Overrated! (Clap! Clap! Clap!-Clap!-Clap!)

On ESPN Radio this AM, Mike & Mike were going over 10 "Questions" about the NFL. Greenie asked Golic who is the best LB in the NFL. "Ray Lewis," Golic responded. "Who is the most overrated LB in the NFL?" was the next querry.

Golic said that it is Brian Urlacher, but that the new defense of Lovie Smith might free up Urlacher to make sidelind to sideline plays that he hasn't made. Greenie concluded that Urlacher deserved the accolades he received early in his career, but the lack of "800 pounds of tackle in front of him" had hurt his career.

I agree with all that.

What I know for sure is that Urlacher isn't the most overrated player in the city of Chicago. He's passed by a wide margin by Kerry Wood. Sammy Sosa would be above Urlacher, but people are coming around to the realization that this isn't 2001 anymore and Sosa is on the downside of his career. Hence, he's no longer overrated.
