Two speeches sit on the tip of Brian Urlacher's tongue.
One is 17 minutes long, the other eight. One thanks as many people as possible who helped Urlacher along a remarkable football odyssey from tiny Lovington, N.M., through Chicago, to Canton, Ohio. The other compresses those thank-yous more concisely and gets Urlacher off the stage as quickly as possible, as the former Bears linebacker typically prefers.
Which speech Urlacher decides to use Saturday when he gets inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame will depend on how he feels at the moment.
