Bears P.R. chief quits amid gambling probe

CHICAGO — Federal investigators are looking at possible gambling by the former public relations director of the Chicago Bears, including suspicions that he bet on the team's games, a newspaper reported Sunday. The Chicago Sun-Times said investigators also were looking at possible connections between a bookie and Bryan Harlan, who left as the Bears' PR chief on Friday. Harlan is suspected of placing bets on league games, including some involving the Bears, unidentified sources told the Sun-Times. There have been no allegations of point-shaving, and no players or coaches are believed to be involved in the investigation, the paper said. The league bars betting on its games by players and team employees, and prohibits them from ''associating with gamblers or gambling activities in a manner tending to bring discredit to the NFL.''
