Dead today at 80 years young. One of the greatest badassest linebackers to ever play football. Even though I'm a Lions fan I always liked watching him when we played the Bears.  |

He was great, loved him when I was growing up. My dad thought he was great, too.

Yep, R.I.P. Mr. Butkus. I was a big fan growing up and watching you play. I too, though, am a Lions fan.

R.I.P. sir!
I met this smart humble humorist man at an awards function at college and he was such a wonderful mentor. That was a very long time ago but he left an impression on everyone he met, on and off the field.

R.I.P. I thought all the Lions fans were long gone. You would have seen a helluva lot of them in Green Bay if you watched a couple Thursdays ago. They almost took over Lambeau Field. |

R. I. P. I remember hearing a story that one of the years the Bears were in a playoff game. A day before the game Dick Butkus showed up at opposing teams hotel and knocked on the other teams Q.B. room door and handed him a popped football, the story goes on saying the Q.B. had his worst game ever. Getting old is a *bleep* because I can't remember the team or the Q.B. that this happened to.
