Lance Briggs might not be the wisest decision maker we've ever come across. The Bears linebacker's list of poor choices started last year when he called the police and told them that his Lamborghini was stolen. Actually, he'd been in a crash and left the scene of the accident. Then he signed a contract with the Bears and, moments later, decided he was unhappy with the deal.

Anyway, his unhappiness caused him to skip offseason workouts and hang out in Arizona may be his worst decision of all. It violates the terms of the plea agreement he made after the car crash.

Briggs has been summoned to appear before Cook County Judge Earl Hoffenberg on June 19 to explain why he left Illinois without permission, a violation of the agreement he reached after pleading guilty to leaving the scene of an accident following his well-publicized Lamborghini crash on the Edens Expy. last August.

Hoffenberg also wants to know how Briggs plans to complete his 120 hours of community service -- of which he has knocked out a total of two hours -- in the next five months.

Skipping the workouts costs him $250,000, a curious move from a man who feels he's being underpaid, and could cost him much more if the judge decides to make life difficult for him. I wish I had an off-Broadway show about homeless badgers for him to invest in. It's about time for him to make another bad choice.
