Been watching this show for a long time and it’s safe to say this is a Top 10 interview! Brian Urlacher is hilarious 🤣

[@DaneOrschlovsky]

Fifty -Two freaking minutes! What a WAGON

[@chrisvincent7372]

Bears fan so I'm loving this interview also loved that Urlacher said Zach Thomas should be in the hall that guy was a beast

[@georgemartinez5855]

agreed 💯

[@protroll697]

ZT was a RedRaider so automatic HOF rejection!

[@beaulittle]

@@protroll697 😂😂

[@kirthooper4625]

Zach Thomas was my inspiration. Dude was legit.

[@Holycheepchit]

The best LB in the 90s and early 2000s was Ray Lewis, as a dolphins fan we can agree on this... if I was ranking them I would put ray at 1 but after that there are a few names like urlacher brooks and Seau but I promise you like urlacher said Thomas is right there and definitely has a strong argument for top 5

[@jacobburbo4479]

Can we talk about how good this man is on a mic. Get this man on da show weekly. This guys is just one of the boys.

[@joenobody5631]

Fuckin' natural.

[@jamescichy5324]

He basically was the Chicago Bears in the 2000s

[@Theiliteritesbian]

[@FTW54]

Believe it or not he actually took speech lessons for awhile before he gave his HOF speech. Doesn't like public speaking and said he always spoke very fast which he still kinda does. But Pat seems to bring the best out of these types on his show like Rodgers, Brock, Urlacher.

[@ChiTownOriginator]

Check out the criminally short video of him and Kittle reacting to each other's highlights. Grew up watching Brian and I'm still salty about how the Bears didn't sign him for another couple years.

[@the_wormanator]

I’d love to see Urlacher and Aaron on the show, can’t even imagine the stories they’d tell.

[@mvzpodcast]

It would have to be fun

[@offthesouthernisles]

dude, that would be the best show in sports

[@jimmychurch9588]

I’d love to see that

[@whitecheddar6177]

Yes!

[@jimmycalkins9110]

That actually would be a great show

[@randybutler6512]

I LOVE what Urlacher said about Lovie Smith. He is definitely an amazing coach and I never understood why he got fired after a 10 win season!

[@NotJames37]

Offense sucked. We were tired of no offense

[@carterhansen2665]

@@NotJames37 yeah the bears really found a consistent offensive groove post lovie🙃 it was a rather reactive move by our almighty president ted Phillips. Dude has the 85 team land in his lap and ran the organization into the ground.

[@iels7346]

Because they started that season 8-0 or 7-1 and playoffs were an expectation, finishing 10-6 after starting 8-0 and missing the playoffs is bad.

[@Eli-ss9gj]

@@iels7346 they went way downhill after Lovie though. They were still respectable and/or competitive with him, and absolutely weren’t after him.

[@spjr99]

@@carterhansen2665 it wasn''t the right decision in hindsight but at the time a lot of people wanted him fired.

Bring them on Rodgers Tuesday

[@askaladd814]

Would be beautiful. And skol

[@jacobhoffman927]

He ain't a linebacker but Jared Allen would be cool too

[@markchristian787]

Whats so cool about this is that Brian, even being one of the best linebackers in the game, is the kind of guy you can sit down and have a few beers with. Super down to earth and chill. Great interview and great show, Pat and crew!

[@trevormay101]

I miss Urlacher so much. He was my absolute FAVORITE growing up watching the Bears him,Briggs and Peanut were AWESOME. Still insane to me that he was a safety in college

[@jacobbailey979]

Im a year late to share but i share your sentiment. Im 37 years old so my bears fandom grew into diehard during the urlacher years. I was in jr high when they drafted him and mid 20s by the end. I get the tingles watching old highlights. Im sad that he never got the ring. Not because i wanted the superbowl, even though i did. But mostly because he deserved a superbowl to put the cherry on a legendary career.

[@rebeccageiger9110]

Packer fan here. Always respected Urlacher and he always seemed like a stand up guy. He continues to prove that.

[@cjhdabears7186]

Bears fan I can say the same about Favre and Rodgers great guys Hall of fame players much respect. But at Soldiers Field I will still boo and flip them the bird outside I wouldn't, inside they are the enemy you know what I mean Good luck this season cheesehead 😁

[@trongriffinproductions7159]

Urlacher is a stand up guy whose former teammates and organization criticized for his insensitive remarks. His former teammate Matt Forte who is highly respected said: “The comment [Urlacher] posted is void of empathy, compassion, wisdom and coherence,” Forte wrote. “But full of pride and ignorance! I pray for those who have been blinded by their wealth, privilege and earthly fame that breeds arrogance in their hearts. And those who refuse to acknowledge racism and injustice but instead choose to place their energy into justifying it by quickly judging the victim’s life as if they themselves are more valuable because their sins are different or weren’t caught by man. But God sees all.”

[@zachdamenti4387]

Brian “Beast” Urlacher is such a legend especially cuz of the unforgettable retired uniform number 54!

[@michaelj4912]

Da Boss!

[@zachdamenti4387]

First Jersey I ever had. His rookie year was my first year of kindergarten. George Kittle was in my elementary school class and I remember he loved him too. DA BEARS.

[@claytonbernard664]

This has to be one of the best days in Zito’s life, as a Chicagoan I’d kill to be in that room

[@claytonbernard664]

Please have Urlacher on for an Aaron Rodgers Tuesday, the electricity would break the NFL world

[@jimmychurch9588]

Yes please

[@pretzler3844]

Being raised in NM This guy has brought lots of pride to a desert. Watching him in college was like watching a one man covering an entire field. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any performance compare.

[@zach6808]

Zach Thomas needs to be in the hall

[@Cgevy_Girl_001]

Packer fan here…this guys awesome!

[@patbanks5932]

What an amazing interview. Love #54. Lovie Smith all day. This conversation is top #5 best you have ever had. Can’t wait until you have Zach Thomas on in studio. He will have to be wearing his HoF jacket though. Urlacher thank you for being such a bad ass for my Bears.

[@cammyboyyy8173]

As a lions fan total respect for this freak , always gave us hell

[@davidtrianni5763]

What a great F****n interview. Us Bears fans miss ya. Just downloaded Ludex. Love it

[@AustinM_91]

I could’ve listened to 2-3 hours of this, Brian is the goat

[@camvick407]

54 was an absolute dawg. Straight out of a movie.

[@elsavagespence918]

Brian Urlacher is a specimen! Reminds me so much of Dave Bautista. This guy needs to be on with AJ Hawk at some point

[@slavex7]

Used to work at a casino in Milwaukee when BU still played. And I can say Brian is one of the best players we had come thru on a regular basis , even after a loss to the pack he was still always nice to the staff

[@doctorjunk9165]

Potawatomi, a Milwaukee staple!

[@RK-re5tj]

Urlacher is humble and real. Love it

[@giants2k8]

This interview was fantastic. Urlacher is awesome! Him and Pat together are great, amazing chemistry. I’d love to see them do a weekly or monthly little segment or something. Because this was hilarious.

[@Matteuslee]

One of the handful of best linebackers to ever lace it up.

[@cowboy67501]

I'm not a Bears fan and I never really kept up with Urlacher's career but this was a great interview!! I learned a lot about him and have a whole new respect for him. Solid guy!!

[@matt_indy]

Kevin Mawae spent a good amount of time during his own Hall of Fame speech praising Zach Thomas as the best player he ever faced. Thomas has HoF numbers and has received endless praise from his peers.

[@matt_indy]

… And he will probably never get in because Miami was just an average team the second half of his career.

[@adamhasser2010]

He definitely deserves to be in the HoF. Zach Thomas was a beast for years and years. Constantly double teamed on a crappy team.

[@beauclark1650]

Major respect for a bald man who got hair to still rock a cap indoors

Brian you are a lifesaver. I just inherited 25 full binders of 900-1000 cards each from the 90s and 2000s. I had no idea where to start.

Met this man at a ups in Arizona. Still huge. Very nice.

[@danielaranda8809]

I was living in Las Cruces and went to go watch Urlacher play UTEP, went just to watch him. This dude would not come off the field , I am talking kick of return ,kick off,,punt team and punt return , . He scored a touchdown that game as a tight end.This one play New Mexico punted the ball to UTEP the punt returner came around towards the sidelines o was sitting around the 45 yard ,I never saw Urlacher as I was watching the returner .. I feel like i am over exaggerating, cause still to this day did I really just see that. He hit the punt returner so hard the guy flew past the benches and to the cement where we sit . UTEP fans and everybody there were just in awe I remember telling a UTEP fan that'd Urlacher that dudes go to the pros . New Mexico we don't have much ,Now with the payers being played it's good they do deserve it. The down side of that is its they will never be a UNM , UTEP, NMSU , Colorado St. ,teams that just don't have the money to compete for the top Players . Even the hope for that special year is gone.

[@darickbonebrake6774]

Great interview! I’m a Steelers fan born and raised in The Burgh (Plum Borough actually, Pat) and we have always respected Urlacher and the way he played the game…which made seeing The Bus run him over all the more Sweet! Nothing against Urlacher on that play-it was Two Beasts meeting at the goal line and The Bus got a step on him. It didn’t happen often in Urlacher’s great career

[@johnpaine6845]

Such a good show, Urlacher is awesome!

[@brianbelden2449]

I would love to see Urlacher put together his own defensive scheme, and get to a coaching staff as a LB coach. Then eventually work his way up to a DC with his own defensive playbook. This guy played surrogate safety in a 3-3-5 while in college. Then came to the NFL and started briefly as a SAM and moved to the MIKE LB in an attacking 4-3 downhill scheme and killed it. Then under Lovie in a 4-3 TAMPA2 played a significantly different roll as a coverage MIKE LB and killed it. He was one of the brightest defensive minds to ever play. I always wonder what that 1985 defense would have been like with Urlacher in the middle of a defense that would have had 8 pro bowlers surrounding him. Urlacher was excellent at calling out the defensive plays that put the players around him in positions to succeed. I know he's said he wouldn't care for coaching but I STRONGLY believe he could become one HELL of a Defensive Coordinator.

[@vicksburgtomplsthemississi9127]
