When the NFL came out with their list of the Top 100 Players For 2011, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis came in at number four overall. He was the top defensive player on the list that included right behind him, fellow Raven Ed Reed, as well as Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu and...
Brian Urlacher will be in the Hall Of Fame.
Before his 2010 season my stance on his Hall inclusion was not yet. But after another stellar season, capped off with an NFC Title game and a Pro Bowl nod, I think his credentials will definitely get him in. If he plays at a Pro Bowl level another year or two, I think he'll be a 1st ballot Hall...

49ers LB Patrick Willis wins The Butkus Award: How great will he be?
I didn't know this until yesterday, but apparently Dick Butkus has an award called The Butkus Award. Prior to the 2008 season, this was strictly a college award. The award apparently honors "athletics achievement and service to the community." The award has gone to college linebackers since 1985...
The Linking Illini respects Mr. Butkus and his views (for fear of violent reprisal)
Hey its a late start today, but unless you are up for 9am, most of my college aged peers aren't even up yet anyway. Its another day of anger and disappointment out there on the news front, and we probably won't be seeing too much good news until we beat Illinois State on Saturday. Oh well just...
