7-2, at Friday's regular season finale in Northbrook. The Spartans would eventually walk away with a 12-4 victory. Lake Forest scored fast in the third quarter and made a big push to keep the Spartans on defense for most of the third. It didn't stop Glenbrook North from owning a fast break to score back-to-back goals midway through the quarter. The Scouts scored early again, in the fourth quarter, but the Spartans answered right back with two more goals.  "I think it was a good way to end out our season on a high note," boy's lacrosse assistant varisty coach Mike Synek said. "We came off a tough loss against [Saint Viator High …
