Byron Leftwich is currently enjoying a playoff run from the sidelines, as the backup quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's no secret that any competitor would rather have a starting job, and Leftwich is no different. He's even got a specific team in mind.

''We are in the playoff run right now, so I don't even want to go there, but tell them to look me up,'' Leftwich said. ''I'm a fan of Lovie Smith, I'll just say that. I thought that was where I was going to go in the beginning. I remember hoping that I would go there. I just wanted to be a part of the tradition, the history of the Bears. You're growing up, watching games at Soldier Field on TV, I wanted to be a part of that coming out. I thought there was a chance I would go there.
