Crashed Black Lamborghini Roadster near Devon Avenue on I-94.

A crashed 2007 Lamborghini Roadster was found about 3:14 a.m. against a guard rail off the shoulder of the northbound lanes of Interstate Highway 94 near Devon Avenue [MAP/SAT]. The car was damaged and abandoned.

Temporary Texas license plates were on the car and Illinois license plates registered to Lance Briggs were found inside the $350,000 car.

Police are uncertain whether Briggs himself was driving the car when it crashed

Briggs was a third round draft pick (68th overall) by the Chicago Bears in the 2003 NFL Draft. In 2004 he led the team in tackles with 168, and was elected as a second alternate to the Pro Bowl. In 2005, Briggs was selected to represent the National Football Conference in the 2006 Pro Bowl. However, Briggs drew controversy when he refused to attended the Bears’ summer camp, resulting in a temporary demotion.

On the morning of March 3, 2007, Briggs was featured The Mike North Morning Show, and stated he was upset with the amount of money he was currently earning. Briggs later stated he enjoys his teammates, coaches and fans, but was fed up with the organization. He later went on to state he no longer wanted to be a Bear, and demanded a trade. Briggs also made his unhappiness known in a March 2007 interview with a Chicago radio station in which he said “I’ll do everything that’s within my power to not be with this organization.”

On March 12, 2007 Briggs announced he no longer considers himself a member of the Chicago Bears. During a cell phone interview with FOXsports.com Briggs said “I am now prepared to sit out the year if the Bears don’t trade me or release me, I’ve played my last snap for them. I’ll never play another down for Chicago again.” In explaining his demands, he said “The Bears have shown I’m not in their long-term plans so if that’s the case, I don’t want to be here.”

Briggs came to terms with the Bears on July 25, and accepted a 7.2 Million dollar contract.

Human Errors …
Driver fled the scene … that’s certain. Was there something illegal going on? … DUI, possession of substances or other illegal items … that’s what people suspect when someone flees the scene.

If Briggs wasn’t the driver, he may have lent his car to another irresponsible driver. That’s a pretty big mistake considering the cost of the car and the availabiliy of horsepower in the wrong hands.

For the respect of a player’s own body for health and sports performance and for the respect of teammates, a player better have a pretty good reason (some kind of emergency) to be out at 3:00 a.m. the night before an early morning practice while in season.

Hey Muscle Head! When safety in the gym is compromised by human error — O.K. let’s call it stupidity — and we find out about it, you can bet it will be posted right here on Exercise-Reports.com.

More coming soon.

Have you ever been injured by an exercise machine? Most machines are designed with safety in mind, but occasionally something stupid comes through in product design and manufacturing, or some amazing way for humans to hurt themselves unfolds during use or abuse of a machine.

But hold on … it’s not just the exercise machine manufacturers that occassionally err in product design and manufacturing. It might be the way a fitness center installed or placed a machine or group of machines in the design of their faciility. Or it might be some way the machine was modified after installation. Anyway, flaws we find will be posted in this section of Exercise-Reports.com.

Some errors and injuries that occur are just pure musclehead acts. For details on ways human mistakes cause injuries in fitness and from improper use of exercise machines and fitness facilities, check this column’s cousin at Never Mind, Musclehead!

Meet Basketball Coach Gregory Lynn Burr, 28. He faces 39 criminal counts ranging from child abuse resulting in serious injury to sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust. Incidents allegedly occurred from September 2005 to March 2006 at Monument Academy in Monument Colorado, where he was employed. Alledgedly, 10 students ranging from 14 to 17 years of age were subject to abuse.

A student signed an affadavit that reports that Burr would ask students to identify the capital of Thailand and when they responded ‘Bangkok,’ he would hit them in the groin.

Some of the players say they were hit in the groin 30 to 40 times but they didn’t report it to school officials, fearing that they would be kicked off the basketball team. Players said Burr hit them with his hand, basketballs and tennis balls and laughed during the abuse even when players cried with pain.

Alledgedly, Burr also showed pornographic pictures on his computer to students who visited his home for a sleepover. He reportedly threw water on students he was transporting in his car and then roll down the car windows and exposed them to frigid temperatures while they were wet.

All counts considered, Burr could face 10 to 32 years in prison. His wife Sharalee was recently fired as Athletic Director at Monument Academy.

To err is human, to forgive devine.
