Oh man.... A great linebacker and from what I’ve seen in his post career, he didn’t take himself too seriously. RIP Dick Butkus.

But 80 is good for a former NFLer. East for me to say I know....

Wouldn’t be something if the football God let them win tonight.

I can only vaguely remember him as a player in his final season. The debate in the barbershop was between Butkus and Nobis for best middle LB in the NFL. I don’t think that anyone seriously thought that Nobis (a great player in his own right) was better. RIP.

Bears are playing tonight. They may well be inspired by the memory of this NFL legend.

The greatest middle linebacker that ever played the game.

This is the way I want to go - a sudden medical emergency, but of natural causes. Better yet, my dad did it the classic way- died in his sleep. My guess is it was sleep apnea because he was a snorer and that was before he and I knew of of the benefits of CPAP. I’m a believer in CPAP. This new machine I just received tells me how many ‘events’ I have through the night. I wouldn’t be without it.

My first knowledge of Mr. Butkus came watching him and Illinois beat my Washington Huskies in the 1964 Rose Bowl. One of the greatest, RIP.

My wife and I lightly bumped into him and his wife on a dance floor at a gala in Chicago. Said “sorry” and got a nice smile. I actually met the man.
