Speaking of fancy cars that go fast and wind up in wrecks, that $350,000 Lamborghini registered to Bears linebacker Lance Briggs that was found yesterday just after 3 a.m. smashed on a Chicago freeway was, in fact, being driven by Briggs. He finally chatted with police about it yesterday and the Bears are saying, so far, that the star linebacker will not be disciplined.

Briggs was unhurt, there was no evidence of alcohol use at the accident scene, police said, and Briggs faces a minor misdemeanor charge and two tickets.

The misdemeanor is for leaving the scene of an accident. One ticket is for failing to immediately notify police of the accident. And the other ticket is for -- and this one is the kicker -- improper lane usage. Yeah, the police frown on folks using that lane the state reserves for guardrails.
