Sports figures in Chicago

Dear Chicago Cubs,

Please send mark Prior to Iowa to start the season. To pay this guy 3.whatever million for this season and have him start it off on the DL is ridiculous. His best chance of becoming someone that can help your team is to have him play baseball, not have an extended spring training. If he isn't on the Big League team he should be on the Iowa minor league team where he will face the best competition. Maybe he can join the MLB team by mid May, maybe not and he should be traded. But you won't know that unless he actually plays baseball.

Dear Chicago Bears,

Lance Briggs has stated more than once that he wants to 'Be THE Man' and get out of Urlacher's shadow. He isn't happy with the Franchise Tag and the 7.whatever million he will get for playing on your team next season. I say trade him. trade him to the San Francisco 49ers, or the Texans or some other 'Bad' team that doesn't really have a chance of making the playoffs let alone having a winning season. He can then 'Be THE man' on some shitty team. Sure his individual stats will be through the roof, but his team will suck. All of his stats will be useless when he isn't playing in the post season.. you know...the time when it matters most to these players.
