BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

I'm not really pushing to go anywhere. When you look at the pros, guys like Ray Lewis and Brian (Urlacher), that's their job. When you're in college, you can just have fun and play ball.

Quotes from articles mentioning Brian Urlacher
Any time you are out practising football it is a big plus to have Brian Urlacher out here ... It was fun to see him out here. He picked up right where he left off from the minicamp.
said Bob Babich
In football, the way things work, if you've outplayed your contract, you've outplayed your contract regardless ... It doesn't matter if you've been making a lot of money and you're a marquee player. Everyone knows what our marquee player has meant to not only this team but this city and this organization.

It's part of the business and it's part of the business that none of us really like ... When you're in a contract dispute, you're viewed as selfish. Even though that is a fact that you're thinking about yourself, no one else is going to think about you but you. No one else is going to take care of you like you.
