Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs was in the center of controversy last week as the linebacker decided to open his new restaurant in California on Labor, thus forcing the veteran to miss the team’s first practice of the regular season.

Now, a report indicates that Briggs was out partying and buying shots until 4 a.m. on Saturday morning.

WSCR Radio host Matt Spiegel was the one to break the news on Briggs’ partying habits this weekend.

If there’s 1 Bear you wouldn’t like hearing was out partying, buying shots for people until 4 AM Friday, who is it?I’ll share it in hour 1. — Matt Spiegel (@MattSpiegel670) September 8, 2014

To be clear, it was 4 AM Saturday morning that the man was out until. And as an aging vet fighting off time, that’s just not right. #slow — Matt Spiegel (@MattSpiegel670) September 8, 2014

How many times was Briggs’ name mentioned during the Bears’ game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday? The answer would be not many as Briggs only recorded three tackles and was consistently getting run over by the Bills’ offensive linemen and running backs.

Briggs is supposed to be the leader of the Bears’ defense. However, with controversies in the first two weeks of the regular season, Briggs may be eyeing life after football more so than his current life in football.
