“I have no expectations,” Brian Urlacher said last week about his candidacy for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “I won’t be disappointed if I don’t get in and I’ll be excited if I get in.”
Those words came on the Hoge & Jahns podcast in a short but memorable discussion between the retired Bears legend and WGN’s Adam Hoge. And while Urlacher’s outlook is both admirable and pragmatic, when the Class of 2018 is announced February 3, I think he’s way more likely to be excited than disappointed.
I’ve written quite a bit about Urlacher’s Hall of Fame candidacy.
