It's only a car

Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs piled his brand-new (less than a month old) $400,000 Lamborghini into a concrete overpass support the other day near Skokie, IL, according to the Sun-Times, and walked away from it. As in walked away without reporting the accident to police, which got him into a spot of trouble - but only a small spot. Briggs was charged with "petty offenses," report the Sun-Times's Maureen O'Donnell and Frank Main.

A couple of graphs further down the column our intrepid reporters manage this:

Briggs has a rocky driving history -- at least in Tucson, Ariz., where he played for the University of Arizona. From 2000 to 2003, he was hit with four speeding tickets in the area and charged with driving with a suspended license, no insurance and failure to appear in court. He still owes $1,024 in fines in Tucson, a court official said.

Which may leave you asking, how could he afford a 400-grand Lamborghini and not be able to pay $1,024 in fines. Is that what you're asking, Bunky?

Well, it's a dumb question. Forget about it.
