Lance Briggs Is The New Shawn Kemp

You say you like the Athletes Making Babies site? Well, then you're gonna love the tale of the smooth operator that is Bears linebacker Lance Briggs.

The Chicago Sun-Times, getting a real kick out of itself with its "Baby mamas bear down on Briggs" headline, details just how much Briggs paternity madness is going on right now.

n court Wednesday, Briggs' ex-girlfriend Brittini Tribbett, 21, again pleaded for Briggs to provide adequate emotional and financial support for their baby girl, while another pregnant woman stood by, listening to talk of how she's set to deliver a Briggs baby.

Briggs, 27, wasn't in court. He is living in Arizona with yet another woman who recently gave birth to another daughter of Briggs, those involved in the case alleged.

Yep, Briggs is only 27; he has so much more time with which to plant seeds. Supposedly Briggs' lawyer is close to reaching a settlement. Sweet. Time to get back to work.

A Report From One Of Briggs' Fellow Motorists

Now that Bears linebacker Lance Briggs has confirmed he was the one driving that Lamborghini Monday morning that was left on the Edens Expressway in Chicago — he's giving some ridiculous explanations too — we are happy to provide you with a report from a reader who was right next to Briggs' car last Sunday night.

The reader, who wishes to remain anonymous, took this picture and filed this report to us Monday afternoon. We held it until now because it wasn't confirmed Briggs was in the car.

So I totally drove alongside whoever crashed Briggs' car for a while last night at like 1030. I even took a photo of it, because I'd never actually seen one on the street, and dude kept blowing through stoplights at 100mph, only to have my slow ass pull up behind him at the next light every time, which was funny. This is at Roosevelt and State in Chicago's South Loop. You can just make out the unregistered Texas plates — sorry it's not better, stupid iPhone camera.

The Bears seem oddly complacent in their investigation of Briggs, whose rambling two-minute talk to reporters about the incident made little sense. We wonder if they'll be allowed to stay so casual about the whole matter.

Where Not To Park Your Lamborghini

Whenever Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs wakes up, groggy, confused, wondering where his car is, we hope he turns on CBS-2 in Chicago. There, he will learn exactly where his car is. Sorry: His Lamborghini.

Anyway, it's currently wrapped around a light pole on the Edens Expressway. That happened about 3:30 a.m. CT today — about five-and-a-half hours ago — and the driver (who is not yet confirmed to have been Briggs) walked away and left his $350,000 car on the side of the road.

We imagine Briggs, still asleep, snoring, peaceful, dreaming of Jon Kitna ... and then he wakes up, shakes off the sleep, looks out the window and realizes ... hey ... where's the car? And, uh ... why is my face on TV? And who are these 11 women?
