Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher delivered some stinging criticism of Shawne Merriman's trademark celebration in Chicago newspapers earlier this week, and the Chargers' star linebacker responded in explosive fashion Thursday. "Say what you want, but you have bigger problems than my 'Lights Out' dance Sunday," said Merriman, referring to the day the two teams meet at Qualcomm Stadium. "I wouldn't be too concentrated on my dance or what I do." Urlacher made the following comments about Merriman's flamboyant dance, which includes frantic leg kicks and ferocious fist pumps: "The thing is, if you're going to do it, do it all the time. Do it when you make a bad play, too. You'll never see me doing any stupid (stuff) like that after a play. The only thing I'll do is get a little happy with my teammates."
