Man Meat Monday #2

I'm not going to lie. I deemed the first ever Man Meat Monday to be a huge success. I absolutely loved reading your comments. I hope to get more and more every week! Keep it up, loyal readers!

Based on my weekend activities (or utter lack thereof), it shouldn't be too surprising to learn that this week's honoree for Man Meat Monday is not only a football player, but my 2nd favorite celebrity crush of all-time...

Brian Urlacher

Claim to Fame: Middle linebacker for the Chicago Bears

Birthday: May 25, 1978

In honor of the Bears' playoff win today, I've chosen Brian Urlacher, my big, sweltering chunk of testosterone-filled man meat. Although I never could have predicted an infatuation with a bald man, my instant attraction toward Mr. Urlacher isn't very shocking. It goes without saying, but I love football...Brian Urlacher is the flawless embodiment of passionate, dedicated, defensive football. Not only has Brian been named to the Pro Bowl seven times, but he's won NFL Defensive Player of the Year (2005) and consistently leads his team in tackles. After attending the University of New Mexico, he was chosen 9th overall in the 2000 NFL draft. He's captured the nickname of 'Monster of the Midway' and the hearts of Bears' fans ever since.

He's humble, handsome, and huge (6'4" and 258 lbs). He's a family man, he's shy, and like Vince, he lives in a lovely suburb of beautiful Chicago. He loves his teammates, serves as their emotional leader, and, at times, he seems to single-handedly take games into his own hands. Since we can't just be shallow here at Man Meat Monday (HA!), he also takes part in community service projects, donates his time and money to the Special Olympics, and hosts his own children's football camp every summer back home in Albuquerque. Excuse me while my ovaries explode.

Random tidbit: He has a younger brother named Casey, who played briefly for the Chicago Rush of the Arena Football League.

Only downfall?: He has two children (Pamela and Riley) with his ex-wife and a son (Kennedy) with another baby mama. I thought that was my role.

Oh yeah - I met Mr. Urlacher in 2007 at an autograph convention and he was incredibly nice. When I explained to him that we couldn't make love right then and there in the convention center, he completely understood, despite his ravenous and primal yearning (But, seriously, he put up with my stuttering and got a picture with me).



So, readers: It's your turn. Would you let Brian Urlacher BEAR down on your tight end? ...or is it just me?
