After only two games into the new season, Brian Urlacher has decided to quit his role as analyst at Fox Sports.

The former Bears linebacker informed the network that he is resigning his position so he could spend more time with his family. This season, Urlacher worked on Fox Sports 1’s “America’s Pregame” and Sunday morning’s “Fox NFL Kickoff.”

In an interview with Matt Spiegel and his former teammate Patrick Mannelly on WSCR-AM 670 this morning, Urlacher said traveling weekly to Fox’s studios in Los Angeles was taxing.

“I really enjoyed working with the guys at Fox Sports 1,” Urlacher said. “The travel to (Los Angeles) got to me quite a bit. I called the producers and they were understanding about my situation. I wanted to feel retired. That was my main reason. They were cool about it.”

Urlacher went on to detail how he enjoys playing kickball with his kids in the backyard.

“When you’re retired, that’s what you do. ”

Urlacher joined the network last year after retiring from the Bears. He worked his last shows Sunday.
