RIP. The only knee Butkus ever took was a quarterback’s. He gave it back, though.

I remember him well even though I was young. He would rattle your bones

He had a good life. His sit-com wasn’t that bad, as I recall. Very pablumish, but watchable.

Wouldn’t make it in today’s NFL. Too much pass coverage required by LB’s.

I remember those NFL Films with the Sam Spence music, narrated by John Facenda. The voice of God.

He was also in the movie “Gus” about the field goal kicking donkey. It has Bob Crane in it too from Hogan’s Heroes.

He played TV salesman for a local BMW dealer when I lived in Ventura county. Usually funny commercials.

Some QB spoke of Butkus on the other side making mewling noises in eagerness to get at him.
Said it was unnerving, can imagine
