Update: Just wanted to add this thought.

Jay Glazer and Brian Urlacher are tight. The fact that Glazer will be part of the new Fox Sports 1 show definitely will provide a comfort level for the former Bears LB. I’m sure it influenced his decision to give TV a try.

Perhaps Glazer will push the right buttons to bring out best in Urlacher?

Back in the spring, Brian Urlacher downplayed a move into broadcasting.

“I don’t know how good I’d be at that,” Urlacher told Chicago Tribune’s Vaughn McClure. “It would take a lot of work to get me ready for it. But that might be something I look into.”

Fox Sports 1 apparently thinks he has potential. The former Bears linebacker is going to land at Fox Sport 1. Big Lead filed the initial report last night, and Urlacher has confirmed it to the Tribune.

Urlacher will be part of the network’s new Fox Football Daily show that will air at 6 p.m. ET. He will join Curt Menefee, Jay Glazer, Ronde Barber and others.

Urlacher definitely won’t be as colorful as another recently retired linebacker great, Ray Lewis, who hooked up with ESPN. In Chicago, he did a Sunday night show on Fox 32 with Lou Canellis.

Urlacher generally was fairly stiff. Part of that could be due to having nothing left after playing a game. Part of that could be from being stiff.

His most memorable moment occurred last December when he jumped on the fans during his post-game Fox appearance.

“Our crowd was pretty good today for the most part. They were loud for a minute there, the boos were really loud, which is always nice,” Urlacher said. “The only team in our division that gets booed at home is us. It’s unbelievable to me.

“Believe it, don’t believe it, we don’t care. We’re going to go out there and play as hard as we can. The guys that are healthy will play and we’ll do the best we can.”

Fox Sports 1 hopes Urlacher will tap into some of that candor with his new gig.
