PopTodd Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Reading my paper today, I came across this note (taken out as a full-page ad) by the recently released Bears DT.Words cannot express my heartfelt appreciation for your support throughout my seven seasons with the Chicago Bears, From the moment I first stepped off the plane back in 2004, I have felt the warmth of your welcome. I have been embraced by this great city and have come to know it as my home. I consider myself as much as a Chicagoan as a Texan. You have cheered with me in our victories, and I don't think I could ever get tired of hearing your roar as I am introduced before a game!You have expressed your concern over my injuries.Thousands of you have sent letters, cards and e-mails over the years wishing me well. I will deeply miss my teammates whose camaraderie on and off the field is unmatched. I could not imagine going into battle with a better group of guys. I have met so many of you in person, and you are always so kind and friendly. I will miss each and every one of you. I could have never asked for better teammates, better fans or a better city. So, thank you, Chicago. It's been a great run! Tommie Harris, The Real Deal. Class act. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KramkonG Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 It's great to see players show their affection to the fans and a city - plus, being a DT makes it that much more special since they don't get the accolades that off the line players seem to garner...Al Harris did the same thing in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel after the Packers let him go towards the end of this last season. GO PACK! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
