Lance Moore was asked if he had an remedies via Twitter on how to heal his groin injury: “I’ve had a couple of requests to rub it.”

So, people were requesting to rub it or were suggesting Lance rub it himself?

Never been an Urlacher fan

But, he has my sincerest sympathies and condolences for the loss of his mother.

Normally I would be thrilled that Urlacher might not play against us

But not under these conditions. My condolences to the Urlacher family.

I caught part of it during the pre-game of GB game…. was better than last year, maybe not as good as 2009.
