One of the most popular Chicago Bears is now calling it quits, according to CBS Chicago.
Chicago Bears veteran of 13 years Brian Urlacher officially retired Wednesday morning, according to CBS Chicago.

Geneva resident/model/talk-show host/columnist Jenny McCarthy says thanks to former beau and former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher "for being Chicago’s Hulk."
Geneva's most-famous resident made her usual splash in her Sun-Times column a couple days ago when she gave some spirited well-wishes to her former beau Brian Urlacher. Writing in her Sun-Times Splash column, Jenny McCarthy said goodbye and good luck to Brian following the news that Urlacher and the Bears couldn't come to a contract agreement and the all-pro linebacker would be taking his talent to the free-agent market. McCarthy said an earlier Urlacher quote about Chicago fans was taken out of context, because everywhere she went with Brian last summer (ah, those halcyon days), "he stopped and signed every autograph and took pictures with fans." When Urlacher's career is over and he's in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, McCarthy predicted…

It looks like "Brienny," aka America's Cutest Couple, is over. No news on how long McCarthy might stay in Geneva.
Say it isn't so, Jenny and Brian! You were indeed an adorable couple. But now it's back to being good friends, at least according to People magazine and any number of sources. Jenny told People magazine Thursday (Aug. 16, 2012) that, sadly, the two were breaking up. "Brian and I have decided to turn our romance into an amazing friendship," she said in a statement to People. She promised to be Urlacher's biggest cheerleader and finished the statement with a sentiment we all share: "Go, Bears!" The story, of course, spread like wildfire, and has since been reported in many places, including the Chicago Sun-Times, the New York Daily News, NBC5 and Sports Illustrated. America's cutest couple were seen numerous times in sleepy, enchanting …
