Glad his Bears beat the skins last night. Fitting.

He even had a name that fit him perfectly

I recall him catching a hail mary PAT from Bobby Douglass to beat the Skins way back , so yes , very fitting.

Butkus was great and being a little older than you my favorite MLBs were Sam Huff (West BY GOD Virginian) and Ray Nietzsche - My Packers

Willie Lanier and Mike Curtis were outstanding too...but none had the ability to intimidate , and back it up , quite like #51.

Mike Curtis was nasty - but I tell you was more intimidating that Butkus - probably before many of you guys time - Chuck Bednarik - Eagles - and he played both ways ---
